President Vucic Meets with Scholz: German Chancellor Views the Jadar Project Positively
President Aleksandar Vucic stated that during his meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Freiberg, they discussed not only mining projects but also Kosovo and Metohija, other key issues, and the geopolitical situation.
Vucic emphasized that their conversation covered the strategic relations between Serbia and Germany, as well as future initiatives.
"With reference to the U.S. elections and their implications for Europe, this was a comprehensive discussion. Germany is also dealing with elections in February and is yet to finalize governance in Saxony. We explored ways to secure the best expertise for a potential mining project, ensuring environmental protection and proper land reclamation post-mining," Vucic explained.
He expressed confidence that Serbia and Germany's cooperation will enable the exchange of expertise and training opportunities for young Serbian professionals in mining and geology.
"I believe we accomplished significant progress today, showcasing a closer relationship between Serbia and Germany. I regret that some anti-government media representatives, including United Group, BIRN, KRIK, and opposition MPs, failed to convey the true scope of what they observed here. Germany is opening not one but several lithium mines, not just in Saxony but also in the Rhine region and other areas," Vucic said.
Germany Approves of the Jadar Project
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz confirmed that his government views the Jadar project positively, as well as lithium mining in Germany, provided high environmental standards are met.
At a joint press conference with Vucic, Scholz highlighted the EU's adoption of the Critical Raw Materials Act to secure supply chains.

He emphasized that sustainability is a priority across Europe and that the EU is keen to participate in Serbia's lithium extraction project in the Jadar Valley.
"As the German government, we view this project favorably, just like our own lithium mining initiatives in the Upper Rhine Basin," Scholz stated.
He noted that the growing demand for lithium underscores the importance of developing such projects across Europe.
"This isn't a competition; it's about mutual support, ensuring adherence to high environmental standards. Local acceptance is also critical, as residents often worry about potential environmental impacts. That's why maintaining strict environmental safeguards is essential, and we discussed this in detail during our visit," Scholz explained.
He also pointed out ongoing collaboration between Serbia and Germany on other topics, including the EU accession process for Western Balkan states.
"Attention must be given to numerous issues, and President Vucic is actively working on this process. We will continue to offer support wherever possible, focusing on reforms to strengthen the rule of law, media freedom, and more. Additionally, fostering good neighborly relations in the region, particularly between Serbia and Kosovo, remains crucial. We are working to support both sides in implementing the agreed framework," Scholz concluded.
