Director of the Migration Agency Muhsinxuja Abdurahmonov held talks with Ivan Vidish, State Secretary at Croatia’s Ministry of Labour, Pension System, Family and Social Policy, and Ante Lonchar, Director of the Croatian Employment Service.
The main focus was on establishing a system to employ Uzbek citizens in Croatia through a government-to-government (G2G) mechanism, ensuring legal, safe and decent working conditions.
🔹 As an initial step, a pilot recruitment process involving 50–100 specialists in the construction sector was proposed.
🔹 The parties discussed targeted vocational and language training for Uzbek citizens in line with the requirements of Croatian employers.
🔹 The possibility of opening a Migration Agency representative office in Croatia was considered to protect the labour rights of Uzbek citizens working there and provide them with on-site assistance.
The Croatian side identified Uzbekistan as a promising partner in the construction sector and expressed interest in expanding cooperation in the future to include engineering, healthcare and social care.
Following the talks, a bilateral cooperation document in the labour market sector was signed.
