Abstract

Sustainable development is a complex set of activities on which the United Nations (UN) has based the future sustainable, inclusive, and ecological development of countries. By setting goals in the 2030 Agenda, sustainable development became a priority over economic growth. Improvement of the environment, progress of the economy, and preservation of the planet have become the general goals of every state policy and are achieved through the harmonisation of public policies. The goal of this paper is to review the progress of the Balkan countries through a comparative analysis of sustainable development goals by measuring sustainable development indicators. The primary set of sustainable development goal indicators from the available UN database is analysed. The results show that each of the mentioned concepts is directed at a common goal: reaching the highest possible values of the sustainable development goals. The objectives are designed and linked to lead to the same result regardless of the approach. The conclusion is that for every country, regardless of the political system, the basic concept of future economic development represents sustainable development and a contribution to global sustainable development. The contribution of this paper is reflected in the ability of the state or individual to see the advantages and disadvantages through a broad approach to the goals of sustainable development, while the results of the work can be a good basis for a more detailed analysis by sub-indicators or different groups of indicators.
