Public administration reform, better known as the New Public Management - NPM, which began in the mid-1970s, had a key impact on the development of modern public administration. The NPM emphasizes the economic values of public administration, to the detriment of its other values. Public Private Partnership- PPP is one of the basic elements of NPM doctrine. PPP is a partnership between the public and private sector that aims to provide a service traditionally provided by the public sector. An integral part of every PPP is the Value for Money methodology. The “Value for money”- VfM method emerged in this process of public administration reform, first in the UK. The document of the British Government Private Finance Initiative (PFI) from the year 1992, presented the basis for the creation of a new so-called “Venture”, which at that time was called a joint venture, and which is today known as PPP. PPP is a relatively new institute that has existed in the Republic of Serbia since 2011. In this paper, we will deal with the application of the VfM methodology in PPP projects related to street lighting in the Republic of Serbia, and try to give answer about social and economic justification of PPP and potential economic savings that can be achieved in the public sector through the implementation of PPP. At the present time, when there is more and more talk about the need for environmental protection, sustainable development and energy efficiency, PPP projects can have an increasing importance in this area. For this reason, we have limited the application of VfM methods in PPP projects in the Republic of Serbia only to street lighting projects which provide the mentioned goals.

Public-private partnership (PPP) is a method for developing sustainable development that has been proven worldwide and endorsed in practice, and its ultimate aim is to increase the overall well-being of society. In a variety of ways, it brings together the interests of the public, private and civil sector in meeting specific needs for augmenting the quality and/or availability of services and products The European Union (UN) has not always supported the co-financing of projects devised as PPP. Recently, however, it has begun to encourage a wider application of this form of financing that demonstrates a huge potential in accomplishing public services, that is, projects intended for the public. Marketing and promotion, product development, education, financing and investment, and environmental protection are but some of the areas of public-private collaboration in tourism in a global setting. The purpose of this paper is to provide an outline of world experience and practice in PPP with emphasis on the EU, so that Croatia, by taking under consideration these experiences, advantages and disadvantages, may define an appropriate legal and business framework and identify the criteria for the successful implementation of PPP in its economy, and in particular, in tourism, one of its highest-growth industries.

Public service buildings procured based on the traditional model and those procured according to the PPP model are compared in the scope of research involving nine buildings realized in the Republic of Croatia. The results point to greater efficiency of the PPP model in the construction of public service buildings, with regard to both cost and time of construction work.

The current economic situation leads to significant changes in the social sector of society. Formerly owned by the state, the infrastructure objects are transferred to private companies, the state reserving the right to regulate and monitor the subsequent activities of these objects. The public-private partnership is based on the cooperation between the public partner and the private partner to increase the efficiency of the public patrimony, each partner assuming concrete risks, innovations, and responsibilities.The Republic of Moldova development required the introduction of innovative management tools for implementing state and regional development strategies, such as the new format of specific programs, strategies for developing regional clusters, the introduction of public-private partnership principles. Governments understood that PPPs could help overcome the situation in the Republic of Moldova when medium and long-term financing sources with a maturity of 3 years are virtually inaccessible within the existing banking system. This situation, combined with a constant lack of financial resources in the budget, suggests that the initiation of the PPP is an alternative tool to further the country's infrastructure development.The article reviews the local legal valences on the public-private partnerships as an economic tool for innovative directions of development and the main weaknesses of the Republic of Moldova framework.

The paper deals with the transitory provisions of the Public-Private Partnership Act that strongly interferes with the legal status of the public enterprises in Slovenia. According to this Act, there are merely two options for public enterprises in which there are private equity stakes. A public enterprise can be transformed into a company in accordance with the Companies Act, or the public enterprise status can be retained, provided that the private equity stakes are in a way nullified in the public enterprise, and that only the equity stakes owned by the Republic of Slovenia or local communities remain. The Act expressly refers to an option of terminating the private equity stakes through an own shares fund. By analysing the Companies Act, the author states that in practice, the procedure for acquiring own shares is most relevant due to their withdrawal. Thus, the share capital is reduced. In this case, the companies have two options. In the first option, the companies may withdraw their shares by following a simplified procedure. When doing so, they must have reserved profits at their disposal to use them for this purpose instead of dividing them among shareholders. In the second option, the companies may also withdraw their shares chargeable to quality funds, i.e., fixed-term categories of capital. However, in so doing, they must carry out all the necessary procedures for protecting creditors, which delays the whole transaction.
