In order to enable the citizens of the Republic of Macedonia to be factors in the Information Society, it will be necessary to create coherent policies so that all sectors will be able to offer e-services that will be unified, standardised, user-friendly, irrespective of the software platform, available for all citizens regardless of their location and social status, taking the citizens'needs into account, whilst ICTtools shall assist the citizens in their participation in all social processes, as well as in the process of decision-making at a local and national level. An important precondition for implementation of the strategic objectives is adoption of a legislation harmonised with the international conventions and agreements to which the Republic of Macedonia had acceded to or had ratified. It is of utmost importance that a special Law on Information Society is enacted, by which an institutional framework for founding of an Information Society Agency, an Inter-ministerial Council and a National Council will be established, as well as adoption of legislation entirely harmonised with the EU Directives related to information society and knowledgebased economy. The CIT and the National Task Force for Information Society1 shall continue with coordination of activities for information society building until the previously stated institutions and bodies become operational. 1 A Task Force, established with the Project for Formulation of a National Strategy on Information Society Technologies for Development, consisting of 31 experts from Governmental institutions, the private sector, education and science, as well as the civil sector NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR INFORMATION SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT AND ACTION PLAN
