dc.description.abstractThe present paper explores the levels of growth and competitiveness in Serbia with regard to the institutional, political and economic environment of the country, providing a detailed report. The paper explains: 1) the significance of economic growth in general in order to inform the reader about the importance and necessity for an environment reinforcing economic growth within a country, 2) the link between economic growth and the levels of competitiveness in the country, as well as on the institutional, political and economic determinants that can positively or negatively affect growth, 3) the political, institutional and economic background of the Balkan region and Serbia in particular, in order to assist the reader in understanding how the current institutional and economic environment of the Balkan region and Serbia were formed during the period of post-communist transition, 4) the level and trends of the competitiveness of Serbia’s institutional, economic and business environment, in a longitudinal and comparative examination, in order to detect specific inefficiencies in its growth performance.
