A statement released today by the office of the EU Special Representative welcomed the passage of a new labor law by the Federation entity. The law is part of the reform process mandated by the EU.
Responding to protests against the law organized by labor unions, the EU statement claims that the law will be good for workers.
the new Labour Law will provide many new job opportunities as is the case in other countries that have recently adopted similar laws, for instance Italy and Serbia. It is for the governments and institutions of BiH to decide on the specifics of the new Labour Law and in accordance with democratic procedures. In our view, the draft Labour Law presented by the Federation government is sound, balanced and in line with the principles of the European Union.
