You can see in the video that it took some time for the vegetation and trees to grow. Looks so much nicer now

>Despite this, there's still a lingering air of Balkanic nihilism
Yeah of course. Austrians for example have a much better mentality. They have this idea that there are these set of rules that should be kept, it is not very hard and if you do it you will get rewarded. Here similar concept exist but rules are kind of made with the assumption in mind that not everyone will keep it. I don't know if it makes sense. Mentally we are not there. Also Hungarians in general tend to be extremely frustrated and/or stressed people. But there is no point of getting hang up on this. Hungary will never be Austria and it is what it is. Things can still become better long term even if things are never going to be perfect because that would require a different mentality and more social cohesion
