Globally, the topic became relevant after the September 11 attacks in the United States. It was then reported that these attacks were funded by non-profit organizations. The level was then raised and all non-profit organizations were identified as vulnerable.

Meanwhile, international bodies have changed international standards. There has been pressure to control the operations of non-profit organizations… States now have an obligation to identify risks and direct activities in proportion to the limitations of these organizations.

That is why it is very important to strike a balance between the protection of national security and the freedom of citizens to associate in non-profit organizations.

There are no prosecuted cases in our country where non-profit organizations have been used as an instrument for financing terrorism.

The risk of exposure to the influence of non-profit organizations by terrorist organizations in our country is low to medium. The number of suspicious transactions is small. We want to strengthen the resistance of non-profit organizations to any influences.

Non-profit organizations are required by law to disclose transaction transfers and the financing of their activities, says Nikica Kusinikova, Executive Director of "Konekt" for the Morning Briefing.
