Kosovo has a slowly developing plain industry. In 2009, the Industry accounted for 22.60 of GDP and a general workforce of 800,000 employees. It's on (150 ) th place, compared to the rest of the world. There are numerous reasons for this kind of stagnation, ranging from consecutive occupations, political turmoil and the recent Kosovo War (1999).〔Asllan, Pushka. "Gjeografia 12". Libri Shkollor (2005). p. 77.〕 == Overview == Kosovo has several industry sectors, as the most developed ones are: Ferrous and Non-Ferrous, Metallurgy and Mining. In northern Kosovo, near the town of Mitrovica, sits a huge dilapidated industrial site known as the Trepca mining complex. During the 1980s, it employed 20,000 workers and accounted for 70 percent of all Yugoslavia's mineral wealth. One economist described Trepca as a "colossal conglomerate composed of more than forty mines, foundries, and subsidiary plants – which (its height ) generated 25 percent of the entire regional industrial production and figured among the principal exporters of the ex-Yugoslavia.' According to the same study, 'In the subsoil of Kosovo, one of the richest of Europe, enormous deposits are hidden of lignite, lead, zinc, non-ferric metals, gold, silver and petroleum," on top of 17 billion tons of coal.〔Asllan, Pushka. "Gjeografia 12". Libri Shkollor (2005). p. 78.〕 Other developed industry sectors in Kosovo are Energy, Textile and Food Industries, Tourism, etc. Kosovo Energy Corporation J.S.C (KEK) is the sole power corporation in the Republic of Kosovo. KEK is vertically integrated and was legally incorporated in 2005. KEK was part of the Yugoslavia power system, and focused in production of energy from coal, with power supplied from plants outside of Kosovo. By the late 1990s, the core business of the Corporation became the production of coal and energy in Kosovo, through two open-cast coal mines - the Mirash mine and Bardh mine〔 - and two power plants, PP Kosova A power station and PP Kosova B power station, which cover the territory of Kosovo. There are approximately 400,000 customers and 8,000 employees in different sectors.〔Asllan, Pushka. "Gjeografia 12". Libri Shkollor (2005). p. 79.〕 There was no privatization of other sectors; hence most of them are dysfunctional.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Industry of Kosovo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
