Safety in Kosovo depends on the type of danger and the service able to respond. Disaster management covers warnings, rescue, evacuation, shelter and recovery for events such as flash floods, landslides, drought, heavy snow, avalanches and earthquakes. Municipalities and national authorities share responsibilities within Kosovo's disaster-management framework. Crime-related safety includes domestic violence, theft, road safety, narcotics, trafficking, child safety and digital crime. Kosovo Police is the main first contact for immediate danger and criminal reports; police can be reached on 192 or 038 550 999, and cybercrime reports can be submitted online. The free 112 emergency number is suitable when an incident requires coordinated emergency assistance or when the responsible service is not clear. Recorded police figures do not show every offence because some incidents are never reported; Kosovo Police recorded 27,038 criminal offences in 2025. A practical safety response therefore starts by identifying whether the situation requires emergency coordination, police intervention, rescue, medical assistance or a report after the immediate danger has ended.
