Abstract
Here some estimates obtained from a survey of the possibilities for regional and cross-border cooperation within four Balkan countries are presented. Mainly small and medium enterprises (SME) from Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania (53 to 63 questionnaires) and Greece (121 questionnaires) were surveyed. Enterprises, which already have or have no business relations with neighbour countries, were examined. This is made in order to identity more accurately the barriers for regional cooperation, including those insurmountable for the enterprises cooperation. Main results and conclusions from the study and the recommendations to the policy makers are presented.
