As a result of the good cooperation between the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Srpska, today's visit was organized with the purpose of final arrangements regarding the inclusion of the Republic of Srpska in the Digital Transformation Knowledge Dissemination Program “Serbia Digitalizes”, as well as the assistance of the Republic of Serbia in the form of 500 digital classrooms in elementary schools in the Republic of Srpska.

 “The exchange of knowledge, ideas and experiences is what we strive for and it is natural for the Republic of Srpska and Serbia, but also crucial for the development of the entire Western Balkans region. It is indisputable that only together we can move forward faster, and today's meeting is another important indicator that the results of the Government of the Republic of Serbia in the field of digitalization and public administration reform are recognized in the region and the world”, said Jovanović.
