This open-access book brings together national experts from across the Dinaric region to conduct a rigorous review of the International Education Agency's Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2019 grade four data. The Dinaric region, named after the Dinaric Alps, spans southeastern Europe and extends through Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania, and North Macedonia.

IEA's TIMSS has been a valuable resource for monitoring international trends in mathematics and science achievement at grades four and eight since 1995. The TIMSS 2019 administration of the test to grade four students provided a unique opportunity for analysis within shared regional settings, enabling the construction of this first report based on international study results from the region. Prepared by the National Research Coordinators in collaboration with the IEA, this report offers a multidimensional and culturally sensitive perspective on the TIMSS 2019 primary-level results.

The Dinaric region's designation as such is without prejudice to positions on status and aligns with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244/1999 and the International Court of Justice Opinion on the Kosovo Declaration of Independence.
