English translation:Telekomi i Kosoves
Explanation:
There is a tendency in Kosovar Albanian to write in a similar fashion to Serbian. Instead of "Karta SIM' they write "SIM kartela" which is wrong in many levels, at least from the Standard language perspective.
I think that the card refers to Kosovo Telecom SIM card. Kosovo Telecom provides mobile telephony, too.

Explanation:
If we follow the tendency in Kosovo Albanian to write in a similar fashion to Serbian, I would say that TK means Karte Telefoni (Telefoni Karte). Just a wild guess.

disagree  Jonis Buzi, MA: Not in this case. That tendency is obvious when foreign terms/abbreviations are used in Albanian.
