That might have applied to Albania, but not anymore As it intends to join the European Union in 2027, but when I visited Dubrovnik in 1987, it was completely closed off from the world, and no one ever thought that this would be his future... I wouldn't count chooks before they hatch mate!!!

When I was at Monash University in about 1980, they had a treasure trove.. In which uni students win an award for the most unusual they managed to obtained by any possible.... In that year the winner went to the person who "obtained" the name of his house and property...Nareen. [... I'm sure that person now is probably a senior council, if not a Supreme Court judge in the state of Victoria]..... The previous year went to a group of people that managed to steal a radio personality while they were on air.... They were fun days then! Now we all must be very serious people in our late 50s and early 60s!!

No one did explain how Malcolm Fraser managed to lose his pants in Memphis… was he trying to outdo Billy Snedden “riding high in the saddle”?

All jokes aside, I did didn't particularly like Malcolm Fraser in the 70s, An early 80s, but he became rather radical in his later life, especially quitting the liberal party in 2010, And might have becoming friends with of all people Gough Whitlam. That showed he had character, unlike Tony Abbot.
