Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on testing the hypothesis that transnational companies contribute to regional integration and development of West Balkan countries. The testing procedure uses relevant methods (comparison, time series, panel analysis, interviewing method). The test is based on primary research, i.e. the prevalent use of primary sources. The analysis pertains to the 2004-2008 period. The area under research includes Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia. The focus is on the Tondach company experiences. Results of the research can be used in the context of considering the need and possibility for the establishment of the third macro-region in Europe, particularly within the framework of developing its development strategy.
