Eight countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia) will be analysed from two different points of view: the internet penetration rate and smartphone users’ proportion. It is expected and increasing number of users in each country, but the results show us that the population value and the GDP of the country are important factors in the e-commerce level of each one. All of the above-mentioned countries have a communist history, but the evolution of each of them is very different.
