Workers of the Kosmet Prevoz company from Kosovska Mitrovica have blocked a road this morning, not allowing buses of other companies to pass through. Kosmet Prevoz workers are not allowing buses driven by the Kolasin Prevoz and other private minibus transporters to pass through the city. Kosovo transportation company workers block road The first blockade is at the bus station in Kosovska Mitrovica and the second in the neighborhood of Balaban, on the highway between Kosovska Mitrovica and Leposavic. President of the Striking Committee Dragan Zivkovic said that the half hour-long blockades started on May 27 and that the workers of Kosmet Prevoz have decided to organize another one today. The reason for the strike is that the Kolasin Prevoz buses depart at the exact same time as the Kosmet Prevoz buses, from Kosovska Mitrovica and Belgrade. Kosmet Prevoz workers believe that their rights are being compromised and are asking for the other company’s buses to start running their route from Zubin Potok, where the company is registered, instead of from Kosovska Mitrovica. The workers are also demanding that inspection looks into some of the minibus companies that are working illegally. Zivkovic said that the workers would not allow buses of the Kolasin Prevoz company and other minibuses working without the proper documentation to pass, but would let others through. Kosovska Mitrovica Municipal President Nenad Toplicevic said that the dispute between the two companies can only be solved by the Ministry of Transportation. “We would recommend that they go to Belgrade together and solve the problem at the ministry,” Toplicevic said, adding that the local self-administration is not authorized to resolve such issues.
