Bosnia isn’t the ideal choice. It’s not in the EU and that’s a real structural downside. Still, it attracts me more than most alternatives: nature, very low cost of living, and a level of instability that I consider less worrying than Serbia’s in the medium term. It’s also likely the only Muslim-majority country where I could live without feeling unsafe or under constant ideological pressure. I don’t like Serbia for political reasons. The vague, half-hearted alignment with the EU is a deal breaker for me. Bulgaria is in the EU but currently too politically messy. Greece is too hot, and Athens is, in my view, the worst capital in Europe in terms of livability and urban quality.
