The number of foreign workers is rising each year owing to the exodus of Serbian workers to the financially more generous European countries.
For the past few years, more and more foreign workers have been arriving in Serbia, primarily to work on construction sites.
Besides Chinese and Russian enterprises, Turkish and Azerbaijani companies build Serbian roads under a veil of mystery. Last year, they were joined by Bechtel, a US construction company.
