Summary/Abstract: According to the dynamics envisaged by the Revised Action Plan for Chapter 24 - Report on the Implementation of the Action Plan for July-December 2021, the competent authorities within the Ministry of Internal Affairs (hereinafter referred to as: MIA) and the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social affairs (hereinafter referred to as: MLEVSA) initiated amendments to the strategic laws in the field of migration: the Law on Foreigners ("Official Gazette of the RS", No. 24/2018 and 31/2019)1 the Law on Asylum and Temporary Protection ("Official Gazette of the RS", No. 24/2018)2 and the Law on Employment of Foreigners ("Official Gazette of the RS", No. 128/2014, 113/2017, 50/2018 and 31/2019). Drafting of the proposed amendments to the relevant laws has been accompanied by the consultation process with the stakeholders and the invitation for presenting written comments and proposals. Group 484 assesses such a practice as a positive one, in particular having in mind that it shows a continuity in competent authorities’ approach, as the previous round of amendments to the laws was assessed as transparent and constructive by civil society organisations dealing with migration issues.
