January 22 (SeeNews) - Serbia, North Macedonia and Albania have signed two protocols to create a free labour market as part of the Open Balkan regional initiative, Serbia’s government said on Monday.
Serbia's president Aleksandar Vucic said that these documents will enable a completely free labour market in the western Balkan states to enter into force as of March 1.
The countries agreed on two protocols—one for free access to the Western Balkans labour market and another for integrating an electronic identification scheme for citizens of the region.
The Open Balkan regional initiative took shape in 2019 when Serbia, Albania, and North Macedonia agreed to establish an economic zone for 12 million people, opening their borders for both people and products.
