Periskopi is an informative digital platform founded in 2016 in Pristina, Kosovo. According to the founders, its mission is to provide information in various formats, including text and video, and to produce investigative journalism to influence the quality of governance and democracy in Kosovo.

The media outlet has national coverage and offers original information for the Albanian-speaking audience. It stands out for its video podcasts, which analyse the statements and promises of high-level state politicians in Kosovo through a fact-checking process.

As an open platform for debate, Periskopi also publishes analysis and opinions regarding local, regional, and global topics. The team gives importance to social media networks in content distribution; its Facebook page, with 359,000 followers, remains the primary platform after the website.
