Ghana signs deal to send its youth to work in Serbia

Ghana and Serbia forged partnerships across trade, labor, military affairs, education, technology, and climate initiatives during recent diplomatic talks. Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announced that Serbia plans to distribute 100,000 work permits this year due to demographic challenges. The European nation has already awarded 51 scholarships to Ghanaian students and will provide an additional 30 educational opportunities. Ghana reciprocated by offering academic programs to Serbian students pursuing African studies. Both countries discovered lithium deposits and agreed to exchange mining expertise.

Serbian Foreign Minister Marko Duric described Ghana as an essential regional ally during the three-day official visit. The partnership builds upon historical connections between former leaders Kwame Nkrumah and Josip Broz Tito. Serbia chairs the Global Partnership for Artificial Intelligence and seeks African participation in technology governance. Ghana aims to become the second African nation, after Egypt, to secure a labor mobility agreement with Serbia. The delegation will meet parliamentary members and various ministry officials.
