There is no chance that this mine can extract lithium in an ecologically sustainable way,” said Savo Manojlovic, leader of Kreni Promeni (Go, Change), the main group behind the protests. “This is not like the West’s green passion.
The protests in Serbia reflect a wider challenge facing the mining industry and policymakers as they shift to cleaner energy. Electrifying the global economy requires more minerals such as copper, lithium and cobalt, yet it is becoming more difficult to overcome the opposition to new mines.
Serbia’s per capita economic output is roughly one-third of Western Europe’s and Belgrade hopes lithium will become an economic mainstay. Rio says the mine would contribute 1 per cent directly and 4 per cent indirectly to the country’s gross domestic product.
The government sees further benefits from making Jadar part of a battery metal supply chain from mining to EV production. The total economic impact, including other investments, could be more than €10 billion ($15.7 billion) annually, as much as 22 per cent of GDP, the government says.
According to documents seen by the Financial Times, Belgrade envisages China’s CATL, the world’s largest battery maker by market share, investing as much as €2.5 billion. Other battery makers such as Germany’s Varta or Slovakia’s InoBat, a Rio-backed company, may add a further €1.5 billion, the government analysis shows.
A carmaker such as Volkswagen could invest €3 billion in EV manufacturing.
The plans remain uncertain, according to some of the companies Serbia hopes to attract. CATL could not be reached for comment. A person familiar with VW’s plans said the company had not committed to any investment in Serbia, one of many options in the region. Varta has no planned investments in Serbia.
Manojlovic said any proceeds from lithium would be a far cry from the government’s upbeat numbers and would not benefit locals. “The mine will benefit Serbians like diamonds benefit the Congolese,” he added.
Beyond its economic consequences, the mine would also have geopolitical impact. Serbia is part of a tussle for influence in the Balkans between the EU, Russia and China. Lithium would allow Belgrade more leverage with the EU, which has fallen behind China in the race for battery materials, and especially Germany, whose carmakers want to source batteries locally rather than depend on Beijing.
Vucic signalled he would work with the EU on the project.
“We have good co-operation with China – but speaking about these raw materials and everything else [about the lithium project] we are ready to sign an agreement with the EU,” he said, adding that in exchange Belgrade wanted EU participation to develop the entire value chain from mining to new cars.
Belgrade has tried to facilitate the Jadar project, but the scale of protests has made Vucic pause. Serbia is due to stage presidential and parliamentary elections in April and the environment has climbed the political agenda.
Vucic visited Jadar this month and said it gave him more sense of the degree of local resistance – to the satisfaction of those campaigning against the mine.

I enjoy more adventure arcs, which have a lot of information. It's hard for me to get bored with adventure arcs because they can be read several times, and little details start to emerge that were missed. Dressrosa was a war arc though, so when the amount of characters starts to inflate a lot of things that could be interesting take the back seat for battle; like dialog, history, and adventure. World building stuff, ya know? The most interesting parts during that time were the back stories. Which I suppose is one way to inject information in to a war arc.One flutter of your wing....
This is a series of personal stories and intimate details from my dancing days I am sharing for paid subscribers only. I will continue to write one free post per week for all unpaid subscribers.
There are the very tangible stories and experiences I can relate about my two years of dancing, but one of the most significant aspects of the whole practice is the smiles. I received more smiles than I can count.

From experience, I say that most of them are kind of brainwashed to believe everything he says. They can be the nicest and kindest of people, but they put all their eggs in the president only. Like, guys, he's a politician that talks but doesn't do anything, just like congress. I think that Trump is the match and his supporters were the gasoline. Trump is a good hype man, but he manages to convince people he actually did a good job. 

This comes from someone who was Republican at one time, but recently became independent after the 2012 election.<reponame>P-DOX/MultiModelNLP
