Kosovo’s Minister for Dialogue and chief negotiator, Edita Tahiri, said at the government’s meeting today that the recent telecommunication agreement reached in Brussels with Serbia ends the activity of illegal telephony operators in Kosovo. Tahiri said Austria has already applied on Kosovo’s behalf to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and that the dialing prefix of +383 will be granted to Kosovo on 15 December. She added that the dialing prefix will bring many benefits, the first and foremost being that Kosovo will create a state identity in the field of telecommunication. Furthermore, Kosovo will be in charge of administering the prefix and cooperating directly with ITU.
