"Wiretapping won't be part of Telekom"

The wiretapping equipment owned by Telekom Serbia and used by intelligence agencies should become independent of that company. This is the case because potential buyers of Telekom are not interested in the system, Serbian Minister of Telecommunications and Information Society Jasna Matic clarified on Wednesday. "Wiretapping won't be part of Telekom" "The system is a small part of Telekom's business and for a potential buyer, it is more of a hassle than an attractive property," Matic told reporters and added that detaching the system from the company will not be difficult. According to her, a working group has been formed to regulate how the system will operate once Telekom is sold and make sure it stays government-owned. The group will not will not handle the financial and property details of the transformation. "We have been tasked with detaching the system, and we have prepared a specification of the system and how it can operate independently," Matic noted.
