We've had agents recruited to Syria ? ?

The first director of the Kosovar Intelligence Agency, the Smaj Union, has said AKI has been one of the most successful intelligence agencies in the fight against extremism and radicalism.

“Within the framework of strategic national security priorities has been extremism, radicalism and violent forms of any ideology that protect not only Kosovo from these currents that could pose a danger to national security, but also protect the partnership and countries of the region, that we have at one time been designated as a source of terrorism. I think an extraordinary success of AKI is the management we've made with this threat, the way we managed it, and don't forget we came to the beginning of the international anti-terrorism coalition and AKI from 2011 when the conflict in Syria started was one of the services that access had the best in those” groups.

Smaj on a TV show said that as regards Kosovo participation in the war in Syria, Kosovo has been on the same trend as Scandinavian countries.

“There have been different interpretations on this number of participants in fighting in Syria, because when various groups have gone to Syria, to be attached in different forms SIS, Al-Nusra and others, when records have been taken from services of other states and international bodies have been identified on ethnic grounds and often numbers have not corresponded to the situation on the ground, for example, if an Albanian from Switzerland has gone to fight at Allpo and other fronts in Syria when they asked what you are? He has responded that he is Albanian, and the same has figured out a Swiss registry as a fighter I SISI and the same one found in AKI records and they were not different hosts. While we've been cleaning these lists with partner services, we've built an exact mirror. Kosovo resident per capita has been in normal trend with Scandinavian countries”.

We have not distinguished much from the other veines in this direction and the way management is made, is considered by all organisations that it was made by the most successful management in eliminating this national and global security threat. AKI has a particular structure that takes priority in the area of religious extremism, if the threat level has dropped does not mean the level of AKI engagement” has dropped.

Smakaj further said AKI had recruited agents in Syria sending information to this agency.

You cannot operate in management of national risks from abroad unless you have an external source of information. So the strategic priority of every service is to focus on the threat. If the threat is from Alepo, you should focus on getting information from there to prevent the risk of”.
