In detail
Truck drivers from Bosnia: experience on international routes
Bosnian professional drivers are at home on European roads: freight companies from Bosnia & Herzegovina have run EU routes for decades, so C/CE licences, long-haul experience and confident handling of modern fleets and tachographs are widespread.
After arrival, non-EU licences are converted, and the (accelerated) basic qualification for commercial freight transport is added. Many employers support these steps during the first months – on CandidateForce you can see in advance which candidates bring driving experience and readiness to start.
Qualifications

Route experience
Domestic, international or construction traffic: past route types say a lot about the fit with your contracts.
Willingness to qualify
Licence conversion and the basic qualification (BKrFQG) take time and motivation – discuss the path early.

Process
How hiring from the Western Balkans works
- 1
Search or post a job
Search candidate profiles by profession, experience and language level – or publish a job ad and collect applications.
- 2
Contact and interview
Message candidates directly. Chat translation bridges language barriers, and you schedule interviews right from the platform.
- 3
Work permit and visa
After the offer you provide the employment contract and, if needed, pre-approval from the Federal Employment Agency; the candidate applies for the visa.
- 4
Arrival and first day
Once the visa is issued the candidate relocates. Plan a realistic 3–6 months from first contact to the first day of work.
Work permit
The Western Balkans Regulation: the simplest route to a work permit
The Western Balkans Regulation (§ 26 (2) BeschV) opens the German labour market to citizens of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Albania for any job – no formal recognition of qualifications required. What is needed is a concrete job offer and approval from the Federal Employment Agency; currently 50,000 approvals are available per year.
As the employer you provide the job offer and the employment contract; the candidate applies for the visa at the German embassy in their country. For professions with recognised qualifications, the skilled-worker visa or the EU Blue Card are alternatives. You can run the visa process yourself – or hand it over to our partner Balkan Recruiters.
