Kosovo is a landlocked territory in the centre of the Balkan Peninsula. It borders Serbia to the north-east, North Macedonia to the south, Albania to the south-west and Montenegro to the north-west. It is a unitary state divided into 38 municipalities for administrative purposes
On 17 February 2008 Kosovo unilaterally declared its independence from Serbia. The insurance market is young and under-developed; until the economy grows and both private individuals and commercial entities have more disposable income to pay for insurance products, the market will continue to be dominated by insurance bought only because some form of compulsion is involved, statutory or contractual.
New solvency margin requirements came into force in 2017.
In 2021 there were 11 non-life and two active life insurance companies in Kosovo, dominated by subsidiaries of foreign insurance groups with about 50% of market premium. The predominant foreign influences are Albanian, Austrian and Slovenian.
