Market context
Kosovo uses the euro (EUR) without being part of the eurozone, and most online shopping happens in Albanian, with Serbian also an official language. Cash on delivery remains the usual way to pay for online orders. There is no working country-code domain: .xk is a user-assigned code that has never been added to the internet's root zone, so Kosovan businesses publish on .com, .net or other domains, and local relevance in search comes from language, content and location rather than a national domain.
Gjirafa runs Gjirafa50 for electronics and GjirafaMall for general goods; GjirafaMall expanded into Albania and North Macedonia in May 2025. Gjirafa's Orange Week online shopping festival is a price event worth tracking. MerrJep is the main classifieds site for cars, property, jobs and household goods, and also operates in Albania and North Macedonia. Wolt launched food delivery in Pristina in January 2025, starting with central neighbourhoods. Telegrafi, Koha, Gazeta Express and Indeksonline are among the news portals selling display advertising.
Google is the main search engine. A large diaspora in Germany and Switzerland shapes demand, with travel and retail peaking in summer when many visit, so fares to Pristina and local prices are worth checking from inside Kosovo as well as from diaspora markets. Personal data falls under Law No. 06/L-082 on Protection of Personal Data, in force since February 2019, which transposes the GDPR and is enforced by the Information and Privacy Agency.
Air fares are a core check for Kosovo because so much of the diaspora travels home by plane. Prishtina International Airport Adem Jashari is served by Wizz Air, easyJet, Eurowings, Swiss and Turkish Airlines, and its main routes run to Basel-Mulhouse, Zurich, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Geneva and Munich. Since 1 January 2024, Kosovo passport holders can visit the Schengen area without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Fares on the same route can differ between a booking made from Kosovo and one made from Switzerland or Germany, and many travellers also compare flights from Skopje and Tirana.
Measured
Measured from our gateway in the Netherlands. Results describe the test, not a reserved exit, city or network. How we measure
In Kosovo: Check placements on Telegrafi, Koha, Gazeta Express and Indeksonline, and confirm that Albanian-language campaigns meant for Kosovo reach Kosovan visitors rather than audiences in Albania or North Macedonia.
Ad verification proxies in KosovoIn Kosovo: Compare prices and stock on Gjirafa50 and GjirafaMall, follow car, property and second-hand prices on MerrJep, and check how summer diaspora demand moves fares to Pristina.
Market research proxiesIn Kosovo: Track Google rankings from Kosovo for Albanian queries, where Kosovan .com sites compete with Albanian .al pages written in the same language.

print(response.json())Both markets shop in Albanian and share some platforms: MerrJep runs classifieds in each, and GjirafaMall expanded from Kosovo into Albania in 2025. The main differences are currency and domains. Kosovo prices in euros and Albania in lek (ALL), and Albanian sites can use the .al domain while Kosovan sites have no national one. Checking from Kosovo shows the euro prices, delivery terms and local ads a Kosovan buyer actually gets.
Google is the search engine to check. Because .xk is not a working domain, Kosovan businesses use .com, .net or regional domains, so Google cannot rely on a country-code domain to identify local sites. Results for Albanian-language queries can therefore mix Kosovan, Albanian and North Macedonian pages. A check from a Kosovan connection shows which sites local searchers actually see, including Gjirafa50, GjirafaMall and MerrJep listings.
Albanian first, since most of the population speaks it and nearly all local shops, classifieds and news portals publish in it. Serbian is also an official language, used by public institutions and in Serb-majority municipalities such as North Mitrovica, Zvečan, Leposavić, Zubin Potok and Gračanica. For localization checks, confirm which language a visitor in Kosovo gets by default, and test Serbian versions where a site targets those municipalities.
