Pay $2500+/month.

Well according to the information leaked about the wages their devs are paid around 1.5-2k euro salary a month. So i don't belive that is the case. What i believe in small countries is the phenomenon of nepotism. Small people can get paid quite good just sitting on a chair and doing nothing and still getting paid EU standards.

I don't think that is the case. Lower pay doesn't have to mean low quality software. Albanian software houses suffer from poor engineering decisions. I've seen source code of outsourced software meant for Italian government agencies where sensitive user data is "encrypted" as base64. When the engineering department deems base64 as appropriate encryption and nobody raises an eyebrow inside the company, safe to say it is a sign of incompetence.
