Nearshore roadmap
Sorthold is currently being incorporated in Kosovo. Additional capacity from Prishtina is planned – same time zone, euro, data protection through EU standard contractual clauses.
Today
- We deliver all services ourselves
- German quality standards: communication in German, development to your guidelines, complete documentation
- Access to your systems exclusively through your access
- On-site appointments without restrictions
Plan, not yet in place
Planned
- Additional capacity from Prishtina for peaks and support
- Access only through your company’s VPN or virtual desktops
- Data protection through EU standard contractual clauses and a data processing agreement
- We will name any new partner to you upfront – nobody works on your system without your consent
Why Kosovo?
Same time zone
CET/CEST, just like Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Euro
The euro is the official currency – no exchange-rate risk.
Short distances
Direct flights of two to three hours from many airports in Germany and Switzerland.
Visa-free
Since 2024 Kosovo citizens travel visa-free to the Schengen area for short stays.
What you should know
- Kosovo is not an EU member. Access to personal data in your systems therefore requires EU standard contractual clauses – they are part of the contract package.
- Productive on-site work in the EU by professionals from non-EU countries follows its own rules. We plan on-site work so that it is legally sound.
- Until the plan is in place, only the “Today” section applies.
