Kosovo is on the verge of an energy collapse with its power corporation holding only two-weeks worth of coal reserves.
The problem is there for all to see in the village of Shipitulle where large and rusted excavators, resembling Transformers, stand idle.
They can’t get to the coal, even though there is lots of it.
Kosovo has more than 14 billion tonnes of proven lignite reserves, the fifth largest in the world. But it has been forced to burn up coal reserves to feed its two creaking power plants.
