A list of 50 to 100 deficit occupations that could be filled by foreign workers is being prepared. Jelena Jevtović from the Union of Employers of Serbia said earlier that the key difference is that the National Employment Service will not have to issue approval for those profiles.
How many are domestic? workers left Serbia looking for a job abroad there is no record. In the opposite direction, more and more workers are coming to Serbia from various parts of the world. According to data from the National Employment Service, from January to October 10, 16.124 work permits were issued foreign citizens. Unofficially, there are many more. The working group for the law on the employment of foreigners is preparing a list of 50 to 100 deficit occupations that could be filled by workers from abroad. writes RTS.
What used to be the daily life of many European cities is increasingly common in Serbia as well. There are more and more foreigners in the service industry, so even in Belgrade restaurants people order in English.
"Many people ask where I'm from, I speak a little Serbian and English." It's not difficult," says Indonesian waitress Rijali Anisivara.
She is married to a Serb, speaks three other languages. He likes quality food. Vira, as her colleagues call her, works in a restaurant where she is not the only foreigner employed.
"I am very happy to hire people from other countries, they bring a different organizational culture and thereby enrich it." We are doing better, we are getting stronger as a team, which is very important in the business we are in," notes restaurant owner Vesna Nedeljković.
Deficit of workers - a solution in the law
For jobs for which there are no workers, a solution is sought through the Law on Employment of Foreigners. For the first time, the working group is creating a list of 50 to 100 deficit occupations that foreigners can do.
"According to the current regulations, the employer can get a confirmation from the National Employment Service that there is no domestic citizen who can do a certain job. However, (persons who are qualified for) occupations that are on that list will be able to get a job without it," explains Jelena Jevtović from the Union of Employers of Serbia.
He states that analyzes are done for various professions, from civil engineers, electrical engineers, electrical engineers, to construction jobs. He adds that Germany has the same problem.
"Educational policies should be conducted strategically, to reflect the determination of the state as desired by the labor market," she said earlier for FORBES Serbia Jelena Jevtović added that the key difference is that the NES will not have to issue approval for those profiles.
Number of foreign workers in Serbia
As "Vreme" previously wrote during the 251 performed inspections, labor inspectors found a total of 7781 foreign nationals at work, of which 867 did not have a work permit in the Republic of Serbia. Of those 867 workers, 687 are from Turkey, 36 from China, 24 from Cuba, 26 from India, nine from the Russian Federation, 14 from Turkmenistan, 15 from Uzbekistan, 22 from Egypt, and three are citizens of Tajikistan...
Of those who were caught working last year, most of them were from the People's Republic of China, 5952 of them, followed by Turkey - 1183, Egypt 256...
450 foreign citizens, mostly Turkish citizens, 335 of them, were found to be working "on the black", without a concluded employment contract and/or without applying for mandatory social insurance.
The example of Germany and Austria
Last year, Germany adopted a law on the immigration of skilled workers and eases entry into the German labor market, to some extent independent of formal qualifications.
RTS correspondent from Germany Nenad Radičević says that, if the time of the coronavirus pandemic is excluded, the number of people who get a job and come to live in Germany increases by a fifth.
"Of those 419.000 people, practically one in four is from the Western Balkans - around 105.000, among whom are around 21.000 people from Serbia." Most of them come on the basis of the Western Balkans rule, which allows citizens of the countries of the region to come to Germany even without recognized professional qualifications and language skills if they find a job," Radičević points out.
How many workers left Serbia, temporarily or permanently, is unknown because many work illegally.
In Austria last year, there were 98 occupations on the list at the federal level (and 197 at the provincial level). As in Germany, there is a great demand for various types of craftsmen, but also for doctors, IT specialists, electrical engineers and various other profiles that require higher education.
