SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT AND ACTION PLAN

For achieving an efficient infrastructure development, the following standards referring to the
ICT-operations domain have to be adopted: ISO 12207, ISO 9126, ISO 9294, ISO 1335-5, ISO
15288, ISO17799, ISO 9001-2000. Besides of the introduction of standards, which will contribute
towards common understanding between actors in the process of infrastructure development and
utilisation, it is necessary to create technical-terminology vocabularies referring to the domain of
information-communication technology.
Long-term activities
Providing funds necessary for continuous infrastructure development and building, on a state
level, as well as for international network interconnection.
Long-term activities are to be coordinated with the activities and tasks of the Government
regarding the EU approximation. Given that these are complex tasks, a serious and responsible
approach is necessary towards creation of solutions.
All investors performing works related to construction of infrastructure (road, railway, pipeline etc.)
and facilities are obliged to provide physical space for setting up an electronic communication
infrastructure.
Introduction of mechanisms for encouraging a corporate social responsibility while building
the communication infrastructure, whereby priority shall be given to projects that foresee
construction of infrastructure near institutions of public interest (kindergartens, schools,
hospitals, libraries, pension institutions etc.).
The legislation should not be considered as obstacle for development and introduction of new
technologies; it is necessary to reduce the gap between the regulation and the new trends in
technology, as well as greater flexibility of the legal framework in terms of adopting secondary
legislation which will provide faster introduction of new technologies.
