Albright warns Kosovo of Syria returnees: You should have received support from all partners

The return of over 100 Kosovars from Syria has also become a topic of discussion in the United States.

Former U.S. State Secretary Madeleine Albright has warned of Kosovo, as according to her, Kosovo would have to receive support from other partners for such an act, besides the US.

She says that such actions must be taken care of so that problems that have once been resolved do not return.

Can extremism be prevented by fighting the basic causes of the most vulnerable people in fragile states toward his ideology? With the spread of this phenomenon in the world, a working group in Washington suggests a new approach to that end.

At the request of Congress, the Peace Institute drafted a report that concludes that success will depend on a strategy of co-operation and co-ordination among partners in this war in the United States, but also on local solutions. As the Voice of America “announces, in the activity of publishing the report, a State Department official and several participants also answered questions about the return of foreign fighters to Kosovo.

The report concludes that the more fragile the country is, the more likely it is to become the common denominator for a host of problems related to violent conflict.

The report describes a sense of injustice, deep dissatisfaction, the lack of feeling among citizens that the country is filling its needs, so the social contract is essentially broken”, says the president of the Institute of Peace, Nancy Lindborg.

Steven Hadley, chairman of the Peace Institute Board of Directors and former National Security Council at the time of President George W. Bush, says these countries are also transformed into theatres for the rivalry of great powers. He sees the key to the accountability of the country's governments.

You can't have long-term stability and society that can't be dissolved by terrorism, the waves of migration and the intervention of external powers, if governments don't respond to the needs of the country, they are not seen as legitimate by their own people, if they aren't good at providing the services that people need, such as education and health, and if they don't have a vision of the society that the people support and whose will they have to work for<1.

A vital element for the success of preventing terrorism in fragile countries are internal solutions rather than imposed on the outside, say authors of the report, including former State Secretary Madeleine Albright.

“People need to be motivated to solve their problems and not feel as if they're being told what to do, but to realize they're part of the solution”.

But Mrs. Albright draws attention that the solution would be a combination between internal and outside efforts. It stresses that the role of the United States is important, but support must be provided by other international partners, as long-term solutions require time.

We fought genocide and ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, but didn't stay long enough. It takes time to deal with the issues of government that we're talking about, to find ways not to allow extremist groups to enter a country and confuse things again, once we've dealt with them”.

As authors propose solutions to prevent extremist violence in the future, many countries face the challenge of the consequences of the violence that has occurred, while the fate of foreign fighters recruited by ISIS is being debated. The United States has called for its permission in countries from which they have fled, but many countries have refused.

Kosovo is among the only ones to host 110 people from Syria last week.

Alina Romanowski, the first antiterrorism co-ordinator at the State Department, said in response to a question from the American Voice, that the United States appreciates those countries that find a way to accept these people and support them.

“We have our legal representatives at the embassies, legal advisers in the Balkans who are working directly with governments, as well as training prosecutors and judges, if necessary to prosecute and imprison”.

She adds that the United States works with Kosovo and other countries under the Global Counterterrorism Forum.

So we're not just saying accept foreign fighters and that's it. We are implementing a series of efforts that can help these governments in the countries they accept. But ultimately it's these countries themselves that have to find ways to deraditate and re-integrate foreign fighters who are their citizens”.

This dilemma many countries face today, including the United States, highlights the global challenge of resolving current problems while at the same time preparing to prevent future crises. As former Secret Secretary Albright put it: “the emergency is replaced by”.
