Kosovo Prime Minister, Hashim Thaci, said today that the Republic of Kosovo has received its international codes SWIFT and IBAN. The two codes enable easier and quicker transfer of funds, greater transparency and also provide opportunities to combat money laundering. “This is a joint result by the Central Bank, Kosovo’s commercial banks but also our friends from partner countries that have lobbied for Kosovo to have its own independent banking system,” Thaci writes on his Facebook account.
