Regarding public-private partnership (PPP) practice in Slovakia, the previous year was significant for the launch or continuation of tender procedures on the basis of which the state has been seeking to involve the private sector in the financing of large infrastructure projects for the first time. This was in line with the government¹s plans to speed up the process of construction of the highway infrastructure by way of PPP. More specifically, the subject matter of these tenders is the procurement of construction, operation and maintenance of highways and an electronic toll system for lorries weighing more than 3.5 tonnes.
