Trade and Country Legislation as a Roadmap for Economic Integration: Focus on Balkan Countries

Purpose: This paper focuses on identifying the role of trade and legislation of a country for economic integration. Every Balkan country has claims to integrate into the large family of the European Union- EU. This context besides foreign trade legal infrastructure is one of the main determinants of this process. It is imperative that laws related to the process of economic integration should comply with EU legal directives. Design/Methodology/Approach: Data processing design (for legislation as a roadmap for economic integration) is in line with established international standards. It focuses on data published by the governing institutions of the relevant countries using deductive methods. It also compares data obtained from research in analytical and synthetic terms with direct access to literature, scientific journals, as well as official reports published locally and abroad. Findings: Today, economic integration has become a necessity of recent times. They are influenced by a large number of relevant factors and are received by political actors on the basis of whose political actions will bring about liberal or protectionist policies. Each state has its own legal acts and other legal provisions regulating the functioning of the country's legal system. Free trade and the implementation of economic integration are closely linked to "Fiscal Policy" as part of the overall economic system. Adoption of restrictive fiscal laws that impede the international movement of goods and services has detrimental effects on the development of international trade and impedes the development of good relations between sovereign states. Practical Implications: The elaboration of this paper is based on the legal analysis of contemporary economic integration as well as the economic aspects and modalities for the practical realization of regional integration. The paper presents data - on market performance and legislation that determines economic integration - which shows the current state of affairs of the Western Balkan countries in the context of such integration. Originality/Value: The data in the paper present the real state of commercial economic developments and legislation as determinant of economic integration in the Western Balkan countries. The focus is on the creation of adjacent legislative spaces of these countries, which enables accelerated integration with the ultimate aim of joining the EU

Leadership Styles in Kosovo Businesses:

It has often been said that the style of decision making is reflective of leadership style. Numerous studies in the field of management and leadership show that decision making style is a key factor contributing to the success of managers and organizational performance. In Kosovo, decision-making styles are conditioned by many factors. It should be noted that the most important factor in adequately matching the characteristics and knowledge of workers and the specifics required at work lies in the high number of unemployment. This often causes the workforce to perform work for which there is no professional training in the field. Also, from the research we found that there is a difference in the decision making style and the adaptation of the characteristics of work and employees between sectors. In general, the public sector tends to have more security for employees in the workplace, which drives them to look for other jobs, but the private sector shows more willingness to take risks. The difference also lies in the nature and activity of the work between the sectors studied. Often there are different approaches of employees and leaders between the banking sector or design organizations. Our study, which is based on empirical data, will present facts on decision-making styles, and factors that influence the determination or adaptation / non-adaptation of employees to the jobs in the sectors studied.
