Read more Achievements (EN): Starting from the fundamental issue of problems in the labour market in Serbia, in terms of the significant number of unemployed persons and meagre chances of their employment in the region any time soon, the lead beneficiary of this project has come up with an idea to enter into partnership with the Romanian counterpart to jointly tackle the issue of the labour market in the cross-border area. After a short period of research, the common conclusion was reached that support for labour market development has not undergone any substantial analysis. In contrast, labour potentials in the respective area have not been used. Since Romania faces the problem of a much higher demand for relevant labour than the offer, and, in Serbia, the situation is the other way round, the inevitable conclusion is that the solution to the problem lies in partnership and active cooperation in attempts to mitigate the effects of these statistics. To balance the employment rate in the Romanian-Serbian cross border area, taking into account the current high unemployment rate in Serbia, on the one hand, and the lack of labour in Romania, on the other hand, we found out that our starting point should be a thorough analysis of the labour market, aimed at recognizing shortcomings, and then planning actions and measures for overcoming these. All relevant stakeholders were included in the preparation of this document (public, private and NGO sectors). The final document ensures a long-term strategic approach to labour market development in the cross-border area. The project planned a variety of activities, including thematic debates, workshops, and education for the unemployed with emphasis on representatives of disadvantaged groups. The most important project tasks were implemented to foster the development, render support and ensure sustainability in the labour market of cross-border cooperation structures. The most important project activities, and results were: preparation of the Labour market analysis; education for the unemployed; establishing the long term cooperation in the field of labour market; networking; developing the web page with the intention to offer to the job seekers from Serbia and Romania the possibility to access relevant information on available jobs from both countries. New models of active support were implemented.
