For the analysis, 10 countries were selected, which joined the European Union in 2004, in other words, named as “A10” countries. MULTIMOORA proved that the financial system is a complex system, with interrelations between objectives and alternatives that are taken into account at the same time and ,different values of the indicators, representing a particular group of indicators.
