The Slovenian government decided to leave its labour market open for newcomers Bulgaria and Romania joining the EU on January 1.
The decision is in line with Slovenia's endeavours towards free flow of labour in the EU, a statement of the government said, as cited by the online Slovenia Business Week.
"Workers from the two countries will not endanger the Slovenian labour market," the cabinet agreed.
A total of 13 Bulgarians and 12 Romanians performed services in Slovenia in October, while additional 112 Bulgarians and 126 Romanians were employed in the country.
The cabinet will perform monthly monitoring of employment of foreigners. Should there be any disturbances on the labour market, the cabinet has a chance to enforce a safeguard clause, the press release says.
