Kosovo Boosts Crypto Knowledge with New Workshop
Kosovo is advancing its cryptocurrency financial literacy through a recent workshop, which took place from September 24 to 26.
Organized by the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) in collaboration with the Council of Europe’s Octopus Project, this initiative brought together financial experts, law enforcement, and representatives from the Central Bank of Kosovo.
The workshop focused on enhancing local expertise regarding digital currencies and Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs). A key aim was to equip participants with the skills needed to trace and confiscate illegal cryptocurrency transactions effectively.
Additionally, attendees explored the existing legal frameworks governing digital currencies and improved operational procedures for investigations.

Despite its ongoing legitimacy disputes, Kosovo receives substantial support from the EU and the U.S. The EU has established comprehensive regulations for the crypto sector, with its Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) taking effect in June 2023.
Member states have until 2026 to align their businesses with these laws, with proactive strategies already underway in countries like Ireland and Spain.
