The city of Luxembourg, also known as Luxembourg City, is a commune with city status, and the capital of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Pristina is the capital and largest city of the disputed territory of Kosovo. Luxembourg City is one of the wealthiest cities in the world, having developed into a banking and administrative centre. Luxembourg is a seat of several institutions of the European Union, including the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Auditors, and the European Investment Bank. The city is developing with many new roads being built in Pristina. The national government is taking part in modernising the roadways as well, building motorways linking the city.
The overall cost of living rank in Luxembourg is 64 out of 300 global locations, which equates it with high cost of living locations. An expatriate moving from Pristina to Luxembourg will experience a change in cost of living of 37.1%.
