What are the views on crossdressing in the Balkans?

Hi! Two friends and I are considering visiting ex-Yugoslavia + Albania next summer. I'm a plain cis guy who happens to like wearing skirts and other stuff, but I often try not to look too feminine as I mostly wear black and white without any makeup, although I like to wear colored outfits (also, i'm not trans).

I'm from Western Europe and I dress like that in public. Although I do get a few stares here and there, I actually never really got negative remarks. I even sometimes get mistaken as a woman lol. Now of course I know the Balkans have much more conservative societies, so I'm being realistic and I'm assuming my experience would be -at least- not as comfortable if I travel there dressed like that.

So now considering the fact I'm traveling in a group, will I be safe if I behave correctly, without showing off and just being... idk, a normal person?

Thank you all!
