Miners threaten strikes, protests if for two weeks no demands are met

That's how he made it known. The KP chairman of the Independent Trade Union of Trepca Miners, Fatmir Sadiku.

The current situation in Trepca is not good because. The drafts and demands of miners that are reasonable... the Ministry of Economic Development and Parliamentary Commission have called for two weeks to enable our demands and remarks to be examined or entered into the draft state...”, Sadiku said.

He has also said that if this deadline expires without any positive responses for them, then miners will organise general strike or street protests.

If this deadline expires and has no positive response from the Ministry of Economic Development and Parliamentary Commission, then the deadline is July 9th 2018, where general strikes or street protests were warned. We also had a meeting yesterday, the union along with the Trepca management, where we came up with a joint communiqué with four requirements, respectively, the Trepca Law to go back and become complete with the change of that Law, which doesn't give us room to put all our demands into the draft, the draft draft draft draft of the Trepca board designed to return to zero, the demands of the miners to be regulated legally and in parallel with that law and go into a charter and vote in the Republic of Kosovo, and it is the fourth physical requirement of the tripcynic board that we have asked for a new principle, Samek said.

Otherwise, Trepca workers under the organisation of their Union had held for two straight days a one-hour strike, on June 18th and 19th respectively, thus rejecting the draft Trepca statute issued by the Government, with the argument that their remarks and demands were not included.
