Not different at all from other mines in Serbia. Yet the Serbs have become duped by the word “lithium” as if it is some death metal. They remain silent about the vast copper mining and new gold mines planned – all which will create hundreds of good paying jobs and new tax base for years to come. Jadar is a generational opportunity that will create thousands of good paying professional jobs, spin off battery and auto industries and would be transformation for Serbia. To oppose this is nothing short of stupidity and insanity.

No, thank you.
And lithium is yesterday news anyway.
Good call, block the project with your lives.
I don’t think RioT understands the determination of this nation.
