In 2030, Kosovo's cleanup of war mines is expected to end

Of the 4,520 dangerous areas from mines across Kosovo, after the war, only 66 have already remained. After their cleansing are many people and hard work, confession of some of whom you will be able to follow in the following chronice.

Clearing Kosovo of war mines is expected to be completed in 2030. A team of miners leave for a mine zone. Roads and terrain are long and varied, but the goal remains always the same, cleansing Kosovo of unbroken means...

A site on Bigora's Shala allegedly has unbroken means left over from the last war in Kosovo.

The professional team makes operational plans on how to clean up this suspected mine zone.

Each of them assumes the task for which they are called and begins mending the terrain.

One of the operators' detectors begins to emit unusual sound.

There might be something there. That's why even space is made ready for ecskivim or burial.

That's how it turned out to be, it's a piece of metal in a mine.

And all these findings must be marked by specific means so that each operator knows what was found in that particular area.

The three - foot - long [1 m] red - headed stick is to target the danger zone border with the striped émina·dinʹ, while this other stick of 20cm white head is made in administrative areas where it is clean area with APUjo mina”, said Bedri Peci.

All this was a demonstration of what the operators of “Norvegian People's Aid”, an organisation sponsored by the US State Department, Norway State and the EU, do cleaning the ground in Kosovo.

Everything is done in co-operation with the Kosovo Security Force and KFOR.

We're currently operating in two locations, at this location here at the Bigora Shala, where we have four teams and four teams happened in Mokna, in the region of Zubin Potok”, the operational manager, Hajredin Kryeziu, has said.

Their focus is exactly northern Kosovo where the KSF, due to the agreement, cannot penetrate there.

And their presence in Kosovo since 1999 has also made the commitment and performance of jobs great.

“So far The NPA has been cleaning up 10 million meters of four and more than 9 million four-meters left, which need a cleanup of”, Kryeziu added.

Thanks to the presence of such organisations and the work of the KSF, now dangerous areas from mines are almost clean throughout Kosovo.

Centre for Deminim's Director at the Ministry of Defense Ahmet Salova said 2030 will find Kosovo cleared of unbroken means.

“Based in the situation, in 1999 we have had 4520 dangerous areas, thanks to the work of the detention organisations this number has been reduced to 66 and you can see for yourself how much progress has been made. We have made the strategic plan and parameters that together with the KSF and two organisations that are present to clear Kosovo by 203018x1>, Sullivan said.

This team is made up of more than 100 operators who are from the Albanian and Serbian communities.

Their cooperation is continuous and free of problems.

These areas are now proud to walk because after their cleansing, even people have already come to live in this space.

From the dangerous area of the mine to the cleared area for life is the purpose of this team of workers. /Dukagini/
