  • 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.
