The appointment clearly shows that Serbia is recognised as a country that is working fast and supports the development of broadband Internet access, and it also promotes its importance.
Matic, who attended the meeting in Ohrid at the invitation of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), said that membership in this commission is a great recognition and confirmation that Serbia can show significant results.
One of the examples that confirm this is the UN E-Government Survey which was published on 1 March 2012.
This document cites Serbia as one of the three countries that made the greatest progress in this field in the past two years and was ranked 51st among 190 countries of the world.
The names of Serbia and Jasna Matic stand on equal footing next to the greatest world’s names in the field of telecommunication and information society.
ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Toure said that broadband Internet continues to top the global political agenda, and great strides are being made towards achieving the goals set by the commission at the last year’s summit in Geneva.
After visiting Ohrid, Toure will, as a guest of the Serbian Directorate for Digital Agenda, stay in Belgrade from 3-5 April where he will attend the founding of the National commission on broadband access and digital development.
