Flew into Tivat,Montenegro and also Tirane,Albania last summer in a PA28 Dakota.Both expensive.Tivat was just for a pilot change so the stay was about 45mins.The bill,including the mandatary handling charge, was about 90 Euros.
Tirane was a night stop resulting in the most detailed landing/parking bill I have ever come across!
Landing charge/parking charge/security charge/ATC charge(we were VFR?)MET briefing charge/ground handling charge etc etc etc.
Result---200+Euros.
Which would probably explain the lack of visiting GA in Albania.
However,the city was an interesting visit.
