Opposition claims that the Chinese are taking over another mine in Serbia

Spiric argued that instead of allowing the Chinese to extract all of Serbia's resources, the president should focus on improving living conditions and rights for people in southern Serbia to keep them from leaving.
"Stop pretending to be blind and deaf to the paradox that people in Lece, where gold is mined, live without normal electricity and water supply in the 21st century, while miners have had their privileged work status revoked. Stop using our country as a commodity and citizens as instruments," she stressed.

She added that Vucic is deliberately neglecting the south of Serbia with his policy.
