Gospić lithium factory permit dispute
Overview
A dispute has emerged regarding a lithium processing plant near Gospić, Croatia, involving questions over the legality of its construction permits. The conflict involves local political tensions between Mayor Darko Milinović and the civic initiative “Gospić je naš dom”, who have raised concerns about potential illegal construction, such as an unpermitted liquefied gas tank.
The Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction and State Assets is investigating whether the permit was issued without a required environmental impact study. While the facility is built and employs approximately 20 people, production has not yet commenced because the plant lacks a usage permit.
Investor Aleksandar Devčić maintains that he acted legally and received the permit in late 2024, suggesting the current scrutiny may be a political process. He stated that he is prepared to comply with further requirements to ensure legal operation.
