[00:00:20] Good afternoon, dear viewers, events
[00:00:25] protect maritime routes in of the day. The large fire in the Konjic area
[00:00:28] has not yet been brought under control.
[00:00:30] control.
[00:00:33] The Main Board of the New Zenica Ironworks Trade Union demands from
[00:00:37] the company's management severance pay for all
[00:00:40] workers by August
[00:00:41] 10th.
[00:00:45] New hearings for associates of the Srebrenica Memorial Center.
[00:00:48] The Center offers legal assistance to current and former
[00:00:51] associates.
[00:00:57] A large fire in the Konjic area has not yet been brought under
[00:01:00] control, the most difficult situation is in the area of
[00:01:03] the settlements of Kanjina and Živašnica where the fire
[00:01:07] threatens residential buildings.
[00:01:19] You pour raw coffee, roast it over
[00:01:28] Firefighters and locals extinguished the fires during the night, but
[00:01:31] inaccessible terrain and demanding conditions further complicate
[00:01:35] the fight against the fire. In some places, the fire approached
[00:01:39] houses within a hundred meters, and today, a helicopter of the armed
[00:01:42] forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as a helicopter of the Ministry
[00:01:46] of Internal Affairs of the Zenica Canton, were engaged in extinguishing
[00:01:49] the fire. The Ministry of Defense states that this is one of
[00:01:53] the most complex tasks performed by members of the Air Force
[00:01:56] and Air Defense Brigade due to the inaccessible terrain and difficult
[00:02:00] working conditions. Additional difficulties are created by thick smoke above
[00:02:03] the fire area, which hinders aerial
[00:02:07] extinguishing. very,
[00:02:11] very difficult situation, you see that we are fighting here with fire to save residential
[00:02:14] buildings, that is our priority today to save, here
[00:02:18] after we save residential buildings, they will start working, it seems
[00:02:22] to me that bigger tractors are working from Mostar, armed forces from Zenica-Doboj
[00:02:25] Canton, civil protection, the situation
[00:02:28] is difficult, we have, you see above again there are also residential buildings in
[00:02:32] question the situation
[00:02:34] on all fire fronts, the fire front up towards Džepska
[00:02:38] Mountain, over here on the right and left branch, the fire is really
[00:02:41] spreading abnormally, you see, it's very, very difficult, how many people are currently
[00:02:45] on the ground? we have somewhere around 35 people on the
[00:02:49] ground with the professional fire brigade, the volunteer fire department, and the forestry service.
[00:02:52] I was there last night,
[00:02:53] it wasn't dangerous at all.
[00:02:56] It was burning here too. From Kanjina,
[00:03:00] I am above the train station,
[00:03:04] above the tracks, so I can see what the situation is like.
[00:03:07] Yesterday morning, they said the fire appeared in three
[00:03:10] places, Ovčari and Kanjina. It wasn't there until
[00:03:14] last night, I think. Something happened around
[00:03:17] 8, and it had already spread. It was burning all day
[00:03:20] there, but not here.
[00:03:23] walk, and There was some smoke, but not too much. Then
[00:03:26] around 3:30 AM, it had completely reached
[00:03:29] this house. "The firefighters were here, the locals,
[00:03:32] it was put out this morning when I got up, at seven, it had come
[00:03:36] all the way down to that house up there, it was
[00:03:39] contained, it was put out, they went up, now it has moved
[00:03:42] up, now I don't know what's up there, I haven't gone, and
[00:03:45] that's it, what is this, we don't even know ourselves, what happened
[00:03:49] yesterday, was your house in danger last night,
[00:03:53] well, yes, yes, yes, there was danger because
[00:03:56] there is a hill up there, the hill had come down.
[00:04:00] channels. That's all for this news summary, thank you for it was close to the house, it was dangerous for us, really. So,
[00:04:03] do you expect this fire to be extinguished? Well,
[00:04:07] I expect the authorities to succeed, to help
[00:04:11] us, because we are really in danger, we are worried.
