For achieving this objective, a special questionnaire was created. As a method of analysis partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used. The sample was formed of 593 students from three universities (Belgrade, Ruse and Craiova). The results reveal that both factors have a positive, but not a significant relationship with entrepreneurial intentions. In addition, in order to examine whether there are significant differences in the path coefficients between these three countries, partial least squares multigroup analysis (PLS-MGA) was employed. According to the results of MGA, it can be said that Family support has a stronger impact on students’ Entrepreneurial intentions in Serbia and Romania, compared to Bulgaria. Regarding Emotional Intelligence, the situation is the same. The greater impact of this variable is visible in Serbia, compared to Bulgaria and Romania.enentrepreneurial intentionsfamily supportemotional intelligenceMGAconferenceObject
