The master thesis focuses on examples of public-private partnerships in Slovenia and the European Union. Public-private partnerships represent a wide range of activities and structures. This concept has been accepted and established in many countries around the world as a long-standing approach to fostering cooperation between the two sectors. The first part of this work provides the theoretical background and explanations of PPP, the legal and regulatory framework in Slovenia and the European Union and the different models. This will be important in understanding the examples presented below. Through a comparison, we have presented different PPP projects in Slovenia and the European Union. In doing so, we have explored whether certain projects have been successful and compared good and bad practices.
The thesis concludes that public-private partnerships are an effective mechanism for improving infrastructure and public services and achieving public interest objectives, as in Slovenia and the European Union, for example. Although some challenges may arise during project implementation, many projects are successfully implemented and have positive outcomes for society and communities. Transparency, careful planning, timely monitoring of progress and consistent project implementation are key success factors. Financial efficiency is also very important.
One of the main advantages of PPP is the ability to deliver projects at lower cost while providing a higher level of service through innovation, thus ensuring a cost-effective solution. The public sector is exposed to less risk in these partnerships. Another key advantage of PPPs is that they deliver predictable results, as projects are more likely to be completed on time.
