Unable to upgrade Spotify

Solved!

Unable to upgrade Spotify

I have an active subscription to Spotify. When I start Spotify om ny HTC One I get a message that I need to upgrade. Fine. U click the Upgrade now button. However, since I am currently in Croatia I am told that the app is not available in my area.
This annoys me endlessly. The app is already installed on my device, the area I am in should not matter in my opinion. Is there a way I can get updated Spotify?

Unfortunately it is because the new update is a completely new app in the store which (as always) in only available in regions where Spotify is available.

There is a little more detail about the new update here:

It's worth trying to see if you can install the new version manually using the "manual" option on the mobile site?
