Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the concept of sustainable development, which was mentioned in the Meadow report from 1972. In the first part of the paper, it is explained how the global goals of sustainable development should be included in the national development strategies of the country. Next, the paper shows how successful the European Union and Slovenia have been in implementing social development goals, where a comparison is made with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The conclusion is that despite the growing awareness, a different growth agenda is needed to achieve more sustainable development. Relatively simple goals of sustainable development are very difficult to operationalize in policies that would (directly and indirectly) lead to the achievement of the goals. Achieving the goals requires the coordinated action of all interested parties and significant human and financial resources. While developed countries such as Slovenia are positioned to achieve the goals of sustainable development by 2030, less developed countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina are significantly behind. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the progress achieved and the need to learn from good practices implemented in developed countries.
