Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić reported that, via the Open Balkan initiative’s ID card system, 2,200 individuals have expressed their desire to work in Belgrade and other parts of Serbia.
Vučić highlighted Serbia’s labour shortage and commended the effectiveness of the identification card system, as reported by The Region.
He noted a particularly high interest from North Macedonia, pointing out that while some Serbians have registered to work elsewhere, the Open Balkan initiative has led to a substantial net gain of workers in Serbia.
During his appearance on TV Informer, he also shared that Serbia achieved a 5.9% economic growth in February.
