Another important point, that is developed includes the trends of economic, political and institutional development of the Western Balkan countries with relation to two major factors shaping the region’s context, the international economic and financial crisis and the process of European integration reflected in the fiscal and structural reforms undertaken in the respective countries. The descriptive statistics illustrates the relationship between economic growth and selected macroeconomic indicators by the explaining of the econometric model built and studied.
