byФондација Метаморфозис

Today, June 19, 2025, the Committee on transport, digital transformation, environment and spatial planning held its 35th session. A public debate was held at the session on the topic “Draft Law Reform Package for the Digital Transformation of the Republic of North Macedonia,” and the following draft laws were reviewed and discussed: Draft Law on Electronic Communications; Draft Law on the Security of Network and Information Systems; Draft Law on Archives and Archival Activities; and Draft Law Amending and Supplementing the Law on Electronic Documents, Electronic Identification and Trust Services.

In addition to the members and deputy members of the Commission, MPs, the Minister of Digital Transformation, and representatives of line ministries, agencies, constituent bodies, and the business and academic communities, the public hearing was also attended by representatives of civil society. Filip Stojanovski, Partnership and Resource Development Director, and Marijana Jancheska-Ugarkovikj, Project Manager, presented the recommendations and suggestions of the Metamorphosis Foundation regarding the draft laws under discussion.

In her address, Ms. Jancheska-Ugarkovikj emphasized that the Metamorphosis Foundation for Internet and Society supports the process of adopting the package of four laws and welcomes the Parliament’s initiative to include civil society organizations in the process of structured discussions to improve the draft text of the proposed laws.

In her address, Jancheska emphasized that it is important that all envisaged legal solutions are aligned with European regulations, but also adapted to the local context in order to respond to the real challenges of citizens, institutions, and the private sector. She also pointed out the need for clear obligations for the implementation of security measures by institutions, transparency in the processing of sensitive information, accountability of service providers and interoperability of technical solutions.

The Metamorphosis Foundation believes that digital transformation is not just a technological tool, but a prerequisite for efficient, transparent, and accountable administration. To this end, it is necessary to systematically involve civil society organizations and experts in all phases of reforms–from design to evaluation–as well as invest in the capacities of public administration and promote digital literacy among all categories of citizens.
