Actor Nenad Jezdic said on Aug. 1 that the 400 hectares of land that were needed for a planned lithium mine's compound alone was enough to grow four million kilograms of plums worth EUR955,000 on.
Jezdic told BETA that the damages that agriculture would suffer in the Jadar valley were much greater than the mine rent for exploiting lithium and boron. Commenting on protests against opening the mine, Jezdic said that "these are the days that everyone needs so badly."
"There is nothing better than seeing the people united and in harmony," he stressed. He also said that he had been creating his life, family and every other perspective in the countryside and through agriculture.
Asked by BETA for his stance on the possible opening of the lithium mine and protests by citizens against it, Jezdic recalled that professors from the School of Biology had warned that the 400 hectares of land that were needed just for the mining facility would be permanently ruined.
