Ana Brnabic on Rio Tinto: Daughter company was set up in 2001 - so who brought them to Serbia?
Brnabic posed on X that she believes even the opposition "doesn't want this kind of Serbia".
"I ask, which sane and responsible person in this country wants this kind of public discourse, these horrible, dangerous and unfounded accusations, this kind of madness, to become common and acceptable? For somebody, at the public gatherings called for by the opposition during the debate in the National Assembly, to talk about satanists who, I guess, came to Serbia 23 years ago with the intention of destroying this country and people (and that's why the company is called Rio Sava)?," Brnabic wrote.
She was referring to statements made by Cacak Faculty of Agriculture professor Dusko Brkovic and mining engineer Suzana Lazarevic, who criticized lithium mining and the Jadar project.
"Should an agronomist talk about anomalies in newborn children? Should all this be indiscriminately and without judgment carried by 'independent' and 'objective' media, serving as a megaphone and an amplifier of madness? Where is this leading us as a country, who is benefitting from it?," asked Brnabic, and stressed that the opposition "does not want public debates in the Assembly" nor "a commission that would allow them control and supervision."
She said that if "together we allow science, professionals and reason to be discarded, no argument and reason will never again have meaning or space in Serbia."
"You are calling for us to reject science, professionals, reason? Tell the people - both you from the opposition and individually the journalists from these media that carry such things - is what we had the opportunity to hear tonight in Kosjeric and Mladenovac a narrative that you support?", Brnabic asked, referring to protests against Rio Tinto organized in these municipalities last night.
