Our Kosovo office

Luxembourg Cooperation has played an active role in South-Eastern Europe since the end of the Kosovo conflict in 1999. This conflict saw an unprecedented number of refugees in a matter of days, triggering one of the most severe humanitarian crises on the European continent in the recent past. Following these events, a Luxembourg Cooperation office was established in Pristina in October 1999. At first, it focused mainly on returning refugees and humanitarian aid and participated in the extensive international reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts. Luxembourg's presence quickly shifted from humanitarian aid to development cooperation.

In 2024, the bilateral aid implemented through LuxDev focuses on Kosovo's health, governance, vocational training, and civil society sectors. The five projects are currently being implemented by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, the Ministry of Industry and Entrepreneurship and Trade, and the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation.
