The theoretical development of the subject gives an overview of recent macroeconomic and structural developments in the countries of the Western Balkan region by dissecting the various contributors of growth. 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.
