The package is to include new bills and concept document, contributing to the defence of the EU and its members, the Government Office said.
“Within the preparation of cyber security, the Czech Republic has been in top places. It has achieved this thanks to its high quality legislation, developing capacity and the participation of the private sector and other actors,” it added.

Friday will be devoted to the digital summit with the main topics of Internet security, electronisation of the services offered by the state, the development of digital economy, the data flow and support for digital society.
