What you need, by where you are coming from
- Arriving from the United States or CanadaA plug adapter, and appliances marked 100-240 V. Anything single-voltage needs a converter.
- Arriving from the UK or IrelandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
- Arriving from most of continental EuropePlugs go straight in and the voltage matches. Nothing to pack.
- Arriving from Australia or New ZealandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
Socket types, voltage and frequency are the nominal domestic supply as published in IEC/TR 60083 and the national standards it lists.
Kosovar sockets are Type Schuko at 230 V, matching the neighbouring Balkan countries.
Sockets in Kosovo are Type and at 230 V, 50 Hz - the round Schuko outlet used across the region.
- A Europlug fits every socket in the country.
- Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro all match.
- British, American and Australian plugs need an adapter.
- The supply has improved but still dips under evening load in smaller towns, and older buildings are wired unearthed.
- 230 V, so only American 120 V-only appliances need a converter.
- A Europlug is all most travellers need - phone, laptop and camera chargers all end in one and none of them wants an earth.
- Type is the earthed version of the same outlet, with clips on the rim rather than a third hole.
