Belgrade/Vienna,
4 July 2018
Minister of Finance Sinisa Mali pointed out today in Vienna at the meeting of the ministers of economy within the framework of the Berlin process, that digitisation is one of the priorities of the Serbian government and that much has been done in that area.
Speaking at the panel "A common approach to the digitised Western Balkans", Mali said that IT industry generates 10 percent of our country's GDP and that it is recording high growth rates year in year out.
This year alone we have made almost €1 billion in export thanks to that industry, and I am especially pleased that a large number of young people see their future in this business. It is our obligation to employ these people and to give them the opportunity to fulfil their dreams in our country, Mali stated.
Noting that programming classes have been introduced to both elementary and secondary schools, Mali underlined that as of this year 1,750 schools have safe Internet, which is very important because in that way we show that we care for our children and young people.
