Kosovo eSIM<\/a> with five packages: 1 GB over seven days for \u20ac6.90, 3 GB over 15 days for \u20ac15.90, 5 GB over 30 days for \u20ac24.90, 10 GB for \u20ac41.90 and 20 GB over 30 days for \u20ac80.90. Airalo has a Kosovo eSIM under the name Plisi, from \u20ac4.50 for 1 GB over three days up to \u20ac43.50 for 20 GB over 30 days, though without an unlimited option. Holafly lists Kosovo individually from $20.90 for three days; its German site, though, showed “This destination is currently unavailable” when we checked on September 5, 2026.<\/p>\nA word on price, because otherwise the comparison looks skewed: Kosovo is significantly more expensive at wholesale than its neighbors. That’s why 1 GB there costs \u20ac6.90 instead of \u20ac2.90 as in Albania or Serbia. If you need a lot of data and are optimizing for price per gigabyte, Airalo’s 20 GB package at \u20ac43.50 in Kosovo beats our \u20ac80.90. If you need little, or you’re visiting several Balkan countries anyway, the small package suits you fine.<\/p>\n
The rule for buying stays the same: read the country list before booking a regional package. Kosovo is almost never included, and its name is often missing from search filters too.<\/p>\n
Which Network in Which Country<\/h2>\n
One point that gets lost in price comparisons matters more on the ground than price: Bosnia and Herzegovina has no commercial 5G<\/strong>. Regulator RAK still hasn’t issued any licenses; according to the head of BH Telecom, that’s not expected before the end of 2026. If you see a 5G promise there, ignore it \u2014 nobody can deliver on it.<\/p>\nIn Serbia, by contrast, 5G has been live at all three operators simultaneously since December 3, 2025, following an auction in November 2025. North Macedonia is furthest along: Makedonski Telekom reports 97% population coverage. In Montenegro, 5G runs commercially with a requirement to reach half the population by the end of 2026. In Albania, 5G is largely limited to Tirana and parts of Durr\u00ebs.<\/p>\n
For the mountains, something other than 5G matters. In the Albanian Alps around Theth and Valbona, Vodafone Albania is considered noticeably more reliable than its competitors. In Georgia, Magti is often the only network with signal in Svaneti, Kazbegi and toward Tusheti; Tusheti is essentially offline. Download maps before you head into the mountains \u2014 no provider promises that.<\/p>\n
Registration: The Underrated Advantage<\/h2>\n
North Macedonia legally requires SIM card registration; Montenegro, Albania, Serbia and Georgia require your passport at purchase. For a local prepaid SIM, that means finding a store, showing ID, and filling out a form \u2014 often simply not possible on a Sunday or after landing at 11 p.m.<\/p>\n
An eSIM sidesteps this step entirely. You install it at home before departure, and it activates the first time your device connects. None of the seven countries require IMEI registration like Turkey does, by the way \u2014 that’s the difference worth knowing on a Balkan road trip with a Turkey side trip.<\/p>\n

Network details are examples; the partner networks actually used are shown after purchase in the eSIM link under “Networks” and can change at short notice. Unlimited Smart means 1 GB of high-speed data per 24 hours, Unlimited L 2 GB, Unlimited XL 3 GB \u2014 after that the connection continues uninterrupted at 1 Mbit\/s, with the allowance resetting every 24 hours.<\/small><\/p>\n For Kosovo, there are five data-allowance packages: 1 GB over seven days for \u20ac6.90, 3 GB over 15 days for \u20ac15.90, 5 GB over 30 days for \u20ac24.90, 10 GB for \u20ac41.90 and 20 GB for \u20ac80.90. Kosovo is significantly more expensive at wholesale than its neighbors \u2014 which is why its entry price is \u20ac6.90 instead of \u20ac2.90.<\/p>\n For Albania, there’s currently no unlimited package, only data-allowance plans from 1 GB over seven days for \u20ac2.90 up to 20 GB over 30 days for \u20ac20.90. If you need a lot of data in Albania, compare these 20 GB against Airalo’s Unlimited at \u20ac87.00 for 30 days and work out your own usage.<\/p>\n What “Unlimited” Actually Means, Provider by Provider<\/h2>\nAiralo states its cap: 3 GB per day at full speed, then unlimited at 1 Mbit\/s, resetting every 24 hours. That’s not stated on the product pages, though, but on a general fair-use page.<\/p>\n Holafly doesn’t state its cap. Its terms don’t give a number, only that network operators may impose restrictions if usage is “excessive”; the product pages say a restriction will be applied for at most one day. Figures of two to three gigabytes a day circulating online come from third-party reviews, not from Holafly.