Owners of Trepča are shareholders, not the Serbia (Vesti online)
The majority owner of Trepča Complex is not Serbia, but the Serbian shareholders who have about 70 per cent of the capital of this former giant enterprise. These are Yugobanka, Beobanka, Beogradska banka, Goša, Ikaterm, Jedinstvo, Progres, Genex, Zorka, 14 Octobar,...
“The document with this data was submitted to UNMIK and its chief Bernard Kouchner in 2000. Shareholders of Trepca and the Government of Serbia should be guided only by this document, which is the best evidence when it comes to the negotiations over the fate of Trepca,” said Milan Radivojevic, a former manager of the Trepca, wondering why the shareholders and the state does not use this argument.
A copy of the "key evidence" Radivojevic showed to the public on Leposavic based TV station Mir, stating that he is ready to show the document to the Government of Serbia.
The management of Trepča Complex submitted to Couchner paper which proved that the Serbian state owns 30.33 per cent of Trepča, and that 69.67 per cent of the enterprise is the share capital. If so, Trepca is a joint-stock company i.e. private property. “However, Kouchner, partially referring to this paper, used the powers which UNMIK have by UN Resolution 1244 and in 2000 instigated KFOR which then occupied Trepča. If he would have the names of shareholders and their share in the ownership of this giant enterprise he might have acted differently,” said Radivojevic.
UNMIK administration transferred jurisdiction to the Government of Kosovo and Serbia's insistence that the Development Fund, or the state of Serbia, is a majority owner of Trepča is in favour of the Kosovo government, which assumed all jurisdiction of the UNMIK over the state property.
