Following the aftermath of the war in Kosovo in 1999, the international community embarked on the monumental task of rebuilding Kosovo as a nation and establishing key financial infrastructures. In line with these efforts, the Kosovo Business Register was developed, drawing inspiration from the successful implementation of the Macedonian Business Register.

Aside from a new IT system with procedures and organizational resources. the project included transfer of registrations to the new business register, a process that encompassed approximately 120,000 business registrations. This comprehensive endeavor paved the way for the opening of the register in spring 2003, signifying a significant step forward in promoting a transparent and organized business environment in Kosovo.
