Variations from 2023 display both growth and decline, with Montenegro showing a notable increase, suggesting a surge in demand or training. Meanwhile, Romania’s decline signals potential workforce issues or regulatory changes. Overall, Northern and Western Europe maintain strong numbers, while some Eastern countries are lagging behind.
