Serbia Zijin Copper mining operations in Bor

Overview

Executives from Serbia Zijin Copper and Serbia Zijin Mining recently issued greetings to the citizens of Bor to mark the city’s anniversary. The companies highlighted their economic contributions, noting an investment of $4 billion and the creation of over 3,600 new jobs in the Bor and Majdanpeć regions.

However, social development advocates have raised concerns regarding the impact of these mining operations on the nearby village of Krivelj. The CORE Platform for Social Development and Innovation has called on the Serbian government to facilitate a collective relocation of residents, reporting that mining activities are encroaching on residential areas, schools, and cemeteries.

Residents in Krivelj claim that daily blasting causes tremors that damage homes and produces excessive noise and dust. While a spatial plan for the Bor-Majdanpeć mining basin was initiated in 2014, the lack of an adopted plan has left villagers waiting over a decade for a transparent relocation process.
