[00:00:25] Good day, dear viewers, welcome to
[00:00:27] the news.
[00:00:31] Some of the miners are still in the Raspotočje pit,
[00:00:35] coal mines in the Zedo Canton were given an additional
[00:00:38] 30 days to certify their employee
[00:00:41] health booklets. Miners can start
[00:00:44] treatment with the directors of the mine,
[00:00:48] we agreed on what they can afford to pay
[00:00:51] at the moment, they signed
[00:00:54] agreements.
[00:01:08] me, and this is right at the top of houses and the railway, helicopter engagement of the armed forces of Bosnia and
[00:01:11] Herzegovina is expected.
[00:01:16] The heatwave continues, record low water level
[00:01:19] of the Danube. Energy crisis in Hungary and
[00:01:22] Romania.
[00:01:26] Transparency International noted 1,200 instances
[00:01:30] of potential abuse of public resources for party
[00:01:33] promotion, of which 70% relate
[00:01:37] to the intensification of public works and what you see, i.e. the cutting of
[00:01:41] ribbons and opening ceremonies of public
[00:01:43] works.
[00:01:47] The anniversary of the start of the closure of the Omarska
[00:01:50] camp was marked.
[00:01:56] Some good news for the miners, not enough for the 11
[00:02:00] of them who are still in the Raspotočje pit, it's good
[00:02:03] for everyone in the Zedo Canton, at least they can certify their booklets
[00:02:07] to get treatment.
[00:02:11] After four days of workers' disobedience due to uncertified
[00:02:14] booklets, an agreement was reached between the Health Insurance Institute of the
[00:02:17] Zenica-Doboj Canton and the Management of Three
[00:02:20] Mines. The mines were granted an additional 30-day deadline
[00:02:24] for certifying workers' booklets. This refers to the brown
[00:02:27] coal mines of Zenica, Kakanj and Breza. and they owe the Institute
[00:02:30] a total of 175 million convertible marks
[00:02:34] in health insurance contributions, they need to pay 250,000
[00:02:38] marks by the end of the year, where they expect to
[00:02:42] manage to recover, that they will manage to achieve maximum
[00:02:45] production in the mine, where I have
[00:02:48] their promises that they will start paying the full amount of their
[00:02:52] debts, on the other hand, the Breza mine is in the situation
[00:02:56] it is, there is no production there, they
[00:02:59] are trying to mine their own front
[00:03:02] mm and they have some minimal
[00:03:06] inflows of funds, so they expect in December
[00:03:10] to start production, where we will make a new
[00:03:14] agreement where they will increase their payments. Although the approval
[00:03:17] of an additional deadline avoided a bigger crisis, the unions
[00:03:20] warn that the roots of the problem lie in economic
[00:03:23] disharmony and the selling price of coal which does not follow production
[00:03:26] costs. Our price of
[00:03:30] coal that we mine is
[00:03:32] more expensive than the selling price and those debts naturally
[00:03:36] arise like that, that's the problem, meaning the more
[00:03:39] we mine, the more we go into debt, we do one of
[00:03:43] the most difficult, most honorable and most honest
[00:03:46] jobs, I believe that
[00:03:49] this will never happen again, that we found a
[00:03:52] solution, that we will all fight together
[00:03:55] for all miners in the Zedo Canton to have their
[00:03:59] contributions paid. for both health care and bio-medicine.
[00:04:03] Although the continuation of healthcare for workers
[00:04:06] has been secured for now, the question
[00:04:08] Mrkonja, and you are watching sports news on of the long-term sustainability of the system has been reopened. At the same time,
[00:04:11] macroeconomic analyses show that mining at the federation
[00:04:14] level generates significant revenue growth.
[00:04:17] Mining as a sector achieved
[00:04:20] one billion and 170
[00:04:23] million convertible marks in revenue and
[00:04:27] 88.2 million convertible marks
[00:04:30] in net profit, some companies make a profit, some companies
[00:04:34] incur losses, so it should not surprise you that, for example, the mining
[00:04:38] sector achieved as an aggregated entire
[00:04:41] sector, net profit, especially because you have individual
[00:04:44] companies that achieved significant net, net
[00:04:48] profit, because this also includes
[00:04:51] the exploitation of ores,
[00:04:54] metallic raw materials and so on in various
[00:04:58] sectors. Despite relatively low productivity per
[00:05:01] employee, mining records the fastest growth among the analyzed
[00:05:05] industrial sectors, which indicates that the problems in
[00:05:08] the functioning of individual mines require deeper
[00:05:11] business analysis. Nataša Kerezović,
[00:05:14] N1.
