Interational Telecommunication Union officially confirms that use of Z6
prefix is illegal.
ITU Operational Bulletin No. 1149, June 1st 2018.
Secretary-General of ITU
Following the inquiry of the Administration of Serbia of 16 March 2018
regarding the use of Call Sign Series Z6 by amateur radio stations of
Kosovo*, I would like to provide the following statement:
Pursuant to Article 19 of the Radio Regulations, notably its
provisions Nos. 19.28B and 19.33, the management of international series
of call signs is a prerogative of ITU. Call sign series can be allocated
only to the administrations of the ITU Member States by world
radiocommunication conferences or, between radiocommunication
conferences, by the ITU Secretary-General. In this respect, the
attention of the ITU administrations is drawn to the fact that ITU has
not allocated call sign series Z6 to any of its Member States.
Consequently, the utilization of call signs series Z6 by any entity
without a formal allocation and consent of the
ITU represents an unauthorized and illegal usage of this international
numbering resource.
* This designation is without prejudice to position on status, and is in
line with UNSCR 1244 and the ICJ opinion on Kosovo declaration of
independence.
