Minerals in Serbia
Mining in Serbia dated for centuries; it has been started under the rule of Nemanjic kings in 13th century when they invited miners from other countries to establish mines in Serbia.
There are lots of different minerals in Serbia such as Iron, Chrome, Manganese, Molybdenum, Cobalt, Cadmium, Copper, Antimony, Lead, Zinc, coal, crude oil, limestone, quarts and even some Gold and Silver..
However, there is no abundance of any of these minerals although all of them are mined and exploited. The biggest mines in Serbia are: Rudnik, Kopaonik, Bor, Majdanpek, Trepča, Kolubara, and Kostolac. Unfortunately, being a country in transition between socialism and capitalism, Serbia has either solved most of its mines or they operate with losses.
