Strike hits Kosovo biggest mine complex Trepca

About 250 miners of the biggest mine complex in Kosovo "Trepca" started a strike on Tuesday less than 24 hours after the Kosovo assembly failed to adopted a law on the status of the mine.
The director of the mine complex, Ahmet Tmava, said the strikers gathered in the tenth horizon 650 meters deep, and demand an official explanation on the destiny of the mine.
"Actually they are not working and are asking for guarantees from officials and institutions, after the failure of resolving Trepca status last evening," said Tmava.
Kosovo Assembly intended to partially privatise the mine complex, with the Kosovo authorities holding the majority of the shares, but the draft law was rejected shortly after the vote.