[00:04:13] The main board of the trade union of the new
[00:04:17] Željezara Zenica demands from the company's management payment
[00:04:21] of severance pay to all workers by August 10th
[00:04:24] of this year, and if that does not happen, they announce protests
[00:04:27] on August 11th in front of the administrative building. and closure in
[00:04:31] the plants, we have a noose around
[00:04:34] our necks,
[00:04:36] uh, bankruptcy, and simply let's try, right, to solve one
[00:04:40] problem before it comes, but
[00:04:43] as I say, we still don't know, we're not, we're not in the judge's
[00:04:47] head, so we'll see if it comes to that,
[00:04:51] but hey, let's try to be one step ahead,
[00:04:55] what we currently have on the scene
[00:04:58] is a different way of fighting
[00:05:02] against what the union advocates for,
[00:05:05] that is, for the continuation of production, the preservation of jobs,
[00:05:08] that is, to completely transfer this whole situation,
[00:05:12] or rather the responsibility for the entire
[00:05:15] situation, to the union,
[00:05:18] which is, to say the least, incorrect,
[00:05:21] and we are all aware that the management's responsibility
[00:05:25] is enormous, and my colleague mentioned, and you have followed
[00:05:28] during the past months, what was promised,
[00:05:31] to what extent what
[00:05:34] renaissance regarding the new Zenica Ironworks, we are in
[00:05:38] a situation where we are thinking about... about
[00:05:42] bankruptcy, that is, termination of contracts for all
[00:05:44] workers,
[00:05:47] ultimately, as a result of all that, we have this situation that
[00:05:50] we have today. Next week, a decision should be
[00:05:54] made on the bankruptcy proposal for the new Zenica Ironworks
[00:05:57] which was submitted by the management of the New Zenica Ironworks
[00:06:01] back on December 17,
[00:06:05] 2025. Their intention was for that bankruptcy to start
[00:06:08] already from the new year, well, thank God for...
[00:06:12] thanks to the union's activities and drawing attention to the importance of the Zenica Ironworks,
[00:06:16] here we are still alive today, and people are
[00:06:20] employed, they received seven salaries in the past period, they received holiday pay,
[00:06:23] financial assistance according to the collective agreement, all
[00:06:26] rights.
[00:06:28] If the court makes a decision to open bankruptcy proceedings, this will
[00:06:32] result in the termination of all
[00:06:34] employment contracts, meaning for all
[00:06:37] 1480 workers currently
[00:06:40] employed.
[00:06:44] Two of the 11 Zenica miners from the Mrkog Uglja
[00:06:48] Zenica mine were forced to leave the Raspotočje pit due to poor health,
[00:06:51] where they had spent three nights.
[00:06:55] Two miners felt ill, after which they, accompanied by the president
[00:06:59] of the Trade Union, Nedžad Duraković, exited the pit.
[00:07:02] Emergency services intervened, and one of the miners was transported to the cantonal
[00:07:06] hospital in Zenica, while the other miner's health condition
[00:07:09] improved, and he requested to return to the pit. The miners
[00:07:12] continue their protest due to unpaid salaries for May and
[00:07:16] June. As of yesterday, they are again temporarily able to
[00:07:19] validate their health
[00:07:20] insurance cards.
[00:07:23] At the Srebrenica police station, four more people connected to
[00:07:27] the Srebrenica Memorial Center were questioned today, bringing the total number of those questioned
[00:07:30] to seven, while the list of people to be
[00:07:34] questioned totals
[00:07:37] 26. The representative of the Memorial Center, Edi Nikanović,
[00:07:40] stated that today statements were given by three people who had previously collaborated with
[00:07:44] the Memorial Center and one current associate, and that the
[00:07:48] interrogations were conducted in the presence of lawyers. He announced
[00:07:52] that the Memorial Center, in consultation with the legal team and
[00:07:55] lawyer, will consider further steps regarding
[00:07:58] the interrogations.
[00:08:08] US President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged that supplies of certain
[00:08:11] types of ammunition and missiles in
[00:08:15] the United States have decreased, but he insists that the army
[00:08:18] remains exceptionally strong. Reports indicate
[00:08:21] that the military expended nearly four-fifths of its Tad missile
[00:08:25] stocks and half of its Patriot interceptors
[00:08:28] during the war with Iran. Trump sharply condemned the leaking of this information
[00:08:31] to the media, calling it a threat to national
[00:08:35] security. Due to reduced stockpiles and concerns from allies
[00:08:38] in the Gulf, the US President ordered the Justice Department
[00:08:42] to investigate, while demanding an immediate increase
[00:08:44] in production from the defense industry.
[00:08:50] munitions that are very powerful that we have
[00:08:53] unlimited, virtual unlimited supply, we have others where it's a little
[00:08:57] bit tighter. we have certain types of munitions which are
[00:09:01] very, they may not be as accurate, they may not be, they're
[00:09:05] not as elite, we have leite to, but
[00:09:08] we're we're watching that very closely, but we have a
[00:09:12] certain. types which are very powerful and very
[00:09:15] good uh and we have an unlimited supply
[00:09:19] and uh so we're in great shape, but uh with that being
[00:09:23] said uh we always want more, we have to have more, we have
[00:09:27] other things maybe come up, you maybe come up and maybe don't come up, hopefully nothing
[00:09:30] else does come up, but we're in very good shape, we have literally massive
[00:09:34] amounts of ammunition.
