[00:00:19] Good afternoon, dear viewers,
[00:00:21] the events of the day.
[00:00:25] The large fire in the Konjic area is still not
[00:00:28] under control.
[00:00:32] The Main Board of the New Ironworks Zenica Union
[00:00:35] questioning due to demands from the company's management severance pay for all workers by
[00:00:38] August 10th.
[00:00:40] New hearings for employees of the
[00:00:44] Srebrenica Memorial Center, the center offers legal assistance for
[00:00:47] current and former employees.
[00:00:50] The large fire in the Konjic area
[00:00:55] is still not under control. The most difficult situation is in the
[00:00:58] areas of the settlements Kanjina and Živašnica, where the fire
[00:01:02] threatens residential buildings. Firefighters and residents fought the
[00:01:05] fires during the night, but inaccessible terrain and demanding
[00:01:09] conditions further complicate the fight against the fire. In some
[00:01:13] places, the fire approached houses within a hundred meters.
[00:01:17] In extinguishing the fire yesterday,
[00:01:20] air tractors and a helicopter of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and
[00:01:23] Herzegovina were involved, providing air support to the
[00:01:26] firefighters.
[00:01:28] Unfortunately, the fires are active this morning. The big problem
[00:01:32] is that the fire is in an inaccessible area
[00:01:35] and that it is very, very difficult to extinguish from
[00:01:38] the ground. From early morning, we had help in the form of two
[00:01:42] helicopters, one helicopter of the Armed Forces, and one helicopter from
[00:01:46] the Zenica-Doboj Canton, which operated
[00:01:50] on the fire site. Firefighters, of course, our
[00:01:54] local forces, we have engaged
[00:01:56] all of them. The focus of all these activities was concentrated around the main road
[00:02:00] and main roads of populated
[00:02:03] areas. So, yesterday, all
[00:02:07] day and night, and since this morning, we have been actively working on
[00:02:10] extinguishing the fire and we have included all the resources
[00:02:14] we have. The areas of Živašnica and
[00:02:17] Kanjina are the most endangered,
[00:02:21] meaning we have buildings, houses, property,
[00:02:24] but our firefighters, our
[00:02:28] resources will certainly not be a problem
[00:02:30] for the buildings, because for us it is never a problem to extinguish a fire where we can reach
[00:02:34] with vehicles and water.
[00:02:36] The problem is always where we cannot reach with equipment, and then
[00:02:40] the fire can develop in various directions and
[00:02:44] become a huge fire, as it is now, because the fire has
[00:02:47] gone into the rocks above the railway line, it is
[00:02:51] impossible to extinguish from the ground,
[00:02:54] only by air tractors and
[00:02:57] Canadairs.
[00:03:00] The Main Board of the New Ironworks Zenica Union demands from the company's management
[00:03:03] severance pay for all workers by August 10th, and
[00:03:06] if that does not happen, they announce protests on August
[00:03:09] 11th in front of the administrative building and a shutdown in
[00:03:13] the facilities. We have a noose around
[00:03:17] our necks, and bankruptcy,
[00:03:19] and simply let's try to
[00:03:23] solve one problem before it comes, but
[00:03:26] I say we still don't know, we're not... "We are not in
[00:03:30] the head of the judge, so we'll see if it comes to
[00:03:34] that, but let's try to be
[00:03:37] a step forward.
[00:03:38] What we have currently on the scene
[00:03:41] is a different
[00:03:44] way of fighting against what the union advocates for,
[00:03:47] that is, for the continuation of production, the preservation of jobs,
[00:03:51] that is, that this entire situation
[00:03:54] wants to be shifted, i.e.,
[00:03:57] the responsibility for the entire situation to..." to
[00:04:00] the union, which is, to say
[00:04:04] the least, incorrect, and we are all
[00:04:07] aware that the responsibility of the management is huge, and my colleague
[00:04:10] mentioned, and you followed this over the past
[00:04:14] months, what was promised, in what proportion
[00:04:16] what renaissance regarding the new Zenica Ironworks,
[00:04:20] we are in a situation where we are considering
[00:04:24] bankruptcy, i.e., the termination of contracts for
[00:04:28] all workers.
