Foreign laborers arriving in Serbia through recruitment agencies are reportedly experiencing challenging conditions. Many find themselves living in inadequate housing and working without formal contracts, often “off the books.” Reports indicate low wages, with tips frequently exceeding actual earnings, highlighting financial precarity. These workers, primarily recruited from abroad, face exploitation and limited legal protections. Concerns are rising about the systemic issues contributing to these unfavorable circumstances and the lack of oversight regarding their employment and living arrangements. The situation underscores vulnerabilities within Serbia’s labor market and the need for improved regulations to safeguard the rights of migrant workers. Some workers report receiving minimal income after expenses, with any remaining funds considered insignificant compared to earned tips.
