Almost the entire sector of public utilities in Serbia, which was formed to provide services at the local, regional level and national level, it remained in state ownership,1 including and the most important companies in the field of energy production and transport, telecommunications, air traffic, etc. They are public enterprises employed almost 150,000 people in 2008, which is almost one one-eighth of the total number of employees in Serbian companies.2 Although from at the beginning of the transition, the number of employees in public enterprises decreases, they still represent the largest Serbian employers.
