This legislation should be created by taking into consideration the legislation of the European Union, the USA and the UN recommendations. Adapting the education for e-business. The educational institutions and enterprises should create a process for joint creation of appropriate curricula, ICT-research support, two-way knowledge transfer, establishment of ICT-labs. Appropriate and accessible infrastructure for e-business implementation. The possibilities for wireless Internet and cable broadband Internet should be developed and accessible, in the city and rural areas, which will provide all business entities with a possibility to be actively involved in the e-business. Enterprises will be able to completely use the opportunities offered by the e-business through this infrastructure, which will minimise the infrastructure obstacles and provide more space for successful realisation of the initiatives and innovations of the enterprises for ebusiness. Creating a body for monitoring and coordination of participants in the business processes for the purposes of appropriate e-business development and implementation in Macedonia. This body would be composed of all of the stakeholders in the e-business processes and would have an active role in the development of e-business and the information society in Macedonia. Based on the available information, this body should offer corrective guidelines and proposals for new plans, measures and actions for successful coordination of the activities in the entire information society, and for achieving and complementing the objectives of the different pillars. Appropriate and available e-banking and e-transaction methods. Banks and other financial institutions are to extend the number of electronic services offered to the enterprises. Special emphasis is to be placed on the complete development of the electronic banking, as well as on the creation of conditions by the banks so as to strongly support the e-banking application by the enterprises.