[00:04:31] "Ultimately, as a result of all that, we have this situation we have
[00:04:35] today. Next week, a decision should be made
[00:04:38] on the proposal for the bankruptcy of the new Zenica Ironworks
[00:04:42] which was submitted by the management of the New Zenica Ironworks
[00:04:45] back on December 17,
[00:04:48] 2025. Their intention was for that bankruptcy to start
[00:04:52] already in the new year. Thank God,
[00:04:56] thanks to the activities of the union and drawing attention to the importance of the ironworks.
[00:05:00] Zenica, here we are still alive today, and people are
[00:05:04] employed, they received seven salaries in the past period, they received holiday bonuses,
[00:05:07] financial aid under the collective agreement, all
[00:05:09] rights. If... if the court makes
[00:05:13] a decision to open bankruptcy proceedings, that will result in
[00:05:17] the termination of all employment contracts,
[00:05:20] meaning for all 1480 workers who are currently
[00:05:24] employed.
[00:05:26] odnosu.
[00:05:28] The Srebrenica Memorial Center announced that the interrogations of employees and
[00:05:31] associates of the memorial center have continued, both current and
[00:05:35] former. The center's management called on all affected
[00:05:38] to contact them urgently to organize legal
[00:05:41] protection. So far, 28 associates
[00:05:44] of the memorial center have received a summons for
[00:05:47] an investigation into alleged tax evasion.
[00:05:51] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and
[00:05:54] Herzegovina organized a conference in Sarajevo on the position of
[00:05:58] constituent peoples and others in institutions in Bosnia and
[00:06:01] Herzegovina. The goal is to open an interdisciplinary
[00:06:04] expert dialogue on the challenges in applying the constitutional principle
[00:06:07] of the constituent nature of peoples and the equality of others in the
[00:06:10] state institutional system. The trigger for returning
[00:06:14] to the real situation and defining it was the previously adopted resolution of Croatia
[00:06:18] on Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[00:06:20] The resolution was the trigger to return
[00:06:25] to the framework of argumentation, to return to the real situation, to
[00:06:29] numbers, defining
[00:06:31] first and foremost the terms that some misuse in Bosnia and
[00:06:34] Herzegovina, what is constituent, what is legitimate
[00:06:38] representation, what do the laws of Bosnia and Herzegovina say.
[00:06:40] I am really happy that we have a serious
[00:06:44] response today at this conference, and I am a little disappointed that from
[00:06:47] Croatia, where this resolution was adopted,
[00:06:50] today we have Dalija Orešković as a panelist in
[00:06:53] this second part, and the head of the SDP club and the head of the HDZ club
[00:06:57] did not respond
[00:06:58] to our invitation.
[00:07:02] When we discussed this in the Croatian Parliament and
[00:07:05] passed the resolution, I believed that
[00:07:09] such a form, such a way of sending political
[00:07:13] messages from one parliament to the electoral
[00:07:16] system of another country is not appropriate,
[00:07:19] so the resolution itself
[00:07:22] has some parts that are more
[00:07:26] related to political issues and associations with the
[00:07:30] war period, not so much to the electoral
[00:07:33] engineering itself, which is also very
[00:07:37] indicative and sends bad, bad messages and a bad
[00:07:40] image.
[00:07:49] US President Donald Trump publicly admitted that the supplies of certain
[00:07:53] types of ammunition and missiles in the United States
[00:07:57] have decreased, but claims that the military is still extremely strong.
[00:08:01] According to reports, during the war with Iran, the military spent
[00:08:04] almost four-fifths of its supplies of Fad missiles and
[00:08:07] half of its Patriot interceptors. Trump strongly
[00:08:10] condemned the leaking of this information to the media, calling it
[00:08:14] a threat to national security. Due to reduced
[00:08:17] supplies and concerns of allies in the Gulf, the US
[00:08:20] president ordered the Justice Department to investigate, while demanding
[00:08:24] an urgent increase in production from the defense industry.
[00:08:42] of munitions, which are very, they may not be as
[00:08:45] accurate, they may not be, they're not as elite, we have
[00:08:49] elite to, but we're we're watching that very closely,
[00:08:53] but we have certain types which are very
[00:08:56] powerful and very good, and we
[00:08:59] have an unlimited supply, and so we're in great
[00:09:03] shape, but with that being said, we
[00:09:07] always want more, we have to have more, we have other things maybe come up, you
[00:09:11] maybe come up and maybe don't come up.
