Why a call to Kosovo fails
The 0 is still in the number
The 0 at the start of a Kosovo number is for calls inside the country. From abroad, leave it out: +383 takes its place.
The exit code is wrong for your country
00 works from Kosovo, Europe, and most of the world. From the US and Canada the exit code is 011.
The number does not take calls from abroad
Numbers that start with 0800 often cannot be reached from outside Kosovo. Dial a mobile or fixed line number instead.
