The signing ceremony was attended by Albanian Minister of Finance Ridvan Bode and the Austrian ambassador Florian Raunig in Tirana.
Bode said the project was part of Albania's e-government program that is funded by Austria under a bilateral agreement of financial cooperation signed on Dec. 7, 2010.
Austria allocated a soft loan of 10.3 million euros (US$ 13.4 million) through Erste Bank to Albania for the project. Raunig said similar agreements in support of the Albanian government would be applied in other areas such as healthcare.
