Serbia suspends Bobija mine permit for years-long inactivity

Serbia's mining inspection permanently suspended operations at the Bobija barite and sho surface mine, citing years of inactivity by operator Bobija d.o.o. Ljubovija. The suspension halts any future extraction at the site, though the company's response and any appeal remain unclear. This marks a regulatory enforcement action that could affect local employment and resource development in the Ljubovija area.
