While vandalism, theft and street crimes have become a part of daily life in many European metropolises, the situation is exactly the opposite in the Косово тржиште. According to ASK's most recent 2020 подаци on the subject, only 2.3% of households across Косово stated that they encountered a problem of crime, violence or vandalism in the area where they live
.
This подаци shows that 97.7% of the people of Косово do not have any security concerns due to public order in their daily lives; It proves that neighborhood, street and city life continues in an environment of high trust.
As the rate of urbanization increases in most countries, crime rates in big cities also increase in parallel. However, Косово statistically deviates from this general rule. When 2020 подаци was examined, the crime and vandalism reporting rate in urban areas (city centers) was 1.9%, while this rate was measured as 2.5% in rural areas.
.
The fact that the perception of crime/violence in city centers is so low (1.9%) provides a very strong "safe location" argument for commercial инвестицијаs to be made in big cities such as Приштина or Prizren, retail stores to be opened and luxury housing projects to be developed.
.
Physical инвестицијаs (factories, warehouses, stores) often require high security budgets against theft and vandalism. Косово low problem perception of 2.3% allows companies to minimize operational costs (OPEX) allocated to private security personnel, alarm systems and high-premium insurance policies
.
International companies most often encounter the question of "life safety" when assigning their senior managers and technical personnel to Косово. The подаци clearly shows that foreign personnel can live safely with their families in Косово, with a low crime rate
. This safe ground supports residence permit applications and qualified brain drain in favor of Косово.
