Summary/Abstract: All the countries of Southeast Europe face serious problems because they are affected by global economic crisis, but at the same time, they state membership in the European Union as their main goal. On the one hand, industrial and overall economic development is different and uneven in all of the countries of the Region, with many different factors that cause these inequalities. On the other hand, different factors influence the strengthening of local and regional industrial development, which requires different support programs of the individual states. However, SEE countries are still not fully exploiting the opportunities opened by the CEFTA 2006, which is one of the reasons why they are lagging behind in regional, industrial and overall economic development. This paper aims to identify and clarify the main problems and certain actions that should be done in the countries of Southeastern Europe, in order to strengthen the development of industry in those countries and thus affect the promotion of trade in the region of CEFTA 2006. This would create conditions for business improvement, proportionally to the total industrial and regional (economic) development of these countries and speed up their process of joining the EU.
