The main aim of legislation in the sphere of electronization of public administration, namely the E-Government Act, was to create legal environment for execution of public authorities' competencies electronically, to simplify, speed up, clarify and unify communication processes and at the same time to remove unnecessary fragmentation of legislation in a number of already existing legislation in the area of electronic services by public authorities towards the citizens and public authorities among themselves. This act codifies electronic communication as a key form of communication with public authorities as well as of communication among individual public authorities in addition to historically main, and still crucial and necessary, classical paper form. The E-Government Act establishes a duty for public authorities to execute their competencies electronically while citizens are given a choice of form of communication.

Execution of subjective rights and duties resulting from obligations is ensured by a system of legal guarantees. In the broadest sense, this guarantee is provided through the existence of civil and commercial law itself. In the narrower sense, the civil law guarantees lie in an exact definition of subjective rights and duties that follow in case the duties from obligations were not performed properly and on time. In this concept however, the decisive guarantee remains the ability of the eligible person, i.e. the creditor, to seek judicial protection of his rights. [6] Securities Act distinguishes between safeguarding obligations through contractual and statutory lien as well as through safeguarding transfer of securities. In cases of safeguarding of obligations the rights and duties of participating subjects are primarily following provisions of Securities Act and provisions of Civil Code, Art. 151a through Art. 151me on liens, and Art. 553 through Art. 553e on safeguarding obligations through transfer of rights, are followed as subsidiary regulations.
