Serbia's Constitutional Court reverses 2022 decision to revoke Rio Tinto's Jadar lithium project permit.

Serbia's Constitutional Court has overturned the government's 2022 decision to revoke mining giant Rio Tinto's initial planning permission for the Jadar lithium project.

The court ruled that the government's 2022 action was "not in line with the constitution and the law," allowing the lithium mining project to proceed.
