EPS Elektrokosmet (Serbian: ЕПС Електрокосмет) is a Serbian state-owned transmission system operator company for electricity with the headquarters in Pristina, Kosovo. It is specialized in the transmission of electrical power.

History[]

EPS Elektrokosmet was founded by Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) on 27 December 1989.

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 Elektrokosmet.[3]

Since then, government-owned Elektroprivreda Srbija by political decision continued to pay off earnings to all of Kosovo-based EPS companies, including EPS Elektrokosmet employees (the other two EPS companies based on Kosovo are EPS Surface Mining Kosovo and EPS TPP Kosovo).[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]

Notes[]

  1. ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008. Serbia continues to claim it as a part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognised as an independent state by 97 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 112 UN member states have recognised Kosovo at some point, of which 15 states later withdrew their recognition.
