More than two decades since it broke away from Serbia in war, Kosovo is trying to claim ownership over more than 160 properties dotted around the former Yugoslavia.

So far, proceedings have been started in the case of two properties in neighbouring Montenegro totalling some 37,500 square metres in the coastal municipality of Budva.

A Belgrade economist has welcomed the call by Safet Gërxhaliu, President of Kosovo's Chamber of Commerce, for Serbian investors to develop businesses in Kosovo.

During his recent visit to Serbia, Gërxhaliu advised Serbian companies to start thinking about opening workplaces in Kosovo where members of the different ethnic groups can work together.
