VUSHTRRI, Kosovo/ASOTTHALOM, Hungary (Reuters) - Bajram Abazi has lost half his workforce in little over a month, claimed by a sudden surge in emigration from Kosovo.

"I've already lost 11 and now another worker has told me he's leaving tonight," said Abazi, owner of the Be Commerce biscuit factory in the northern Kosovo town of Vushtrri. "It's becoming the culture – everyone else is going, so we should too."
