Summary/Abstract: We are witnesses that we are living in a time of economical and political globalization. Everything what is happening is in the trend of globalization, such as economic developments, economic associations as well as political and geo-political associations of different countries. Balkan countries (including Kosovo) are slowly joining the new modern trends toward more open liberal economy and Euro-Atlantic integration. Economical and political globalization as a worldwide trend affects the expansion of national economies into a global - world area, in which they slowly but surely eliminate a set of different barriers, in particular political interventions. But the “Jumping” of national economies into Global markets has not only positive aspects but also negative, bringing with themselves the risk, for pure and not enough competitive companies of Kosovo. There is a hypothesis which needs to be verified: “Mutual influence between the diversity in the Balkans and the globalization process is large”. Giving the proper and scientific answer, for the main issue and hypothesis, needs a lot of analyses and methods including statistical and historical data. To sum up, there are not more advantages than disadvantages of globalization and vice versa. What can be concluded is that the process of globalization is unavoidable. The step globalization has undertaken, while setting new standards and regulations has gone too far to be misplaced. As cloudy as it may seem, the disappearance of various domestic products and the expansion towards a global unity of economic sense might prove valuable for the future generations.
