Supported by The Counter Extremism Project (CEP), GLOBSEC has begun mapping the efforts of one of the best-known political Islam movements, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), in a selection of countries. Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, North Macedonia, Poland and Serbia were chosen by multiple criteria outlined in the project‘s first report. The Visegrad members and Serbia have been covered in the second report. This final report focuses on the remaining two countries and was driven by the following questions: In what communities is the Muslim Brotherhood active? What organisations represent it? What access to the governments does it have? Or how do its organisations cooperate on the national and regional level?
Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.
