In Gospić, the citizen initiative ‘Gospić je naš dom’ is demanding that the city revoke a building permit for a lithium factory. The group alleges the facility was constructed illegally without a required environmental impact study and claims investors altered documentation to bypass regulations.

While the Ministry reportedly annulled the opinion used as the basis for the permits, the initiative asserts that the investor has continued work and the city refuses to cancel the building permit.
