Sure, but what's with the hats?

Those are traditional miner dress uniform hats here (called 'czako'). Colours of the feather tell the function in the mine. Green means upper management.

This will be painful but necessary. I hope they will manage the process better than Germany.

The process is ongoing since 90's last century. In some places going smooth (like my city, now full of modern industry) and quite painfully in others.