[00:05:17] Several fires broke out in the Konjic area near
[00:05:20] populated areas, Ovčari and Živašnica,
[00:05:24] due to inaccessible terrain, the engagement of
[00:05:27] helicopters of the armed forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina is expected to extinguish
[00:05:30] the fire. The fires broke out in several locations,
[00:05:33] it is presumed that they were caused by the braking of a train
[00:05:36] passing through the railway line through that
[00:05:39] area. The fire threatens to spread towards houses and
[00:05:43] railway infrastructure, due to the inaccessibility of the terrain,
[00:05:46] extinguishing from the air was deemed
[00:05:49] necessary.
[00:05:53] Firefighters in southeastern France are still fighting forest
[00:05:56] fires, a long period of extreme heat, empty
[00:06:00] beds of large rivers, due to the low water level of the Danube,
[00:06:03] nuclear power plants in Hungary, Romania and Slovenia are threatened
[00:06:07] with reactor shutdown. Hungary and Romania are taking measures
[00:06:10] to save electricity.
[00:06:14] Bucharest is plunged into semi-darkness, decorative lighting
[00:06:18] has been switched off, streetlights reduced by a third. In
[00:06:22] Romania, an extraordinary energy situation has been declared until the end of the
[00:06:25] month. It seems that we have reached this point due to bad
[00:06:29] decisions that were made
[00:06:32] regarding the climate crisis that has been going on for
[00:06:35] decades. And Budapest, with its spectacular
[00:06:38] panoramas, has turned off many lights. To the great disappointment
[00:06:42] of tourists.
[00:06:45] I'm very disappointed because I come to Budapest once in my life. And last night I went
[00:06:49] up the hill and waited for the lights to turn on, but nothing
[00:06:52] happened. I was so disappointed. And the approval
[00:06:55] of the local population. Namely, in Paks, Hungary's only
[00:06:59] nuclear power plant, only one reactor is working, because the level
[00:07:02] of the Danube is not enough to cool them all. The nuclear power plant provides about
[00:07:06] 40% of electricity in Hungary. This is a
[00:07:09] minimal, minimal reaction to this whole situation. I fully
[00:07:13] approve and support this. I think it is a
[00:07:16] very good thing in the current situation. It is a very
[00:07:20] responsible decision, for example.
[00:07:23] One reactor is operating in the Romanian nuclear power plant
[00:07:27] Cernavoda. In Romania, rocks that were sticking out of the water were blasted into the air
[00:07:30] to divert the Danube towards the nuclear power plant. They are also sinking
[00:07:34] four loaded barges to increase the water flow towards
[00:07:38] the nuclear power plant?
[00:07:40] Most of Europe, due to these long periods of extreme
[00:07:44] heat, has water levels far, far below
[00:07:47] what is needed for a long period of time, this creates cooling
[00:07:50] problems not only for nuclear power plants but also for gas ones,
[00:07:54] because there is not enough water to cool them down,
[00:07:57] not only is there not enough water, but the water temperature is also higher,
[00:08:01] which means it is harder to cool them down, that is why
[00:08:04] they have to take such extreme
[00:08:07] measures, in addition to the Danube, the water level of the
[00:08:11] Sava is also low, so the Krško nuclear power plant in Slovenia
[00:08:14] will reduce electricity production by 20%. Krško
[00:08:17] provides almost 60% of daily electricity
[00:08:20] consumption in Slovenia. Aleksandra Gotfra,
[00:08:35] steps to resolve the status of dismissed communal
[00:08:39] workers.
[00:08:44] Elections are approaching, the campaign has long since started as usual,
[00:08:48] in a way it shouldn't, that's why Cik punishes PSS,
[00:08:52] SNSD and SDP, Transparency International noticed
[00:08:55] as many as 1200 examples of potential misuse of public
[00:08:59] resources.
