Serbian far-right leader vows to block lithium mining if elected

Miloš Jovanović, head of the 'Authentic Right' electoral list, pledged to prohibit lithium mining in Serbia should his coalition win upcoming elections. This adds a political risk factor to Rio Tinto's Jadar lithium project, which has faced prior public opposition. The statement signals potential policy reversal if the far-right gains power, though electoral prospects remain uncertain.
