Kosovo Privatisation Agency

Kosovo Police apprehended, then released, a cameraman in the southern town of Suhareke/Suva Reka filming the eviction of a privatised company put under administration by the Kosovo Privatisation Agency, KPA.

More than two decades since it broke away from Serbia in war, Kosovo is trying to claim ownership over more than 160 properties dotted around the former Yugoslavia.

So far, proceedings have been started in the case of two properties in neighbouring Montenegro totalling some 37,500 square metres in the coastal municipality of Budva.

A vote in the Kosovo Assembly intended to partially privatise the Trepca mine complex, with the government of Kosovo holding the majority of the shares, was postponed just before the start of the parliamentary session on Monday.

The mine complex was Kosovo's most profitable conglomerate during the Yugoslav period before falling into disrepair.

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - Head of the Serbian government office for Kosovo Marko Djuric has said there can be no true normalisation of the relations between Belgrade and Pristina while Serbia's property is being stolen in Kosovo.

BRUSSELS- Director of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) Marko Djuric stated in Brussels on Monday that Belgrade will continue protecting the rights of Serbs in KiM despite the moves of the Pristina government.
