| Description | The action aims to assist the Western Balkans in their efforts to prevent and combat violent extremism, notably by introducing the Radicalisation Awareness Network (RAN) model and its approach in the Western Balkans and by carrying out small scale actions with specialised (international) organisations (in particular, Civil Society Organisations). Its main objective is to contribute to curb security risks of radicalization, violent extremism leading to terrorism, and recruitment of foreign terrorist fighters as requested by the EU Member States in their endorsement of the Western Balkans, building up on the Western Balkan Counter Terrorism initiative (one of the three pillars of the Western Balkan Internal Integrative Security Governance). |
