National Agency for Peaceful Settlement of Labour Disputes marked its 15th anniversary. The event, as well as the opening of the first interactive training for conciliators and arbiters, was attended by the CATUS President, Ljubisav Orbović.
Up to now the Agency has resolved about 20,000 disputes out of which 19,000 are individual, which means that citizens became aware of Agency’s importance and reliability. This assessment is shared by the Minister of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs, Darija Kisić Tepavčević. „Agreement is always possible but goodwill is necessary. The Agency’s goal is to create peaceful atmosphere while resolving disputes and finding the best solution in the interest of both employees and trade union, but also the Republic of Serbia“, Minister explained.
„Through the protection of individual labour rights workers are provided with the possibility to resolve the dispute free of charge, quickly and simply and employers are able to avoid expensive and long-term court procedures. If the Agency is in charge of resolving the dispute, the expenses boil down to a minimum as it is in eveybody’s interest “, she said.
The acting director of the National Agency for the Peaceful Settlement of Labour Disputes, Ivica Lazović thanked the Minister and added that Agency’s priority would be to accomplish better cooperation with the courts and social partners.
The event was also attended by the TUC NEZAVISNOST President, Zoran Stoiljković and the President of the Employers’ Association, Miloš Nenezić.
