The Union of Trepca Miners has reacted to the communiqué of the government of Kosovo regarding the recent situation.

The miners have said that they are not responsible for the management and finances of the enterprise. In response, the Trepca Miners' Union emphasized that responsibility should be sought by the board and management.

“The miners have proven with work and dedication the obligation they had, that is, the highest production even though we did not have the basic conditions for work, such as safety at work, which we have always been at risk of.

The ones who should be accountable in the first place are the management and the board, which have always been appointed by the government, so that is where responsibility and accountability should be sought…

It's time for you as the government to reflect because we as miners have warned you long ago, we tried to show you our dissatisfaction with the mining test and with strikes, but even that was not enough,” the reaction said among other things.

Understand that we are not asking for something illegitimate, we are asking for the payment of our labor, that is, the pay that comes from the Labor Law.

Do not condemn the miners, demand accountability from those who mismanaged.