[00:09:01] The Central Election Commission fined three political
[00:09:04] parties for premature election campaigning.
[00:09:08] The Secure Serbian Movement with 8,500 marks,
[00:09:11] SNSD 6.
[00:09:13] SDP 4000, but since the general
[00:09:17] elections were called, Transparency International has submitted far
[00:09:20] more complaints to the commission, party gatherings in schools,
[00:09:24] public forums, billboards before the campaign, everything, says
[00:09:28] Srđan Traljić, indicated that the premature campaign had
[00:09:31] started long ago. HDZ in Vitez regularly
[00:09:34] reports, therefore, on every phase of the construction of some local
[00:09:38] road or where the SNSD boasts about paving some
[00:09:41] gravel road. where the SDA
[00:09:44] Bugojno boasts that their minister allocated a million marks
[00:09:48] for local roads, where the president of the NPS,
[00:09:52] who has no public function in that sense, is not
[00:09:55] competent, visits public works, promotes himself,
[00:09:58] attributes credit to himself. According to data from Transparency
[00:10:01] International Bosnia and Herzegovina, approximately 1,200 examples
[00:10:04] of potential misuse of public resources were recorded,
[00:10:08] they state that the value of completed public
[00:10:11] works amounted to 126
[00:10:14] million marks, initiated 453
[00:10:17] million, while for one-time payments from all levels
[00:10:21] of government, 45 million
[00:10:24] marks were allocated. But there are also other activities such as musical
[00:10:28] events, makeup vouchers, free
[00:10:30] examinations. So we had some public
[00:10:33] forums, especially in Travnik where the Party of Democratic Action organized
[00:10:37] over nine public forums, meetings with citizens where they spoke,
[00:10:41] that they called citizens to hear their needs and to
[00:10:45] determine directions of action. Srđan Traljić adds that, unlike
[00:10:49] previous election cycles, reports of aggressive
[00:10:52] premature campaigns did not bear
[00:10:56] fruit, such as this "Be in
[00:10:59] Motion" campaign which was led by PSS in
[00:11:02] Banja Luka, so they were not sanctioned, it was
[00:11:06] their explanation was that they rented these billboards
[00:11:09] until the day the elections were called, however, they remained
[00:11:12] standing during this election
[00:11:15] period, but that very contract
[00:11:19] that it was rented until the day the elections were called was sufficient
[00:11:22] proof for the complaint to be rejected, because of everything mentioned,
[00:11:25] Transparency believes that the Central Election Commission
[00:11:28] obviously raised the threshold of tolerance, because despite
[00:11:32] numerous complaints they sent, the commission did not
[00:11:35] consider many of them to have elements of violating
[00:11:38] the election law. Dragica Pejaković,
[00:11:41] N1.
[00:11:44] Firings at the Komunalno company in Mostar are still in
[00:11:48] the public's focus. The dismissed workers were supposed to have
[00:11:51] individual meetings with the mayor, but most
[00:11:55] did not respond to the invitation, a collective meeting with the company's
[00:11:58] management was held after all, it was agreed that
[00:12:01] the legal representatives of the workers and the company will try to
[00:12:05] agree on a written statement, which should
[00:12:08] facilitate the supervisory board's decision.
[00:12:10] odluke.
