Rio Tinto strongly condemns the attack on its Info Center in Loznica, where unknown individuals broke the facility’s windows. The company immediately notified the authorities, who have launched an investigation.
Recently, unknown persons also illegally cut down trees near the village of Slatina, blocking roads and access for locals and company employees. Rio Tinto has informed relevant institutions and the public about these incidents via its official website.
The company emphasizes that such acts of property destruction and obstruction threaten safety and send a negative message to employees, the local community, and potential investors in Serbia. Rio Tinto pledges to use all legal means to protect its employees, partners, and property.
Rio Tinto remains open to dialogue with all parties genuinely interested in understanding the project, its environmental measures, and potential benefits. The company condemns these security incidents in the strongest terms and stresses the importance of fact-based conversations. As a long-standing investor in Serbia with over 20 years of operations in Loznica, Rio Tinto calls for constructive engagement on the project.
