The cash operations kept being executed through modern processing equipment and in<br />

compliance with standard rules. All the cash received by commercial banks and other<br />

institutions are processed and classified in accordance to the extent of their age. During the<br />

year, around 3.2 million euro banknotes (25 percent of deposited euro banknotes number)<br />

were classified as outdated and were excluded from the circulation by being remitted<br />

towards the central Euro-zone banks. Such capacity of considerable outdated euro<br />

banknotes excluded from circulation has evidently contributed to the improvement of the<br />

quality of cash in circulation in the Republic of Kosovo. Banknotes that mainly were<br />

classified as highly outdated and were excluded from circulation were those of<br />

denominations 20, 10 and 5 euro, due to their higher circulation in the economy.<br />

The quality of cash in circulation was also improved through the supply of banks and other<br />

institutions with completely new euro banknotes, which were brought from Euro-zone.<br />

During <strong>2010</strong>, CBK supplied the banking sector with over 2 million pieces of new euro<br />

banknotes (25 percent of the overall number of euro banknotes supplied). Most of the new<br />

banknotes supplied were those of low denominations (20, 10 and 5 euro), and mainly<br />

commercial banks were supplied with them aiming at equipping their ATM machines. In<br />

addition, all the used euro banknotes that were supplied were of the highest standard<br />

quality (proper quality for ATMs).<br />
