Sažetak
The Western Balkans (WB6) countries are in the process of joining the European Union, but government decisions have a significant impact on their integration. To be accepted to the EU, these countries’ living standards must be equivalent to those of EU members. The aim of this paper is to assess and quantify how close the level of living standards in WB6 countries is to Croatia and Slovenia. The report analyzes and compares Western Balkan nations based on their per capita income from 2010 to 2023. The purpose of this paper is to examine the differences in living standards between the Western Balkan countries and Croatia and Slovenia. The countries (WB6) require around 21 years to achieve Croatia’s standard of living, and approximately 30 years to get close to the standard of living in Slovenia. The government actions of these Western Balkan countries are the primary driving force behind the impact of boosting Balkan inhabitants’ living standards.
