Kosovo To Get New Passports

DOI 01 May 2008

NEW KOSOVA REPORT (SWEDEN)—In July 2008, the Republic of Kosovo will start printing new passports and other personal documents that will replace those that the United Nations Mission In Kosovo (UNMIK) issued during the last nine years. According to Kosovo Interior Minister, Zenun Pajaziti, the documents will have the highest security standards in the region. Since 1999, Kosovo citizens used passports from the former-Yugoslavia, or its two later iterations of Serbia and Montenegro and finally Serbia, as well as travel documents that the UN mission issued. Currently, approximately 40 countries recognize the new Kosovo.
