Representatives of the Building and Wood Workers International believe that the Government of Serbia should do much more to protect the human and workers’ rights of foreign workers in Serbia.
Experts and unions warn about indications of human trafficking of workers engaged in the construction of the Linglong factory in Zrenjanin Serbia.
In order to attract foreign investment and improve infrastructure, Serbian authorities are ready to change laws and turn a blind eye to the violations of existing regulations when it comes to foreign companies. Their attitude towards Chinese companies is just one example of this.
Europe’s automobile manufacturers will be receiving their tires from Zrenjanin via the new Silk Road. Meanwhile, the Republic of Serbia will pay for its place in the Chinese “Belt and Road” initiative by providing subsidies, natural resources and by adjusting its legislation to the needs of corporations.
