Concessions and Public-Private Partnership: Regulatory Framework (ME0014)

Special care will be dedicated to the improvement of concessions and development of the public-private partnership model. The Government of Montenegro will set a regulatory framework for the public-private partnership and concessions in cooperation with consultants of SIGMA, and such framework will be aligned with the European standards and UNECE standards. Consequently, said regulation would enable public access to the following data from contracts: name of the public-sector partner or grantor; name of the private partner or Concessionaire; description of the subject-matter of a contract and start date for the project implementation; signing date of a contract and its duration; location of contracted activities. An enabling regulation will be prepared to address these needs that would govern the functioning of the register of contracts, to provide detailed explanation of procedures for contracts submission and disclosure of data. Access to information will be in line with special regulations governing data protection and trade secrets.
