| Summary: | The article analyzes the economic and financial relations between countries of the Balkan region, on the one hand, and the ones of the European Union, as well as, the United States of America, China and Russia, on the other hand. In contemporary information society, entirely, or partially forgotten symbols can be forerunners of changes in socio-economic structures. As Karl Gustav Jung said, “color and symbol rule the world because they are faster than thought”. Different countries and regions have their own symbols. Griffin, a flying lion, for instance, was a symbol of Tartaria, then it appeared to be a national symbol of Bulgarian and Romanian national currency. The symbol determines the cyclical nature of social and political processes and symbolizes political behavior that can be «unreasonable» in the opinion of the Italian sociologist and economist V. Pareto. Investigating the sense of political cycles and their symbols is of huge interest for modern researchers.
