The problem is not the country but the API between KMyMoney and AqBanking that changed for reasons introduced by the extended European payment regulations named PSD2.
Even though the backend for banks supporting OFX did not change, the new AqBanking interface needs to be used in such cases to reflect the API changes. In case you don't get packages, you need to uninstall packaged versions of AqBanking and Gwenhywfar and build them yourself (I am doing that on a regular basis).
You could use the git repo or tarballs. They can be found at
https://www.aquamaniac.de/rdm/projects/aqbanking/files
https://www.aquamaniac.de/rdm/projects/gwenhywfar/files
Use the latest you can find. As you can see, they are updated on a regular basis.
The git repos are at
https://git.aquamaniac.de/git/aqbanking.git
https://git.aquamaniac.de/git/gwenhywfar.git
and both are currently developed and maintained on the master branch (works with KMyMoney 5.0 and master branch).
As Jack already mentioned, the 3rdparty subdirectory is for the construction of the appimage container and not necessary/touched/used for your local build.
Note to Jesus: if you use OFX for your online banking, you don't need AqBanking but can use KMyMoney's own libofx plugin.
I found some old slides from a presentation I gave during Akademy 2008 (I must have a recording somewhere and might have to post it someday) and extracted the ones that explain how the software is layered in terms of the various plugins. Details sure have changed since then, but the overall structure is still the same. The OFX block on the KBanking slide btw is also based on LibOFX.
Regards
Thomas
