strengthen institutional capacity, to increase security, and to minimize the vulnerability of the
computer network in Kosovo. In this respect, the lack of strategy and mechanisms for cyber

rorism. Given this, it is strongly recommended that the National Strategy for Cyber Defence
be drafted and approved, in order to strengthen efficiency in the fight against cyber terrorism.
