Lalovic said that the bills will be submitted to the Serbian parliament already in late April. He briefed the World Bank delegation, led by representative for Europe and Central Asia Mamta Murthi, about a new national employment strategy, as well as about changes that will be introduced in the field of social security.
The World Bank delegation expressed interest in the implementation of the Law on employment, as well as in the Ministry's 2004 budget. Minister Lalovic and World Bank representatives agreed that the communication between the two institutions should be continued at the expert level.
