S02E11: The Jadar Project and European Integration: Who Decides?
EU CastWho decides the future of the Jadar project – the European Union or Serbia? In the 11th episode of the SvEUkratko podcast, we discuss the debates surrounding the opening of lithium mines, the status of the EU strategic project, and questions of responsibility. Although the European Commission has included Jadar among key projects for the green transition, the final decision remains with the Serbian authorities. We clarify how the project made it onto the EU list, what the strategic status actually means, and who gave the approval. We also talk about the political dimension of the mine, public protests, and potential environmental consequences. Does lithium bring development or a crisis of trust? Listen to the episode where we separate facts from myths and analyze – who really decides.
