Tim za socijalno uključivanje i smanjenje siromaštva

Assistant Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government of the Government of the Republic of Serbia Marina Dražić said on 2 October that 30 percent fewer paper extracts were issued this year compared to the last, meaning that citizens have spent less time in queues before counters and paid fewer fees for paper-based extracts, because the state did this for them.

Dražić explained that citizen records and registries are being digitized, i.e. transferred into electronic form so that data from them could be exchanged between institutions and services, and added that this task is nearly finished since 98 percent of the data from registries has been transferred into electronic form.

The crowning achievement of our work will be the Central Population Register. We are working on this task together with the Office for IT and the Office of the Prime Minister. It will be a comprehensive register, with all data on citizens currently found in various registries, noted Dražić.

The bodies and services will, she announced, be able to access data for services they provide to citizens based on official duties, and any change in any records will automatically be updated in the Central Population Register.

She said that in this way citizens will not be submitting numerous items of documentation to exercise a right under a given procedure, instead the bodies will, under their official capacity, rapidly and economically obtain all required data from the Central Population Register.
