Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to show whether foreign direct investments affect the development of transition countries. This paper represents an empirical model where you analyze sixteen countries in transition in the 10-year period. The existence of a positive correlation between the level of incoming foreign direct investments and economic characteristics of the economy, as well as its competitiveness, is obvious in numerous studies that have studied this subject, but there are also some opposite standpoints. The increase of foreign direct investments in host country by itself does not imply a positive impact on economic growth, but it depends on numerous factors such as human capital, financial structure development, macroeconomic stability and other institutional factors.
