Ekstremizam i terorizam kao izazovi po bezbjednost EU
Extremism and Terrorism as Challenges for the EU Security

Summary/Abstract: Although there is a wide range of contemporary challenges to security, one of the greatest global threats is terrorist groups from the Middle East. Their activities are based on fundamentalist studies and concepts and the best examples of modern extremism and terrorism are the terrorist group Al-Qaeda (Al Nusra Front, Tahrir al-Sham) and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, whose ideologies are based on individual interpretation and abuse of religion. In addition to the conflict in the Middle East, terrorists have previously performed their activities in Europe, while the executors of terrorist acts were mostly foreign fighters-returnees from conflict zones and supporters of extremist ideologies. Although the security interests of European countries are mainly realized through the NATO alliance, due to the complexity of modern security challenges, a more active role of the EU in counteracting and preventing terrorist threats is necessary.