[00:12:13] After several days of bickering and exchange of messages via social networks,
[00:12:17] the Mayor of Mostar and the President of the City Council today sat down with the dismissed workers
[00:12:21] and the management of the public company Komunalno, although both sides remain
[00:12:24] convinced that they acted correctly, positions were brought closer
[00:12:27] after the meeting, and everything, they claim, is going in the direction of workers returning to their
[00:12:31] jobs. At this meeting, it was agreed that
[00:12:35] the legal representative
[00:12:37] of the workers, together with the legal representative
[00:12:41] of the company who advises or represents
[00:12:44] the management, will draw up a statement,
[00:12:48] perhaps an explanation in which the workers will
[00:12:52] unequivocally
[00:12:54] state their
[00:12:58] position regarding work duties,
[00:13:01] the ongoing process and what they have done so far,
[00:13:04] to answer all of us whether they
[00:13:08] truly refused a work
[00:13:11] obligation or had some other intention? The mayor,
[00:13:14] on the other hand, claims that the workers were under a certain pressure all the time, first when
[00:13:18] they refused work assignments, and now, he says, even when they need to present their
[00:13:22] view of the disputed case. It saddens me that
[00:13:26] most of them, not all, but most of them refused a one-on-one
[00:13:30] meeting, mm, as I see from this
[00:13:33] collective meeting, it was some kind of joint stance
[00:13:36] of someone who suggested to them that they don't
[00:13:39] need to talk to the mayor
[00:13:42] alone, but that it should be in some group so that
[00:13:45] they might be stronger or whatever they are trying, I don't know, but anyway,
[00:13:49] I still agreed to this collective meeting again,
[00:13:53] wanting to show that it is very important to me... that we
[00:13:56] return the city to some kind of normal functioning, the most important
[00:14:00] conclusion of the meeting is the joint readiness to enable workers to
[00:14:04] return to work. I appeal again for politics to stay away
[00:14:07] from the communal company, then I am sure we will succeed, if
[00:14:11] some things happen again, prompting from the side,
[00:14:15] do it this way, do it that way, I am afraid we will get stuck again and just go in circles.
[00:14:19] The union says that such a meeting should have been held much earlier
[00:14:22] and that it was precisely the lack of timely communication. with the company's management
[00:14:26] that is one of the key problems, one positive thing, a positive
[00:14:30] thing, some positions have been agreed upon,
[00:14:33] the mayor and the president of the city council had the opportunity to hear
[00:14:37] both the workers and their positions and
[00:14:40] their problems they are facing, this
[00:14:44] is a difficult period for them too, difficult for those who are
[00:14:47] jobless, difficult for all workers of the public company Komunalno who
[00:14:51] are currently working, according to the mayor, the solution will be sought...
[00:14:55] Legal representatives will give their judgment on the entire case to the supervisory board
[00:14:58] of the company. Workers remain optimistic and hope that the process will end
[00:15:02] with their return to work. Đenana Kaminić Puca, N1,
[00:15:06] Mostar.
[00:15:09] On the site of the former Omarska camp, the 34th
[00:15:13] anniversary of the beginning of the disbandment of one of
[00:15:17] the most notorious camps in northwestern Bosnia and
[00:15:19] Herzegovina was marked today. The commemoration gathered former detainees,
[00:15:23] victims' families, representatives of associations and all citizens who
[00:15:27] wanted to pay tribute to the innocent victims, according to the data of the
[00:15:30] Association of Detainees, more than 3,300 Bosniak
[00:15:33] and Croat detainees passed through this camp, of whom, according to the data,
[00:15:37] 700 were killed. Some of the detainees were
[00:15:41] killed at Korićanske Stijene on Hrastova Glavica, large
[00:15:45] execution sites in western Bosnia and Herzegovina, dozens
[00:15:48] of detainees succumbed to wounds sustained during
[00:15:51] torture.
[00:15:55] I carry that trauma with me and I want to
[00:15:59] carry it. When I started to be in Holland, when I
[00:16:02] started forgetting some things, I went to a therapist to teach me
[00:16:06] how to deal with it now. Not to forget, not to heal me, but he cannot
[00:16:10] heal me, I said, help me not to forget it.
[00:16:14] The biggest, other trauma from the camp for me is
[00:16:17] that I was in the camp, it was such a defensive
[00:16:20] system of ours, automatism, and
[00:16:24] I could remember the face of every
[00:16:27] child in the family, every one of the neighbors,
[00:16:31] the only face of his own daughter he could not, I become
[00:16:34] emotional, emotional when I talk about it, our dissatisfaction
[00:16:38] is reflected in the fact that the direct perpetrators of these
[00:16:41] crimes have not yet been prosecuted, I mean the former members of the crisis staff
[00:16:45] of the Serbian municipality of Prijedor, the then Serbian municipality of Prijedor who are, even
[00:16:49] today, alive and living in Prijedor as free, respected citizens who have
[00:16:53] benefits based on what they did in that period, while their victims, today
[00:16:56] are fighting to mark this place and build a monument to
[00:16:59] the murdered children for some status right to get here, we
[00:17:03] unfortunately still cannot get that, we
[00:17:07] year on August 6th at this place which we do not
[00:17:10] consider just a camp, but a place that symbolizes to
[00:17:14] humanity a place where human suffering
[00:17:17] touched the extreme limits of endurance for every
[00:17:21] individual story of those who passed through this camp,
[00:17:24] unfortunately many of them did not, it is a place where we must come, we must
[00:17:28] remind, not just because of the past, to reflect on the past itself,
[00:17:32] but it is also a warning for
[00:17:33] the future.
