Prevention of Violent Radicalisation and Extremism 2020 : Annual Report

On 19 December 2019, the Government adopted a resolution on the National Action Plan for the Prevention of Violent Radicalisation and Extremism. So far, three action plans have been drawn up (2012, 2016, 2019). The Action Plan is cross-sectoral, and non-governmental organisations, religious communities, young people and researchers were also involved in its preparation and implementation.

The implementation of the Action Plan is coordinated by the Ministry of the Interior and the national cooperation network set up by the Ministry of the Interior.

In line with the government resolution of 19 December 2019, the progress of the implementation and the results of the Action Plan must be reported annually. The annual report for 2020 contains information on how the objectives and measures set out in the Action Plan were implemented in 2020. The information is based on the data produced by the parties involved in the implementation, and the report was finalised by the national cooperation network.

Good progress has been made in the implementation of the Action Plan, and the results can be considered particularly good, especially considering the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the exceptional circumstances caused by it.
