This thesis examines the role of the Inspectorate of the City Municipality of Ljubljana in the provision of economic public services in the City Municipality of Ljubljana between 2018 and 2025. The aim was to present the legal and procedural framework within which municipal inspection operates in this field and to identify examples of good supervisory practice. In the theoretical part, the concept of economic public services and the basic characteristics of inspection supervision were defined through a review of the literature and an analysis of legislation and municipal regulations. In the empirical part, publicly available annual data of the inspectorate were analysed and supplemented by an interview with the head of the inspectorate. It was established that supervision is carried out through an interplay of administrative and misdemeanour proceedings, with the choice of procedure depending on the substantive legal basis of the particular field and on the nature of the violation. It was shown that in some economic public services the inspectorate sanctions users through misdemeanour proceedings, while in other fields it also carries out administrative supervision of the provider's work. Preventive action, joint and targeted inspections, and cooperation with providers were identified as examples of good practice. Based on the findings, proposals for improvement aimed at upgrading existing good practices were formulated.
