Summary/Abstract: One of the prominent features of the European Union is the community law, which incorporates community labour law. The free movement of workforce is regarded as one of the four fundamental freedoms in the EU law, and one of the basic principles of community labour law. The freedom of movement within the European Union is a right which has its origins in the EC founding treaties. The right was later expanded by the provisions of secondary legislation, as well as the judicial practice of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, whose integrationist approach was in constant conflict with the restrictive interpretation of this freedom by the member states. It is through the secondary legislation and the practice of the Court of Justice that the development of this freedom and its gradual expansion is. most apparent. Providing - on the outset - for a very small number of people, it evolved into the concept "the citizenship of the Communities". In this paper, the author presents the basic acts important for the free movement of workforce in the European Union, the contents as well as the limitations of this freedom.
