As the number of Serbian illegal workers in Slovakia has
increased,. Slovakia and Serbia should cooperate more in information exchange
on labor market, Slovak Labour, Social Affairs and Family Minister Jan Richter
said after talks with Serbian Labour Minister Aleksandar Vulin on Monday.
"Several agencies are attempting to circumvent the
legislation in Slovakia by setting up branches in Hungary, the Czech Republic,
Serbia and Romania in order to mediate workers to be sent to Slovakia,"
stressed Richter.
Officially, close to 6,000 Serbian nationals currently work
in Slovakia, most of whom were via staff leasing agencies.
Vulin said that his government would like to see Serbians
remaining to work in their country, but conceded that everyone has the right to
work abroad. "Illegal work can't be entirely uprooted, but it's possible
to reduce it, and this is what we're currently working on," added Vulin.
Serbian journalist Dragan Krsnik was the first person
putting attention to the problem of illegal labor in Slovakia. He worked
incognito for three months in allegedly dire conditions at the Samsung plant in
Galanta in west Slovakia.
