UNESCO SCIENCE REPORT Southeast European countries are advised to invest more and better in research and innovation, prioritizing investment and a ‘smart specialization’ of the region.

10 . Southeast Europe Southeast Europe Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia Djuro Kutlaca INTRODUCTION A heteroclitic region with a common goal Southeast Europe 1 was home to 25.6 million inhabitants in 2013. The region is characterized by strong economic disparities, with GDP per capita being three times higher in the richest country (Slovenia) than in the poorest (Albania) [Table 10.1]. Countries are also at different stages of European integration. Slovenia has been a member of the European Union (EU) since 2004 and Croatia since 2013. Three countries have candidate status: the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia since 2005, Montenegro since 2010 and Serbia since 2012. Albania was proposed for candidate status in June 2014. As for Bosnia and Herzegovina, it was identified as a potential candidate for EU membership as long ago as June 2003, during the Thessaloniki European Council Summit, but uncertainty hangs over the procedure for its membership. For all five non-member countries, European integration represents the only viable project for ensuring social and political coherence. Their integration would benefit Slovenia and Croatia too, as prosperous neighbours would offer the best guarantee of political stability and economic growth. 1. Excluding Greece; Greece is mentioned at times in the present chapter for comparative purposes but, having been a member of the European Union since 1981, it is covered in Chapter 9. Following the disintegration of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, all Southeast European countries were confronted with the challenge of post-socialism. Unfortunately, this economic transition came at a cost; it fragmented and deteriorated countries’ science systems, resulting in brain drain and obsolete infrastructure for research and development (R&D), as described in the UNESCO Science Report 2005. Like Croatia and Slovenia, all five non-EU countries have since completed their transition to open market economies. They remain burdened, however, with high unemployment rates, unacceptable levels of corruption and underdeveloped financial systems. Economies shaken by the global recession Croatia, Greece and Slovenia have been more badly affected by the global financial crisis than their neighbours (Table 10.1), having experienced negative average growth rates between 2009 and 2013. Across the region, recovery has been fragile and partial, with unemployment rates rising steeply in Croatia, Greece, Serbia and Slovenia and remaining high in the other countries. Like the Eurozone, the Western Balkans are experiencing what the International Monetary Fund (IMF) terms ‘low-flation’, a combination of durably poor economic growth and low inflation rates which raise the spectre of deflation. With a deficit of 12.7% and 14.7% respectively in 2013, according to Eurostat, Greece and Slovenia are among the seven countries which failed to respect the 3% deficit ceiling imposed by the Eurozone’s 2 Stability Pact. 2. The Eurozone comprises the 19 EU countries which have adopted the single currency of the euro.
