Serbia launches new portal for nationals of Albania and North Macedonia under the Agreement on Conditions for Free Access to the Labor Market in the Western Balkans
In April 2024, Serbia introduced a new online portal for nationals of Albania and North Macedonia who seek to apply to enter and work in Serbia under the Agreement on Conditions for Free Access to the Labor Market in the Western Balkans (i.e., "the Agreement"). Eligible nationals of Albania and North Macedonia (and not companies) must submit a request under the Agreement via the newly launched online platform. To do so, individuals must create a profile on the Open Balkan online portal of their home country and obtain an Open Balkan ID number. They may submit the request for free access prior to entering Serbia, or no later than 90 days from the date of arrival in Serbia. Requests will be processed within 30 days from the date of submission.
