US Ambassador Christopher Hill said on Thursday that the anti-lithium mining protests are in opposition to Serbia’s path westwards.
He told a debate on political options for the Western Balkans that many of the people protesting against plans to mine lithium in western Serbia support Russia.
Opposition leader Dragan Djilas said that Ambassador Hill’s statement about the anti-lithium protests confirmed that he is on Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s payroll. “I really don’t know how else to explain that this is what you see in the fight for democratic values, healthy living, preventing pollution in much of Serbia and for European, that is Western values,” he added.
The Rio Tinto company is planning to open a lithium mine in the Jadar region of western Serbia but has met with mass protests against the plan mainly due to environmental concerns.
I see the struggle against Serbia heading to the West, Hill said adding that he believes the country will take the right direction.
