According to American Intelligence, Western Balkans are threatened by any military conflict

According to this report, Russia will attempt to exploit ethnic tensions in the Balkans and high-level corruption to undermine the Euro-Atlantic path of the countries of the region.

The Western Balkans will almost certainly remain in danger of low-level violence and perhaps an open military conflict during 2019. Russia will seek to exploit ethnic tensions and high levels of corruption to prevent countries in this region from moving towards membership in the European Union and NATO”, the report said.

According to the report, the militant group Islamic State and the al-Qaeda terrorist organisation continue to be considered a global security risk.

The report says the militant Islamic State group still orders thousands of fighters in Syria and Iraq and has thousands of supporters around the world, despite the losses it has suffered in the territory.

According to I The SIS will most likely continue to launch attacks outside Iraq and Syria's territory against regional and Western opponents, including the United States of America.

“The ISIS is conducting attacks on Iraq and Syria to undermine stabilisation efforts and retaliate against its enemies, exploiting tensions between sects in both countries. We appreciate that I The SIS will seek to exploit the situation, including Sunity discontent, social instability and the lack of the extension of security forces, to regain territory in Syria and Iraq, for a longer term”, the report says.

Part of this report also speaks of the threat that could come from the Al-Qaeda organisation. This organisation, according to this report, remains a challenge for the United States and its allies for next year.
