Response from the competent authority: "Reply from the Ministry of Labour, Family,\
  \ Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities:According to the Labour Market Act (Official\
  \ Gazette of the RS, No 80/2010, 40/12-ZUJF and 21/13), the receipt of a cash benefit\
  \ is a right that an unemployed person acquires on the basis of the unemployment\
  \ insurance contributions paid, i.e. on the basis of past work or employment. At\
  \ the same time as becoming unemployed, an individual acquires not only rights but\
  \ also obligations. During the period of unemployment (regardless of the period\
  \ of receipt of the cash benefit), the person is obliged to actively look for a\
  \ job, respond to any invitation from the institution, participate in active employment\
  \ policy measures, etc.In recent years, legislative reforms in the field of labour\
  \ market regulation have also led to significant changes in the period of receipt\
  \ of cash benefits, which is now shorter, additional conditions and obligations\
  \ for the unemployed have been added, and employment policy measures are aimed at\
  \ promoting the early activation of the unemployed into activity - work, employment,\
  \ training or education. Particular emphasis is placed on the activation of recipients\
  \ of social assistance, for whom specific programmes have been designed to reintegrate\
  \ them into work, training, voluntary activities or employment.\r\nThe State cannot\
  \ provide employers with free labour, as this would be problematic from both a labour\
  \ law and a moral point of view.  The area of workers' rights is also heavily regulated\
  \ under European Union and ILO law. The state can encourage the unemployed to actively\
  \ seek employment by imposing stricter conditions and greater monitoring of compliance\
  \ with these obligations, but in doing so it is also necessary to guarantee the\
  \ unemployed all the rights to which they are entitled under unemployment insurance.\
  \ Active employment policy measures encourage employers to first get to know the\
  \ unemployed person through active employment policy measures, such as on-the-job\
  \ training, to introduce them to work (at no extra cost to the employer), and to\
  \ employ them once the training has been completed. When employing unemployed people\
  \ from particularly vulnerable target groups, employers also have the possibility\
  \ of obtaining subsidies or reimbursement of employer contributions.\r\n "
