Pristina is the capital and largest city of the disputed territory of Kosovo. The city is developing with many new roads being built in Pristina. The national government is taking part in modernising the roadways as well, building motorways linking the city.Kosovo is in South East Europe, between Serbia and Macedonia The climate is influenced by continental air masses resulting in relatively cold winters with heavy snowfall and hot, dry summers and autumns. The mediterranean and alpine influences create regional variation.The Albanian majority in Kosovo speak Albanian and refuse to speak Serbian. It will therefore be considered offensive to communicate in Serbian or other similar Slavic languages with Kosovar Albanians. Many Kosovars do now speak or understand basic English. The main religions are Islam and Christianity.The economy of Kosovo is one of the poorest in Europe. Despite substantial development subsidies Kosovo was the poorest province of the former Yugoslavia. Over the course of the 1990s, poor economic policies, international sanctions, weak access to external trade and finance, and ethnic conflict severely damaged the already weak economy.In Kosovo traditional customs are widely respected, however less formality is becoming more common. Expatriate business dress is conservative, comprising suits. Businesswomen are expected to dress conservatively. Women may be disregarded, even if they are in senior positions, in some of the country's more conservative areas.The security risk for expatriates in Kosovo is medium. Risks include street crime (particularly pickpocketing and bag-snatching in Pristina), organised crime, and risks related to poor infrastructure such as travel challenges and power cuts in winter.The currency of Kosovo is the Euro (EUR), however the Serbian Dinar is sometimes accepted in Serb-majority areas. Most transactions are cash based. Credit cards are accepted and there are some ATMs in Pristina and other major cities.Medical facilities are relatively poor and limited. Crimean Congo Haemorrhagic Fever is endemic. West Nile virus has been reported.The population of Pristina is 477,300 (Metro) (2019 est.), while the inflation rate (CPI) is 2.2% for Kosovo as at October 2019.Xpatulator Hypothetical Tax for Kosovo is based on the current personal income tax rates which are progressive up to 10%.
