Kosovo Public Holiday Observance Rules
1. General Observance
- Public holidays in Kosovo are established by law and published in the official holiday calendar.
- These holidays include national holidays (e.g., Independence Day, Constitution Day) and religious holidays (e.g., Christmas, Eid al-Fitr).
2. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Sunday
- If a public holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed as a public holiday.
- This ensures that employees receive a weekday off in lieu of the holiday.
3. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Saturday
- If a public holiday falls on a Saturday, the following Monday is observed as a public holiday.
- This ensures that employees receive a weekday off when the holiday falls on a weekend.
4. Bridge Holidays (Long Weekends)
- Kosovo does not have an automatic statutory system for creating bridge holidays.
- However, in some cases, the government may declare an additional day off to extend holiday periods.
5. Additional Notes
- Employers must comply with the official holiday calendar published by the Kosovo government.
- Employees required to work on a public holiday are entitled to premium pay or compensatory time off as mandated by Kosovo labor law.
- For the most current and accurate details, always consult the latest official holiday calendar and any government announcements.
