The New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (NKPJ) and the League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia (SKOJ) strongly oppose the construction of a lithium mine in the vicinity of Loznica owned by the British-Australian multinational company "Rio Tinto" because it is completely against the interests of Serbia and its citizens.
The exploitation of domestic mining resources by both βRio Tintoβ or any domestic private mining company is completely unacceptable. NKPJ explicitly opposes the usurpation of Serbia's natural resources by foreign and domestic private companies, which with the help of the bourgeois pro-imperialist authorities, who provide them with extremely low ore rent; extract enormous capital from the country while exploiting domestic labor. Given that the only interest of private multinational companies is profit, it is a reasonable public concern that during the exploitation of lithium ore in the vicinity of Loznica, in order to make as much profit as possible, "Rio Tinto" in order to reduce costs, will neglect the adequate protection of the environment, which would have devastating consequences on the environment and on the health of the citizens of that part of Serbia.
On the other hand, NKPJ strongly condemns the insolent attempts by the bourgeois pro-imperialist opposition to use the justified public revolt against the construction of a βRio Tintoβ owned lithium mine for its reactionary anti-national and anti-worker plans. In this sense, NKPJ does not support the blockades of streets and highways initiated by the bourgeois pro-imperialist opposition which have been going on for two subsequent Saturdays (three at the time of translating). The reasons are following:
-By blocking traffic, the bourgeois pro-imperialist opposition does not make the lives of either VuΔiΔ's bourgeois pro-imperialist authorities or "Rio Tinto" any worse; they only make it worse for the working people of Serbia who have to go to work that day to feed their families.
- By organizing the blockades, the bourgeois pro-imperialist opposition is abusing a just revolt of citizens who justifiably oppose the horrific initiative to open the "Rio Tinto" mine in Serbia. To the opposition, the protest against the construction of that mine is just a front for achieving their own reactionary political agenda.

due to albanian media there were burned down two vehicle registration offices.And there were serbian combat helicopters and combat aircrafts near the kosovo/serbian border.

EDIT: This post was not meant to play the blame game. I just wanted to raise awareness of the different ways in which the media portray the situation, and that we should not take everything for a fact that we hear somewhere. Both communities live in their media bubble, which we can only break open through communication. Neither all Albanians nor all Serbs are evil, we have to overcome these stereotypes, which are imposed on us by media/politics.
I would gladly delete a lot of these off topic posts if I could.
