Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)Just days before Kosovo declared independence, representatives of “Rio Tinto” (Lydian International) have reported that new reserves of gold have been discovered in Rahovec, with an average of 1.87 grams of gold per ton of minerals, ranging to 7.97 grams, but without such estimates suggest that the finds [...]
As writes B92, The PUPS has cited this discovery as argument, in the case of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's messages to Trepca workers that “until Serbia is, Trepca no one will be robbed”, that there is no offer that will make Serbia pass the <x2-line red” and give up its property in Kosovo, Telegrafi reports.
PUPS points out that Kosovo, 105 years ago, after several centuries, “has returned home”, whereas “Serbia has returned to its homeland”.
It further points out that the most important European mine in Nemanjice's time was Novoberda, where gold was mined, and that by the beginning of the 15th century, one of the oldest mining laws in Europe, the Despot Mine Code, Stefan Lazarevic from 1412, and that during the time of Djurdgje Brankoevic, one fifth of the European silver needs have been met.
The PUPS statement says:
Archaeological excavations prove that mineral wealth in Kosovo has been explored even before the Romans arrived, and during the Roman Empire, former province of the South Messiah (now Central Serbia and Kosovo) is considered a mining province.
At the end of the 20th century, foreign capital began entering Kosovo's mining sector during the time of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the British have invested in the exploitation of minerals in Stan Targ.
Trepca mines daily mention researchers and investors, bypassing the only address they can talk to, if property rights are respected, and this is the Government of the Republic of Serbia”.
