Ignored by Government, miners believe they will receive salaries- warn protest

A week after taking on shoes of the company's chief executive boss “Trepca”, Faton Ahmeti has declared to the media that miners' salaries would be executed next week.

However, optimists like Ahmeti are not expressing the miners, who have not received salaries for nearly three months now.

That promise is considered futile.

What promise these are false promises, their partners, if they don't. If we're going to be forced to march to parliament to station until we reach our goal, execute our salaries”, Miftar Mehmeti, Minator in Trepca, has said.

Other miners say the same, who re-inflammatory that the execution of a wage is not the solution.

I'm not an optimist, but we're keeping our hopes, so I'll lose them. We're hoping that we're going out and starting our job because that's not how it works, you know, with a solution that doesn't work. The solution is to put two wages on us by starting the job, and don't force the miners to quit. We've been given promises and we've had enough of them, but I don't know why they promise when they don't have a option of”, Gani Osmani, Minator, said.

The issue has not been answered by Faton Ahmeti, nor by representatives of the Independent Union of Miners.

The answer, not even the executive returned.

In view of economic conditions, the connoisseurs of this field say that management is playing with miners ' feelings.

It is the time when the miners are correct, the challenges are many. It's not live by promise. There's got to be miners' concrete in order to get the motivation back to the miners. The lack of three months' salary shows a decline in inflation, and with three months left without salaries, indicates that most miners are heavily indebted and most of the revenues will be the return of debts”, Safet Gerjaliu said.

Until the execution of wages, the miners of “Stan Targut” is on strike and in Trepca, with the aim of maintaining the mines, only election players and pumps are working there. /Dukagini
