ABSTRACT
This chapter offers an overview of changes to labour law in a number of post-communist Central and Eastern European countries. These countries can be divided into three groups, namely those that were part of the Soviet Union until 1991 (the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), those of the former Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the territory of Kosovo) and a remaining group made up of Albania (which was in itself a separate case), Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia (later divided into the Czech Republic and Slovakia), Hungary, Poland and Romania.
