German chancellor Olaf Scholz and Vice President of the European Commission for Energy, Maroš Šefčovič, will come to Serbia on July 19 at the invitation of the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić, and during that visit the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Union (EU) and Serbia on strategic partnership will be signed about sustainable raw materials and production chains of batteries and electric vehicles, N1 finds out.
The signatory of the Memorandum on Strategic Partnership on behalf of the EU will be Maroš Šefčovič, writes N1.
"Green Deal"
German journalist Michael Martens announced on July 15 that several sources in Berlin confirmed to him that there are concrete, but not yet final, plans for Scholz's imminent visit to Serbia with the above-mentioned agenda, "provided that open judicial issues are resolved or are on the verge solutions".
Martens said on his X social network account that the topic of the meeting was "lithium for the German (auto) industry."
The German Ministry of Economy concluded an "institutional partnership" with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, which includes the industrial-political development of Serbia in accordance with the "Green Deal" within the EU, as well as the strengthening of supply chains,
"Although the Greens sit in the German government and know about the threat to the environment and deficits in Serbia's democracy, they are pushing the project in Berlin, because a mine in Serbia could cover most of Germany's needs," writes Deutsche Welle.
It was stated that Vučić believes that Rio Tinto and the EU have removed all doubts about the environmental safety of the project, and that the leading people of economics and politics could come to Belgrade to officially announce the project.
Removal of the last legal obstacles
In May 2024, the media in Serbia reported that the removal of the last legal obstacles to the implementation of the trade partnership between the EU and Serbia for the supply of lithium from the Jadar region was being considered.
A few days ago, the Constitutional Court of Serbia made a decision that the previous government decree banning the "Jadar Project" was not constitutional, so the "legal obstacles" were officially removed, so the government put its own decree banning the "Jadar Project" out of the forces on Tuesday again adopted.
At that time, Šefčović stated that an official trade partnership on the supply of critical raw materials from Serbia is being prepared and that negotiations regarding legal obstacles are in the final phase.
Preparations for the signing of a trade agreement between the EU and Serbia began in September 2023 with the signing of a letter of intent, with the aim of strengthening and expanding cooperation regarding critical raw materials and supply chains for electric cars.
