Kosovo BKPR Express

Serbian CAA tried to deny my flight to Pristina saying that VFR was prohibited under FL205 in Kosovo airspace.
This was not consistent with NATO specifications which in the meantime had authorized my flight….

For anyone interested I have created the following SkyDemon files for the missing data from Kosovo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ey6pf5ifuhoqqa8/Kosovo%20SkyDemon.zip?dl=0

It can be extracted in C:\…\Documents\SkyDemon\CustomData

The source of data is the KFOR document that can be found on Eurocontrol EAD.

Nuccio,molto piacevole e interessante tuo video,complimenti.

That identifyer changed years ago! I believe it did when Pristina was reopened after the Kosovo conflict, it was run by Islandic ATCO’s, therefore the “B” identifyer instead of “L” it actually should be. Serbia never reckognized this so the LYPR identifyer is still around but for all practical purposes BKPR has been used since probably 2004 or so.

There are no unused second letter(s) available in the “L” series so they had to use a different first letter. The reason for picking “B” might be what you say.

Speaking of which, I don’t understand why both Israel and Palestine have location indicators in the “L” series (LL and LV) rather than the “O” (Middle East) series.

Are VFR flights over Kosovo still denied?
