Research Institute proposes Kosovo, Serbia manages Trepca resources

Ira Hashi from this institute introduced the history of Trepca's work, where it said Serbia should take responsibility for the damages caused during the time it managed this company.

“One of the most devastating things Serbia has done, has changed Trepca's ownership, shares are being carried are sold to workers. Management has used Markovic's law that the stake is handed over to Serbia's development fund. 25 %s at the time have remained social shares. Trepca has also had several debts, and some have also been translated on charges of indictment -- 67m euros that have been Trepca's official -- has been behind debts outside the”, Hasi stressed.

He said Kosovo and Serbia should manage with the resources of “Trepce”, but added that Serbia should provide responsibility for the pre-war period and during the war.

It is in the interest of both states to make joint management of the Belo Berda and Crnas mines, as it is on the border between the two countries, the sooner Serbia accepts the reality of Kosovo the better, but Serbia should take responsibility for the Trepca period in the 1990s, he said.

Qerim said it has indicated that Kosovo should seek compensation for material and human damages. Similarly, Kosovo should insist on apologies from Serbia and ensure no repetition.

Kosovo's “Stand-by should claim the return of damaged property, damage caused should include private objects yesterday public, the second form of compensation is material compensation, material loss and other, non-material damage to trauma life, etc., and non-explored persons found sexual violence in massive density. In cases of human losses, life is one of the impossible compositions, seeking a material compensation can affect a kind of satisfaction from the families”, he said.
