i have never visited albania, but from personal experience i can tell you that countries of former yugoslavia (albania's neighborhood with significant albanian minorities) are amongst the safest in terms of public safety (with exception of petty theft in large cities such as zagreb, belgrade, and sarajevo). importantly, this is not due to these places being heavily policed as is the case in australia for example, but because of culture. i imagine the same to be true for albania
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoI never said the place was not safe.
- medo-bear 5y agoi think that public safety is a feature of eastern europe most westerners are unaware of. this is often due to a false association of low income and high crime rates that is prevalent in anglo communities. the only place in western europe where i experienced comparable public safety was in portugal, curiously another low income country. anyway i think that you should not sell your homeland short despite its shortcomings. btw you did not make it clear what country you are talking about
- smcl 5y agoVery subjective and anecdotal, but my experience of Montenegro, Bosnia and Croatia is similar.
- rastignack 5y agoIt’s true. Be it serbia, Croatia, Montenegro or Albania, those are safe. And quite enjoyable, people are quite fun there.
