E-government in the modern administrative system and in the Republic of Serbia

Recognizing the importance of ICT, many international organizations have begun to view e-Government as a global phenomenon and a means to achieve 'good governance', to improve the quality of public service delivery, and to improve the system of public administration. In the global context of e- Government, Serbia has made significant first steps. Yet, it is obvious that the establishment of e-Government entails numerous challenges.
