The general director of Trepca mining complex, Ahmet Tmava,  said for Klan Kosova that the revival of Trepca will occur only when the economic giant will be out from the Kosovo Privatization Agency (KPA) and enter into a project that offers development opportunities.  "Trepca is incorrectly placed under the KPA, and should be removed from there as soon as possible. We are against the privatization. For the units that we can prove that can be reactivated, the privatization process is out of question,” said Tmava.

Tmava also said that Trepca mining complex will be able to turn profits only when products here are processed in final products, and as such, are exported. Leaders of the mining complex called on the new government do more about the complex, because, according to them, this complex does not benefit only Mitrovica, but the whole Kosovo.

Currently, Trepca exports only concentration of lead and zinc.
