Over 400 employees have gone on strike inside the Trepca mine in Kosovo demanding the government takes over the administration of the Yugoslav-era giant complex to stop it from liquidation. Trepca spokesman Musa Mustafa said the workers want the government in charge of the complex, which is rich in lead, zinc, silver and gold. On Tuesday Kosovo’s assembly amended a law on public enterprises which enabled it to delay resolving the Trepca issue for another 18 months. Serbia, that rejects Kosovo’s 2008 secession, says no action can be taken without Belgrade’s consent. (AP Photo/Visar Kryeziu)