[00:17:36] It's an obligation, but also a great, human satisfaction
[00:17:39] to be here and talk to people who went through the worst sufferings,
[00:17:43] they are strong enough and brave enough to help
[00:17:46] detect perpetrators and masterminds with their
[00:17:50] stories, but also with messages that are important for
[00:17:53] the future, not just of Bosnia and Herzegovina, today when we see images from
[00:17:56] Gaza, when we see images from Sudan, from Ukraine, other places,
[00:17:59] it is very important to remember what happened in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[00:18:02] desilo.
[00:18:05] The Communications Regulatory Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:18:08] officially informed five associations of genocide victims that
[00:18:12] it has initiated a procedure to verify and investigate the allegations from their
[00:18:16] joint complaint against RTRS. The complaint was
[00:18:19] filed due to a controversial segment broadcast in the central
[00:18:23] news program Dnevnik 2 on July 31st.
[00:18:26] The associations state that the segment contained grave
[00:18:30] insults and libelous claims against surviving
[00:18:33] victims and mothers of Srebrenica with shameful insinuations about
[00:18:36] financial malversations and alleged enrichment
[00:18:39] at the expense of tragedy through fabricated statements.
[00:18:43] IRAK in their official response confirmed that they will
[00:18:46] ex officio investigate all allegations from the received
[00:18:50] complaint.
[00:18:55] The Minister of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina Zukan Helez, NATO
[00:18:59] Headquarters Sarajevo Brigadier General James Fowler visited
[00:19:02] defense industry companies in our country, they visited
[00:19:06] Binas in Bugojno. in Novi Travnik and Pretisa in
[00:19:09] Vogošća. General Fowler said that he saw firsthand
[00:19:12] the capabilities and capacities of the industry and that
[00:19:16] production is carried out according to Western and NATO
[00:19:18] standards. He was most impressed, he says, by the people
[00:19:22] who work in these companies. The mission of NATO Headquarters in Sarajevo and
[00:19:26] EUFOR oversees production in the defense industry of Bosnia and
[00:19:29] Herzegovina.
[00:19:37] understand uh that the capability and
[00:19:40] the uh capacity uh which is in the defense
[00:19:44] industry and boss government. it's uh good to see that
[00:19:47] um the products being made are uh two western and
[00:19:51] NATO standards and uh they they are
[00:19:55] um targeted on um on
[00:19:58] uh capabilities such as the 155 that are important
[00:20:02] right now. What fascinates
[00:20:05] me is the constant
[00:20:07] increase in the number of employees, the constant increase
[00:20:10] in productivity and revenue,
[00:20:13] specifically, compared to last year, these two months,
[00:20:17] June and July, have 2 million more
[00:20:21] in revenue compared to the same period last year, also
[00:20:24] we have seen
[00:20:28] different production ranges of the company
[00:20:31] BNT in Novi Travnik, they also
[00:20:34] raised the level of revenue by
[00:20:37] 10%.
[00:20:40] The Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina has officially applied for
[00:20:43] accession to the Single Euro Payments Area, which is one of the most significant
[00:20:47] steps in the process. Integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina into the European payment
[00:20:51] area. The European Payment Council and other European bodies
[00:20:54] are now beginning to review the submitted documentation.
[00:20:58] This process includes a detailed analysis, possibly requesting additional
[00:21:01] clarifications or amendments, and making a final decision on
[00:21:05] the admission of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the SEPA area.
[00:21:20] killed in an explosion and fighting in southern
[00:21:22] Lebanon.
