  • The electric car - the expensive must-have of the new green citizen. But is it really?


    To function, an electric vehicle’s battery requires lithium a rare metal found in a quantity unprecedented in Serbia and last week, the EU approved the construction of a major lithium mine there - a slap in the face for protesters who have fought against the project for years.
