Serbia is luring workers from Africa with Europe and free accommodation, videos on Tik-Tok

"Bye, bye, wonderful people. I have very good news for you," he says TikTok a guy from ghana. "Please share this video with your loved ones. Today we received 22 work visas for Serbia. "

This is how Serbia advertises itself in Africa and entices people to come and work there. This guy is employed in an agency that deals with employment mediation, and they prepare work visas for those interested.

He notes the important thing though - "people, this is not free, you have to pay us, and only then we process your visa".

The best opportunity for Europe

In all videos, the location of Serbia is mentioned as the main bait.

"It's Europe after all, a European country. You want to travel to Europe? This is your best chance," he says.

The girl behind the computer also offers free accommodation and transportation.

"If you want to work in Europe, have free accommodation and transport, as well as special rooms for couples - what are you waiting for?", they say in another video.

They also say that it is a plus if you know how to drive, so you can be a driver or you can work in construction. There are also jobs in the restaurant, as well as warehouses, for both women and men.

Africans who want to come have to wait six weeks to get a work permit in Serbia.

We are looking for masons, carpenters, drivers and beauticians

20.000 jobs in the construction and service sector were offered by Serbia last year only for workers from Kenya, the latest data are from the media, and in the first 2024 months of 10 issued 16.000 work permits for foreign workers.

On the list of occupations that the country needs are mason, carpenter, armourer, maker of upper parts of shoes, plumber, ceramist, locksmith, ready-made seamstress, welder-gas cutter, but Serbia is also looking for truck drivers, facade painters, painters and painters. She also needs nurses, waiters and tailors, as well as bookkeepers and cashiers.

A large number of workers are there illegally. 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.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
