This is an old thread but perhaps the OP still reads this:
AS, you thrashed Kosovo in your post. But let me tell you : Kosovo is (or would have been ) your best bet when it comes to finding a traditional wife in a post-communist country of EE or the Balkans.
Source: visited Kosovo in 2007. Have several Kosovan aquittances/friends in London and at least one NYC. (Note: can only speak for the majority, Albanian-speaking part. I cannot speak about the tiny northern, Serbian-speaking enclave in the north).
Some food for thought:
Despite of what you have been told - Girls of Kosovo sometimes can and do marry foreigners. (Yes, those girls told you otherwise because you probably came across as a creep and they wanted you to leave them alone)
No, your "day game" BS definitely not going to work there. In fact , I am surprised you have not been seriously told off (or worse) by some of the local men.
If you are an outsider, The only way to marry a girl from there is the following:
Work for an NGO that is active in Kosovo (they can help you with the visa) between 3 to 6 months, or even 12 month if youa re serious about it.
For goodness sake: learn to read and speak Albanian. No, it is not as difficult as you think. (They use Latin alphabet which helps a lot). No, nobody would laugh at your accent. Most people will appreciate that you are making an effort. Learn about the culture, too.
Be passionate about local matter, be a supporter of the Kosovan cause. Express genuine admiration for the UCK (KLA) fighters many of whom paid the ultimate price to protect their people and liberate their homeland. The latter would earn you some respect amongst the hardened , over-45 men whose help you may need later.
Build a small, but reliable network of (male) friend. This may be crucial.
This is crucial: do not mention that you dream of marrying a local girl until AFTER established a degree of trust with some of the more respected locals.
Most Kosovan are secular. Some are secular Muslims. There is also a thriving Catholic community in Prizren and in Prishtine - if that is ok with you.
Once you have established a degree of trust with respectable men in the local community (this may take several months) it is ok to bring up your intention to marry a local girl. If they trust you and like you, someone may even introduce you to a girl and her family who may consider you letting you marry into their family. The rest should be reasonably easy.
So Girls sometimes do marry out: religion or ethnicity usually isn't a constrain, provided you take the steps correctly and her parents (and the wider family) approve of the marriage. Having said that, this is one of the places where having light complexion can be an unspoken advantage. Needless to say: if you are from the UK or the US, you will be treated well by pretty much everyone.
Your mileage may very. You can find some young ladies who look like Rita Ora or Dua Lipa (with less makeup and with lower notch-counts). Yes, girls who remain in Kosovo are better than the ones who went to the West (mainly to the US, the UK, Switzerland and Denmark) with their parents.
Just don't bring her to the West or you are going to deeply regret your decision.
Also, you need to be in good terms with her family. Kosovo -while changing fast, still largely remains a very family-oriented society.
All-in-all:- This may sound difficult, but as far as finding a traditional wife in a post-communist country in Europe - Kosovo (and a lesser extent Albania) are your best bets. All the other countries you are considering are only going to be more difficult. in that regard
I wish you all the best.
