The Belgrade, Istanbul and Stuttgart Multilateral Conferences of Emigration and Immigration Countries’ Trade Unions
Othmar Nikola Haberl

Sažetak
The author examines the beginnings and course of three multilateral conferences of emigration and immigration countries' trade unions, which were held in Belgrade (1972), Istanbul (1973) and Stuttgart (1976) respectively. Some earlier multilateral gat¬herings of trade unions, at which the problems of foreigners' employment were discussed, are briefly mentioned too.
While the earliest, Belgrade conference aimed at a general exchange of views and an exploration of possibilities for co-operation between the ideologically different trade unions of the countries of emigration and the countries of immigration, the Istanbul conference focused itself on three concrete problems crucial to foreigners employed in Western Europe (that is, contractual and social norms, the education of foreign workers and their children, and the participation of the former in trade unions in the countries of immigration.) The Stuttgart conference, however limited in scope as for the topics discussed, managed to create some kind of a joint platform pertaining to the trade unions of both immigration and emigration countries, regarding the economic, social and legal status of foreign workers. In the author's opinion, however, the world economic crisis has stalled what was the successfully launched trade unions' international co-operation and activities benefiting foreign workers. This can be corroborated, in the first place, by the fact that not a single international conference of trade unions has been held ever since 1976.
