Serbia

The EU delegation in Kosovo and the US Embassy in Serbia have raised concerns regarding Kosovo’s decision to enforce the Euro as the sole legal tender from Feb 1. EU officials are apprehensive about the short timeline for implementation, while the US State Department has urged the Kosovo government to reconsider the decision, citing potential adverse effects on the ethnic Serb community. In northern Kosovo, where Serb-majority communities predominantly use the RSD for daily transactions and social transfers, this change may lead to issues.
