(New York, N.Y./Berlin) – Radical political Islamism has received increasing
attention, especially following the recent terror attack in Austria and the
subsequent arrests that aimed to curtail this ideology in order to prevent
future attacks. Whether this will be successful in preventing terrorism is
debatable. However, such actions occurring so near Central and Eastern Europe
underline an unprecedented need to explore the spread and influence of this
ideology.

 

Supported by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), GLOBSEC has begun mapping
the efforts one of the best-known political Islamist movements, the Muslim
Brotherhood, in a selection of countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The
following questions drove our work: In what communities is the movement active?
What organisations represent it? What access to the governments does it have?
How do the organisations cooperate on the national and regional level?

 

At the conclusion of this project, we would like to present to you the latest
results from the last two countries, North Macedonia and Bosnia Herzegovina, as
well as the overall conclusions that can be drawn for the region as a whole.
