The Western Balkans’ CVE Regional Conference, supported by the Government of Albania and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, was held on the 4th of June 2018, at the lobby of the Palace of Congresses, in Tirana. The opening session was welcomed and moderated by Mr. Agron Sojati, the National Coordinator for Countering Violent Extremism-Albania. Mr. Sojati emphasized the new approach of the last decade in responding to radicalization and violent extremism, which involves not only security agencies but all the structures of the society in quite many of the democratic countries. He also stressed the need of fostering regional and broader partnerships against a common threat, which helps bringing effective remedies on what hasn’t been done good and in time, as well as bring better results.
