Crafts and trades

Small and medium-sized businesses, skilled workers and cross-border contract work

The Crafts and Trades sector is for small and medium-sized businesses that work with partners in the other country. Many of these businesses are run by people who are at home in both Austria and Serbia.

What it is about

Smaller businesses face different questions from large corporations: rules on posting workers, recognition of qualifications, trade licences, handling orders across the border and reliable partner businesses in the other country. Whether an order goes ahead often depends on such details.

What the sector does

It brings together businesses that need each other as partners, suppliers or subcontractors, and collects practical knowledge on posting, licensing and the recognition of qualifications. Together, smaller members also carry more weight with chambers and authorities.

Who it is relevant for

For craft businesses, construction and related trades, technical service providers, staffing agencies and all small and medium-sized businesses with cross-border work.
