Erected in 1973, the monument is on a promontory named Miner’s Hill,[1] located above Mitrovica, Kosovo.

[2] The idea of building the monument was put forward in 1959 on the day of the 20th anniversary of the Trepch miners' strike.

Another definition states that the monument is similar to vans carrying ore from a mine to a metallurgical plant.

The cenotaph in front of the monument consists of four white tombstones with the names of the killed Albanian and Serbian partisans.

The lower part of the columns is covered with graffiti, and most of the copper plates on the sides of the gutters fell off over time due to lack of maintenance and weather conditions.
