Summary/Abstract: While thinking about the region at the crossroads of the East and the West, which has experienced wars, hyperinflation during the last twentyfive years, facing the economic problems under neoliberal and transitional conditions, unsuccessful attempts and failed privatizations, incompetent institutions, one wonders what the present generations will leave to the future ones. Southeast Europe or the Western Balkans is the region of small markets with unstable economies. The economic sustainability of each individual country in Southeast Europe is fragile. The best example of an unsustainable economy is a self-proclaimed state of Kosovo. After the independence proclamation euphoria, which has lasted for almost ten years, Kosovo is currently facing the unsustainability of the whole economic system.
