The Ministry says in a statement that the document, which will establish a framework for future cooperation between the two states in this sector, was signed as part of a Serbian delegation’s visit to South Korea, led by Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic.
The cooperation will primarily refer to regulations in the telecommunications sector, development of broadband internet access, the shift from analogue to digital television, the management of the spectrum of radio frequencies and development human resources and information security.
As for the significance of this agreement, Matic underlined that it is second only to agreements signed with the EU, adding that its goal is close cooperation between states in the telecommunications sector.
Taking into account the high level of development of telecommunications in the Republic of Korea, she expressed the hope that this experience will help Serbia meet the targets in the development strategy for electronic communication and information society, which will be Serbia’s Digital Agenda until 2020, the adoption of which is expected in July.
On the basis of the signed agreement, Matic announced that joint projects will be defined in the next few weeks.
