At the opening of a regional conference on fighting cybercrime at the Sava Centre, Stojkovic said that the individual country cannot provide proper protection by way of its regulations because cybercrime knows no state borders.
He said that Serbian parliament should ratify the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention which has already been ratified by 19 countries.
According to Stojkovic, the sharing of experiences at the conference that gathered representatives of 12 countries in the region is of great importance because new aspects of cybercrime are more dangerous, faster and more efficient in tearing society apart.
The justice minister said that in July 2005 Serbia adopted the Law on organisation and competencies of state organs for fighting cybercrime and set up the special prosecutor’s office and district court and police departments in charge of this area.
Special representative of the Secretary General of the Council of Europe Denis Huber said that cybercrime is a global challenge which requires a general solution.
According to him, existing instruments for combating cybercrime are not adequate and that cooperation and exchange of information among experts is crucial.
Head of the Department of Crime Problems of the Directorate General for Legal Affairs Alexander Seger said that Serbia will certainly set an example in combating cybercrime.
The conference which closes on March 21 is being organised by the European Commission, Council of Europe and the Serbian Ministry of Justice.
