In his presentation on the topic Sharing knowledge in a context of crises and uncertainty - the case of Serbia, Ambassador Grbić presented the results achieved so far in the field of digitization of public administration in Serbia, and spoke about positive examples of cooperation with Korea in this regard, as well as in the field of information and communication technologies.

He briefly presented the work of the Office for IT and eGovernment under the Government of the Republic of Serbia, the state DATA centre in Kragujevac, as well as the successes of the so-called SKIP centre in Belgrade (with plans to open the next one in Niš).

At the end of the presentation, the Ambassador referred to the possible future cooperation with Korea as regards KSP, while the topics of smart cities, climate change, energy policy, bioeconomy and urban mobility were singled out.
