Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Modern platforms reduce the average timeline to a few weeks for over 90% of cases {like yours|such as Germanwings Stuttgart→Pristina}.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Germanwings's use of technical language is often a strategy to encourage travellers to give up on their 250€. Refusals are particularly common on short-haul routes, where amounts seem "small" to airlines.

The Civil Aviation Authority or its European counterparts can be bureaucratic. A direct court claim against Germanwings is often more effective. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
