"Subsequently, the Prime Minister moved to Košťany for working meetings with the mayors of the municipalities affected by lithium mining. Together with the Minister of Industry and Trade Jozef Síkela and the Minister of the Environment Petr Hladík, he discussed with representatives of the municipalities the benefits of the project for the region, as well as the concerns of local residents.
"My government is the first that is ready to act and look for such a solution that will be beneficial for the region and the surrounding municipalities and at the same time will allow the use of such essential lithium reserves that we have available here," said the Prime Minister . The local lithium deposit contains around three percent of the world's supply of this raw material, which is key for the production of batteries."
I understand that people may be concerned about such a large project, especially when it comes to mining, which the Ústí Region is still marked by today. But I believe that we are able to come to an agreement in such a way that in the end everyone will be satisfied and the Ústí Region and the Czech Republic will become the lithium powerhouse of Europe thanks to this," said the Prime Minister, adding that the region has the potential to acquire the entire production chain.
