He added that, in the last three years, Nis has reached record low number of unemployed. “These results could not be realized by the City of Nis without the support of the state, and I would like to thank the President of Serbia and the Government of our country for this support, who recognized the significance of Nis and understood how important it is to invest in Nis. Thanks to them, a large number of investors were brought to Nis, which significantly influenced the reduction of the number of unemployed people. “The mayor said that the city’s strategic goal is a stable and sustainable growth of employment, a reduction in informal employment and unemployment, and the creation of new measures to meet the demands of the labor market.
