Key legal question
Whether a Kosovo national residing in Kosovo was entitled to an AHV old-age pension after 1 April 2010.
Extracted holding
No entitlement existed because the social security agreement with the former Yugoslavia was no longer applicable to Kosovo and the pension event occurred after that date.
Extracted reasoning
The respondent reached retirement age on 18 January 2012, when the agreement was no longer applicable. Under Art. 18 AHVG, foreigners without Swiss citizenship need residence in Switzerland, subject only to applicable international agreements. The court followed its case law that the Kosovo situation no longer fell under the agreement.
