(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 19 LUG - Serbia and the European Union signed a memorandum of understanding today in Belgrade on a strategic partnership to exploit sustainable raw materials and develop supply chains for batteries and electric vehicles.
    President Aleksandar Vucic, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and European Commission Vice-President and Energy Commissioner Maros Sefcovic participated in the summit on strategic raw materials held in the Serbian capital, where the deal was signed.
    Today's meeting follows Belgrade authorities' recent decision to revisit the project to exploit a significant lithium mine in western Serbia. This project was recently suspended due to massive protests from the population concerned about the negative environmental and health impacts.
