Summary/Abstract: Integration of our country into the European Union is the primary goal of the Serbian economic development. The government, businesses and civil society organi- zations need support in preparing for accession to the EU. Socially acceptable eco- nomic development in Serbia is crucially important for sustainable political stability in the region. The majority of the countries of South-Eastern Europe have successfully completed the process of political transformation. On the other side, the Serbian path from a planned to a market economy appears to be far more difficult to achieve than was originally anticipated. This paper is driven by the will to learn lessons from ex- perience with previous programmes and financial instruments that helped Serbia, and to explain the importance of foreign help during the process of the Serbian integration into a unified Europe, as well.
