Mission organises workshop for OSCE regional VERLT focal points

Summary

As part of its efforts to tackle Violent extremism and radicalisation leading to terrorism (VERLT), on 17 January, the Mission organized the second meeting of OSCE VERLT focal points from field operations in South-Eastern Europe and the OSCE Secretariat to discuss regional co-operation in this area. Fifteen participants, including eleven women, presented their planned activities for 2019 and discussed factors, which could either encourage or deter individuals from using VERLT referral mechanisms. All participants agreed that the opportunity to discuss the regional context and VERLT issues in-depth was a useful component of these informal consultations.
