Yesterday, Minister of Labour and Protection of Veterans and Disabled Persons Danijel Egić held a working meeting with Chief Republic Labour Inspector Vladimir Glišić on analysis of the implementation of the Labour Law and Law on Inspections.

Minister Egić stated several important topics to be discussed at the meeting, such as importing foreign workers, quotas for such workers, and other topics important for the business community, workers and unions. He stressed that there are talks with social partners on increasing the minimum wage in the Republic of Srpska and that he hopes they would come to an agreement.

Chief Republic Labour Inspector Vladimir Glišić pointed out that 35 percent of inspections are with found irregularities which mostly relate to the violations of the Labour Law in the area of labour rights in terms of undeclared and illegal work, but also to the implementation of occupational health and safety measures, especially in the area of construction as one of the high-risk industries.
