Description

This policy study aims to provide a better understanding of The Republic North of Macedonia’s specific situation when it comes to violent extremism. Moreover, it attempts to map the current trend of violent extremism (VE) in North Macedonia and the Western Balkans region by un-derlining the driving forces for VE, while also looking at the institutional and legal re-sponse in the country in regards to VE. More specifically, it unveils what has so far been done institutionally to tackle this issue, while analysing the latest legal amendments and examining what effects they have produced on the ground, in order to be able to provide practical and policy-relevant recommendations to a number of relevant stakeholders that work directly on the topic of countering and preventing violent religious extrem-ism. The policy tudy also looks into the process of de-radicalization and resocialization of returning foreign fighters.
