The Ministry of Mining and Energy has announced that it has not granted approval to the company “Edelweis Mineral Exploration” for lithium and boron exploration near Šabac. The ministry refuted media claims about alleged lithium and boron exploration in Šabac and Bogatić, emphasizing that such plans are not part of the Bogatić spatial plan until 2035. According to the ministry, claims about “digging” are the result of a misinterpretation of a public document, leading to the spread of misinformation.
The ministry says no permit was given for lithium research.
