The research examined the drivers of radicalisation and violent extremism across the Western Balkans. In-depth studies were produced in each of the Western Balkans Six, tasked with 1) mapping forms of extremism; 2) examining drivers and contributing factors of radicalisation (global, regional, national and local drivers, political and socio-economic); 3) developing a profile of at-risk communities; 4) identifying any potential links with organised crime, money laundering, and terrorism; and 5) analysing trans-national co-operation of violent extremist groups. These issues were explored with key stakeholders within communities, civil society and government, in order to build a picture of the specific situation in each country. This research seeks to inform and assist the development of countering violent extremism (CVE) policies and programming, offering findings of relevance to practitioners and policymakers. This document is a summary of discussion points from the research. The project was delivered by the British Council through UK funding. The findings and policy recommendations do not necessarily reflect the position of the UK Government.
