Serbia is interested in cooperation with Russia on digitalization issues. Boris Bratina, head of the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications of the country, told Izvestia about this on June 3 on the sidelines of the Digital Industry of Industrial Russia (CIPR) forum in Nizhny Novgorod.

"I see that all plans [for digitalization in the Russian Federation] are underway until 2030. And I see that digitalization will be very developed in Russia. We, Serbia, are interested in cooperation with Russia. Of course, both we and you will have a good outcome from this," he noted.

According to the head of the department, digitalization projects in Russia are being implemented very quickly.
