Even though the Constitution of the Republic of Macedonia and the Law on
Personal Data Protection (LPDP), the Criminal Code, Law on Organization and
Operation of State Administrative Bodies and other laws recognize and protect
the rights of privacy, data protection and secrecy of communications, the
implementation of these protections has met with major difficulties during 2008.

The authors also analyzed the respective National IS Strategies, especially those parts which cover realization of eGovernment concepts. This study analyzes the action plans level of implementation and also presents several issues given by Stability Pact eSEE initiative.

By analyzing current situation the authors identify real essential problems and provide guidelines for better implementation of eGovernment services in WBC.
