Tens of thousands of protesters gathered in Belgrade, Serbia, on August 10, 2024, to oppose lithium mining, despite government warnings of a plot to destabilize the populist government led by President Aleksandar Vučić. Critics argue that mining would cause irreversible environmental damage, particularly in the Jadar valley, while the government insists it is necessary for economic growth and development. The protests have united citizens against perceived threats to ecological safety and governmental authority.
