The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report following the communication of 19 April 2001, whereby it declared itself bound by the Conventions applicable on its territory prior to becoming a Member of the ILO.

Republic of Serbia. The Committee notes that legislation protects workers against discrimination based on trade union membership and participation in strikes and guarantees them freedom of trade union activity. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any specific legislative provisions which would protect workers’ representatives against prejudicial acts (dismissals, transfers, etc.) and lay down the applicable proceedings and sanctions.

The Committee notes that according to the Government, the application of the Convention in the Republic of Serbia is not ensured by the Law on Safety and Work (Official Gazette, Nos. 42/91, 53/93 and 42/92) and that a new law on security and health care at work is currently being drafted to bring legislation in line with the Convention. The Committee hopes that the new law will be adopted very soon and requests the Government to provide in its next report the text of the law, or, if such law has not been enacted yet, the draft law.

Republic of Montenegro. The Committee notes that the report does not contain any information on the application of the Convention in the Republic of Montenegro. The Committee requests the Government to provide in its next report information in this respect and transmit the relevant legal texts.
