High in the Cursed Mountains that span Kosovo and Montenegro, lumberjack Rame Elezaj and his family have earned a living from their trees for decades.
But if Kosovo’s parliament approves a border deal with Montenegro on Thursday, all 4.5 hectares of Elezaj’s land will designated to be in another country, while his house will remain in Kosovo.
“We have always used this land and Montenegro never had any issues, and now our government wants to give it away for free,” the 61-year-old told Reuters.
