Rapid technological developments have also affected the countries of the Balkans, where as a result many hackers and other attackers have attempted to attack computer systems and data in these countries as well. The initial attacks that directed you to these places were "phishing" attacks where there was an attempt to suspend the work of online systems, especially in Public Institutions. But over time, especially in the last 3 years, the biggest attacks belong to DDoS attacks, which have caused many problematic situations and an instability of the systems in these countries. Cyber attacks are normal in the era we live in now, but the reasons for these attacks still vary from the most diverse, such as: political blackmail, blackmail of other kinds or even blackmail for monetary benefits. Our research considers 7 countries of the Balkans: Kosovo, North Macedonia, Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzergovina, and Croatia. The main analysis focuses on the treatment of policies to protect against cyber attacks and strategies that these countries have with the aim of protecting against cyber attacks, which were on a large scale during the last period. All data has been collected during real time and the countries are ranked according to the level of exposure to the risk. The purpose of this research is to know the current situation in the Balkans and to identify the types of attacks directed at these countries, also some investigations into the current strategies have been proposed. The paper uses methods of analysis and synthesis, comparative methods, as well.
