Minister Pribilović to sign Memorandum of Understanding between European Union and Montenegro on participation in ISA² programme

Minister of Public Administration Suzana Pribilović and European Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society Mariya Gabriel will sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the European Union and Montenegro on Tuesday, 29 May 2018, in Brussels on the participation of Montenegro in the program for interoperability solutions and common frameworks for European public administration, economy and citizens (ISA² programme).

In June 2014, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a new programme to support interoperable solutions for public administrations, businesses and citizens of the EU - ISA², whose overall goal is to achieve full interoperability between the various IT systems provided by electronic public services, both in Member States and at the EU level. Interoperability, electronic governance and open data represent the basis for further modernisation of public administration and increasing the efficiency and quality of public services. In addition, cross-border electronic public services are among the most important, inter alia, services of the internal market, the environment, internal affairs, customs and taxes, health, electronic identity and public procurement.

Montenegro will be enabled to use existing ISA² solutions, as well as planning future activities within the Programme.
