The European Commission has launched negotiations on the involvement of Kosovo and five other Western Balkan countries in the European Union’s scheme, Rolem Like at Home, which enables the use of mobile phones and internet without additional roaming fees.
According to the announcement published on the official European Commission page, Kosovo, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Northern Macedonia and Serbia are involved in this process.
This initiative was warned by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyeen during her visit to the Western Balkans in October 2026.
Through the scheme, Roam Like at Home, citizens travelling between the countries of the European Union and those of the Western Balkans will be able to make phone calls, send messages, and use mobile internet without paying additional fees for roting.
The European Commission has indicated that bilateral negotiations with partner countries have already begun, but implementation of the scheme will not be immediate.
Initially, relevant agreements must be concluded, while Western Balkan countries must fully harmonise their legislation with European Union rules for roting.
Only after meeting these conditions will the European Commission seek approval of the EU Council for the expansion of the Ringing area with the six countries in the region.
Meanwhile, in June 2026, the European Union Council had authorized the launch of negotiations on expanding the scheme.
The agreements will be based on existing Stabilisation and Association Agreements aimed at strengthening stability in the region and advancing the economic integration of Western Balkan countries with the European Union.
