Opening the Employment Fair being held in Dom Sindikata, Lalovic said that this an example of good news and added that in the same time period there also has been a growth of approximately 20 percent in the number of vacant work places available.
He voiced hope that favourable conditions will be created for even bigger growth of vacant work places in 2006, since it is the only solution for ending the transition and privatisation of socially owned firms.
He said that according to the National Employment Strategy, provided that total direct investment in the Serbian economy until 2010 reaches a sum of nearly €3.5 billion, it is projected that unemployment will drop from the present figure of 18 to 19 percent to 10.5 percent.
Lalovic said that employment fairs are organised so that greater numbers of people can find employment, so that contact is made between employees and the unemployed, and also so that perspectives can change and people can become active in their searches for jobs.
He said that starting next year, employment fairs will be held regularly throughout Serbia.
Lalovic said the government will continue to give tax incentives to employees to register workers and expressed hope that in the second half of 2006, at the latest in early 2007, tax burdens and contributions to health care will be lessened.
The Employment Fair has been organised by the Belgrade Office of the National Employment Bureau, and with 31 companies attending, participation has increased by nearly a third since last June’s fair.
Among the firms present and searching for new employees were Coca Cola, Meridian Bank, Societe General Bank, Hemofarm, C market, Klas, Kluz-Kozara, Telekom, Galenika, Delta M and Mostogradnja.
Representatives of individual firms expressed their readiness to employ from 50 to 100 workers, and those required are unemployed individuals with various occupational qualifications ranging from a minimum to high educational level.
