Investigation: Religious Propaganda that Threatens Kosovo

Dangerous content promoting political Islam, religious extremism, 'holy war' or jihad and disobedience towards Kosovo’s constitution, continues to be present on hundreds of websites in the Albanian language. BIRN’s research sheds light on some of the topics touched by this propaganda.
