The paper analyses the relationship between innovation outputs and innovation inputs, as well as the relationship between the global innovation index and the global competitiveness index of six countries from the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro), and a group of five selected European Union countries, of which five are immediately adjacent to this region (Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Romania and Slovenia), whereas Austria, as a highly developed and highly innovative country, is geographically located very close to the Western Balkans. The main goal is to come up with the answer to the questions: a) how much does the value of innovation inputs determine the value of innovation outputs in the Western Balkans countries, on the one hand, and the selected EU countries from their immediate surroundings, on the other hand, and b) was there the interdependence between the value of the global innovation index and the global competitiveness index of the selected European countries in 2012.
