BELGRADE - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Friday in Belgrade the Jadar lithium mining project was good for Serbia and the prospects of economic development across the region, and noted that the highest environmental protection standards would be observed in the process.
"The European Commission and Serbia have just signed an important agreement that will boost our cooperation on raw materials supply.
