The document was signed at CCIS by the acting director of the Customs Administration Milos Tomic and the president of CCIS Marko Cadez, who announced that CCIS would start issuing a total of 20 more electronic documents starting from September 1.

- Our mutual goal is to enable the economy to operate more easily and do its job, that is, to more easily receive confirmations, assurances, opinions, certificates and other documents needed for everyday business activities – said Cadez.

Cadez emphasized that the agreement on the business and technical cooperation with the Customs Administration was the result of hard practical work and that it would give new value to the cooperation between the two institutions.

He added that CCIS annually issued around 120,000 various certificates and documents, so the issuing of three groups of confirmations, assurances, opinions and certificates in electronic form would make business operations significantly easier, because those documents used to be issued in paper form, which was very time-consuming.

Milos Tomic emphasized that the goal of the Customs Administration was to make the customs procedure as simple and quick as possible and to make the institution a service for the economy and to make it easier for entrepreneurs to work in order to improve the economic ambiance in Serbia.

Among the documents which will be issued by CCIS in electronic form from September 1 are certificates of origin in public procurement procedures and confirmations of goods not being produced in the country or not being produced in necessary amounts and quality.

Numerous import and export documents will also be issued in electronic form, as will certificates for controlling private security services, filling out forms online, digital signing of requests by the submitting party and forwarding electronically signed documents to the information system of the Customs Administration.
