Why Serbia's White Gold is so controversial
Why is Serbia's 'white gold' so controversial? The EU and Serbia have signed a 'historic' deal establishing a strategic partnership, as the former Yugoslav country pushes ahead with a controversial lithium mine project. CNBC's Gaelle Legrand looks at the reasons behind this deal.
➡️ The $2.4 billion Jadar lithium mine would be led by Australian mining company Rio Tinto.
➡️ Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets, worried about environmental damage.
➡️ Global lithium demand is expected to rise sharply by 500% by 2030, driven by the need for batteries for electric vehicles.
