Abstract: Synchronized efforts in the field of monitoring and control activities of the
company in the market, as well as activities of the state, are precondition of the existence of
effective competition policy. State aid as a form of selective government interventions aimed
to individual companies, sectors and regions, can distorts competition in the market. Hence,
the establishment and consistent implementation of the system of controlling state aid as an
important part of the competition policy are necessary. The theoretical - methodological base
of the system of controlling state aid is exposed in this research. The concept of state aid is
determined precisely and the steps in the process of system building are systematized. The
study further highlights compatibility between state aid control and protection of competition.
A wide range of effects of state aid on competition process requires consideration of potential
changes in costs, revenue, market behavior and market share of ...state aid beneficiaries. Valid
conclusions about the impact of state aid on competition and social welfare are formulated in
the research by extending standard microeconomic model with assumption of state aid. The
EU system of state aid control is identified and analyzed as the most efficient existing system.
Understanding its legal basis is a good starting point in designing of national system of state
aid control. Identifying the trend in the European Commission work, as the body responsible
for the state aid control in the EU, allows the formulation of guidelines for future action of
national monitoring authorities. Review of achieved results in the system of state aid control
in Serbia, as a new theoretical and practical concept, is carried out through comparison with
the EU system and the systems of the countries in the region. In this way, we systematized
the existing deficiencies and formulated recommendations for further development that
would lead to increased transparency and efficiency of the Serbian system. Comparative
examination of trends in granted state aid pointed to negative deviations in Serbia in relation
to good practice of European Union. We identified areas to which Serbia should direct state
aid in the future.
The objective of doctoral dissertation is pointing out the great importance of the
system of controlling state aid as the field of competition policy and the need for a serious
approach to the process of its construction. The purpose of the research is identifying
existing weaknesses and possible directions of further development of system in Serbia. In
accordance with the objective and the purpose of the research, various methods are applied in
iv
this study. The method of comparative legal analysis is widely used in comparison obtained
solutions in Serbia with the country in the region and with the best international practice.
Microeconomic models, with their extension by assumption of existence of state aid, were
used to isolate channels of impact of state aid on competition. Statistical methods (descriptive
statistics, cluster analysis, correlation analysis) allowed the identification of the causal
relations between researched variables. The graphical representation is used to make
conclusion about relevant regularities of manifestation of the state aid on the basis of existing
data. The research presents more complete analytical coverage of issues of state aid control,
which is new in domestic scientific and professional community. Research results created the
basis for learning from positive and negative experiences of countries that regulated this very
important issue (for both, protecting competition and the efficient use of public funds) much
earlier than Serbia.