[00:09:21] Donald Trump's peace committee issued the first contract for the reconstruction
[00:09:24] of Gaza, which envisages the construction of a small military base for
[00:09:27] 1,500 Moroccan soldiers as part of the international stabilization force.
[00:09:31] The project was awarded to the American company
[00:09:35] Arkel International, it will be built in the area under the control
[00:09:38] of the Israeli army, although a complete reconstruction of the
[00:09:41] New Gaza project was announced earlier, the plan has been reduced to a miniature
[00:09:45] pilot project. Meanwhile, most of the two million residents
[00:09:49] of Gaza still live in difficult conditions in camps, without
[00:09:52] access to drinking water, while Amnesty International warns of
[00:09:56] thousands of bodies trapped
[00:09:57] under the rubble.
[00:10:01] Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan are signing a key trilateral
[00:10:05] defense agreement today in Jeddah. In addition to closer military
[00:10:08] coordination, the agreement includes intelligence sharing,
[00:10:12] joint military exercises, and cooperation in the defense
[00:10:15] industry. The pact connects Saudi Arabia's economic power,
[00:10:19] Turkey's military technology as a NATO member, and Pakistan's nuclear
[00:10:23] potential. The agreement comes as a direct response to the escalation
[00:10:27] of the conflict between the US and Iran and aims to protect
[00:10:30] maritime routes in the Red Sea and the Strait of
[00:10:33] Hormuz.
[00:10:38] The rating of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has fallen below
[00:10:41] the rating of leading military generals. According to a new
[00:10:44] survey by the Sozis agency, Zelensky has fallen to sixth place in
[00:10:47] popularity in the country, with only 18% of citizens giving him
[00:10:51] full support. The drop in popularity followed
[00:10:55] protests caused by the dismissal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. In first
[00:10:59] place for citizen trust is former Chief of the Armed Forces
[00:11:02] Valeriy Zaluzhny. Ahead of Zelensky are Chief of the General
[00:11:06] Staff Mykhailo Drapatyi and Chief of Staff Kyrylo
[00:11:09] Budanov.
[00:11:14] The number of confirmed Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo has for the first time
[00:11:18] exceeded 4,000, while 1,850 patients
[00:11:21] have died. This is the second largest Ebola epidemic in history.
[00:11:25] The fastest spreading so far. Experts warn that the virus
[00:11:28] began circulating months before the official declaration of the epidemic
[00:11:32] on May 15, so it is feared that the actual number of infected is significantly
[00:11:35] higher. Cases have been confirmed in five provinces. Suppressing
[00:11:39] the disease is hampered by conflicts on the ground, an overburdened
[00:11:42] healthcare system, and a lack of
[00:11:44] vaccines.
[00:11:48] Hundreds of thousands of people in southwestern Japan are evacuating due to
[00:11:52] Typhoon Dolphin. More than 500 flights have been canceled.
[00:11:55] Operations at some factories have been suspended. The typhoon brings
[00:11:58] winds of up to 144 km/h, and collisions of up to
[00:12:02] 200 km/h. An evacuation order has been issued for
[00:12:06] almost 260,000 residents of Kagoshima and
[00:12:09] Okinawa prefectures due to the risk of floods. The island of
[00:12:13] Kyushu, which is recovering from an earthquake of magnitude
[00:12:15] 7.1, is in the path. Thousands of people are in evacuation
[00:12:19] centers, and a heatwave
[00:12:20] is also threatening.
[00:12:24] Extreme heatwaves and droughts have hit Central and Eastern
[00:12:27] Europe. Slovakia records a record 42 degrees. In
[00:12:31] Poland, due to the low water level of the Vistula, two thermal
[00:12:34] power plants have been shut down, while in Germany almost 12,000 people have died
[00:12:38] from the heat. The Pax nuclear power plant in Hungary is back in operation, but
[00:12:41] electricity saving is still being sought. Due to drought, extreme heat, and
[00:12:45] war conflicts, global food prices have reached a three-year
[00:12:48] record. Wheat, sugar, and vegetable oils have become the most expensive.
[00:12:52] Bojan Lipovšćak at the end brings the weather forecast.
