Abstract The purpose of this contribution is to discuss the economic performance of non-EU Balkans countries compared to the European Union and some selected other countries of the Mediterranean Basin over the period 1999-2008. The idea is to highlight different paths of convergence to the European Union of different groups of countries interacting with the EU for different purposes (access versus partnership). We also try and make an attempt to assess roughly the different policy strategies to evaluate the stimula and obstacles to endogenous growth given to Balkans countries through the Process of Stabilisation and Association.
