The purpose of this paper is to explore the status of economic cooperation among countries in the South East Europe (SEE) with particular attention on the cooperation between Macedonia and Albania. In line with the SEE 2020 Strategy adopted by the EU aspiring countries in 2013, increased intra-regional cooperation among the countries should be used as a preparation for a smooth and faster European and Euro-Atlantic integration. This paper provides an in-depth analysis and statistics of the overall economic cooperation, trade patterns and capital movement among the countries and identifies major obstacles for increased cooperation that could result in higher economic growth rates. The paper concludes that while the cooperation among countries of former Yugoslavia is stronger, the level of cooperation between Macedonia and Albania is still very low and could be significantly increased provided certain policy instruments are implemented.

Although the concept of self-sufficiency has been accepted both in developed and developing countries, alternated with periods of its rejections, the food crisis from 2007/08 and COVID-19 pandemic returned focus to the availability of countries to be self-sufficient in food production. Considering the concerns over ensuring food security in many countries, the main objective of this paper is to estimate the ability to fulfill the feed demand of the population in the eight countries of South-East Europe (SEE), which is in crisis conditions, such as pandemic especially important. In that context, the food self-sufficiency ratio (SSR) is calculated for total food production, as well as for different food groups. The next step in the methodological framework was to estimate the influence of different factors on the self-sufficiency ratio, as it depends on natural, financial, economic, and political factors. The results show that the SEE region expresses a high level of SSR in food, so it shows that the region is quite ready to respond to the challenges posed by the crisis. However, as the SEE region is a group of very different countries, regional cooperation should be strengthened as food production is considered.

This article explores the role of international law instruments in the process of institutionalisation of regional cooperation in South East Europe. The institutionalisation has been defined as the process of creation of regional organisations composed by the states and other subjects involved in regional cooperation. The article examines how primary and secondary international legal acts are used to enable creation of these organisations and their functioning. The article concludes that the founders of the said regional organisations have relied on the international law instruments typically used in the process of establishment of international organisations and that the bodies of the regional organisations have produced various legal acts enabling internal management and conduct of operations of these organisations.
