CEO

Bekim Kastrati

As CEO of the British Chamber of Commerce in Kosovo (BCCK), I am privileged to lead an organization committed to fostering robust economic ties between the United Kingdom and Kosovo. Our mission aligns with the UK's vision for Global Britain, aiming to establish Kosovo as a strategic hub for British business in the Balkans. We focus on facilitating trade, encouraging investment, and supporting sustainable growth through initiatives like our "Green Future" program, which promotes eco-conscious transformation across sectors. By connecting businesses to a dynamic network and providing tailored services, we empower our members to thrive in a global economy.

Supported by specialized Committees within the Chamber, we bring together experts from various fields to drive impactful change. These Committees play a crucial role in identifying and addressing barriers to trade, exploring new areas of cooperation, and promoting our members' interests. Together, we work towards achieving our goals of growth, cooperation, and commercial success—locally, regionally, and globally.

Committees

At BCCK, our Committees are central to advancing our mission. Comprising dedicated members with expertise across various sectors, they play a pivotal role in shaping our initiatives and strategies. Each Committee focuses on broader areas, providing strategic direction and oversight to ensure alignment with our goals.

Sub-Committees

Our Sub-Committees are specialized groups within the broader Committees, focusing on specific tasks or areas of interest. They conduct in-depth work, gather insights, and make recommendations to the parent Committees, enabling us to address complex matters effectively and efficiently.

Events

At BCCK, we offer a diverse range of events and services designed to empower our members and strengthen business ties between the UK and Kosovo. These initiatives foster collaboration, provide valuable insights, and support professional growth, ensuring our members are well-equipped to navigate and succeed in the global marketplace. Additionally, we maintain strong relationships with government bodies in both Kosovo and the UK to ensure member interests are represented.

Social Events

Our social events are thoughtfully curated to meet the demands of modern, dynamic lifestyles. One stream offers light physical activity paired with relaxed networking, embodying the timeless ethos “mens sana in corpore sano” — a healthy mind in a healthy body. The other features casual thematic evening gatherings, where members connect over industry conversation, refreshments, and music—no rigid protocol, just open dialogue and community building.

These events are designed not only to invigorate and inspire, but also to foster genuine professional relationships and personal well‑being.
