The electronic platform for the transmission of urgent information to citizens in the event of an announcement or occurrence of a threat of a natural disaster or a technical-technological accident that may threaten the lives and health of people and property in a certain area has been officially put into operation, the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications announced.
The electronic platform will enable citizens to be informed urgently about a dangerous event by sending an SMS message in a precisely defined territory, publishing a notification about a dangerous event by media service providers and text panels on the highway.
The goal is to inform all citizens of the impending danger in the fastest possible way and thereby save their lives and health.
In the coming period, the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will continue intensive work on further system improvements.
Further upgrading of this software solution by the end of 2025 will also provide notification of citizens via CBS (Cell Broadcast System) message.
The Ministry of Information and Telecommunications notes that with parallel notification systems (SMS and CBS), the Republic of Serbia will join the group of only a few countries in Europe that have both ways of warning the public.
The establishment of a system for the transmission of urgent information to citizens was preceded by joint work and the conclusion of an agreement on cooperation between the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
