The Koncar employees were admitted to the Pristina hospital and
treated for the effects of inhaling smoke, but later were sent to
their base, i.e.. a hotel in Kosovo Polje.
The circumstances of the death of the Croatian, who worked as a
member of the Austrian company in the plant, are still unknown.
The fire broke out in the plant in the town of Obilic on Friday
night, and was most probably caused by a thunderbolt. According to
agencies' reports, the fire was extinguished on Saturday, and 34
workers were injured in the accident.
