The relationship between Australia and Serbia has been getting frostier by the day it seems following the deportation of Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic.

Serbian politicians and citizens raged over Australia’s treatment of Djokovic after he landed in Melbourne as protests and furious rhetoric erupted.called it a “political witch hunt by everybody including the Australian Prime Minister pretending that the rules apply to all”.

For weeks, thousands have swarmed key roads across Serbia to protest against the government’s handling of the lithium project. Rio Tinto first discovered lithium reserves in the Loznica region in 2004. The company had intended to invest $2.4 billion in the project.“Rio Tinto is reviewing the legal basis of this decision and the implications for our activities and our people in Serbia,” the company said in a statement.

The hunt for lithium has set off a “white gold rush” across the globe as major corporations, including automakers, scramble to secure sufficient supplies to meet their ambitious goals to transition to greener fuel sources and technology.

Oh Australia had a relationship with Serbia? Ha! But keep milking it - there must be more!

Don't particularly give a rats arse

Our Serbian friends understand, Scomo is our leader, our trusted comrade, nothing will draw us apart from the Great Scomo.....

Interesting, Serbia says no to Rio Tinto mining lithium, an essential commodity for the future. The country they let in will be Russa. Let's see how that works out for you in the future, guys. Russa has a fascinating history in this area.

Load of rubbish. Look at all the people protesting the mine. This got knocked back had little to nothing to do with jokeavic

Good riddance.

Well, it’ll get frostier with France and the US soon then too. Britain? No one knows what Wimbledon’s rules will be.

What? relationship between Australia and Serbia other than taking in war refugees from the 90's

This makes me lol, vaccines don’t work, the govt is getting sued so their internal comms will be subpoenaed and potentially cost an aust mining giant an insane amount of money… and what for? It makes no sense?

Serbia needs to grow up, ask Albanians what they think of Serbia

Yawn. You can keep the covid Djokovic

Just another Morrison chest beating stuff up...it's beginning to not even be news anymore.

Thanks alexhawkemp

Well done ScottMorrisonMP you have cost Australians probably billions with your silly rules with Novak. Hope it was worth the power trip.

How about he own up to his mistakes, error in judgment and move on.

Its Serbia ... who tf cares?

Big deal … even Novak doesn’t live there

Yes the economic powerhouse that is Serbia.

First China , Then France now with Serbia WOW any on the map which country next ?

Looks as though Serbia is going to have to add multiple countries to their Shit List NOT just Australia The Majority of Countries Do NOT allow entry to Unvaccinated Kiss your career Goodbye Djokovic let’s hope the local circuit keeps you busy 😉 Serbia Djokovic Australia

The Rio Tinto saga was already going on before the Jocko saga. There were comments that the Jocko saga was initiated by the Aussie Gov. because of issues with exploration of lithium!

Never heard of serbia

Just think about it. 10-15 years ago, what could one Serbia, 17k miles away ever do to retaliate to any Australian decision? Well today they can, which shows the changing world that Australians are simply oblivious to.

Serbia scraps plans for Rio Tinto lithium mine after protestsPresident Aleksandar Vučić’s government had been accused of ignoring project’s potential for environmental harm Hahaha awesome Stupid self-imposed loss. Apparently Novak will donate his win from suing the Aussie Fed Govt to Serbian Govt. Seems Serbia is just as silly as DjokerNole The most expensive deportation ever! I guess some more environmentally friendly mining company might get a contract there in a few years...my guess is Chinese or Japanese owned.

Serbia revokes Rio Tinto's lithium exploration licences following mass protestsSerbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic says her government has decided to cancel Rio Tinto's lithium exploration licences after requests from various environmental groups to halt the Jadar project. Good news everyone! Amazing how the Serbian government listens to its people about unwanted mining, and yet here even with mass protests the government still pushes through the unwanted (and tagged as unviable by most investors) Adani mine... This is EXCELLENT news, but beware of what may happen after the election. RioTinto cannot be trusted, remember Juukan Gorge. Despicable.

Serbia backs out of controversial Rio Tinto lithium mineSerbia's prime minister abandons plans to build a controversial lithium mine after weeks of protests against the project set to be built by Anglo-Australian firm Rio Tinto. Good, another company or country will snap it up. And Australia deporting Serbia’s sports star had nothing to do with this? Very convenient timing🤔🤔 just saying. Obviously Novax didn’t buy into this venture

Tennis boss booed in first appearance post Djoker deportationAustralian Open boss Craig Tiley has made his first public appearance since Novak Djokovic was deported - the crowd were not very receptive.Taking to the Kia Arena to present Aussie star Sam Stosur with flowers and a gift after the 37-year-old’s singles campaign and career came to an end, Tiley was booed by some of the crowd.Paying tribute to the Australian and presenting her with flowers and a Louis Vuitton branded gift on court, Tiley said: “Thanks for everything. Thanks for being Sam Stosur, and thank you for the difference that you have made to our great game.” Shit form using Sammy Stosur as a shield so as to not absolute cop it from the fans. Loads of ppl who would have been better placed to do presentation to Sam. Yep the Australian public won't miss him, they know exactly who is responsible for the Novak mess!!! Resign Craig Tilley resign!!! 😂😂😂 Stay classy Melbourne
