Despite protests, Serbia is gearing up to dive into lithium mining as early as 2028, with President Aleksandar Vučić paving the way for the project in collaboration with Rio Tinto and the EU. The Jadar lithium mining project, aiming to establish Europe's largest lithium mine, is back on the table with renewed efforts from the company involved in the plan. President Vučić is set to reapprove Rio Tinto's blocked lithium project, ensuring Serbia's place in the global lithium market.

Serbian Parliament Speaker, Ana Brnabic, sought a debate and approval for Rio Tinto's lithium project, highlighting the ongoing discussion and controversy surrounding the mining initiative. As the country prepares to give the green light to Rio Tinto, the project's progress signals significant economic and environmental implications for Serbia. Plans for resuming the lithium project are in motion, with Serbia on the brink of a major milestone in energy and technology.

President Vučić's announcement of Serbia's readiness to mine lithium by 2028, in partnership with Rio Tinto, solidifies the country's position in the global lithium market. With the potential to develop Europe's largest lithium mine, Serbia's involvement in the project marks a significant step towards energy sustainability and economic growth. As the debate continues in the Serbian parliament, all eyes are on the country's lithium mining project, set to reshape the region's energy landscape.
