Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122) - Serbia (Ratification: 2000)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain information on the matters raised in its 2003 direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee takes note of a report received in September 2002 containing certain indications on the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia and on the rights of the unemployed workers established by the legislation of the Republic of Serbia. The Government also stated that in keeping with Article 2 of the Convention, a new draft law is under preparation in the field of employment that will stipulate a new approach of the issue of employment policy. The Committee trusts that the Government will include in its next report information on the application of the Convention in Serbia and Montenegro, which will enable it to ascertain to what extent an active policy of promoting full, productive and freely chosen employment is formulated and applied in the framework of a coordinated economic and social policy and in consultation with all the persons affected, in accordance with Articles 1, 2 and 3 of the Convention.
