The cost of living is significantly lower than most EU cities, making it attractive for families seeking European education at reasonable prices. Infrastructure has improved considerably, and the city offers good healthcare through both public and private systems. English is increasingly spoken among younger generations and professionals. The expat community is smaller but growing, particularly among those seeking alternative European bases. Bureaucratic processes can be challenging but manageable with proper guidance.
