On Wednesday, June 24, as reported by the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN), a foreign-funded news agency, the government of Kosovo sent police to raid the offices of five Iranian-controlled non-governmental organizations in the Balkan country.

Kosovo authorities said the five entities are suspected of money laundering and financing terrorism, and that action against them conforms to a state anti-extremist strategy. “The raids are tied to a case that is being investigated . . . , with the goal of preventing and fighting terrorism in the Republic of Kosovo,” an official representative said.
