BELGRADE Ministry for Kosovo State Secretary Oliver Ivanovic says that Kosovo's privatization agency planned to privatize enterprises in the north of the province. He stressed that the companies were built solely with money from Serbia and added that Serbia needed to prevent it from happening. “Privatization in northern Kosovo must be prevented” He told Tanjug that through plans to privatize two Serbian enterprise operating in the north, Pristina “wants to reinforce its position ahead of the negotiations on the north, which are inevitable,” adding that such moves by Pristina were making the talks absurd. “Such a move is absolutely unacceptable because the two factories, as well as some other ones that have are already been privatized, were created by the Republic of Serbia by its own funds,” Ivanovic pointed out. “Serbia must prevent this from happening,” said the state secretary, adding that, in case the privatization occurred after all, the Serb population in the north could be expected to react. Tanjug has learned that the Kosovo Privatization Agency is in October planning to invite prospective buyers to offer bids to purchase the two enterprises, which have a majority Serb workforce. The Kosovo Privatization Agency intends to sell PPT, a joint bearings factory from Leposavic, a small northern Kosovo town, and Lola-Fot, a parts, components and machinery factory producer located in Lesak, Leposavic municipality, without the consent of the owners of these enterprises. Both factories are socially owned and employ mostly Serbs. The Pristina authorities have privatized near half of the 1,358 Serbian companies in Kosovo and the issue should be one of the topics of the technical dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade in Brussels. According to UN Security Council Resolution 1244, the property is controlled by UNMIK, rather than by the Albanian institutions. According to data from 1998, about 78,000 Serbs were employed in the public enterprises in Kosovo but no worker of Serbian nationality has been allowed to exercise their right to acquire a stake in the privatizations.
