The new method of payment is quick and easy and can be used by any citizen or student for the charges made by public offices and universities for various services. It involves an application which enables leading smart phones to effect payment in just three steps.
The School of Information Science and Computer Engineering (Факултетот за информатички науки и компјутерско инженерство - ФИНКИ, in Macedonian) is the first faculty to use this new method of payment. In the future it will be integrated with all student services that involve administrative fees.
Ivo Ivanovski, Minister of Information Society and Administration, was at the launch of the new service, which took place at the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy - Skopje (Технолошко-металуршкиот факултет во Скопје, in Macedonian). He urged institutions and universities to apply to the Ministry for Information Society and Administration (Министерство за информатичко општество и администрација, in Macedonian) to obtain a username and password, and to train the relevant staff to work with the new system and be able to check whether a transaction is successful.
Mr Ivanovski said that his country "is getting closer to the more developed European countries in the application of the information society and we expect that regarding the forthcoming applications to be completed in the next six months we will be up with the leading countries in the European Union."
He also announced that the evaluation of a procurement system for electronic documents that will enable citizens to receive more than 20 documents via computer or telephone is still ongoing.
