With Euronet ATMs specifically, the danger is getting charged a balance inquiry fee for selecting CASH & BALANCE, the default option, instead of OTHER and then CASH. [Emphasis added.]
This is the key takeaway for infrequent travellers to Europe such as myself. Avoid "Cash & Balance" because you are being charged an outrageous fee by a Euronet ATM to see your balance.
Selecting "Other", followed by "Cash", is a great workaround.
