NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR INFORMATION SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT AND ACTION PLAN 18 Infrastructure development plans in the public administration should be implemented in cooperation with the scientific institutions and Universities by using advanced technologies. Besides of the Government, MARNET should also have the leading role for this part with support of the private and public sector. Awareness raising and dissemination of knowledge related to the opportunities and advantages from ICT usage both among the public administration employees and services, and among beneficiaries, is of utmost importance for the information society development. 2.1.3 Strategic measures and responsible authorities The usage of information-communication technologies shall improve the quality, availability and promptness of the public administration operations related to the citizens' needs, and with that, shall increase the efficient work of the public sector institutions. The dynamics of activities to be carried out in the infrastructure part is divided into long-term and short-term activities. Short-term activities The short-term activities have been covered with the Action Plan till 2007. First, it is necessary to create a favourable environment for construction of the necessary backbone infrastructure, and with that, of the information society development. This infrastructure should enable linking of Governmental institutions, which shall offer a variety of electronic services, i.e. create the necessary contents which will influence the increased Internet usage. The number of Internet users will increase if the citizens need and benefit from the electronic services usage, but also the possibility to access those services. The development and management of this infrastructure is responsibility of the Information Society Agency in co-operation with the National and Inter-ministerial Councils. The short-term activities include activities necessary for full market liberalisation, adoption of the necessary legal acts and secondary legislation. This particularly refers to the enforcement of obligations from the Law on Electronic Communications and the Law on Electronic Data and Electronic Signature, in the part for adoption of secondary legislation in order to provide registration of companies that have a prepared system for issuing electronic signature certificates, as accredited publishers. It is necessary to introduce services which require usage of ID-cards (registration of cars, issuing of licences, financial transactions, personal documents, tax payment…). Each Governmental institution, on its own web-site, should offer the citizens an opportunity for electronic services which will be developed and promoted on a long-term basis, thereby increasing the number of Internet users. Furthermore, it is necessary to initiate the operations of the Electronic Communications Agency as soon as possible, since the Agency is to act as a regulatory body on the market for electronic communications and services, whereas it is necessary for the Agency to be structured in an efficient manner in order to be able to meet the requests for regulation and coordination of the overall processes and changes in the electronic communications market.
