As of yesterday, the euro is the only currency for transactions in Kosovo. The transitional period of the Central Bank of Kosovo has ended.
Starting today, according to the Regulation, there will be punitive measures for those who use the dinar.
Commercial banks operating in Kosovo, meanwhile, have been instructed to open new branches in the north.
The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has spoken about the CBK regulation for the use of cash.
“The Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo has clarified that the goal is legality, transparency and not punishment and punishment. They are the ones who are higher than before us and lead in this process of transition as smooth as possible to the transition as a means of payment”, said Kurti in a statement to RTK, from Kamenica where he is visiting this municipality.
Kurti repeated that the CBK regulation is not against the dinar, but is for the euro as the only means of payment in Kosovo.
