Jasna Matic at today's press conference
Matic addressed a press conference following the session and recalled that the e-government project, for which companies ComTrade and Telekom Srbija were engaged, was financed from the National Investment Plan with RSD 27 million, that is, RSD 31 million with VAT.
She announced that next week all ministers will receive mobile phones to which session agendas will be forwarded and through which they will be able to access the items on their agenda.
Until now around 500,000 sheets of paper were printed for each session and ten cartridges for printers were used, the Minister said, adding that the costs of introducing e-government will be paid off in less than a year.
She said that a small portion of documents will nevertheless still be printed, namely confidential documents whose use in electronic form is complicated due to safety reasons.
Matic said that the regulation should enter parliamentary procedure already tomorrow and added that this law together with the Law on electronic signatures will shorten all procedures in public administration and increase their transparency.
Matic announced that the next step is to introduce the electronic system into the judiciary and other parliamentary organs in order to increase their efficiency and cut state costs.
This will make procedures much more transparent and the opportunity for corruption will be decreased, she concluded.
