The move also comes as relations between Belgrade and Canberra have soured after the high-profile deportation of tennis star Novak Djokovic from Australia on Sunday.
“We have fulfilled all the demands from the environmental protests and have put an end to Rio Tinto in the Republic of Serbia,” said premier Ana Brnabić during a televised address.
“Everything about the Jadar project is finished,” she added, referring to the mine that was to be built in western Serbia.
