The .ME Registry Passes Eight Hundred Thousand Domain Registrations Milestone

The .ME Registry announced today that its ccTLD has passed 800,000 domain registrations. Since its launch in 2008 Montenegro’s country code domain has been marketed as a premier choice for building a personal brand and it quickly became one of the favorite new extensions among creative individuals who want to stand out online. The domain has continued to grow steadily in response to the global trend of nurturing personal identity online.

Montenegro's Ministry of Economy and Crnogorski Telekom has signed a MoU for Digital Montenegro, which represents a framework for further development of the infrastructure, the Next Generation Networks and the application of concrete ICT systems, in order to improve the efficiency of services and quality of life of citizens.

Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet stated that Estonia has good experiences in developing and utilising information and communications technology and the success of our e-solutions is an example of how technology can help to advance democracy.

"Estonia is prepared to share its experiences in the e-governance and e-involvement sectors with other countries," he stated.

At the Round Table, the State Secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration Dejan Abazovic and Head of the Directorate for Interoperability of Registries and Regulatory Affairs, Bojana Bajić, spoke.
