 * Is there a way to make this shorter?:
 * `if($shipping_country == "BG" || $shipping_country == "EE" || $shipping_country
   == "FI" || $shipping_country == "HU" || $shipping_country == "IE" || $shipping_country
   == "LV" || $shipping_country == "LT" || $shipping_country == "PL" || $shipping_country
   == "PT" || $shipping_country == "RO" || $shipping_country == "SI" || $shipping_country
   == "SK" || $shipping_country == "CZ")`

 * This is not a question related to wordpress..
 * still, answer to your question:
 *     ```
       $ar = array("BG", "EE", "FI", .....);
       if(in_array($shipping_country, $ar)) {
       // do something..
       }
       ```
