The miners threaten to escalate the situation. These are their demands.

Miners of the metallural giant Shrapcha have warned of the passage of the situation in case it fails to meet their demands over the next few days.

Those on the sixth day of the strike have posted their demands, such as the increase in wages by 20 percent, the failure of new workers without competition, the immediate meeting with the miners' Board, and the fulfillment of their earlier demands, though they have other requests.

The chairman of the Grevist Council, Ferid Neziri, speaking of Kosova Prees, in addition to the requirements mentioned, has also asked for the employment of the families of miners who now have to retire. I'm looking to get us from a child at work, because with 70 euros what I did. Six kids I have, they're all with a faculty and no one's employed by”, Neziri said.

The chairman of the Kosovo Workers' Union (BSPK), Avni Hajdini, has strongly supported the strikers, seeking quick solutions to the problem, on the contrary, as he said, the situation could escape. According to him, the prime minister's promises to the miners' demands since last year have remained only empty promises, because nothing has been done so far. He has called on the government to contact the miners as soon as possible and with dialogue to solve this problem.

Last year's “prime minister's promises for miners' demands have remained only empty promises. These workers also have 50,000 BSPK members supporting their demands. I send a message to the government to come as soon as possible near the miners and with dialogue to resolve this issue until the situation has been cleared. These workers are the same ones who moved to Pristina in 1989, so for not to create a situation like this again, it has to be solved as soon as the problem is resolved”, Hajdini stressed.

Even the head of the Trepca Workers Union, Fatmir Sadiku, has supported the demands of miners, who he called minimum and which can be realised. Therefore, he added, relief representatives of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo, need as soon as they come and dialogue with the miners in order to get out of this created situation. On the other hand, the coach of Trepca's manager,

Jevdet Tahiri, who took office a month ago, suggesting that he supports the demands of the workers, said he has informed the Supervision Board of their concerns and demands, but that no one has reflected so far.

Of course I support the miners' demands. Pay increases have actually been demanded by me, but I absolutely don't have budgetary opportunities. The opportunity and the first step to give me for this, I have to. Since I respond to the Supervision Board, I have informed it through email about the demands of the miners and their request for a possible meeting with them. Workers have also called for meetings with representatives of the Ministry of Economic Development and the prime minister to announce the flow of procedures related to Law and Statistics. They have so far not reflected”, Kosovo said of Tahiri.
