Sažetak
Competitiveness is a complex term which does not have unique definition and can be observed at the enterprise level (micro level) and macro level. The most common formulation is the definition agreed by the OECD, according to which competitiveness is the ability of the country to produce goods and services in free and equal market conditions, which placement on the international market will ensure retention and increase in the real income of the population. By the analysis, in this paper, the Western Balkan countries include those that have become members of the EU (Croatia) and countries that currently have the status of candidates and potential candidates (Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, and Serbia). As the key indicators of competitiveness, World Competitiveness Scoreboard, Global Competitiveness Index, Doing Business Index and Index of Economic Freedom are analysed. By the analysis, it has been found that health, primary education, getting credit, protecting minority investors, fiscal and monetary freedom are assessed as the most “favourable” areas in the observed countries. On the other side, innovativeness, market size, obtaining permits, property rights, and freedom from corruption are assessed as the most unfavourable areas. Also, the analysis has pointed out the difficulties that Republic of Croatia deals with, which prevent reduction of differences in the development in comparison to other EU member states.
