Europe’s raw materials challenge is widely misunderstood. Public debate tends to orbit around mining projects, geological exploration, and access to resources. Yet the deeper structural gap in Europe’
Chinese energy, mining and high tech industries in Serbia, interest in Serbia moving toward the EU, not away from it
Energy is where the geopolitical lens usually dominates, but the underlying economics are straightforward. Serbia is part of the wider European power and gas system whether anyone likes it or not: it
Frankfurt as a gatekeeper: Why SEE and Serbian mining companies now need European financial visibility
For decades, the global mining world was structured around a familiar gravitational pull. Early capital was raised in Toronto. Explorers shaped narratives on the TSX-V. Retail investors provided liqui
Europe returns to mining through South-East Europe: Why Serbia is becoming strategically unavoidable
For more than three decades, Europe behaved as if mining were something that happened somewhere else. It chose to outsource risk, outsource geology, outsource environmental impact and outsource politi
Europe doesn’t need more raw materials — it needs control of industrial systems, and Serbia is where that control can anchor

South-East Europe as Europe’s heavy-industry shock absorber — with Serbia as its competitive anchor
Europe’s core industrial economies are increasingly constrained. High and volatile energy prices, dense regulatory frameworks, urban saturation, community resistance to new heavy industrial assets and
Rare earths, magnet materials, and Serbia’s strategic role in Europe’s critical materials landscape (2026–2035)
Europe’s industrial transition cannot proceed without rare-earth elements and the magnet materials derived from them. The motors that drive electric vehicles, the turbines that power offshore wind far