[00:12:56] Good day. What weather
[00:12:58] can we expect today until the end of the day? The cold front
[00:13:02] is located
[00:13:05] north of the Alps, a small part of it has passed over
[00:13:09] the Alpine barrier, bypassed it, and a smaller amount of
[00:13:13] unstable air has penetrated over the northern
[00:13:16] Adriatic, over the northwestern parts
[00:13:19] of the interior
[00:13:22] of the Balkans. That cold front
[00:13:25] will pass very quickly north of the Alps, it will not bring
[00:13:29] a significant change in weather here. For now, sunny and
[00:13:32] stable weather will prevail. Namely, behind the cold
[00:13:36] front, the ridge of the anticyclone strengthens and
[00:13:39] the weather stabilizes again, so this
[00:13:42] is a short-lived small bite,
[00:13:45] a small bite of winter that only interrupted
[00:13:49] the heatwave in places. Today we will have
[00:13:52] mostly sunny weather with moderate to strong development
[00:13:56] of daytime clouds, so only local showers and
[00:14:00] thunderstorms are possible in some places. The highest
[00:14:04] daily temperatures will be high,
[00:14:08] hot, above 30°C in
[00:14:11] Herzegovina, up to 38°C.
[00:14:14] The sea is very warm,
[00:14:18] 28°C, so it
[00:14:22] is very pleasant for swimming, and the ultraviolet
[00:14:25] index is also high and very high. On the Adriatic, a southwesterly wind
[00:14:29] will blow, while on the northern part of the Adriatic, a bora
[00:14:32] wind will blow. You can follow
[00:14:35] more about the weather on our
[00:14:39] info channels.
[00:14:42] That's all for the news overview, thank you for your attention, goodbye.
[00:15:45] The first Ćiro passed through Bosnian-Herzegovinian
[00:15:47] railway tracks more than 130
[00:15:51] years ago, back in 1891.
[00:15:54] It solemnly arrived from Metković to Sarajevo. From
[00:15:57] then until today, this section is a Bosnian-Herzegovinian
[00:16:01] treasure, built by the Austro-Hungarians for seven years
[00:16:04] in four stages due to the difficult terrain.
[00:16:08] Today, train drivers call part of this railway from Sarajevo
[00:16:11] over Bradina "half in the dark, half in the air,"
[00:16:15] due to more than 70 bridges and viaducts over which
[00:16:19] the train passes, and as many as 166
[00:16:22] tunnels. It is part of Corridor 5c and has for years been the lifeline
[00:16:26] for transporting tons of various goods to and from
[00:16:30] the port of Ploče in neighboring Croatia. Its perhaps even
[00:16:33] greatest value are the magnificent landscapes,
[00:16:36] nature that travelers describe as paradise on Earth.
[00:16:40] It deserves the epithet of one of the most beautiful train rides in
[00:16:43] the world, says an enthusiastic Australian of Bosnian-Herzegovinian
[00:16:47] origin, Safet Mangić.
[00:16:51] The rivers are green and blue. And it rests
[00:16:54] the eyes, it rests the mind. I say, this is
[00:16:57] paradise. And we had such a nice experience in Mostar,
[00:17:01] it was phenomenal. Culture, tradition,
[00:17:05] the Old Bridge. On the boat, "we went
[00:17:08] up and down, we climbed the bridge,
[00:17:11] went, drank a beer or two and
[00:17:14] so on, we really had a nice time,
[00:17:17] now we were
[00:17:20] looking for a normal transport that would allow us to, look
[00:17:24] at this, look at this beauty, look how
[00:17:27] green, blue, how clean, how crystal
[00:17:31] clear it is, that's what we came to see, and some
[00:17:35] history too, I like history, yes."
[00:17:38] "Well, you can't get a better view than this, you can't, really, look
[00:17:41] at this, I'd like to take my canoe from Perth
[00:17:45] and canoe here with my son, we
[00:17:48] do that, whether it's a ride through the Neretva canyon,
[00:17:52] railway bridges over Lake Jablanica, or even
[00:17:56] a view of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian natural
[00:17:58] riches while driving over high viaducts,
[00:18:02] it's enjoyable from the first to the last minute. The most responsible for the safety
[00:18:05] of tourists are those who operate the train,
[00:18:09] the train drivers, they tell us, the most beautiful view
[00:18:12] is from their workplace, so we go
[00:18:16] there. Some might say that the job of a
[00:18:19] train driver is easy, but it's far from it.
