Sažetak

Hybrid threats are increasingly replacing conventional threats in the global security environment. In recent decades, the world has been increasingly challenged by these threats. Kosovo is exposed to hybrid risks as from its northern neighbor Serbia as well as other global actors, such as; various extremist and terrorist organizations. Delays in the consolidation of the Kosovo Armed Forces, the lack of full control of the territory, the initial stage of development in which is currently the Kosovo Intelligence Agency (KIA) and many other problems make Kosovo relatively vulnerable to this risk. This paper aims to analyze and describe hybrid threats based on NATO and especially on the United States military doctrine, the case studies of Ukraine and Georgia, the origins of these risks for Kosovo and the current capabilities of the Republic of Kosovo. Moreover, through analyze this paper identifies the needs that Kosovo should fulfill in order to face effectively with this types of threats as well as means and methods which institutions in Kosovo should use to deal with these threats. Dealing with hybrid threats requires good consolidated security and defense institutions, full control of the territory and continuous and consolidated cooperation with partner countries and international organizations.
