Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Society (Serbia)
The Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Society (Ministarstvo telekomunikacija i informacionog društva) was a government ministry in Serbia responsible for developing and implementing policies related to telecommunications, information technology, and the information society.
Its responsibilities typically included:
- Telecommunications Infrastructure: Oversight of the development and maintenance of telecommunications infrastructure, including fixed-line and mobile networks.
- Information Technology: Promotion of the use of information technology in government, business, and society. This could involve initiatives to improve digital literacy, support the development of the IT industry, and encourage the adoption of new technologies.
- Information Security: Ensuring the security of information systems and protecting against cyber threats.
- Regulation: Developing and enforcing regulations related to telecommunications and the information society.
- International Cooperation: Representing Serbia in international organizations and forums related to telecommunications and information technology.
The Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Society no longer exists as a standalone entity. Its functions have likely been absorbed into other ministries within the Serbian government, possibly the Ministry of Trade, Tourism, and Telecommunications, or a ministry with a similar mandate focused on digital affairs and e-governance.
