   IT IS A PIRACY
   ——————————-

   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.
