Article 2(2) of the Convention. Coordination of the activities of public and private employment services. The Government indicates in its report that there are five registered private employment agencies in Montenegro. Employment agencies are required to keep records of their activities and report twice a year to the Employment Office of Montenegro. In reply to the previous direct request, the Government indicates that it is still examining the possibility of ratifying the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181), by analysing the experience of other countries and through consultations with the social partners. In its 2010 General Survey on employment instruments, the Committee recalled the historical background in which Convention No. 2 was adopted and indicated that the Convention recognizes the existence of private free employment agencies and requires member States to coordinate the operations of private and public agencies on a national scale (paragraph 188). The Committee notes that the Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88), has been ratified by Montenegro. As Convention No. 88, Convention No. 181 recognizes the role played by public employment services and private employment agencies to achieve an optimal labour market functioning and thus the realization of the right to work. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information on the measures taken to coordinate the activities of public and private employment services with a view to combating unemployment. Please continue to provide information on any developments towards the ratification of the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181).
