I didn't even double-check if Trieste is part of the balkans, I'm trying to geographically outsmart anyone here without googling...
Also:
Even the whole of Romania wasn't part of the Ottoman empire...just half of it, they're in league of their own geographically and historically, basically the "Finland of the south".

From 1920 until World War II, Italy included Istria and some Dalmatian areas (like Zara, today's Zadar) that are within the general definition of the Balkan peninsula. The current territory of Italy includes only the small area around Trieste inside the Balkan Peninsula. However, the regions of Trieste and Istria are not usually considered part of the Balkans by Italian geographers, due to their definition of the Balkans that limits its western border to the Kupa River.[34]
This is a good comparison, both cities have a couple impressive turn of the 20thC buildings surrounded by more monotone 80's constructions. Both can be blamed for living in a sort of 80's time-warp architecturally.
Montevideo obviously has the benefit of a decent coastline, its also more prosperous.

I've been to Romania and outside of Transylvania it lacks prosperity. I would say Romania is more akin to the Andes region of Colombia in development (although growing fast), than Uruguay.
Uruguay has substantially higher GDP per capita, a longer life expectancy (Romania has lower life expectancy than Peru even) and is ranked higher in Health systems by the WHO. Although in infrastructure both are lacking especially Uruguay's road network that's in urgent need of an upgrade.
Romanian economy also grows faster, and considering the country has negative population growth, its per capita grows even faster. Romanian economy will grow 3,4% in 2019; Uruguay, 0,6%.

One year's growth or higher economic performance doesn't replace decades of higher income and prosperity. The difference in life expectancy as well as other factors are a good indication of that.
Also the difference in PPP is minimal whereas the difference in international purchasing power is palpable. However, with entry into the EU and accelerated growth/stability as well as remittances from far more prosperous EU nations will probably change the result sooner rather than later but for now Montevideo still holds the edge.
but do Montevideons have faster internet speed than Romania...that's the question (on the "joke" that Romania has the fastest internet in the world, google it...).

Not just 2019, you may need a very up-to-date information. Romania's economic growth is killing it since very recently: 2015, so it's more like 5 years. This also coincided with their launched fight on corruption.
EU also has nothing to do with it, Bulgaria is also in the eu while Serbia isn't, Croatia just entered and look at the differences between them, nothing makes sense if you try to apply eu context to their development (example: eu bulgaria has lower salaries than non-eu Montenegro).
