The Government of Kosovo has taken Friday the decision to lift border passing restrictions for its neighboring countries. Through this say-so, the citizens of Albania, Serbia and North Macedonia will be able to enter the territory of Kosovo despite the coronavirus breakout.

The decision in question does not say whether citizens will have to take the Covid test at the border or will have to take the test before entering Kosovo, so a clarification of this issue is expected.
