Structured register of government actions in the geoeconomic space — export controls, tariffs, sanctions, FDI screening, subsidies, industrial-policy laws — cross-referenced into the country, minerals, and ETF surface. Charter: docs/IPTM_CHARTER.md.
Severity 1-5 is the qualitative impact rating (1=minor, 5=structural). The bilateral-trade-grounded quant scorer is the next IPTM milestone. RBI (Register Breadth Index) is a complementary structural-breadth indicator from scripts/py/iptm/breadth.py; divergence between RBI and severity is itself informative (high-sev / low-RBI = strategic chokepoint; low-sev / high-RBI = broad but shallow). Every action has at least one primary source URL. Verify-or-don't-file. See also themes, timeline, graph, sankey, map, country exposure, sector exposure, material exposure (+ graph), weekly briefs, portfolio scan, escalation monitor, trans-shipment hubs. Internal triage tools (RSS-poller candidate feed, source-feed health) live under /admin/candidates + /admin/sources. Subscribe via Atom feed (accepts ?country=CN, ?material=lithium, ?issuer=BIS, ?type=export_control, ?etf=SOXX, ?company=NVDA, ?minSeverity=4, ?year=2026, ?q=…) or pull /api/iptm/actions.
The Government of Serbia adopted on 16 July 2024 a Decree reinstating the Spatial Plan of the Special Purpose Area (SPSPA) for the exploitation and processing of jadarite mineral — the legal instrument underpinning Rio Tinto's Jadar project in the Mačva District (Loznica municipality). The reinstatement followed the Constitutional Court of Serbia's ruling of 11 July 2024, which declared unconstitutional the Government's January 2022 decree that had revoked the original 2020 SPSPA (Sl. glasnik RS 26/2020) under political pressure. The Jadar deposit is the world's largest known jadarite (Li-borosilicate) resource (~158 Mt at 1.8% Li₂O, 13% B₂O₃), projected to supply ~17% of forecast 2030 European LCE demand, and was subsequently designated an EU CRMA Strategic Project.
The Government of Serbia adopted, on 20 January 2022, the "Uredba o prestanku važenja Uredbe o utvrđivanju Prostornog plana područja posebne namene za realizaciju projekta eksploatacije i prerade minerala jadarita 'Jadar'" — a decree terminating the 2020 Spatial Plan of the Special Purpose Area (SPSPA, Sl. glasnik RS 26/2020) that had underpinned Rio Tinto's Jadar lithium-borate project in the Mačva District. Published in Sl. glasnik RS br. 8/2022. Five days later, on 25 January 2022, the Ministry of Environmental Protection separately annulled its decision approving the project's environmental impact assessment study. Together the two acts cancelled all administrative permits, decisions and resolutions tied to the Jadar project, following weeks of nationwide protests against the mine.
