Aleksandar Vucic
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Dec. 4 that he would propose to the cabinet that it create amendments to the law on expropriation.
"Since the law on expropriation is constitutional, I would sign it, but let us first draw up new legislation to amend that law and let it be sent to the parliament for urgent review, so we can adopt it before the New Year," Vucic said, adding that he would discuss this with the cabinet on Dec. 6.
Vucic said he had visited the village of Gornje Nedeljice to hear out the problems of locals and examine solutions, and to discuss the problems surrounding the announced opening of a lithium mine by the Rio Tinto company in particular. Vucic said he intended to ask the Serbian cabinet to set up a Green Fund for western Serbia, which only the people would decide on, and not the state.
The president of Serbia said that this fund would probably become operational as early as Jan. 1 and that ten million euros would be earmarked for it.
