Popis: | The paper explores two British missions in Serbia between December 1944 and June 1945, unknown until now. The purpose of both missions was to protect British interests by surveying the state of the Trepča mining complex in Kosovo and Metohija once the war operations were over. A majority stake in the Trepča lead-zinc mines was held by the British company Trepca Mines Limited owned by a mining magnate, Sir Alfred Chester Beatty. The two missions unveiled not only the importance of Trepča for the war effort of the Allies (as the need for lead ore had increased), but also the manner in which the new communist authorities in the Democratic Federative Yugoslavia treated the foreign capital in the country. The documents used in the paper are kept by the U.K. National Archives (TNA) in London. |
