This is one of my 'rigs' on a tour around Scotland last year. 90s Raleigh mtb given to me by a friend set up for touring using whatever was in the parts bin. Worked really well, no issues at all. My focus now is to be able to comfortable be riding day in day out. I think that’s more important than general speed. If you need to ride longer distances per day, just get up earlier..
Our route took us via Ostrava, Brno, Bratislava, Budapest, Novi Sad, Belgrade, Sarajevo, Mostar some years back. Not sure whats going to happen but that is hopefully in safe distance from Russia.
All the best mate!

Lol, now that I saw your bike, I feel a bit embarrassed by my earlier comments. Our setups couldn't be more different. My bike is probably twice as heavy and ridden at half the speed.
Hope you still get to go!

I have been in your situation so completely understand your worries. My longest trip ended up being only 1 month but I have done various trips over the years.
What I learn when touring is that you cannot really plan for much, say you have spare parts with you but not the one that fails. I think it is unlikely your hubs will fail and wouldn’t worry about it. If it does, you will find a solution, especially if you are not under time pressure.
I would go as light as possible (not easy when starting in beginning of March) and adapt you setup on the way. You will get more experienced while you travel. There are shops (Decathlon) on the way to Albania so you will have plenty of time and resources to adapt before you hit more challenging countries.
I have done the Balkans in March 2016. PM me if you like to chat about it.
