Kosovo
Kosovo is contaminated with anti-personnel mines and cluster munition remnants.
Key Developments
In 2025, Kosovo transitioned to implementing the Mine Action Strategy for 2025–30 it had launched a year before, which targets the completion of all landmine and cluster munition remnants (CMR) clearance by 2030. Clearance output fell in 2025 compared with the previous year and no land was released through survey. Funding cuts, particularly the suspension of United States (US) funding in 2025, led to reduced operational capacity. Kosovo continues to plan for completion of high and medium priority tasks by 2030, while seeking to mobilise international support.
Recommendation for Action
-
While formal accession to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) is not currently possible for Kosovo, as it is not recognised as a State by the depositary, Kosovo should submit a letter to the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General pledging to comply fully, on a voluntary basis, with the CCM and submit annual voluntary Article 7 transparency reports.
