Ravishment of the material treasure of Kosovo and Metohija by international and domestic factors
Abstract
The material and cultural treasures of Kosovo and Metohija have been written and spoken about for decades, even centuries. Somehow, this story about both treasures, both for us and for others, and here we also mean various international factors, never loses its significance. Although the territory of Kosovo and Metohija, as it has been known since 1999, is not under the jurisdiction of the state of Serbia, this topic is not extreme. Conflicts, wars, riots and the like in the territory of Kosovo and Metohija are an inseparable part of its history, and the background of all these unpleasant events is not only the territory as such, but precisely its enormous wealth that it possesses. In our paper, we referred to those riches, primarily ores, and why many have the desire to rule the southern Serbian province. The more brokers there are at various levels and in various areas in those areas, the less justice and rights there are, especially when it comes to the rights of the Serbian people and the protection of both their property and the property of the state of Serbia. In that sense, we pointed out the objective inability of the existing Kosovo judiciary to do its job, but also the subjective reasons, which are mostly of a political nature.
