An analysis of the implemented Action Plan seems to indicate that progress has been made in these three key areas, primarily with regard to e-government. Prerequisites have been established for future development of this field through the passing of relevant legislation, including the Law on e-Government and the Law on Electronic Documents, Electronic Identification and Trust Services in Electronic Transactions, together with the accompanying secondary legislation. These laws introduce legal concepts which will facilitate future development of e-government and etransactions. Furthermore, in the field of health care and the judiciary, information systems have been developed to expedite the work processes, facilitate data exchange and cut red tape expenses. A major achievement is the improvement of ICT infrastructure in the field of education, specifically in primary and secondary schools, as well as in the fields of science and culture, as a precondition for modernisation of education processes through the employment of new technologies which will drive the development of digital services. In the field of e-commerce, normative obstacles to the development of e-commerce have been eliminated through legislative amendments, followed by activities to raise awareness, educate on and promote e-commerce to ensure its further progress. While improvements in the field of information society have been notable, future efforts in this field will have to be stepped up, especially with regard to further improvement of infrastructure, development of electronic services and raising citizens’ awareness and digital skill levels. 1.2 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INFORMATION SECURITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY The Information Security Development Strategy adopted in 2017 aimed to develop and improve information security in the Republic of Serbia and maintain an appropriate level of standards in this field through increased security of information and communication systems, fight against cybercrime and improvement of information security of national importance.
