How to read Kosovo's freedom profile

With an overall score of 55.3/100, Kosovo is mixed — genuinely free in some areas and notably restricted in others. It ranks #110 of the 197 countries we track and sits within the Europe region, where it can be compared directly against its neighbours.

Its strongest freedom is Assembly & Association (8.4/10), while Political Participation (3.5/10) is where it scores lowest. That 4.9-point spread means Kosovo's record is uneven, with real gaps between its strongest and weakest freedoms.
