Abstract
This paper examines the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) of Western Balkan countries using the entropy-based TOPSIS method. The analysis reveals significant differences in digital performance, with Montenegro ranked highest and North Macedonia lowest. The findings demonstrate the applicability of the entropy-based TOPSIS method for assessing multidimensional index such as DESI, offering policymakers valuable insights into priority areas for digital development. The study provides a foundation for future research and strategies to enhance regional digital transformation.
