      abstract = {The last decade of the twentieth century was very  successful for a number of ex socialist countries of  Central Europe. That was the decade of prosperity,  progress, and getting closer to the modern and developed  European countries. This region (Slovenia, Poland, Czech  Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia) comprises group of  countries in transition, which are in the front line in the  process oh transformation of their economic systems,  implementation of economic reforms and attracting private  foreign investments, first of all, foreign direct  investment. In contrast to these countries, in the area of  former Yugoslavia, the early 1990s were the years of  complete disintegration, marked by economic sanctions, huge  human causalities, and vast destructions. The dramatic  political
situation Serbia was in, caused heavy  consequences on its social-economic development.
The result  is that Serbia today is one of the least developed  countries in Europe. Position
of Serbian economy  drastically aggravated in the area of international capital  flow.
In this paper we analyze one form of international  capital flow that can start up the
Serbian economy –  foreign direct investment. In the period to come, the  development of our country will mostly depend on the value  of foreign investments. Without direct foreign investments  and conditions of low domestic savings, limited  opportunities for crediting, lack of management knowledge,  modern technology and export routes, there is not going to  be any economic development in Serbia. In that sense, the  most prominent is the need to affirm our competitory  advantages and to remove the existing limitations for  foreign investments so that conditions for foreign  investors to realize in the fastest way their ideas for  investments are created.},
