International organizations classify the following coun­tries in Southeast Europe(Western Balkans): Albania, Bosnia and Herze­govina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development(EBRD) has governance and enterprise restructuring as basic indicator of economic transition and defines it as effective corporate governance and corporate control exercised through do­mestic financial institutions and markets, fostering market-driven restructuring. The corporate governance is most often defined in terms of the roles, responsibili­ties, and interactions of top management and the board of directors. Using data of South-East European economies, will be examined the interrela­tionships between governance and enterprise restructuring, set of policies that influence the governance patterns, gross domestic product and foreign direct investments.
