March 7 (BTA) - Deputy Prime Minister Tomislav Donchev
Thursday opened the 20th annual conference on electronic
government. In his address to the event Donchev said that the
most important task now is the introduction of electronic
identification to go hand in hand with the new ID documents.

Donchev said that piecemeal solutions where each entity
introduces its own software solutions do not produce results.
Instead, the work must be adequate and legally founded. He said
also that without political will and without permanent civil
pressure, the electronic government is not going to be attained.
 
According to Donchev, the main registers in this country, which
he said number 50-60, should be made to communicate among them
electronically. In his words, these main registers are a small
part of all registers maintained by the administration, which
number more than 17,0000. It is another matter altogether
whether so many registers are needed, Donchev said.

The Deputy Prime Minister compared the introduction of
electronic government to the restoration of a building where the
 most complex aspect is that the work should be carried out
without disruption of the lives of the people inside. IG/ZH
