Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author presents the state and features of the sports systems in states arised from the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and explains the concequences that disappearance of the federal state, the civil war and creation of the small national states caused to its sports development and sports results achieved during the past twenty years. Besides, the paper summarizes the main problems of national sports systems and sorts leagues of above mentioned states and criticize their great expectations from the future process of ownership transformation of sport organizations. It is noted that a colloquial term ’’privatization in sport’’, commonly used in professional and political debates in those countries, does not conform to the essence of the process it refers to in such debates. The concluding part of the paper comprises allegations that during the past twenty years, newly established national states arised from the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia were not very successful in the development of their sports systems. Those allegations have been proved by listing of various facts and examples presenting the results achieved by the national sports teams of that states.
