A new Balkans in Europe Policy Advisory Group blog by Florian Bieber In the focus🔎EU-Serbia Lithium Deal "There is little reason to believe that #Germany’s and #EU’s endorsement of the #RioTinto mine will help protect environmental or social standards and avoid graft and further empowerment of the ruling party. In fact, #Scholz’s visit and the agreement ignores the protests, the election fraud, and state capture. It effectively buries #EUintegration in the #WesternBalkans, as it shows that the #EU’s economic interests will trump #RuleofLaw and #democracy. #Lithium #mining #RioTinto #Serbia #Germany #EU Read it at👇 shorturl.at/rmKYu

About us
The Balkans in Europe Policy Advisory Group is a group of policy analysts, scholars and researchers, established as a joint initiative of the European Fund for the Balkans and the Centre for Southeast European Studies of the University of Graz. The goal of the Group is to support the integration of the Western Balkans in the European Union, and to contribute to the consolidation of democracy in the region, through the facilitation of evidence-based policy dialogue. To this end, BiEPAG is conceptualized as a platform to bring closer the various political and developmental stakeholders of the individual countries of the Western Balkans – on one side, and the bodies and branches of the European Union and the governments of its constituent countries – on the other. Our experts are Florian Bieber (Coordinator), Marko Kmezić, Corina Stratulat, Alida Vračić, Bojana Baća, Damira Kapidžića, Donika Emini, Srdjan Cvijić, Gjergi Vurmo, Dejan Jović, Vedran Džihić, Tena Prelec, Jovana Marović, Dimitar Bechev, Zoran Nechev, Nicolaos Tzifakis, Marika Djolai, Natasha Wunsch, Srdjan Majstorović, Matteo Bonomi, Milica Delević.
