The Discussion opened with the presentation of a preliminary Policy Report entitled: “For a New Policy on Trepca’s Property Status: Its problems and the path ahead”. The Policy Report provides an overview of the Trepca Mining Complex, identifies its current challenges vis-a-vis legal status and management of its assets, as well as discusses its impact on the economic development of the Mitrovica region and Kosovo in general. In addition, the Report offers a list of policy recommendations that would help Kosovo institutions orient their policy and develop a sustainable revitalization strategy for Trepca. The panellists, on the other hand, supported the huge economic and strategic importance of Trepca and offered arguments on the orientation that Kosovo Government should take in revitalizing Trepca.
