Europe's largest lithium mine likely to get green light in Serbia

🇷🇸 Serbia has huge lithium deposits 🔋 Enough to make 1.1 million EV batteries a year ⛏️ Mining it was blocked on environmental grounds in 2022 🤝 BUT the Serbian government says it's received "new guarantees" by mining giant Rio Tinto and is ready to give it the green light 🟢 This would be Europe's largest and only major lithium mine 💰 It could add £1-12bn to the Serbian economy 🌳 Green campaigners say they'll continue to fight against the plan amid concern over pollution and contamination of drinking water in nearby towns 🪨 As critical minerals and the supply chain of electronics play an ever-crucial role in both a country's economic but also national security picture - this could really change the role Serbia plays on the international stage in years to come.
