What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Kosovo. They wrote...
"Expats in Kosovo often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. Many find the language barrier to be a challenge, as Albanian is the official language and many locals do not speak English. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate, as they are quite different from those of other countries. Expats may also find the local cuisine to be unfamiliar, as it is heavily influenced by Turkish and Mediterranean flavors. Finally, the local infrastructure can be difficult to navigate, as public transportation is limited and roads can be in poor condition," remarked another expat who made the move to Kosovo.
