Thanks for posting that up, been eagerly awaiting some new articles re Serbia and RIO. The article was surprisingly solid for ‘the guardian’ although some extremities , ‘remembers the day the RIO Tinto men arrived’ as if they’re a ghost cult and Serbia’s president ’dying of laughter’ at the protestors -_- .. really don’t think that’s quoted right.

It is so tough, to take a clear stance on it RIO is rolling out enviro friendly ad’s in Serbia which I don’t think will do much but their Plans are just so grand that I can’t see them failing now.. they are already in the starting stages of planned mining.

” The EU, with which Serbia has an association agreement facilitating trade and regional funding, imports all its battery-grade lithium from outside Europe. Talks about supplying leading German car manufacturers have begun. Four 40ft shipping containers carrying the infrastructure for a lithium processing plant have set sail for Serbia from Australia.

The project is gathering momentum. “

The Serb president knows that it’s a Catch-22 I think he has a heart for the protests and is paying the land owners well + 2000+ Jobs being created - But at the same time he has a far bigger picture of Serbia’s future in frame. Vucic wants the word Serbia to be synonymous with European lithium and that’s coming from even a pro-protestor article..
