Albania ranks alongside the EU's richest countries in terms of the number of high-class cars. The explanation is simple. They're driven from all over the EU into the black hole known as Albania where they are sold at half price. The former owners then declare their vehicles to be stolen and receive a sizable insurance check, as well as money from the sale. Everyone's satisfied.

Usually these cars are also rented in countries like Germany and driven to Albania or Kosovo. The person who rented the car declares the vehicle to be stolen. The cars are officially registered in Albania and driven there and in neighboring Kosovo, problem-free.

The taste for illegal for Albanians is bred since childhood. Although their illegal activities may look frightful from the outside, they seem sweet when you're on the inside. What is considered a crime in a civilized state is called an act of bravery in Albania. Besides narcotics and human trafficking — traditional crimes for the Balkans — all other forms of contraband thrive.
