Shala joined Palace in March this year and played five times with the Under-18s in 2021/22, keeping three clean sheets.
He also stepped-up to first-team training with a roster of Academy teammates, and caps a successful personal campaign with this call-up.
The young goalkeeper has previously represented Kosovo at Under-19 level, but makes the step to the Under-21s for their upcoming U21 European Championship qualifiers.
Kosovo take on Andorra, England and Albania as they bid to move up a challenging qualifying Group G. They beat both Andorra and Albania earlier in the competition.
With this call-up Shala becomes the seventh confirmed Academy international after England Under-18s and the Republic of Ireland Under-21s announced their squads earlier this month.
