Abstract: The notion Western Balkan exist after clash of ex Yugoslavia and it mean all ex Yugoslav republics, except Slovenia, but with Albania. As a new geo-political notion, Western Balkan sometime, for the purposes of various analitical aproaches has more regionaly-geografical conotation, than political one. In other words, more space-economic than historic-cultural-political meaning. In some other contexts, Western Balkan countries is seen as exclusivelly political notion. So, we are talking about Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, Albania and Former Yugoslav Republic of Makedonia (FYROM). We analised state of private security in these countries with critical approach to possibilities of development of private security industry and its harmonization with European model of private security.