[00:18:22] Namely, from the first to the last minute of the journey,
[00:18:25] concentration must be at a high level. In addition
[00:18:29] to that, from point A to point B, there are almost no breaks, no trips
[00:18:33] to the toilet, the post is always done by two train drivers.
[00:18:37] Too much responsibility, simply, here's one
[00:18:40] of the most dangerous railway lines in Europe, you're bringing a train down here, I'm saying
[00:18:44] a 1400-ton train, you need to bring the train down to
[00:18:47] Konjic where all sorts of unforeseen
[00:18:50] things happen, this and that. I don't know what's a greater responsibility,
[00:18:53] when the terrain is difficult and sometimes
[00:18:56] people, the responsibility is greater for people. For example,
[00:19:00] Friday, Saturday, Sunday, the train goes to Ploče, a double
[00:19:03] set, 500, 600 passengers on the train.
[00:19:08] You have to be responsible for 500-600 passengers. Now, bringing
[00:19:11] a train down this track with some breakdowns, whatever, it
[00:19:15] always happens, something happens, a defect occurs
[00:19:18] on the locomotive, what do I know
[00:19:20] everything, you think about safety,
[00:19:24] traffic, about everything,
[00:19:26] it's a burden, it's a responsibility, but there's
[00:19:30] a good part here, adventure, you're always in
[00:19:33] a different place, always with different people, there are positive things.
[00:19:38] The tracks also bring numerous dangers, falling
[00:19:40] stones, animals, but in the worst case,
[00:19:44] an irresponsible individual. There haven't been any major
[00:19:46] accidents, especially when passengers are on the train,
[00:19:50] say experienced train drivers Aid Bučuk
[00:19:54] and Senin Bešić. No matter how dangerous the section over
[00:19:57] Bradina is, it's a challenge for them. Slopes, deer
[00:20:00] and bears are everyday sights for them. But when a breakdown
[00:20:04] occurs on this particular part of the track, you have to roll up your
[00:20:07] sleeves. Perhaps that's one of the reasons
[00:20:11] why there isn't a single woman in this job.
[00:20:14] Bradina is a problem, for a woman, Bradina might be a bit of a problem.
[00:20:18] It looks simple, but it's not, believe me, a freight train,
[00:20:22] let's say you're on a freight train
[00:20:25] and God forbid you have a breakdown somewhere
[00:20:28] here, and you have to get out and protect that train.
[00:20:31] In five minutes, you have to protect that train so it doesn't go
[00:20:35] downhill where... you need wheel chocks, we have our
[00:20:38] chocks, so you put chocks under the wheels, then we have hand
[00:20:42] brakes so you wind them up, then you have to go uphill for three hours, after
[00:20:46] midnight it's snowing, fog, this and that, bears.
[00:20:50] They fall down. So what happens when you can't
[00:20:54] fix it yourself? Then you
[00:20:57] call, you report where you are, what you are doing, an auxiliary locomotive
[00:21:01] arrives,
[00:21:03] and another one arrives, if there is one nearby, and there should
[00:21:07] be. Another
[00:21:09] locomotive comes, everything is hitched up, and the
[00:21:13] journey continues. Serious breakdowns don't happen often, and
[00:21:16] passengers who travel daily during the summer season... up to
[00:21:20] a thousand, possible unpleasant events in the locomotive
[00:21:23] are not felt in the train, mostly tourists, especially after
[00:21:27] the British Guardian declared this railway one of
[00:21:30] the 18 most beautiful in the world. But locals often
[00:21:34] return for the ride, so this
[00:21:37] route is really beautiful, the Neretva canyon is wonderful, the view
[00:21:40] of Prenj, Čvrsnica, it's beautiful, truly unique,
[00:21:44] our Bosnia and Herzegovina is the most beautiful, there's no
[00:21:48] doubt about it.
