Foreign direct investments play a vital role in generating economic growth. National governments as well as local communities therefore need an appropriate strategy for attracting foreign direct investments on the one hand and maximizing their benefits on the other. In the proposed chapter, authors discuss the development and effects of foreign direct investments on local communities of Slovenia and Serbia. Based on data gathered through a questionnaire, a comparative statistical analysis was used to find stylized facts, which could be a sign of a different stage of transition in both countries. The study was conducted at the end of 2014, and the sample consists of 66 communities from Slovenia and 61 communities from Serbia. The study proves that the more progressive path of transition in Slovenia was not offset by a significantly higher level of foreign direct investment activities. In both countries, however, foreign direct investments proved to have mostly positive effects on the economic development of the local communities concerned.
