Prishtina [Pristina], 31 Jul (KosovaLive) – Nita Vula walked towards her supervisor, arm outstretched, with a smile across her face. A spider bite had just caused her hand to swell to nearly double its normal size, but she was not worried. The bite was nothing compared to the dangers she faces every day at her job. Vula is the only female de-miner that works in the Civil Protection Brigade (CPB) division of the Kosovo Protection Corps (TMK).
Each day they are making progress in clearing Kosova of land mines, cluster bombs, and other unexploded ordinance. Children and farmers can then feel safer to use that land. And officials predict that the country will be free of unexploded mines within 5 years.
