Summary/Abstract: The paper shows that there is a need in most of the Balkan countries to change the law governing the insolvency issue by clearly defining insolvency and thereby removing the confusion surrounding it from the legislation. It is also essential to harmonize the legal provisions so that the term insolvency is used consistently throughout the legal text. The paper also shows the need to define solvency properly in textbooks and present the correct methodology to assess solvency. In this way, it can be expected that neither the term (in)solvency nor the (in)solvency indicator(s) will be incorrectly used by scholars from the Balkan region.
