This paper aims to analyze the impact of the types of innovations in increasing the sales of Kosovo's enterprises. The findings of this paper confirm the hypotheses that organizational innovations, product/process innovations and marketing innovations have a positive impact on increasing the level of sales. This empirical research was conducted with enterprises in Kosovo, so the main limitation of this research is the non-inclusion of enterprises of Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc. The involvement of enterprises from these countries would provide a broader picture of the research issues for transition countries. This empirical research is of particular importance because it studies the impact of types of innovation on increasing the sales level of enterprises in transition countries. Kosovo suffer from weak enterprises sector and underdeveloped entrepreneurship sector. Without the development of an innovative system of the private sector and the entrepreneurial sector, Kosovo cannot overcome the transition process. Therefore, this paper could be a reference point for the government policies of Kosovo, which should support all enterprises in the development of all types of innovations.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Kosovo. So, this is a research problem. Our research is based on Ramaj et al.’s (2022) research. The research was conducted with 84 SMEs in Pristina and Fushë Kosovë, with the major part in the capital. Consequently, the Government of Kosovo should pay attention to the design of oriented policies and promote SMEs’ development. It still has to make efforts to create a more favorable business climate, for business development as a whole and SMEs, especially in this extremely difficult period at the time of COVID-19. Given that it is the last 2 years since the outbreak of the pandemic has had a great economic impact on the country, thus we have approached the research on this topic and through it, we will try to give this research a clear overview of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Kosovo. Our findings will help us to see the main challenges that SMEs have during the pandemic times. Our results confirm that COVID-19 in Kosovo affects not only the health of the population but also hits the economy.

In addition to being fatal to the lives of thousands of people, coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was also fatal for corporations, businesses, and the entire global economy. COVID-19 is a pandemic with a contagious medical character, and it can even be fatal for the infected person who may have severe blockage of the respiratory system. From its origin, this virus spread across the globe, infecting hundreds of people of various ages and nationalities. For future occurrences to be understood, mathematical or statistical models with the fewest errors are required. This research is based on the studies of Sahai et al. (2020) and Ribeiro et al. (2020). In this study, the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model is used to forecast the monthly consumer price index (CPI) in Kosovo. Furthermore, ARIMA (3, 1, 2) projections revealed the potential values for monthly CPI are expected to be on the rise with related implications for Kosovo. The study suggested introducing health, political and economic policies, such as a secure political climate, incentives for indigenous industries, economic diversification, and development of healthcare facilities throughout the world. The relevance of this research lies in the mathematical treatment of this problem which has never been treated in the Kosovar environment.
