Elbasan, the mystery of platinum
Another 30 kilograms of zinc are also missing

EDMOND ILAÇI
First the water from the cooling towers disappeared, then the copper from the cables, and finally the platinum. Every day, valuable metals and entire pieces of equipment are stolen from the workshops of the former Elbasan Metallurgical Combine. The latest sign of decay is the disappearance of 30 kilograms of zinc.
If the order to shut down several departments of the former combine is enforced, the entrance gate will be guarded only by the civil guard. For the managers of the enterprise, this is the only way to stop the thefts.

Local managers state that there is no budget for security and that supervision is inadequate. In some departments there is no electricity anymore, while industrial water has been cut off for a long time.