[00:21:27] Iran and Oman are in the final phase of defining the framework for
[00:21:30] navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. From Tehran,
[00:21:33] they emphasize that the achieved agreement does not mean automatic opening
[00:21:37] of this strategic passage, and that this directly depends on the cessation
[00:21:41] of American threats and sanctions. At the same time, US President Trump
[00:21:44] stated that negotiations are progressing and that the Strait could soon be
[00:21:48] opened, adding that he prefers an agreement, but that the use of military
[00:21:52] force is still an option. Scientists warn that
[00:21:55] the months-long blockade of more than 1,500 ships in the Persian
[00:21:59] Gulf represents an ecological catastrophe, a risk of the spread
[00:22:03] of invasive marine species after the resumption of traffic.
[00:22:20] "we had we were, we were set for the biggest
[00:22:22] attack of any attack, and we've hit them very
[00:22:26] hard for the last few months, but we were, we
[00:22:29] were all set for the biggest attack since World War II, and they
[00:22:33] called me and they said, please don't do it, let's talk, and then they
[00:22:37] don't, they say, we never said that." You know what,
[00:22:40] the fake news knows they did say that, but we are talking, let's see what
[00:22:43] happens, but they respect us, they respect
[00:22:47] us.
[00:22:50] Two Israeli reservists were killed and four were seriously
[00:22:53] wounded in an explosion in southern Lebanon in the town of Majdal. These
[00:22:57] are the first Israeli losses since the ceasefire with Hezbollah came into effect in
[00:23:01] June. In response to what they claim was a violation of the ceasefire, Israeli
[00:23:05] forces carried out a series of airstrikes on towns in southern
[00:23:08] Lebanon. According to the Lebanese
[00:23:11] was killed and more than 12 were wounded. A new
[00:23:15] wave of violence interrupted negotiations between Israel and Lebanon in Rome, which are
[00:23:18] being mediated by the US. However, American officials point
[00:23:22] out that discussions on political and military issues were productive
[00:23:26] and that negotiations
[00:23:27] are continuing.
[00:23:31] Progressive politician Abdul El Sayed won the Democratic
[00:23:35] primary for the US Senate in Michigan, defeating
[00:23:39] moderate Congresswoman Haley Stevens. If he defeats
[00:23:42] Republican Mike Rogers in the general election in November,
[00:23:45] this doctor of Egyptian origin will become the first Muslim
[00:23:49] in the US Senate. El Said based his campaign on
[00:23:52] universal healthcare and a halt to military aid to Israel,
[00:23:56] with the support of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
[00:23:59] His victory was sharply criticized by US President
[00:24:02] Trump, who called it great news for the Republican Party
[00:24:06] and criticized the Democratic
[00:24:08] Party's policies.
[00:24:12] Hiroshima marked the 81st anniversary of the US
[00:24:15] atomic bombing. Mayor Kazumi Matsui called
[00:24:19] on the world to stop wars and abandon
[00:24:22] nuclear weapons. Approximately 50,000 visitors
[00:24:25] paid tribute to the victims with a minute of silence at 8:15 AM, exactly
[00:24:29] at the time when the bomb fell in
[00:24:32] 1945. The attack on Hiroshima claimed 140,000
[00:24:35] lives, while in Nagasaki three days later,
[00:24:38] another 70,000 people died. Today, there are only
[00:24:42] about 90,000 survivors with an average
[00:24:45] age of over 86
[00:24:47] years.
[00:24:55] The words and actions of political leaders represent
[00:24:58] a disregard for obligations defined by the Non-Proliferation
[00:25:01] Treaty, thereby undermining the very foundations of international peace and
[00:25:05] stability. If this continues, a spiral of distrust
[00:25:08] will spread across the world with the risk of returning to the era of World War
[00:25:12] II when pure greed was allowed
[00:25:15] to prevail.
