Round Table on Trends and Developments in IT Supported Systems of Civil Status Registration

As ICPE is devoted to contributing to the global efforts of civil status registration, it organized and hosted today’s Round Table on the Trends and Development in IT Supported Systems of Civil Status Registration, together with its partners GENIS and Interact4C. The event, which was sponsored by the Company Cetis, brought together relevant actors, who deal with certain aspects of civil status registration.

The welcome address was delivered by Mr. Janez Podobnik, ICPE Acting Director General, who warmly welcomed the distinguished State Secretary from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia, Mr. Bogdan Benko, as well as H.E. Mr. Pëllumb Qazimi, Ambassador of Albania, and Mr. Ivan Bizjak, the former Director General for Justice and Home Affairs, Council of EU, and former Ombudsman of the Republic of Slovenia.

The main objective of the round table, which was divided into three panels and was moderated by Ms. Alenka Prvinšek Persoglio, Vice President of Interact4C, was to confront the different views of different actors operating in the domain of civil status and identity documents from the public, as well as the private sector.

ICPE, as an intergovernmental organization with forty years of experience, is pleased to host a round table on the important topic of civil status, whose importance was also reaffirmed on this year’s 3^rd Africa Day organized in May, and to thus facilitate the transfer of knowledge to its 18 member states and beyond.
