Hi Roger,
"Common EU SIM card (like "Three" from UK) cannot be used in Kosovo by roaming."
This is not correct. We use the same SIM cards and there are roaming agreements with plenty of European carriers. It looks kinda expensive for UK carriers to roam in Kosovo though.
For a few euros you can buy a local card with VALA or IPKO at the airport, downtown of any town and probably at ITP campus as well.

Dear Debconf list,
To prepare for the upcoming trip, I want to know the status for data
SIM for Kosovo.
The following is what I got to know from a few sites. Hope local
people can double check.
Thank you!

So we need to purchase a local SIM card, to get connected out of DebConf venue.
Local Carrier: Vala or IPKO
UMTS (3G): Band 8: 900MHz (for both carriers), and maybe also Band 1:
2.1GHz for IPKO
LTE (4G FDD): Band 3: 1.8GHz
Place to buy prepaid SIM: airport shop or .. (better to have more
detail info from local team)
