“Until ten years ago, one could not have imagined that government sessions would take place online, but the pandemic showed the opposite. The public administration is ready, but I am not sure about the other actors in the society and why they refuse to go online”, said Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Fatmir Bytyqi at the first panel at the 10th North Macedonia 2025 Summit. According to Bytyqi, digitisation will be one of the capital investments projected in the Budget, and the benefits are yet to be felt. No process, especially the digitisation in the public sector, business and citizens, should not be a short-term solution, said Bytyqi. Bytyqi says the Ministry of Information Society and Administration is planning to allocate €20 million for digitisation.
