Sažetak
Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) was initially signed in order to move away from communistic regime and strengthen cooperation and trade among member countries. It is possible to differ two periods in the process of CEFTA development. First period begins in 1992 signing the agreement and it lasts till the EU enlargement in 2004 when CEFTA starts new period of the development. Today, CEFTA is considered to be a “transitional” organization that will prepare member countries for the EU membership. This paper addresses main issues of the recent CEFTA development. Trade flows, as well as the level of liberalization of capital and labor among countries are analyzed. The paper deals also with institutionalization and monitoring in CEFTA. Main problems are defined, as well as accomplishments and effects of CEFTA for now. Based on afore mentioned analysis, conclusions are brought about perspectives and challenges of the future development of this regional economic integration.
