>but specifically re Kosovo, eg, the Trepca mines, as far as i'm aware,
were privatised after the miners' strikes of 1988/90, with the main
beneficiaries being, as they have been in Russia, various govt members and
their families. after the privatisation, and with the kosovo miners still
on strike, workers (scabs) were brought in from places like poland and
bosnia; and a greek company was brought in as a major investment partner.
what do you know of the ownership of the resources we're talking about
here? are they, were they, privately or publicly-owned?<
