On 10 April 2003 the Albanian Government approved the Strategjia Kombetare e Teknologjive te Informacionit dhe Komunikimit (National Strategy of the Information and Communications Technologies), a document which supports the government's program for the country's development until 2005.

The "Strategy" determines ways for the effective use of new information technologies and means of communication, in order to nurture the economic capacities as well as to develop the democratic reforms regarding the Association and Stabilization Agreement between Albania and the European Union.

The "Strategy" is expected to be passed by the Parliament to enable the compilation of a governmental working document.
