In an interview on Insider television, the famous actress Svetlana Ceca Bojković she touched everything. From Proglas, through his acting career, all the way to- of lithium.
"So what does a person have to know, if he breathes bad air, if the land, water and air are stolen, what is there, what knowledge is important?" It's normal for people to react. However, they immediately declare you ignorant", Bojković told TV Insider.
She talked about how she was often told that it would be best if she just did acting, and that she should just avoid politics. However, she does not take those criticisms to heart and continues her activism because she knows that as a citizen she has the right to her opinion.
The fight will continue
When asked by an Insider journalist in the 3D show, what he thinks about people who remain silent and are afraid to come forward, Bojković replied that there is apathy, but also that people are slowly waking up.
"It's a fight that will last, so we'll see." And now when someone enters that fight, here is the last example, Emir Kusturica also entered with a statement that he will fight with his life to ensure that there is no lithium mining here. And now, threats and very strong hate speech have already been sent by some phantom association "We will dig", said Bojković.
At the expense of the "Kopajemo" association, he criticizes the non-transparency of their work, which, he believes, is reflected in the fact that they know nothing about the people behind the site and profiles on social networks.
"And they made a photograph, a montage of the tombstone for Kusturica." It's evil, it's not just hate.”
"It seems to the authorities that their lives depend on Rio Tinto"
Bojković says that there are cases where the play is canceled in some places in Serbia, because due to her activism, the presidents of those municipalities do not want her to be in their city.
"The problem is that the top government is stuck around Rio Tinto so much." As if their life depends on it, they fight like that. And it is likely that a lot depends on what. Maybe it's an extension of staying in power."
He claims that the ProGlas initiative long ago sided with the citizens, who are against lithium mining.
"There are a large number of groups of citizens in Serbia who have their own problems and who, of course, rebel against unresolved problems, and they are from different areas. And, so that it would not all be so partial and fragmented, ProGlas tries to connect all these people, so that they rely on each other, to network", says the actress.
Kusturica is ready to defend Serbia with his life from lithium
When we talk about the tightening of rhetoric against Rip Tint, we cannot ignore the statement of director Emir Kusturica, in which he clearly told everyone how far he is willing to go to prevent lithium mining in Serbia.
In an interview with Sputnik, which has since been removed from YouTube, he repeated that he was ready to lose his life in the fight against those who, as he said, were destroying the environment, i.e. those who wanted to mine cobalt, nickel, i.e. those who wanted to work lithium on the territory of Serbia.
"I haven't changed at all in the meantime, even with the condition that shock corrects a person if the matter develops, I will therefore have to use everything that entails the defense of the territory from those who want to destroy our lives and destroy that of the remaining population that lives here , that is, suffocate," stated Kusturica.
The director then emphasized that, although the consequences will not be seen so soon, we can see that it is a kind of "strangulation of the people".
"We witnessed one, I would say, long-term introduction of agony to the territory of Kosovo, which actually went from "we have policemen - we don't have policemen", "we have permission for a thousand, but we can't", "we have dams, remove the dams", "we have the wall, let's tear down the wall', 'we have our own police, we don't have our own police', 'we want re-elections, we don't want re-elections, we lose the elections'".
