Meanwhile, as the Serbs and Albanians remain at odds over the borders of their cantons, Kosovo's mineral and industrial resources are slipping into private foreign hands. The UN administrators of the province have approved the sale of the Ferronikeli nickel smelting complex to Swiss-based International Mineral Resources, a company with mining assets in the Balkans, Central Asia and Africa. A steel mill, rubber plant and flour mill have also recently been privatized. (FT, Aug. 11)
