The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa, said at the press conference after today’s meeting of the government, that the government has approved the decision for establishment of the commission for Trepca draft law.

He said that the commission for Trepca will continuously report to the government about its work and according to him this is the first step towards the fulfillment of promises for the long term solution to Trepca’s statute.

The Trepca miners today announced that they if Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa doesn’t take any action regarding Trepca, they would continue their strike which they suspended in late January this year. "The strike that was suspended in January might as well continue again. We demand solving Trepca’s status and approving the law on Trepca,” said Trepca’s director, Qazim Jashari.

The number of Kosovars seeking asylum in the EU has drastically increased. It poses a challenge to recipient countries in the region, including Germany, and is on the agenda at Kosovo-Serbia talks in Brussels. Seven years after declaration of independence from Serbia, Kosovo is seeing a dramatic rise in the number of its citizens leaving to escape unemployment and poverty.
