Kosovo — Cyber Threat Profile

Kosovo enacted Law No. 08/L-173 on Cyber Security in 2023, establishing a legal mandate for a dedicated Cybersecurity Agency and partially transposing EU frameworks. KOS-CERT is hosted by the Regulatory Authority ARKEP. Kosovo operates a National Cybersecurity Strategy covering 2023 to 2027. In May 2024, Russian-linked actors conducted DDoS attacks against the presidency and prime minister's office websites in retaliation for Kosovo's support of Ukraine, with Prime Minister Kurti explicitly attributing the attacks to Moscow. The country has 95.3% internet penetration, the highest in Europe, creating significant exposure.
