Anti-Mining Protests Hit Serbia, President Vucic Slams “Mockery Of Democracy”, Alleges Coup Bid



Thousands took to the streets in Serbia’s capital Belgrade to protest against the rebooting of a controversial lithium mine. The protests came after the government was given a deadline to ban the exploration and exploitation of lithium which expired on August 10. Massive protests gripped Serbia amid warning of a plot to topple populist President Aleksandar Vucic and his government. Earlier, Vucic said he had been tipped by the Russian intelligence services that a “mass unrest and a coup” was being planned. The protests in Serbia are being compared to the Maidan uprising in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv that led to the toppling of then president Viktor Yanukovych in 2013.

  1. Dragii presednice scholz nas je obtuzio za genozid sta trazii u beogradu hoce da nasu drzavu da razrovi sa rio tinto vrati tu miliardu i neka ide u nemacku da traze litium tamo ima a da nemamo para da vratimo samo uzmii putarinu

  2. Mines have existed since ancient times. And the lithium mine in Serbia would be underground, not surface like the mines shown in the graphics for this video. The only pollution it would cause would be from refining, not mining. There is so much disinformation about this, it is sad how the journalists keep the public in ignorance about this issue and so many others

  3. Serbia has between 1.2 and 2.3 milions of thons of lithium-carbonate. Germany has between 16 and 40 milions. 16 milions of thons of lithium is enough for 200 years of electric car producing.

  4. PROTEST ARE NOT AGAINST PUTIN ALLY OR PUTINS ENEMY.
    SERBIA BELONGS TO SERBIAN PEOPLE, NOT TO PUTIN, NOT OT SHOLTZ, NOT TO VUČIĆ AND HIS MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS.
    SERBIA BELONGS TO SERBIAN PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WHO LIVES IN SERBIA.
    AND WE WILL DECIDE WHAT WILL BE WITH OUR LITHIUM, NOT VUČIĆ, NOT RIO TINTO, NOT OLAF SHOLTZ OR EUROPEAN COMISION AND MARTIN ŠEVČEVIĆ.
    PROTEST ARE AGAINST LITHIUM MINING IN SERBIA. WE ARE FULL OF DIRTY INDUSTRIES, WE DO NOT WANT ONE MORE. END.

  5. Ovako se menja vlast sa voljom naroda.Najviša instanca je narod a ne vlada.Narod mora da zna kuda idu njihove pare.
    Ako narod neće da se njihova država uništava,onda tu vlada mora da radi u ime naroda jer je vladu izabrao narod.Bez naroda nema države a to i žele globalisti da unište narod i zamene sa umetnom inteligencijom ili tobotima.Vi u vladi mislite i na svoju decu jer globalisti žele da ostave "zlatnu milijardu".Tu dpadaju samo inženjeri i vojska-roboti bi radili sve.To da vi govorite da je teorija zavere.
    Odakle vladi vlast ako joj narod ne da.Ako ne vlada u ime volje naroda,onda je narod ima pravo zameniti.Ni jedna država nije od vlade i indtitucija.I vlada i institucije su tu da rade za narod a ne da prodaju zemlju koja nije njihova nego narodna.Narod ima pravo i ne treba da dozvoli državnim institucijama da prodaju zemlju i uništavaju narod.
    Vlada nije zato da prodaje svoj narod jer svi imperiji su propali pa i ovaj he ptopao a to dokazuju protesti po celom svetu.
    Vi u vladi, pogrešno vladate i time je kraj, sada.

  6. Vucic is not Putin's ally. He's a traitor, and biggest criminal and drug lord in history of Serbia. He's paid from the west to turn Serbia into mining colony of EU and destroy Serbian relations with Russia. He turned Serbia in police state where police, criminals and hooligans are all together, paid to work for his cartel..

  7. БОРИМО СЕ СЕСТРЕ БРАЋО. ГРАЂАНИ МАЈДАНПЕКА СМЕДЕРЕВА БОРА.ПРОТИВ КИНЕСКОГ РАКА НА УЛИЦАМА ЈЕ БОРБА.❤❤❤

  8. I was at the protest. You know what the most common sight was? Mothers with their children… And zero political parties. Don't trust a single lying word coming out of the so called president of Serbia because he is a manipulative PoS.
    Also, there weren't 24 000 people, there were 100 000+

  9. Нећемо рудник смрдљивог литијума у прелепој Србији. Лопови и издајници српског народа хоће да уништи целу Србију и сатре Српски народ. Стом и велико НЕ !!! 🇷🇸❤️🌲🍀🍏🏞️
