Serbian part of Trepca arranged export: Lead ore for the Brits and zinc for the Poles (Vesti)
Part of the Trepca mine controlled by the northern Kosovo Serbs will earn this year more than 24 million through export of lead-zinc concentrate, which is excavated in mines Belo Brdo and Crnac.
From the sale of lead concentrate, which will be exported to the company Meneko International Limited in London, Serbs in northern Kosovo will earn 18 million and 650,000 euros. Management of Trepca in Zvecan expects additional 5.5 million euro from the export of zinc concentrate to a well-known company from Beloslava in Poland.
In the Serbian part of Trepca work approximately 2,000 people, who regularly receive salaries and support their families. With better organization, better equipment for the excavation and re-opening of the mines Zuta prla and Koporić on Kopaonik, production of lead-zinc ore, which has a significant percentage of silver, could be doubled, and at least a thousand Serbs hired.
