The Statistical Agency of Kosovo launched the Communication and Sensitization Campaign for the Registration of Population, Household Economies, and Dwellings (ReKos 2024) in Kosovo.

The population registration process is set to last from April 5 until May 17 of this year.

The Acting Executive Director of the Statistical Agency of Kosovo, Avni Kastrati, at the conference marking the opening of the Campaign for Communication and Sensitization for ReKos 2024, stated that there are less than 27 days left until the start of the population registration.

Furthermore, Kastrati stated that the population registration project is based on the Law on Population Registration and two regulations.

Kastrati said that the questionnaire will be made public soon for all citizens and will be available online to view the questions.

“Two large meetings have been held all week where over 200 institutions or their representatives have been invited. The Statistical Agency has implemented international recommendations and has consistency from the previous registration in 2011 due to the comparability of questions,” he said.

“Three objects will be registered: one is the population, household economies, and all dwellings, houses, and physical objects visible on land.”

Kastrati also emphasized that the population registration will be conducted for those living outside Kosovo, or the diaspora.

He also said that preliminary data will be published only three months after the completion of the registration.

The last population registration in Kosovo was done in 2011, while the registration that was supposed to be conducted in 2021 was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the registration conducted in 2011, the total number of inhabitants in Kosovo is estimated to be around 1.8 million.

However, residents of municipalities with a Serbian majority in northern Kosovo – Leposavic, Zubin Potok, Zvecan, and North Mitrovica – were not included in this registration as they had refused the process at that time.