[00:21:50] Neretva, lakes, mountains, plains,
[00:21:54] everything, everything, everything, from Mostar to Sarajevo, we have
[00:21:58] something to look at and see, tunnels and everything. Mostar
[00:22:02] is the final destination for most, the train goes slow
[00:22:05] enough, at some points only 30 km/h, which provides
[00:22:09] an excellent opportunity for passengers to sightsee, but in some
[00:22:13] parts it goes 80 km/h, which makes the
[00:22:16] journey from Sarajevo to Mostar and back take about
[00:22:20] two hours, almost the same as by car. Still,
[00:22:24] it's not the same, says train driver Senit
[00:22:26] Bešić. Especially, for example, if we look at it from an
[00:22:29] ecological aspect, for example, we use electricity
[00:22:33] for transport, right now passengers, where
[00:22:36] there is no harmful impact
[00:22:40] on nature. That's
[00:22:43] enough to start from that, to
[00:22:46] say why the railway is important, why
[00:22:50] the railway should be used more. Now, for example, if I have
[00:22:53] in this train, let's say, 300
[00:22:57] passengers,
[00:22:59] now imagine, let's say two passengers per car,
[00:23:03] imagine now 150 cars on this section on
[00:23:07] roads as they are, what a burden that is for road
[00:23:10] traffic. What kind of fuel
[00:23:14] consumption is that, what kind of pollution we were talking about
[00:23:18] in the end, about gases and so on,
[00:23:21] I mean, there are many, many advantages,
[00:23:25] and for that
[00:23:28] reason, the railway,
[00:23:31] the railway needs to be given attention, and the government
[00:23:35] of the federation
[00:23:37] needs to get more involved in the development, modernization
[00:23:40] of the railway, so that we would have,
[00:23:43] well, more comfortable
[00:23:46] passenger transport, so that by doing so, we would
[00:23:50] save so much of these beauties that you experienced by riding with us on
[00:23:53] the locomotive. There are many, many, many, many aspects,
[00:23:57] which is why the railway is a very acceptable mode of
[00:24:00] transport for both passengers and goods.
[00:24:04] The director of one of the sectors within the Federation Railways,
[00:24:06] Namir Mahmutović, also appeals to
[00:24:10] the authorities to pay more attention to this mode of
[00:24:13] transport, especially when it comes to freight transport,
[00:24:17] and for the passengers themselves, ticket prices are accessible,
[00:24:21] and the advantages are huge. As for this railway line, from
[00:24:24] Sarajevo towards Ploče, I think that a period of almost
[00:24:28] 30, 40 years has passed, during
[00:24:32] which nothing more has been done on this railway line, and we believe that it
[00:24:36] is a pan-European railway line on Corridor 5c, and
[00:24:39] we believe that a significant portion of this part from
[00:24:43] Bradina to Konjic, i.e., from Konjic to Bradina, represents a bottleneck
[00:24:47] on this railway line, and we are of the opinion
[00:24:50] that it was long overdue to work on
[00:24:54] some other project, because generationally speaking,
[00:24:57] every 50 years the railway underwent
[00:25:01] some technical
[00:25:04] transformations, while this railway line still remains in the period
[00:25:07] it was in before the war. We must build it ourselves
[00:25:11] and I think we must catch up as soon as
[00:25:14] possible with the development of railways in the European Union. You see that we have
[00:25:18] trains in Europe now that travel 200 km to 400
[00:25:21] km/h. We probably find it difficult
[00:25:25] to achieve such speeds here, but it is necessary to acquire,
[00:25:28] build new railways, and acquire new capacities. This is shown by
[00:25:32] the interest of passengers. We have a very large
[00:25:35] renewed freight transport in this area. In any case,
[00:25:39] perhaps this would also be an appeal for responsible people from
[00:25:43] state and entity levels to get involved as soon as possible
[00:25:46] in railway projects, in the development of the railway tracks
[00:25:50] and capacities on the railway. The first kilometers
[00:25:53] of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian railway were built during the Ottoman
[00:25:57] era, and continued during Austro-Hungarian rule,
[00:26:01] but the train was then reserved only for high-class
[00:26:04] clientele. Ticket prices from Bosanski Novi, today's
[00:26:07] Novi Grad, to Banja Luka cost a staggering
[00:26:11] 90 crowns for first class. If
[00:26:14] we translate that to the conditions of that time,
[00:26:17] the price of one rifle was said to be 30 to 40
[00:26:21] crowns, the price of one sheep was 10 crowns. Today,
[00:26:25] for a little over 20 marks, we can all
[00:26:28] be high-class clientele, afford a ride of 102.
[00:26:32] 29 km of railway, which is
[00:26:35] the best way to experience the adventure of train travel,
[00:26:38] as stated by the British Guardian, placing this
[00:26:42] journey on par with the railways of Sicily, Corsica,
[00:26:45] Norway, Tibet, Peru.
