A Serbian protest group posted on social media on Friday calling for Rio Tinto to be given a “one-way ticket back to Australia”. “Serbia is not for sale!” it said.
fwiw, I believe mining had not even started, if it got through the political / legal process it was slated to begin in 2023.
Serbia has been trying to get one of the big global mining companies to develop the site since about 2002.
I suppose the media and some political groups want you to think it's because of Djoker, but there is no connection.
