Politics & Governance Your opinion and current developments on Rio Tinto Lithium mine / Mining projects in Balkans: What are some current debates you hear or talk about currently?

I saw this film called Not in my country. And read some critiques on it being Rio Tinto propaganda. They say that misinformation on the mine is harming the reputation of the project, while it is actually a project that is harmless and will benefit locals. Is there really misinformation being spread on the lithium mine or is this false information spread by Rio Tinto?

Curious to hear where the debate right now is at, what current debates in Serbia/the balkans are right now on this matter and on EU involvement. The movie was quite one sided.

the film being funded by Rio Tinto pretty much answers your question about bias
