Kosovo's championship system is administered by the Kosovo Kennel Club (FKK), an FCI partner organization. The system in Kosovo is very similar to North Macedonia and Albania, making it a popular destination for international exhibitors looking to complete titles quickly. They are known for recognizing championships from almost all countries worldwide. Always confirm current conditions directly with the organizers before applying.

IMPORTANT POLITICAL NOTE: Although Kosovo (FKK) cooperates with the FCI, some countries (e.g., Serbia or Spain) may have political issues recognizing their documents. Always check with your home national kennel club (e.g., SKJ in Slovakia) to ensure they will record a Kosovo title in your dog's pedigree.
