Dacic: MUP, Motorola continue partnership - the TETRA system is important to many end users
Interior Minister Ivica Dacic has stated that Motorola and the Serbian MUP will continue cooperation in modernization of information and communication systems.
He made the statement after holding a meeting with the U.S. company's management in Chicago.
The Interior Ministry (MUP) and Motorola have an agreement on strategic partnership, and several years ago they launched a project implementing TETRA system, which enables crypto-protected transfer of information on the territory of Serbia.
About 40 percent of the project has been realized so far, and what we should do in the future includes covering the whole territory of Serbia with the system, Dacic said late on Monday.
TETRA system enables crypto-protected transfer of information, and it also provides a number of users such as the army, electric power industry, first aid, fire department or anyone else with a fully independent system of data transfer, the minister reported.
Dacic, said that it was also agreed that Motorola will seek Serbian companies with developed software technology in order to invest in them.
Our interest is to develop latest technologies with the strategic partner in other fields as well, he said, adding that he got acquainted with the work of an emergency response command center in Chicago.
Dacic, who is ending his several-day visit to the United States, said on Monday at a reception at the Serbian Consulate General in Chicago that the alliance and partner relation between Serbia and the U.S. should be developed, certainly not at the expense of other nations, but rather taking into account legitimate national and state interests of Serbia.
