” Reconstruction of Syrian returnees remains the main challenge”

People returning to Kosovo from the Middle East wars are facing systematic stigmatisation, and thus have lost confidence in institutions in the country.

That's what he said. Cofounder of the Institute for Security, Integration and Daldikalisation, Arber Vokrri which for Kosovo Press stresses that restoring Syria's returns' trust remains among the main challenges.

The first “Sfida is the loss of trust in local institutions like the state, not government, have lost the credibility of this category of our society because over a long period of time those returning from Syria have faced stigmatisation, often with systematic stigmatisation, and now it is not easy to communicate and obey to co-operate and participate in programs aimed at reintegration in society. Returning trust has been and remains the main challenge”, he said.

Vorri has shown some of the factors that have prompted Kosovo citizens to participate in the Middle East wars.

“One has to do with socio-economic factors, the other group of reasons has to do with the wrong and specific interpretations of religious texts, and the other group of factors has to do with psycho-Social factors. In different persons, one group of these factors may have played a bigger role than the other, but it is usually combined. There are people who say they felt excluded from society”, he said.

During this week the INSID has launched the International Inclusion Group, aimed at offering ideas aimed at combating radicalisation in the world.
