Read moreSerbia and RMV, a joint labor market in Albania and “visa-free” workers in Open Balkans
The Open Balkans Agreement for a common labor market allows Albanian citizens to work in Serbia and North Macedonia.
According to this agreement between Albania, Serbia and North Macedonia, citizens can go to work without obstacles and paper bureaucracy in any of the two countries they are not residents of.
They launched the initiative to keep employees in the region at one of the Open Balkans summits in December 2021, and the governments of the three countries are already finalizing it to allow citizens to work and live freely in each of the states.
The agreement states that a personal identification number is necessary for citizens of Albania, North Macedonia and Serbia, who want to be employed in one of the members of the Open Balkans or have already found an employer. It is possible to register electronically, initially with a form on the e-Government platform, and with an identification document to get this number.
A request for free access to the labor market can be submitted by the interested part on the e-government portal of a given country.
The population of the three countries together is currently estimated at about 11 million inhabitants, and Serbia has 30,000 vacancies for doctors, nurses, craftsmen and technicians. Albanian private service companies also have many empty places, while seasonal employees are mainly accepted in North Macedonia so far. Perhaps, the new approach will make it announce its offers as well.
