UPDATE: the Kosovan civil aviation department just emailed me saying Eurowings backed down and will issue EC261 compensation as well as reimbursing the lost train ticket.
So for anyone claiming any and all cancellations having anything to do with COVID-19 is ineligible for compensation: not true, as I've said the whole time.

Current EU practices and interpretation are quite clear and consistent: You are entitled to a refund of the ticket price but not to any compensation beyond that.
If they are refusing a refund, they are incorrect. If they refuse extra compensation, they are correct.
