How these figures are counted
All figures come from Kosovo Business Registration Agency (ARBK) data that Kerko.com keeps and updates. An active business is one with registered status. New businesses are counted by registration date and closed ones by closing date.
Regions follow Kosovo's seven regions. The current month and year only include the days so far, so the comparison with last year uses the same period. The figures refresh every hour.
