Prime minister of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci has visited the metallurgic plant of Trep\u00e7e in Stantergut, Mitrovica. From the tenth sector of the mine of Stantergut, he declared that Serbia\u2019s claims on Trep\u00e7e are in vain.
\n\u201cSerbia has no claims in the metallurgic plant of Trep\u00e7e\u201d, said prime minister Thaci during the visit held in this plant, giving assurances that Serb aspirations according to which \u201cTrep\u00e7e works and Belgrade builds\u201d no longer exist.
\n\u201cMiners of Trep\u00e7e have unanimously objected to the \u2018Trep\u00e7e works and Belgrade builds\u2019 policy. Now that we have our freedom and we\u2019re building our state, we must all work and develop Trep\u00e7e and at the same time, Trep\u00e7e wii produce and Kosovo will be built. According to the head of the government, Serbia\u2019s policies and dreams for Trep\u00e7e are in vain since their departure and according to him, they will never come back.
\nThis is the second time that prime minister Thaci descends on the tenth sector of the mine of Stantergut.
\n\u201cI\u2019m here next to the miners in order to offer full support on what they\u2019re doing\u201d, said the prime minister, adding: \u201cTrep\u00e7e is one of the most powerful giants in the Balkan and Europe, it\u2019s the pride of every citizen of Kosovo, in the past, in the present and in the future. This is a property of all citizens of Kosovo, property of miners, property of the state of Kosovo, one of the most powerful resources for economic development of the Republic of Kosovo\u201d.
\nMeanwhile, the minister of Economic Development, Fadil Ismaili says that with Trep\u00e7e going public, a new perspective will open for the development of this plant.
\n\u201cI promise that we will rapidly move forward after the passage of the law in parliament. Trep\u00e7e and miners do not only benefit Mitrovica, because the whole of Kosovo is waiting for Trep\u00e7e to turn into what it has been before, a generator of economic development which will create new jobs.
\nOn the other hand, Ahmet Tmava, head of Trep\u00e7e said that a new era is starting for Trep\u00e7e and that this giant will become part of the powerful development of the country.
\nHe has promised better conditions for all miners.
\nAccording to him, with its professionalism and economic power, Trep\u00e7e will prosper by meeting the expectations of the citizens of Kosovo.
\nPacolli: \u201cTrep\u00e7e\u201d will be given back to the people
\nDeputy prime minister of Kosovo, Behgjet Pacolli said that \u201cTrep\u00e7e\u201d metallurgic plant will neither be sold, nor will it be alienated.
\nAccording to him, this plant will continue to belong to the people of Kosovo. He also said that \u201cTrep\u00e7e\u201d cannot be given in concession, as according to him, this would be a catastrophe for the country.
\n\u201cTrep\u00e7e must be given back to Kosovo and we must preserve it. This plant must continue to work with its people, because they know how to take it forward\u201d, declared he.
\nAccording to him, Trep\u00e7e has been hold to ransom for 15 years. He said that domestic experts will draft a plan for the revitalization of this economic giant of Kosovo.
\nFrom Trep\u00e7e, Pacolli has also called on the Kosovo\u2019s Agency of Privatizations to cancel the open tender for the selection of an international company for the revitalization of one of the biggest mining blocks in the region.
\nBillionaire Pacolli has also responded to rumors that he has interests in Trep\u00e7e.
\n\u201cMy interests are not in Trep\u00e7e, but abroad, this is why nothing relates me to Trep\u00e7e. Everything is for the best interest of the country and economic development of Kosovo\u201d, said he.
\nNecessity for restructuring
\nBardhyl Meta from the German Economic Chamber says that Trep\u00e7e needs to be restructured and that this plant must not be managed by the Kosovo\u2019s Agency for Privatization (KAP).
\nAccording to him, Trep\u00e7e\u2019s issue is still unclear because nobody knows who\u2019s responsible in the failure or who will claim the eventual successes. \u201cNowhere in the world have we seen an agency of privatization which knows how to manage, how to restructure firms and turn them into successful ones. A question naturally arises: Who are the world famous managers who are restructuring Trep\u00e7e?\u201d, says Meta.
\nFor this, Meta believes that further debates are needed, as according to him, Trep\u00e7e is a national asset and no \u201coutrageous\u201d privatizations can be made with it.
\nTrep\u00e7e, a giant in the past in former Yugoslavia
\nAfter the end of the war, from 2000 until 2004, the mine didn\u2019t produce, but prepared production workshops. Thus, in 2005, the mine started the production of the ore of lead and zinc with minimum capacities.
\nThe biggest success of the plant of Trep\u00e7e was reached in 1983, when this plant exported 103 million USD worth of products, being ranked as the fifth biggest exporter in the former Yugoslavia.
\nDuring its 58 years of work, Trep\u00e7e plant has produced 33 million tons of ore containing an average of 9% of lead and zinc and 3 million tons of metal. \/ibna\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
