6 7 INTRODUCTION

Kosovo Security Barometer report on violent extremism 2018 draws attention to the fact that Koso- vo citizens still believe that returned foreign fighters are a security concern due to their war skills and their connections with terrorist groups. To understand the impact of the community in the re- habilitation efforts, it is crucial to know their perceptions about violent extremism (VE) since each community their needs, similarities and differences. More than half of the respondents would not accept former fighters in their community. While, in 2017 respondents were overwhelmingly supportive for the prevention and rehabilitation programs by the Government of Kosovo to counter violent extremism, in 2018 48 percent of respondents, consider that Kosovo institutions should be more focused on prevention programs because the situation is the same and no changes are noticed in this regard.

This report consists of data analysis on perceptions regarding threat of violent extremism and trust towards stakeholders involved in prevention of this phenomena. It is divided in three main sessions: the first focuses on general perceptions about violent extremism and other forms of extremism such as: ethnically motivated violence, political violence and religiously motivated violence; the sec- ond outlines the perceptions towards risks and threats of returned fighters, and community will- ingness to accept former fighters and women/minors; the last session focuses on the perceptions towards stakeholders involved in implementation of the CVE strategy.

23 METHODOLOGY WHAT IS KOSOVO SECURITY BAROMETER?

The Kosovo Security Barometer (KSB) is a special program of the Kosovar Centre for Security Studies (KCSS) which was established in September 2012. Its primary focus is to measure public’s trust toward security, justice and central institutions in Kosovo as well as to measures citizens’ perception of the inter- nal and external security threats posed to Kosovo. The KSB is the first and the largest undertaking of this kind designed, implemented, and communicated by a local think tank in Kosovo. The KSB’s uniqueness in Kosovo is its political neutrality. As an independent think-tank, KCSS has no political constraints in com- municating any of the findings and messages of the survey. The KSB is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods that provides objective and credible results. Its data are collected through face- to-face interviews with randomly selected respondents conducted by KCSS field researchers throughout the entire Kosovo. The KSB questionnaire mostly consisted of closed-ended questions in the form of five point Likert Scale, followed by several open-ended questions that allow respondents to provide their thoughts without predefined options.
