Historical review and actual situation of metallurgy at Kosovo and Metohija

Abstract

Historical review and actual situation of metallurgy at Kosovo and Metohija has been presented in this paper. That region is known by metallurgical production of ferrous and nonferrous precious metals from ancient times to nowadays. By the end of twentieth century, the production of ferronickel started. The destruction of Yugoslavia and wars during nineties caused the stop of production. Beside the presence of the international forces in the last six years, there was no renewal of metallurgical production.
