Private-label gummy launch — Kosovo
Market snapshot

Kosovo’s capital and largest commercial city is Pristina, serving a population of approximately 1.76 million. The supplement industry signal is Farmaci pharmacy retail combined with Albanian-language labelling requirements; not all EU member states recognise Kosovo, so shipping markets are reviewed per project. Key cities include Pristina, Prizren, Gjakova, and Mitrovica.

Regulatory framework

The regulatory authority is the Food and Veterinary Agency (AUV / Agjencia e Ushqimit dhe Veterinarisë). The notification path is AUV notification, with recognition varying by EU member state. The brand owner files the notification; DAT supplies a documentation pack including formulation details, ingredient specifications, and Certificate of Analysis. All regulatory requirements are reviewed per project against the Kosovo framework.
