The Government of the Republic of Serbia, in its Conclusion, recommends to public sector to settle collective and individual labour disputes before the Agency for Peaceful Settlement of Labour Disputes, in accordance with the Law.The Recommendation refers to all government bodies, public administrative bodies, public agencies, provincial bodies, bodies of local self-government units, public enterprises and other forms of organisations established by the Republic of Serbia, as well as other companies established by the Republic of Serbia or government-owned companies, institutions and other public services funded by the Republic of Serbia.This Conclusion was passed to save budget funds since it was estimated that one day of strike costs large public enterprises from fifty thousand to half a million Euros whereas court proceedings for individual labour disputes are long-lasting and very expensive.To a large extent, the Recommendation would relieve caseload pressure on the courts and achieve strategic orientation of the Government which implies that each person has a right to decent work.The experience showed us that in case of labour disputes, conflicts, mobbing and similar adverse situations in labour relations, procedures before the Agency turn out to be the most efficient and completely free of charge methods for dispute resolution before independent conciliators and arbiters.
