Subject: [wounded_earth] Mine takeover

Zdravo!

Last week I heard the new that a mine in Kosovska Mitrovica had been closed by the western forces (I think they were British, I'm not sure). The official reason was that it produced too much pollution... Well, I find this issue quite alarming. I don't think they care much about pollution. Anyway, they could have taken into account that there are difficult times in Kosovo and that they had left many people without a job.

Have you more information about the subject? For example, what is exactly the value of this mine? Are there more similar mines / natural resources in the areas where the Serbian population lives? Which is their situation, that is, have the western forces closed (took over) any other source of production / goods / raw materials, etc? What is supposed to happen with these sources now?

I'm so sorry about what they are doing in Kosovo. In any other situation, it would be called exploitation, robbery or even vandalism. But it's the West who is doing so, and it seems that nobody can argue against the World Police.

To be a self-appointed Peace Force doesn't give them the right to steal what doesn't belong to them, especially if it's about another nation's richness and about common people's jobs.
