About these cities
About Kukës
Kukës is a dirt-cheap base for anyone who prizes low costs over stimulation: a city-centre one-bedroom runs $232/mo and a monthly public transport pass costs $6/mo, figures that make the $531/mo average net salary go surprisingly far. The catch is that this is a town of 16 thousand with no expat community, limited English, and a digital nomad score of 56/100, so come only if you genuinely enjoy isolation. The FIRE score of 86/100 and expat score of 84/100 tell the real story: great for stacking cash, rough for building a social life.
About Albania
Albania works for budget-focused retirees willing to trade nightlife and expat density for cheap rent, not remote workers chasing top-tier infrastructure. A 1BR in the city center runs $561/mo, roughly half of many EU capitals. The digital nomad visa only requires EUR 450/mo income, but 23% income tax and a clear path to permanent residency cap the long-term upside.

About Pozarevac
Pozarevac is a cheap bet that pays off if you can tolerate the trade-offs. A one-bedroom outside the center runs $157/mo, and even the comfortable tier for a single adult lands at $694/mo, which is remarkable against a local net salary of $764/mo. The catch is that English proficiency is limited, healthcare quality is only fair, and the safety index sits at a middling 50/100. Come for the FIRE math and the 13 km hop to BEG, not for big-city polish.
About Serbia
A 1BR in central Belgrade runs $514, less than a studio in most mid-size US cities, with a flat 10% income tax and a $711 monthly budget covering essentials easily. Retirement visa needs just EUR 400/mo income, among the lowest thresholds in Europe. The catch: no digital nomad visa and a path to permanent residency exists, but permanent residency does not necessarily lead to EU stability.
