Currency & Money

Currency information

Euro (€) = 100 cents. Notes are in denominations of €500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10 and 5. Coins are in denominations of €2 and 1, and 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1 cents.

In Serbian enclaves, particularly in the north, the predominant currency is Serbian Dinar (RSD) = 100 paras. Notes are in denominations of RSD5,000, 1,000, 500, 200, 100, 50, 20 and 10. Coins are in denominations of RSD20, 10, 5, 2 and 1.

Credit cards

International credit cards such as Visa and MasterCard are sometimes accepted, but this cannot be relied upon even in cities. Diners Club and American Express are not generally accepted.

Currency restriction

There are no restrictions on the import or export of local or foreign currency. However, amounts exceeding €10,000 or equivalent must be declared.

Currency exchange

As elsewhere in the ex-Yugoslav republics, the most frequently exchanged currencies are the Euro and US Dollar (Pound Sterling is rarely used). Money should be changed through official exchange offices only. ATMs are not hard to find in Pristina, but more difficult (or impossible) in smaller towns and villages.

Visa and passport information is updated regularly and is correct at the time of publishing. You should verify critical travel information independently with the relevant embassy before you travel.
