A lithium mine in Serbia could rev up Europe's e-vehicles, but opposition is fierce
Briefly

Jakovljevic warns that proposed lithium mining poses a significant threat to local bee populations, which are crucial for pollinating the valley's crops, potentially creating a devastating ecological impact.
Residents of the Jadar Valley are concerned that the demand for lithium to support electric vehicles cannot come at the cost of local ecosystems, fueling a growing protest movement.
The Jadar Valley's mining project aims to cater to Europe's lithium needs, yet could undermine the delicate balance of its local environment, particularly affecting beekeeping practices.
Mining efforts here could devastate local biodiversity, as pollution from lithium extraction threatens vital resources, such as water, that bees depend on for survival.
