Working together to create better, safer Internet for all
Belgrade,
9 February 2026
Speaking at the conference, which was also attended by Minister of Information and Telecommunications Boris Bratina and Coordinator of the National Contact Centre for Child Safety on the Internet Emina Beković, Macut emphasised that it is therefore important that we work together – parents, teachers, institutions and children, because only through joint efforts can we create a better and safer internet for all.
The International Safer Internet Day reminds us of how important it is for the internet to be a space of knowledge, support and trust, and above all a safe place for children, the Prime Minister pointed out.
According to him, the Internet is a part of everyday life, a place where children learn, socialise and discover the world, and the responsibility of the state and society is to ensure that this world is safe and that children are protected, respected and encouraged in it, and not exposed to risks and fear.
The Prime Minister underlined that the state, through education, prevention and institutional protection, is working to ensure that the Internet is an ally, not a threat.
The International Safer Internet Day under the slogan "Together for a Better Internet" is celebrated in 180 countries worldwide.
Threats to the safety of children online can be reported to the National Contact Centre for Child Safety on the Internet, established by the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications, at telephone number 19833.
