As far as I know you can only get it in Slovakia and Czech Republic (maaaybe Poland, but not so sure about that one) Source: am from Slovakia, but living in Nordic country now. Edit: I should look for more polish shops..thanks for informing me that Kofola does indeed made it outside EU..I'm proud •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

You can get it in small European shops in both UK and Canada, but also in one particular large supermarket in Canada

Not that it helps in your specific case, but just saying...

Really?! Thats actually really cool that it made it all the way to Canada! I haven't honestly really looked for it here where I live now, it makes it that more precious to me for when I return for home visit once a year.

It does cost an arm and a leg though 😂 This was from one of the larger stores, it used to be cheaper before, but all this "inflation" was great opportunity to hike the prices up.
