Summary/Abstract: One of the most important areas of European integration is the one related to public procurements and public-private partnerships. Although Serbia-EU negotiations in Chapter 5 are opened among the first, at a time when the relevant regulations have already been significantly harmonized with the Union's, the current state of negotiations is far from desired. Year after year, the European Commission repeats the same key recommendations, noting not only omissions and delays, as can often be found in other negotiating chapters, but also on actions that constitute an open violation of the principles of competition and equal treatment in concluding the most valuable deals. In addition, “public procurements” are treated as one of the eight “most risky” areas for corruption in the Action Plan for Chapter 23.
