shqiptarëtKosovo in numbers
Checked figures from ASK, the World Bank and other official sources — with the year and the source link.
How we count
Every figure links to an official or international source, the reference year and the date we checked it. If a figure cannot be verified, we leave it out.
We do not use live counters. Census population is the usually resident population. For GDP and remittances we use World Bank series (current US dollars). Tourism: for Albania — foreign citizen border arrivals (INSTAT); for Kosovo — foreign visitors in accommodation (ASK).

ASK figure for foreign visitors in accommodation establishments — not border crossings.
Kosovo uses the euro; it does not issue its own currency.
What we left out
- Diaspora estimate — We did not find a diaspora headcount published by ASK or another official Kosovo body; media figures are not enough.
- Border-crossing tourism arrivals — For tourism we used foreign accommodation visitors from ASK data. Border-crossing totals (~7m) appeared in media; we did not tie them to a verified ASK release in this pass.
