BRATISLAVA - Slovakia, which plans to open "recruitment offices" in several countries due to its need for qualified employees, considers to include Turkey in its list.
Turkish Justice Minister Mehmet Ali Sahin, who currently holds talks in Slovakia, said on Tuesday that Slovakian officials planned to open offices in Moldova, Serbia, Uzbekistan, Bulgaria and Romania in an effort to seek qualified labor force.
"Turkey can provide qualified workers to Slovakia as well," Sahin told Slovakian officials.
Upon such offer, Economy Minister Lubomir Jahnatek of Slovakia said that his country could open an office in Turkey.
Such issue will be discussed during Jahnatek`s upcoming visit to Turkey, officials said, adding that Slovakia was in need of qualified employees who would work in the automotive, electronics, construction and energy sectors.
