THE ANALYSIS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN SLOVENIA

Javno-zasebno partnerstvo predstavlja mehanizem in instrument za razvoj države ter obenem povezuje javni in zasebni sektor. Partnerstva so vse pogostejši pojav v evropskih državah in drugje, saj pripomorejo k večjemu gospodarskemu razvoju. Glavni namen partnerstev je delitev tveganja tako na javni kot zasebni sektor in obenem spodbujanje oziroma zagotavljanje zasebne iniciative za upravljanje, financiranje, vodenje, vzdrževanje in prenovo infrastruktur oziroma izvajanje storitev, ki so načeloma v domeni države. Poleg tveganj si sektorja delita tudi koristi. S pomočjo javno-zasebnega partnerstva se povečujejo možnosti vlaganja v obsežnejše in zahtevnejše projekte, ki spodbujajo napredek države in prinašajo finančne koristi ter boljše zadovoljstvo uporabnikov, seveda ob pravilni in uspešni izvedbi. Tako javni in zasebni sektor skupaj dosegata zastavljene cilje. Cilji javnega sektorja so učinkovito in hitro izvajanje javnih nalog v skladu z javnim interesom, medtem ko zasebni sektor prevzame izvedbeno vlogo, ki je učinkovitejša, cenejša, sami pa pridobijo nove poslovne možnosti in udeležbo pri dobičku. V diplomskem delu sem analizirala in raziskala, kako se javno-zasebno partnerstvo razvija v Sloveniji, katere so največje napake pri sklenitvi teh partnerstev ter katere so tiste države, po katerih bi se morala Slovenija zgledovati. Osredotočila sem se tudi na to, kako je Zakon o javno-zasebnem partnerstvu (v nadaljevanju ZJZP) vplival na razvoj javno-zasebnih partnerstev. Dejstvo je, da javni sektor kot tak ni samozadosten, kar se tiče zagotavljanja potrebnih infrastruktur in storitev, ki so v javnem interesu, zato sta posredovanje in vključevanje zasebnega sektorja zaželena in nujna, predvsem zaradi tehnoloških inovacij, ki so temeljna osnova za produktivnost, konkurenčnost in doseganje ciljev. Na podlagi analiz gradiva sem naletela na precej kritik pravnega okvirja, ki regulira javno-zasebna partnerstva v Sloveniji, ter posledično nepravilne in neuspele projekte izvedbe.The public-private partnership is a mechanism and an instrument for the development of the state, and at the same time, it connects the public and private sectors. Partnerships are an increasingly frequent phenomenon in the European countries and elsewhere, as they contribute to greater economic development. The main purpose of partnerships is to share risk both in the public and private sectors and at the same time, to encourage or provide a private initiative for the management, financing, leadership, maintenance, and renovation of infrastructures or the provision of services that are in principle within the domain of the state. In addition to the risks, the sector also shares the benefits. With the help of public-private partnerships, opportunities for investing in larger and more demanding projects are promoted, which promotes the progress of the country and brings financial benefits and better customer satisfaction with a proper and successful implementation, of course. Both the public and private sectors together achieve the set goals. Public sector objectives are an efficient and rapid implementation of public tasks in accordance with the public interest, while the private sector assumes an implementation role that is more effective, cheaper and obtains new business opportunities and profit sharing. In the bachelor’s thesis, I analyzed and investigated how a public-private partnership is developing in Slovenia, which the biggest mistakes in the conclusion of these partnerships are, and what the countries are by which Slovenia should be inspired. I also focused on how the Public-Private Partnership Act (ZJZP) influenced the development of public-private partnerships. The fact is that the public sector is not self-sufficient in the provision of the necessary infrastructures and services in the public interest, so the mediation and involvement of the private sector is desirable and necessary, especially as a result of technological innovations, which are a fundamental basis for productivity, competitiveness, and achieving goals. Based on the analysis, I encountered considerable criticism of the legal framework governing public-private partnerships in Slovenia, and consequently, incorrect and unsuccessful implementation projects