<\/p>\n POVNOMAD states both figures directly on the plan: the daily high-speed allowance and the speed afterward. Of the three providers, none sells unlimited data without throttling.<\/p>\n Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n Does EU roaming apply in the Balkans?<\/h3>\nNo. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo all sit outside the EU Roaming Regulation, and so does Georgia. Since January 1, 2026, a voluntary price cap of \u20ac14 per gigabyte has applied between the EU and the Western Balkans, though it only applies to at least one tariff per provider, not all of them. The Council of the EU approved negotiations on extending “roam like at home” to the six Western Balkan states on June 4, 2026; no date has been set for it to take effect. As of September 5, 2026.<\/p>\n Is Kosovo included in Balkan eSIM packages?<\/h3>\nUsually not. Airalo’s Europe plan Eurolink doesn’t include Kosovo, Holafly’s Balkans package covers only Albania, Bosnia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia, and even Holafly’s 33-country Europe package leaves Kosovo out. POVNOMAD, Airalo and Holafly each offer Kosovo as its own country product \u2014 at POVNOMAD, from \u20ac6.90 for 1 GB. Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and o2 do cover Kosovo in their roaming packages. The reason it’s missing from regional plans is the lack of an official ISO country code, not a roaming barrier: Kosovo has the dialing code +383, mobile country code MCC 221, and is a full member of the Western Balkans roaming agreement. Check your package’s country list before buying. As of September 5, 2026.<\/p>\n What does a Balkan eSIM with unlimited data cost?<\/h3>\nFor seven days with 3 GB of high-speed data per day, POVNOMAD Unlimited XL costs \u20ac16.90 in Montenegro and \u20ac19.90 in Serbia; Airalo charges \u20ac30.00 for either country. In North Macedonia, Airalo comes in at \u20ac24.50, ahead of POVNOMAD’s Unlimited L at \u20ac24.90 for 2 GB a day. Holafly’s prices are in dollars and range from $27.50 to $36.50 for seven days. For Albania, POVNOMAD offers no unlimited plan, only data-allowance plans up to 20 GB over 30 days for \u20ac20.90. As of September 5, 2026.<\/p>\n Does Bosnia and Herzegovina have 5G?<\/h3>\nNo. Regulator RAK still hasn’t issued any 5G licenses, and according to the head of BH Telecom, that’s not expected before the end of 2026. Bosnia is the only country in the region without commercial 5G. The 4G network covers around 94% of the population. In Serbia, 5G has been live at all three operators since December 3, 2025, and North Macedonia reports 97% population coverage.<\/p>\n Do I need my passport for a SIM card in the Balkans?<\/h3>\nFor local prepaid SIM cards, yes: North Macedonia legally requires registration, and Montenegro, Albania, Serbia and Georgia require ID at purchase. An eSIM sidesteps this step, since you install it before departure. None of these countries require IMEI registration like Turkey does.<\/p>\n Can I use a Serbian SIM card in Bosnia?<\/h3>\nYes, without surcharge. The six Western Balkan states have had “roam like at home” among themselves since July 1, 2021, under an agreement signed in Belgrade in 2019. A local SIM from any of these countries works at the domestic rate in the other five \u2014 but not in the EU. The reverse also applies: your German plan won’t give you any free allowance there.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No EU roaming applies to the Balkans. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo all sit outside “roam like at home,” and your German home data allowance doesn’t count there. Since January 1, 2026, there’s been a voluntary price cap of \u20ac14 per gigabyte \u2014 but it only kicks in if you actively book the right tariff. If you don’t book anything, o2 charges its standard World Zone 3 price of \u20ac0.99 per megabyte, roughly \u20ac1,014 for a gigabyte. The Comparison at a Glance Unlimited plans for seven days, each at the tier with 3 GB of high-speed data per day, where available: Country POVNOMAD Airalo Holafly Montenegro \u20ac16.90 (Unlimited XL) \u20ac30.00 $33.90 Serbia \u20ac19.90 (Unlimited XL) \u20ac30.00 $33.90 Bosnia and Herzegovina \u20ac15.90 (Unlimited Smart) \u2014 $27.50 North Macedonia \u20ac24.90 (Unlimited L) \u20ac24.50 $27.50 Georgia \u20ac16.90 (Unlimited XL) no unlimited $27.50 Albania no unlimited \u20ac31.50 $36.50 Kosovo no unlimited5 data-allowance packages no unlimited $36.90 All prices as of September 5, 2026, collected on povnomad.com, airalo.com (EUR view from Germany) and esim.holafly.com (USD). Holafly prices are dollar prices and haven’t been converted \u2014 Holafly’s German site sometimes shows different euro amounts, so check them directly on esim.holafly.com\/de. “\u2014” means: the provider shows no list price for this term. The tiers are only partially comparable: POVNOMAD Unlimited XL and Airalo Unlimited both deliver 3 GB of high-speed data per day, POVNOMAD Unlimited Smart 1 GB and Unlimited L 2 GB. Prices are subject to change. Two things stand out. For Montenegro and Serbia, the same allowance \u2014 3 GB of high-speed data per day over a week \u2014 costs \u20ac16.90 and \u20ac19.90 respectively at POVNOMAD, versus \u20ac30.00 at Airalo for either. For North Macedonia, though, Airalo comes out ahead with \u20ac24.50 for 3 GB a day, versus POVNOMAD’s Unlimited L tariff, which delivers only 2 GB a day for \u20ac24.90. If you upload a lot there, you’re better off with Airalo. What the EU-Western Balkans Agreement Actually Covers This is where a lot of guides get it wrong. There are two separate arrangements, and neither of them is EU roaming. First, the regional agreement among the six Western Balkan states themselves, signed in Belgrade in 2019 and in force since July 1, 2021. It creates “roam like at home” between Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia. A local SIM from Belgrade works without surcharge in Sarajevo \u2014 but not in Germany. That’s the exact mirror image of the EU rule, and a common point of confusion. Second, the declaration from the EU-Western Balkans summit in Tirana on December 6, 2022. Around 38 mobile operators voluntarily committed to lowering data prices between the EU and the Western Balkans: \u20ac18 per gigabyte from October 2023, \u20ac14 since January 1, 2026, and \u20ac9 from January 1, 2028. The wording is narrow. What’s required is that the price per gigabyte falls below the cap in at least one product that each signatory offers to the broadest group of consumers \u2014 so one tariff, not all of them. Deutsche Telekom is a confirmed signatory. We couldn’t verify a signature from Vodafone Group or Telef\u00f3nica. On June 4, 2026, the Council of the EU authorized the Commission to negotiate with all six Western Balkan states on extending “roam like at home.” No date has been set for it to take effect. For comparison: for Ukraine and Moldova, around 18 months passed between the mandate and entry into force. For the Balkans, that puts it at 2027 or 2028 at the earliest. Until then: none of these countries have EU roaming. Georgia falls outside both arrangements. It’s not part of the Western Balkans and isn’t included in the EU roaming zone. There’s no price cap there at all. Georgia is thus the most expensive of the seven countries when it comes to roaming. What Your German Contract Costs Deutsche Telekom places all seven countries in country group 2. Without a booked data pass, no data use is possible there at all \u2014 that protects you from a surprise bill, but leaves you without a network. Travel & Surf starts at \u20ac5.95 for 1 GB over two days, with \u20ac15.95 for 14 days. Since February 4, 2026, MagentaMobil plans also include an annual roaming allowance for country groups 2 and 3: 2 GB on XS, 4 GB on S, 10 GB on M, 25 GB on L and 50 GB on XL. If you have a large MagentaMobil plan and travel rarely, you may not need anything extra for a week in Montenegro. Vodafone covers all seven countries with WorldTravel: \u20ac4.99 a month for 2 GB, with a twelve-month minimum term, then throttled to 5 kbit\/s. The World Travel Pack costs \u20ac9.99 for 500 MB a day or \u20ac34.99 for 4 GB a week. o2 assigns these countries to World Zone 3; Roaming Plus World costs \u20ac14.99 a month, and according to o2’s product page it currently comes with 4 GB as a promotion instead of the usual 2 GB. Against Vodafone’s 2 GB for \u20ac4.99 a month stands POVNOMAD’s 3 GB over 15 days for \u20ac4.90 in Serbia or Montenegro. The real difference isn’t so much the price as the commitment: you book the eSIM for the trip, WorldTravel for a year. The Kosovo Gap If you’re looking at a Balkan package, there’s one thing to check before you buy: whether Kosovo is included. Usually, it isn’t. Offer Kosovo Included? Airalo Eurolink (Europe regional plan) no Holafly Balkans package (5 countries) no Holafly Europe package (33 countries) no Deutsche Telekom country group 2 yes Vodafone WorldTravel yes o2 World Zone 3 yes Retrieved September 5, 2026.

Holafly coverage per esim.holafly.com\/esim-balkans and the German-language Europe page. The reason is technical, not political. Kosovo has no official ISO 3166 country code.
