Green activists were prevented on Aug. 7 from attending a public debate on a draft strategy on mineral resources which is being held in the Serbian Chamber of Commerce.
Several dozens of citizens gathered in front of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce early on Aug. 7, including representatives of the Ecological Uprising and the We Won't Give Up Jadar organization, to attend the public debate organized by the Ministry of Mining and Energy.
