Interesting that Kosovo(fairly new country, with low GDP) have highest Cantril Ladder in Balkan, and higher than some countries in EU



Which also seems very weird if you have ever visited these countries


Happiness is often about the change of your state rather than about the state itself.


I don't think the change that happened there really makes anyone happy. Have you been there?


This is not what I meant. I am talking about the change happening in the last few years might be positive w.r.t. what was happening say 10-20 years ago.


I'm not sure what you meant, because of the football match, Kosovo vs England a lot England fans visited and really enjoyed the time there!

I think people like their organs more than they care about football. Hopefully that's history. I wouldn't derive nation's happiness from experience tourists had during a football match.


Seems like you are consuming hate.


Not sure what that means but the stories I heard from the Kosovan (and Serbian and Albanian) people about their dead relatives have certainly filled me with a lot of hate towards pointless wars.
