Since 2006, WES Group Duty-Free Chain “Wireless PX” has been a key commercial service provider supporting the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR). Through its dedicated exchange (PX) operations, WES Group has played an essential role in sustaining the morale and welfare of military and civilian personnel stationed in Kosovo.

WES Group established its Wireless PX Exchange Services in Pristina, Kosovo, as part of the broader international support infrastructure for peacekeeping operations. The company’s mission has been to deliver reliable, high-quality retail and duty-free services to NATO troops, partner nations, and associated mission staff.

Operating under strict compliance with NATO and host-nation regulations, WES Group ensures seamless logistics, transparent financial operations, and exceptional customer satisfaction. Over nearly two decades, it has earned a strong reputation for consistency, professionalism, and operational excellence in a challenging post-conflict environment.

In addition to daily retail operations, WES Group actively supports welfare programs and community engagement initiatives within KFOR bases. The company’s ongoing commitment demonstrates the importance of private-sector partnerships in sustaining long-term international peacekeeping missions.

NATO Peacekeeping Mission in Kosovo (KFOR)

KFOR was established in 1999 to ensure a safe and secure environment across Kosovo following the conflict in the region. Initially comprising around 50,000 troops from NATO member and partner countries, KFOR has progressively adjusted its force size as stability improved — from 39,000 troops in 2002 to approximately 3,500 today.

The mission operates under NATO’s unified command, in close coordination with:

• The European Union Diplomatic Mission in Kosovo

• United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK)

• Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)

• Various embassies and international agencies

KFOR Headquarters is located in Pristina, Kosovo, serving as the operational center for multinational coordination.

Together with its partners, WES Group continues to contribute to the overall mission success by providing vital support services that enhance living standards, convenience, and morale for those serving in the region.
