IVF laws in Kosovo: age limits, eligibility & donor rules

Kosovo’s enacted reproductive-health framework must be distinguished from proposed assisted-conception reforms. Current IVF age criteria, single-woman and female-couple access need confirmation with a licensed provider. Egg and sperm donation and donor-identity terms must be checked under enacted rules. Foreign patients should obtain written acceptance, consent and screening requirements before arranging treatment.
