Brnabic: Foreign services politicised Jadar project in 2022 to slow down Serbia's development

BELGRADE - Serbian Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic said on Wednesday foreign services had politicised the Jadar lithium mining project in 2022 to slow down Serbia's development.

Speaking at a press conference in the parliament building, Brnabic said what had happened in 2022 was a result of "games" by foreign services.

"Certain foreign services knew we would push this project through because it is safe for Serbia and because it is good for the future of Serbia, and that they would weaken Aleksandar Vucic and have their cake and eat it," Brnabic said when asked why the government had halted the Jadar project in 2022.
