U samo nekoliko meseci, Sjedinjene Američke Države uvele su opet zabranu uvoza kineskih proizvoda iz Srbije, zbog sumnje da se tokom njihovog nastanka primenjivao prinudni rad. Prvo je u decembru zabrana stavljena na gume iz "Linglonga", a juče je američka carina zabranila i bakar iz firme "Srbija Ziđin". Nevladine organizacije koje se bave zaštitom prava radnika poručuju - ovo je alarm koji Srbija ne sme da ignoriše.

Ne žele Amerikanci bakar dobijen eksploatacijom radnika , i zato ne žele da uvoze robu rob koju kineski "Ziđin" proizvodi u Srbiji.
Američka carina poručuje da tako štite ljudska prava i ekonomsku bezbednost.
"Ovaj nalog je rezultat istrage CBP-a i analize informacija koje ukazuju da 'Serbia Zijin' proizvodi bakar i proizvode od bakra uz korišćenje prinudnog rada. CBP je analizirao sledeće dokaze: izjave radnika, fotografije, beleške sa terenskih fokus grupa, skrinšotove tekstualnih poruka, izveštaje nevladinih organizacija, medijske izveštaje i akademska istraživanja", istakla je izvršna pomoćnica komesara CBP Kancelarije za trgovinu Suzan S. Tomas.
Ukazuju i da postoje indicije da Kinezi zloupotrebljavaju ranjivost, ne isplaćuju plate, zastrašuju i prete, ograničavaju kretanje, zadržavaju lična dokumenta, uz prekomeran, prekovremen rad.
"Ovde, pre svega, moramo da imamo reakciju policije i tužilaštva i inspekcije za rad. Ovo je ozbiljan signal zemljama koje žele da posluju odgovorno, u skladu sa ljudskim pravima, da ovde nešto nije u redu. Srbija mora da preduzme neke mere", navodi Marija Anđelković iz organizacije "Astra".
Baš zbog nepreduzimanja mera, ekonomski novinar Aleksandar Milošević smatra da su srpske vlasti većim delom odgovorne ako se ispostavi da su navodi američke carine tačni.
"Zato što se mi prema stranim investitorima ponašamo kao da nemamo nikakav državni autoritet nad njima i njihovim ponašanjem. Mi smo krivi što mi te uslove nismo otkrili i nismo sankcionisali i nismo se potrudili da oni prestanu da postoje", ukazuje ekonomski novinar Aleksandar Milošević.
Da li je nešto loše otkrio u "Ziđinu" i ako jeste, šta je preduzeo, pitali smo, između ostalog, Zaštnitka građana.
"Zaštitnik građana je 2026. godine primio 69 pritužbi kojima se ukazuje na povredu prava iz radnih odnosa. Od primljenih pritužbi nijedna se ne odnosi na navedenu kompaniju", navodi Zaštitnik građana.
Kao da "Ziđin" kod nas posluje tek od početka godine, Zaštitnik se na period pre 2026. nije osvrnuo.
Obratili smo se i Ministarstvu rudarstva koje kaže da nije nadležno. Ministarstvo rada ne odgovara. Policija i tužilaštvo se ne oglašavaju.

A inače, američka služba za carine i zaštitu granica već je u decembru prošle godine zabranila uvoz guma iz Linglonga. Postoje dokazi da se i na području Zrenjanina primenjivao nehuman odnos prema radnicima.
"Tako da ovo pokazuje da se ne radi o nekom izolovanom incidentu, već o problemima koji zaista zahtevaju sistemski odgovor institucija", ukazuje Anđelković.
Čim su SAD zabranile uvoz guma iz "Linglonga", reagovao je predsednik.
"'Linglong' je treći izvoznik sa teritorije Srbije. Ta priča o prinudnom radu je tako sramotna", kazao je Vučić, na šta je Milomir Marić kazao "to je bilo na N1", a Vučić dodao - "da je to zastrašujuće".
Kako žive radnici zaposleni u srpskoj poslovnici "Ziđina", mogao je Vučić direktno da pita predstavnike tog preduzeća sa kojima se pre nekoliko nedelja sreo u Šangaju.
Po povratku ne reče da li je to i uradio, ali je zato najavio dolazak novih, kineskih firmi.
