Portalino (Italy) October 18, 2008 Kosovo economically unsustainable -[D]uring the 1980s, 250,000 people had been in work, while now more than 60 percent of Kosovo’s population was unemployed. According to him, UNMIK had made a mistake by turning Kosovo into an “independent economic island”. The Kosovo economy is only sustainable as an integral part of Serbia’s economy, claims the head of the economic team for Kosovo Nenad Popovic. At a promotion of his book, “Openly on Kosovo and Metohija’s Economy”, Popovic said that research showed that Kosovo’s economy had only progressed while it had been integrated with that of Serbia. "Serbia needs to continue to invest in Serb communities in Kosovo, and thus defend its territory economically,” Popovic said, adding that during the 1980s, 250,000 people had been in work, while now more than 60 percent of Kosovo’s population was unemployed. According to him, UNMIK had made a mistake by turning Kosovo into an “independent economic island”. The book, among other things, talks about Kosovo’s potential, including large lignite ore deposits, and the possibilities for development in the fields of agriculture and energy. The book goes in depth to describe the key parts of the long-term economic strategy for the rejuvenation of the Serb community in Kosovo, including the possibility of turning Sar Mountain and Prokletije into huge tourist centers. Popovic wrote his book using information from 400 bibliographic sources and his experiences and meetings with businessmen in Kosovo during his numerous visits to the province. __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 3532 (20081017) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com ------------------------------------ =============== Group Moderator: [Е-ПОШТА ЗАШТИЋЕНА] page at http://magazine.sorabia.net for more informations about current situation in Serbia http://www.sorabia.net Slusajte GLAS SORABIJE nas talk internet-radio (Serbian Only) http://radio.sorabia.net Yahoo!
