Podgorica, (MINA-BUSINESS) – According to the Employment Office, strengthening cooperation, exchanging experience, and implementing European standards are key prerequisites for developing more efficient public employment services.

The delegation was received by Director of the Employment Office David Percobic, together with Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Dialogue Naida Nisic and Chairman of the Management Board Aleksandar Sipcic, who welcomed the visitors and expressed confidence that the exchange of experience would contribute to further strengthening cooperation between the two institutions.
