Although Kosovo is not part of the eurozone or the European Union, the euro has been its official currency since its independence. This is more by default than by "consent and choice" established at the international level, given its situation with Serbia and the fact that around thirty countries still do not recognize it as an independent nation. As a result, Kosovo does not issue its own coins or banknotes, and all currency comes from other eurozone members. That said, the country might opt for its own currency, the dardan, in the future.
