Summary: 

In Serbia,  the national and local governments are working together and across several policy areas including youth, migration, employment and education sectors. The National Employment Strategy, Economic Migration Strategy, National Youth Strategy and National Youth Law all include mobility considerations and aim to provide opportunities for youth at home and abroad. Municipalities then establish Local Migration Action Plans, Local Youth Action Plans and Local Employment Action Plans which recognize young people as a group of potential changemakers and plan active measures towards their employment. Local Migration Councils also work closely with Municipal Youth Offices, proposing plans to create new opportunities for young people. To implement these plans, local self-governments (LSGs) partner with local education and youth centers, businesses and CSOs to upskill young people, providing direct training to employment pathways to fill local vacancies.
