Between August 2018 and June 2022, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and North Macedonia have publicly and voluntarily repatriated at least 217 Islamic State-affiliated individuals previously detained by Kurdish-led forces in Syria. Of those repatriated, 132 were minors and 54 were women.
A total of 31 Islamic State-affiliated male individuals were repatriated and put on trial.
Court documents in various cases confirm that in joining the Islamic State these foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) acted with premeditation and as part of a group of likeminded individuals, or in coordination with jihadist networks operating between the Western Balkans andSyria, sometimes linked to elements of the Western Balkans diaspora in Europe.
The convictions handed down by the courts continue to border on the minimum prison term provided for in the criminal codes and are significantly lower than the average prison term in the EU.
Most repatriated FTFs are set to be released from prison between 2023 and 2025.
