Environmental protests took place across Serbia for the third Saturday in a row on December 11. Hundreds joined road blockades organized by the Environmental Uprising movement in Belgrade, Nis, and other cities. Their demand was for British-Australian company Rio Tinto to be prevented from mining lithium in western Serbia. Following previous protests with larger turnouts, the Serbian government withdrew a bill on the expropriation of private property and amended a bill on referendums. Critics suspected that the legislation would remove checks and balances for environmentally controversial projects.
A group of men threw stones at protesters against new environment-related legislation in the Serbian city of Novi Sad on December 4. Scuffles between the attackers and the protesters followed, and some protesters attacked the local office of the Movement of Socialists, a member of the ruling coalition. Protests and road blockades also took place in the capital, Belgrade, as well as Nis and other cities. Thousands of demonstrators decried new expropriation and referendum bills, which they believe pave the way to the government's plan to launch lithium mining.
