The EU’s Counter-Terrorism Monitoring, Reporting and Support Mechanism (CTMORSE) has recently published a report in which data collection and findings by PREVEX researchers have been explicitly quoted. The report, entitled “Global Violent Right-Wing Extremism: Mapping the Threat and Response in the Western Balkans, Turkey, and South Africa”, maps the threat landscape in three local case studies where violent right-wing extremism (VRWE) extremism has proliferated significantly – the Western Balkans, Turkey, and South Africa.
PREVEX was cited on its research from the Balkans, and more specifically the working paper on enabling environments, drivers and the occurrence/non-occurrence of violent extremism in the Balkans, as well as the policy brief on the EU and other stakeholder’s prevention strategy in the region.
The EU’s report concludes, among other things, that ethnonationalism is a major threat to the Western Balkans, and its political presence could potentially lead to a disruption in the regional peace agreement and new conflicts.
The CTMORSE report by Claudia Wallner and Dr Jessica White can be found here.
