History
editEPS Surface Mining Kosovo was founded by Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) on 21 December 1991.[citation needed]
Following the Kosovo War and NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, the UNMIK administration was established in Kosovo on 1 July 1999, and Elektroprivreda Srbije lost its access to the local coal mines and power plants, including Kosovo A and Kosovo B power plants, which were under jurisdiction of EPS Surface Mining Kosovo.[3]
Since then, government-owned Elektroprivreda Srbija by political decision continued to pay off earnings to all of Kosovo-based EPS companies, including EPS Surface Mining Kosovo employees (the other two EPS companies based on Kosovo are EPS TPP Kosovo and EPS Elektrokosmet).[4] However, all these employees are not working in Kosovo-based power plants, and are only occasionally and indirectly employed by EPS throughout the rest of Serbia.[4] As of May 2009, there was a total of around 7,000 such employees which were working only on paper and receive regular earnings.[5] As of June 2017, that number was cut to 4,539 employees.[4] As of August 2022, a total of 3,300 employees worked for these three companies.[6]
