Thousands of people in Serbia gathered in various towns on Monday to protest a lithium excavation project that the government recently signed with the European Union. The protests took place in Sabac, Kraljevo, Arandjelovac, Ljig, and Barajevo, following similar demonstrations in other Serbian towns in recent weeks.
The agreement, focusing on 'critical raw materials,' aims to reduce Europe's reliance on China and potentially bring Serbia closer to the EU. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz participated in the summit held in Belgrade to discuss this deal.
