World Union Association opposes Kosovo privatizations
BELGRADE – The World Association of Union Workers has requested that UNMIK and the Kosovo Assembly halt their announced plans to
privatize Kosovo companies.
Arguing that privatizations should not go ahead until Serbian and Montenegrin workers are allowed to return, a letter from the world body to the Kosovo authorities said:
“Around 400 society companies in Kosovo cannot go up for tender until exiled Serbian and Montenegrin workers of those companies are permitted to return.
“Nobody but the state has the right to sell companies as their own, so UNMIK, KFOR and the Kosovo Assembly must halt their announced
privatizations of the province’s collective companies.”
The World Association of Union Workers, with over a 130 million members worldwide, have announced that they will be sending a delegation to Kosovo next week.
