Belgrade, March 10, 2010 (Serbia Today) – First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Ivica Dacic and Minister of Telecommunications and Information Society Jasna Matic visited the Savski Venac police station and had their qualified certificates linked to their ID cards.
Dacic stressed that Serbian citizens who have been issued with ID cards with a biometric chip will also be able to have their qualified certificates linked to their ID cards. This will enable them to use their ID cards for electronic signatures or identification in the virtual world. He noted that the adoption of the amendment to the decree on the data included in the ID card and the decree on registering the Ministry of the Interior’s Certificate Authority in the registry of qualified certificate authorities will enable all citizens to get free-of-charge digital signature certificates in police stations, provided they have been issued with ID cards with a biometric chip.
Dacic said this will enable citizens to address the state in most cases when necessary in an electronic way with their ID card, sign their petitions with the qualified certificate and get an answer from the state. This will make queues at the counters shorter and citizens will have quicker and more efficient communication with the state. Matic said that the portal of the Serbian government’s electronic administration will start with its work next month and emphasized the great importance of electronic administration, as it reduces time and costs in getting certain documents, transparency is increased and the opportunity for corruption reduced.
