Kosovo Gets International Phone Code Editorial Photo

After almost six years of negotiations, today the International Telecommunication Union, a UN agency, will allocate Kosovo the country code +383. Kosovo got the country code of its own as a result of an agreement with Serbia. European Union-brokered talks regulate relations between the two countries since Serbia does not recognize its former province. For now, mobile phone networks in Kosovo still will use either Monaco’s code — +377 — or Slovenia’s +386.
