Countries of SE Europe are at very beginning of planning of their development in accordance with theoretical concept of sustainable development. Sustainable development is defined as the basic imperative and the only model of development in a longer period of time. The basic indicators of sustainable development represent a very useful and quality way for measuring and monitoring the state of sustainable development, as in every country individually so as in the regions and globally as a whole. Values of the indicators of all four subsystems in observed countries are within expectation. Also the current level of development of every country separately is taken into account and in accordance to that it is defined the current position of any country in respect to its international requests. The special value is given by the comparison of obtained results of the state in the developed EU countries, according to which there is an impression of equal degree of sustainable development in France and Germany, whereas the data regarding the state of sustainable development in Greece and at Slovenia has been improved between two analysis. Taking into account the results of the previous and current research there is a clear need for regular observation of the state of every indicator individually but also the need to observe the relationship among them as a whole. The special attention needs to be given to the intensive monitoring of indicators of economic and ecological subsystem. The research showed, among other things, to the fragile relationship of values of indicators of economic and ecological subsystem, by which any change in values of one indicator consequently leads to the changes in the final result. Both conducted researches point to the fact that the value of the mentioned indicators changes at the fastest pace.
