The Migration Service of Tajikistan's Ministry of Labor, Migration and employment of the Population (MoLMEP) has announced job opportunities for citizens interested in working in Montenegro. This invitation was shared through the Migration Service’s Facebook page.
According to the announcement, individuals interested in these positions can reach out to Centers for Consultation and Pre-Departure Training for Migrant Workers in Dushanbe. Starting in 2025, there will be job openings in Montenegro's highway construction sector.
The employment conditions are as follows: employees will earn more than 1,000 euros, depending on their specialty. Additionally, employers will provide housing, meals, work attire, and transportation cards. However, workers will need to pay for their tickets and visas themselves.
An official source within the Migration Service told Asia-Plus that interviews will be conducted in December for applicants aiming to work in Montenegro. Only citizens currently residing in Tajikistan will be eligible to participate. A list of candidates is being compiled at the moment.
Previously, Lithuania also sought workers from Tajikistan for its construction and service sectors. Lithuania has reported an increase in Tajik workers, with numbers rising from 5,700 to 7,000 in one year, making Tajiks the fifth largest diaspora in the Baltic country, following Ukrainians, Belarusians, Uzbeks, and Azerbaijanis.
According to Lithuania’s Employment Service, as of July 1, there were 138,300 workers from 132 non-EU countries in Lithuania. Two-thirds of these workers were from Belarus and Ukraine, with more than 6,000 from Uzbekistan, 5,600 from Kyrgyzstan, and 4,600 from Tajikistan.
Montenegro is a country in Southeastern Europe, on the Balkan Peninsula. Its 25 municipalities have a total population of 633,158 people in an area of 13,812 square kilometers.
The economy of Montenegro is mostly service-based. The Montenegrin road infrastructure is not at Western European standards. Some sources say no roads meet full motorway standards. Construction of new highways is considered a national priority, as they are important for uniform economic development and the development of Montenegro as an attractive tourist destination.
