Abstract

The main purpose of this chapter is to analyse the pace of structural changes in the
Serbian economy predominantly through comparative analysis with other countries
of Western Balkans i.e. to identify the progress made in implementation these
changes, main challenges and to perceive whether and in what way the concept
should be modified. The analysis is mainly based on the surveys of the European Bank
for Reconstruction and Development (Transition Indicators), World Bank (Doing
business), World Economic Forum (Index of International Competitiveness) and
Heritage Foundation (Index of Economic Freedom). The results of these surveys
indicate that Serbia currently has not been well positioned in terms of implementing
transitional changes, conditions for doing business, level of competitiveness and
economic freedom. What is especially worrying is the fact the implementation of
structural reforms and business conditions improvements in Serbia are very slow,
particularly in the last couple of years. Nevertheless, it is clear that without more proactive
policy and strong-minded implementation of structural changes, Serbia will
increasingly lag behind other countries of the region and that will only hinder its
existing position.
