Bulgaria, we got it, you are getting euros, just stop it already.
It’s the 1000 map of euro currency I’ve seen this year which should’ve been called map of “here’s Bulgaria all fancy and shit”.
PS: just a jealous Romanian counting plastic money

I’m seeing that the average Hungarian salary is 687,000 HUF. Man, how (do they) use cash?

If the Balkans are green, Switzerland should be too. You can pay with Euro banknotes legally in most shops in bigger cities close to the border, and they give you change in Swiss Francs. In the Balkans you can only do that if the shop owner agrees to do it as a personal favor to you.
On the other hand, all of the unofficial big transactions (used car purchases, etc) are done in Euros, because there isn’t a lot of perceived trust in the local currency, and they mostly don’t have big denominations (largest banknote in Bosnia is the equivalent of 50€, in Serbia its about 42€)

You can not pay legally with Euro in Serbia. This can work on a flea market but not in shops, restaurants, services etc.

How is eur widely used in the Balkans? You can’t pay using it.

The Czech Republic uses it unofficially, at least in Prague. I could pay for things with euros and get Koruna in change.

You can not pay legally in Bosnia, only illegally in select small flea market shops over in the south that borders Croatia.

In Romania, cars, apartments, phone subscriptions, etc., are all sold in euros (making it of course more difficult for us).

Why didn’t Sweden and the now-exited UK use the euro?

You can pay in €uros in about all of Scandinavia

People use it in Romania all the time unofficially for expensive stuff like cars, rent, houses etc…

Northern Cyprus uses Euro unofficially, in combination of the official TL

Probably relevant to include countries that have their currency pegged to the Euro: specifically Denmark and Bulgaria.
Czechia is also legally mandated to adopt the euro at some point, though the issue is stalled.
