Summary/Abstract: One of the basic and dominant ways of realising life-long educational and learning is educating adults. Success of this process requires adequate enivronment supporting permanent and continuous acquiring new knowledge and skills. Education of adults is the area which has been neglected in the countries of South - Eastern Europe due to many transitional problems, first of all economic ones. Although it has been becoming more and more important issue of the educational policies in the region, adult education has not become the priority yet. Some countries of the South-Eastern Europe have adopted strategies of adult education and some principles of adult education, but their adoption does not mean implementation, i.e. the ''wheel'' which will start development of adult education and realisation of the educational aims. Considering the fact that the aim of the state policy of adult education is obtaining planned development of the area - planned building of the social surrounding and relevant mechanism and resources for education and learning of the adults, i.e. Creating the system for realising the mission of the for achieving the vision of the adult education, and it is necessary that these strategies an instrument of educational policy contain the key developmental elements. So, the intention of this paper is to see and determine the key developmental elements in the adopted strategies based on the critical analyses of the four strategies of the regional countries. The overall presence was measured bay the scale of estimation, and the basis of the esimation was the critical opinion of the researches during strategies analysis. The analysis resulted with the conclusion that the law of adult education and financing education of the adults as a developmental element belong of the category of ''very stressed developmental elements'' and the stuff for adult education are treated as developmental element which is inadequatly stressed (the average is 1. 75) in the analysed strategies. Law, financing, institutions and stuffd as developmental elements have been observed in our research individually - isolated as their developmental strenght which comes into full force in their mutual work. In this context, based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that each analysed strategy represents a strong developmental potential stressed through mutual work of developmental elements.
