KEK cannot get coal, although many, about 14 trillion preserves of lignite, fifth in the country with the largest amount of lignite in the world.
The fact that the Kosovo government did not make a decision to expropriate private property from which the lignite should be extracted has brought work to this crisis.
KEK Director Arben Djukaj has told Reuters that KEK has to take over 52 hectares of private property in order to extract untapped coal, but local residents want more money for their restoration, and the Government of Kosovo has not successfully addressed this problem, even though this process had begun in 2013.
“We will work with a full capacity of only two weeks --x1>, Djukaj told Reuters.
In the coming weeks we will face a considerable lack of electricity from the generation units. All depends on how we'll spend the cargo reserves”, he added. /Insader
