It doesn\u2019t look like a mine to me, it\u2019s shameful and an insult to all of us and our intelligence. They can\u2019t be called mines and we have continually raised the issue, calling for these mines to stop been issued a license,\u201d \u2013 said Nikollaj.<\/p>\n<p>The president of the Confederate of Syndicates continued by saying that despite the fact that some companies have been suspended their licenses, they are still working.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main liability lies with the government; the government should be responsible for its citizens, the enforcement of laws and the creation of spaces for groups of interest, including unions,\u201d \u2013 said Nikollaj.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe jurisdiction of these structures should be taken away from the government; they should be independent law-enforcement agencies. As long as they continue like this, we\u2019ll have the same situation on our hands,\u201d \u2013 said Nikollaj.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/06\/30\/over-the-last-5-years-albania-registered-133-victims-due-to-workplace-accidents\/\">Over the last 5 years \u2013 Albania registered 133 victims due to workplace accidents<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/06\/14\/virtual-work-and-career-fair-with-a-focus-on-youth-to-take-place-on-june-16th\/\">Virtual Work and Career Fair, with a focus on youth to take place on June 16th<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/programs\/travellers\/2021\/06\/24\/3-best-kept-secrets-you-must-see-in-bulqiza\/\">3 best-kept secrets you must see in Bulqiza<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the President of the Confederate of Syndicates, Kol Nikollaj, the government is responsible for the current issues facing miners in Albania.
