A group of 14 young men and women from Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, Romania, Turkey and the Russian Federation came together in Chisinau, Moldova, for a two-day workshop to discuss the threat of violent extremism in the Black Sea region.

The participants collectively formulated recommendations for policy makers, which will be presented to OSCE participating States and Partners for Co-operation at the 2017 OSCE-wide counter-terrorism conference in Vienna, Austria, on 23-24 May 2017. The workshop was convened at the initiative of the Austrian Chairmanship which has identified the prevention of terrorist radicalization as one of its priorities.
