It was established that the part of local governments did not realize properly the public-private cooperation. For the realization and the co-financing of undertakings by both public entities and private partners, an ignorance of concomitance principles constitutes the serious barrier of public-private cooperation. One should prepare and publish examples of best practices about public-private cooperation.
