Abstract

This article is an attempt to analyze critical infrastructure protection in Serbia and the role of private security. This is undertaken with an understanding that critical infrastructure protection is quite a new concept in Serbia because the critical infrastructure assets, networks, and security providers were previously those of state companies or public enterprises. By first offering a short history of the development of private security in Serbia in the last two decades, we try to analyze the current situation in Serbian after introducing readers to a European approach to critical infrastructure protection. Adopting the CoESS1 definition of critical infrastructure, we discuss a previous CoESS white paper on public‐private partnerships in critical infrastructure protection. We conclude by trying to identify the main conditions for more intensive and efficient public‐private partnerships in the field of critical infrastructure protection and security.
