The price for slaughtering a sacrificial animal in Kosovo has increased this year, reaching 200 euros, compared to 180 euros in 2025.
The Islamic Community of Kosovo has published the "Qurbani 2026" campaign, where it has announced that the price for a qurban has been set at 200 euros. In the promotional material published by the "Alauddin" Secondary Madrasah in Pristina, it is emphasized that the funds will be dedicated to families in need, with the motto: "Be part of the sacrifice! Your kindness, hope for them."
On the other hand, the organization "Islamic Relief Kosovo", which also organizes the slaughter of the sacrificial animal according to the highest hygienic standards and conditions, claiming that it does so while respecting all religious provisions, has announced the same price.
According to the organization's announcement, the price for a share in the cow is also 200 euros, while it is said that the sacrificial meat will be distributed to orphans and families in difficult living conditions.
"In the meantime, you can take a portion of the meat and enjoy it with your relatives," the announcement from "Islamic Relief Kosovo" states.
BIK has announced that payments for the qurbans can be made at the Islamic Community councils in the municipalities, as well as through bank accounts published by the organizers.
The 20 euro price increase comes at a time when the livestock market and food product costs have increased compared to previous years.
The Islamic religion strongly recommends the slaughter of Qurbani, almost to the point of being obligatory, for all those who are able to do so. Otherwise, Qurbani, according to religious literature, is considered an act of charity and spiritual closeness to God, while special emphasis is placed on helping the poor and distributing meat to those who are less able to buy and consume it./Telegraph
