Serbia, Albania and North Macedonia Can Count of Single Work Permit from Next Year

The Open Balkans Initiative is our process and something that is crucial for the survival of the economy and the jobs in Serbia, says the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Serbia, Marko Cadez, and announces that Serbia, Albania and North Macedonia can count on a single work permit and a single information system for their citizens from next year.

– There’s a problem with labor force. The labor market is becoming truly problematic. In order to expand the jobs and contract new ones, we need to have a space where we will realize those jobs and people with whom we will realize them – Cadez said on RTS.

– Transportation is getting more expensive. What’s already been done within the Open Balkans since the initiative was launched is to shorten the trips between these three countries, for trucks, goods, from Albania to Serbia, by a whole day. That has truly saved money for the companies – said Marko Cadez.

Regarding the World Logistics Passport initiative, which Serbia joined recently, Cadez said that Serbia was the only European country to join the initiative and that this considerably lowered the transportation costs, making the local economy more competitive. He added that, in addition to Serbia, the initiative featured countries of Latin America and north Africa.