[00:25:19] Hiroshima. The devastation caused by the atomic
[00:25:22] bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the indescribable
[00:25:25] suffering endured by so many people must never
[00:25:29] be repeated. Japan firmly adheres to the three non-nuclear
[00:25:32] principles as the only nation that has suffered atomic
[00:25:35] bombings in war bears the responsibility to tirelessly strive
[00:25:39] for a world without nuclear weapons. Therefore,
[00:25:42] we cannot allow our efforts to stop. We are determined
[00:25:46] to continue implementing realistic and practical initiatives. within
[00:25:50] the framework of the Hiroshima action plan, with a commitment to
[00:25:53] maintaining and strengthening the Non-Proliferation
[00:25:56] Treaty, so that Japan can lead the efforts
[00:26:00] of the international community towards achieving awareness. without nuclear
[00:26:03] weapons. Here in Hiroshima, I deeply feel the responsibility to
[00:26:07] leave future generations a society where all people can
[00:26:10] live in security and peace, and I also pledge to do
[00:26:14] everything in my power to achieve a world without
[00:26:17] nuclear weapons and lasting
[00:26:19] peace.
[00:26:22] In gratitude for many years of engagement
[00:26:25] and exceptional contribution to strengthening friendly ties between Sarajevo and
[00:26:29] Dayton. The City Council of Sarajevo awarded recognition.
[00:26:32] Honorary citizen of the city of Sarajevo, American
[00:26:35] local official Matt Joseph. The cooperation between Dayton
[00:26:38] and Sarajevo over the past years has encompassed a wide range
[00:26:42] of joint activities, the focus was prominently
[00:26:45] on practical matters. The Mayor of Sarajevo, Samir Ravdić, said that
[00:26:49] during his mandate, Matt participated primarily in
[00:26:52] student exchange initiatives, cooperation in the field of
[00:26:55] culture and other
[00:26:56] areas.
[00:27:02] Maybe on one hand, over the last 25 years, the honors
[00:27:06] that have meant really something to
[00:27:10] the list. Uh, I think because
[00:27:13] uh, in my heart of hearts, along with making
[00:27:17] sure that I take care of my residence in Dayton, make
[00:27:20] sure that the the trash is picked up, to make sure that the pot holes are
[00:27:24] filled, that I also, in my heart of
[00:27:28] hearts, I want to make sure that there's a strong relationship with
[00:27:30] Sarajevo, and...
[00:27:44] This is a man who since 2003, actively
[00:27:48] participates in the work of the City Council of Dayton,
[00:27:51] but with a special emphasis in
[00:27:55] his sixth term, I can say, he never
[00:27:59] missed an opportunity to do good things for
[00:28:03] Sarajevo, to maintain contacts for Sarajevo, regardless
[00:28:06] of which administration
[00:28:09] was mayor,
[00:28:13] so once again, I truly thank him from the bottom of my
[00:28:15] heart.
[00:28:19] Sarajevo Film Festival and the Municipality of Novi Grad Sarajevo this year
[00:28:22] continue their long-standing cooperation in realizing part
[00:28:26] of the SFF's program activities. One of the
[00:28:28] festival locations in Novi Grad will be the Safed Zajko center, and the other
[00:28:32] will be an open-air space next to the pool in Dobrinja.
[00:28:36] The location for screenings from the festival's healing program will be
[00:28:39] Kino Novi Grad, which is also the planned alternative indoor
[00:28:43] space for other screenings in case
[00:28:45] of rain.
[00:28:47] Kino Novi Grad itself is focused on a younger audience,
[00:28:51] on a teenage audience, so the timings, matinees
[00:28:55] and similar things are adjusted accordingly, while
[00:28:59] at these two open locations, in principle, it's a mix
[00:29:02] of various festival programs: open
[00:29:06] air, open air premieres, and the
[00:29:10] summer screen program. So, let's say,
[00:29:13] the best of international, European
[00:29:16] films, the best of regional, open to
[00:29:19] a wider audience,
[00:29:22] and of course, children's films
[00:29:26] in Kino Novi Grad.
[00:29:29] Our experience so far has shown that this location in the center, in front of Zajko,
[00:29:33] was a complete success among the residents of Novi Grad, that it
[00:29:36] provides a special atmosphere for watching
[00:29:39] films in a natural setting. The space itself is already
[00:29:43] arranged and controlled, so
[00:29:46] this year too, our citizens will be able to enjoy the best film
[00:29:50] achievements and everything that the Sarajevo Film Festival has prepared for
