Thousands protest in Serbia against lithium mine project
Thousands hit the streets in Serbia's capital Belgrade Saturday to protest the rebooting of a controversial lithium mine set to serve as a vital source to power Europe's green energy transition. Serbia has vast lithium deposits near the western city of Loznica. A mining project being developed by the Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto has been a perennial political fault line in the Balkan country in recent years because of its potential environmental impacts.
