Serbia to reform labour inspectorate into reputable inspection service
Belgrade,
26 April 2004
A project entitled Developing a Serbian Labour Inspectorate for the 21st Century will help the country create a reputable labour inspection service whose officers will be trained not only to monitor occupational safety and health conditions in companies but also to assess implementation of the Law on Labour as well as illegal employment and workplace safety and health legislation.

The bulk of the government’s lawmaking activity, which aims to bring Serbia’s legislation up to European Union standards, will be useless without an adequate reform of the labour inspection service, Serbian Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Affairs Slobodan Lalovic told a press conference today.
Serbia’s labour inspectorate reform aims to make the national inspection service fit to operate in a market economy, said Lalovic, adding that inspectors must be trained in new operating procedures and approaches.
The US Department of Labour (USDOL) and the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) office for South Eastern Europe donated $500,000 for the project, said national project coordinator Jovan Protic, adding that the project is being implemented in cooperation with the Serbian Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Affairs.
A brochure, entitled Together towards Zero, will be presented at a conference due to be held on April 28, the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, and April 29, said Protic. The brochure, prepared as part of the Developing a Serbian Labour Inspectorate for the 21st Century project, will be used in a campaign which will aim to bring work-related injuries and deaths towards a zero-level.
The two-day conference, to be held at Belgrade M Hotel, will bring together ILO officials and experts from both transition and post-transition countries.
