Public spending to the agriculture sector in Kosovo is crucial for farmer’s incomes and significant in volume. Direct payments play a dominant role in overall agriculture support but do little to strengthen competitiveness and improve agricultural productivity.
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a climate policy by the European Union (EU). It aims to prevent carbon leakage – when production moves to countries with weaker climate rules – and to ensure fair competition between EU and non-EU producers. In October 2023, CBAM entered into force in a transitional phase, requiring EU importers to report the embedded emissions in certain goods (iron and steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen, and electricity), without paying charges yet.
Kosovo’s electricity generation has struggled to meet growing demand in recent years. With an operational capacity of 1243 MW, the country relies on electricity imports to cover peak demand, which reached 1472 MW in 2024. As demand continues to rise, this gap is expected to widen. This dependence on imports increases vulnerability to price volatility and potential supply disruptions, impacting both consumers and businesses.

Kosovo’s adoption of Law Nr. 08/L-242 is a progressive step toward energy efficiency and decarbonization in the building sector. However, to fully align with the EU’s evolving regulatory landscape, Kosovo must undertake additional reforms.
The experience at FGCC’24 reaffirmed Kosovo’s potential to transform its cities into models of sustainability and climate resilience. While the insights gained from international experts are invaluable, the next step is implementation.
Kosovo’s high dependence on fossil fuel-based electricity and inefficient energy consumption patterns create significant environmental, financial, and institutional challenges. Public and residential buildings remain a major source of energy waste, largely due to poor thermal insulation, outdated infrastructure, limited awareness, and slow implementation of energy efficiency measures.
