    I’m just creating an onlne shop using WordPress and Woocommerce, so there is a woocommerce setup wizard its fine.

    In the countries dropdown list, Kosovo looks like a part of Serbia which does not correspond to reality because Kosovo uses Euro and there are different taxes etc.

    If the Woocommerce Dev is a Serbian I can understand the non-acceptance of Kosovo in the woocommerce states list but this is wrong since you are a professionals.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    I understand your concern regarding Kosovo appearing as part of Serbia in the WooCommerce countries list. WooCommerce relies on the ISO 3166-1 standard for country codes, which is a widely recognized international standard. While Kosovo is recognized as an independent country by many nations, it is not currently listed as a separate country in the official ISO standard, and that may be why it appears as part of Serbia in WooCommerce’s dropdown list.

    Additionally, I see that many users have already submitted a feature request regarding this issue: GitHub Feature Request. Hopefully, this feature will be added in a future release.

    Thanks for clarifying. I’m from Tirana / Albania, just doing a woocommerce website for a friend from Kosovo. While reading your comment I was also configuring my new Iphone and in the countries list of apple I saw Kosovo just as KOSOVO which made me so happy.

    Since you have a nice friendly Setup Wizard for users which is a fantastic Idea but in the final it forces Kosovo to use Serbian Dinar RDS in Woo Shop, it must be euro.

    I hope you find an easy way to add any optional solution.

    Maybe Translation in Albanian Language files can resolve the name for us I have to contact to translators too.

    Thank you so much for your reply.