[00:09:38] Donald Trump's peace committee issued the first contract for the reconstruction of Gaza,
[00:09:42] which envisages the construction of a small military base for 150 Moroccan
[00:09:46] soldiers as part of international stabilization forces. The project
[00:09:50] was awarded to the American company Arkel International,
[00:09:53] and will be built in an area under the control of the Israeli army. Although
[00:09:57] a complete reconstruction and the New Gaza project were announced earlier,
[00:10:00] the plan has been reduced to a miniature pilot project. Meanwhile,
[00:10:03] a large portion of Gaza's two million residents continue to live
[00:10:07] in difficult conditions in camps without access to
[00:10:10] drinking water, while Amnesty International warns of thousands
[00:10:13] of bodies trapped under
[00:10:14] the rubble.
[00:10:19] Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan today in Jeddah
[00:10:22] signed a key trilateral
[00:10:25] defense agreement. In addition to closer military coordination, the agreement includes
[00:10:29] intelligence sharing, joint military exercises, and
[00:10:32] cooperation in the defense industry. The pact connects
[00:10:35] the economic power of Saudi Arabia, the military technology of Turkey as a NATO
[00:10:39] member, and the nuclear potential of Pakistan.
[00:10:42] The agreement comes as a direct response to the escalating conflict between
[00:10:46] the US and Iran and aims to
[00:10:50] the Red Sea and the Strait
[00:10:51] of Hormuz.
[00:10:55] At least seven people died in Thailand when a fourteen-year-old
[00:10:59] student carried out a deadly attack at a prominent high school near
[00:11:03] Bangkok. The boy first killed his grandparents in
[00:11:07] his family home, then used his grandfather's pistol to kill teachers
[00:11:11] and students at the school, after which he took his own life. More than
[00:11:14] 15 people were injured while frightened students sought safety
[00:11:18] by locking themselves in classrooms and climbing over fences. The motive
[00:11:22] for the crime is still unknown.
[00:11:28] I saw that he was using a 9mm pistol. In
[00:11:32] the bag he carried over his shoulder, he had a pistol magazine and
[00:11:36] about 20 to 30 more bullets. When I arrived,
[00:11:39] there was complete chaos. The students we found
[00:11:42] outside were also wounded in the back, chest, and
[00:11:46] arms. We gave them first aid. The student was still
[00:11:49] shooting at that
[00:11:51] moment.
[00:12:38] Bojan Lipovščak brings the weather
[00:12:39] forecast.
[00:12:42] Good afternoon, what kind of weather awaits us today until the end
[00:12:45] of the day? A cold front is located
[00:12:49] north of the Alps, a small part of it has passed over the Alpine
[00:12:52] barrier, it has bypassed it, and... A small amount
[00:12:55] of unstable air has penetrated over the northern
[00:12:59] Adriatic, over the northwestern parts
[00:13:02] of the Balkan interior. This
[00:13:05] cold front will pass very quickly north of
[00:13:08] the Alps and will not bring a big change in weather here.
[00:13:12] For now, sunny and stable weather will
[00:13:16] remain. Namely, behind the cold front,
[00:13:19] the ridge of the anticyclone intensifies,
[00:13:21] and the weather stabilizes again. So
[00:13:25] this is a short-term little
[00:13:28] bite, a bite of winter that only
[00:13:31] temporarily interrupted the heat
[00:13:34] wave. Today we will mostly have sunny
[00:13:37] weather with moderate to strong development of daily
[00:13:40] clouds, so only locally
[00:13:44] a shower and thunder are possible. The highest
[00:13:48] daily temperatures will be high,
[00:13:51] hot, above 30°C in Herzegovina,
[00:13:55] up to 38°C.
[00:13:58] The sea is very warm,
[00:14:00] 28°C, so
[00:14:03] it is very pleasant for
[00:14:07] swimming, and the ultraviolet index is also high and very
[00:14:10] high. In the Adriatic, a southwest wind will blow, while in the
[00:14:14] northern part of the Adriatic, a bora wind will blow. More about the
[00:14:18] weather can be followed on our
[00:14:21] info
[00:14:25] your attention, goodbye.
[00:15:18] Northern Bosnia and Herzegovina, surrounding
[00:15:21] Doboj, Petrovo, Maglaj.
[00:15:27] Mount Ozren dominates the landscape, especially its highest
[00:15:30] peak, Velika Ostravica, with an altitude of 918 meters
[00:15:34] above sea level.
[00:15:40] Geologists, as well as investors,
[00:15:44] have cast their eyes on the seemingly wild nature.
[00:15:48] While there are whispers of copper, nickel, and even
[00:15:50] gold on Ozren, the locals are determined to preserve their
[00:15:54] paradise. The population has preserved old
[00:15:57] customs, beliefs, traditional medicine, and the gathering of medicinal
[00:16:00] herb 'iva' has even been included on UNESCO's list of intangible
[00:16:04] heritage. It is especially and massively gathered every September
[00:16:07] 11th, on the day commemorating the Beheading of Saint John
[00:16:10] the Baptist. Iva is the third element from Bosnia and
[00:16:14] Herzegovina on this prestigious list of humanity.
[00:16:18] Previously, the Zmijanje embroidery and Konjic woodcarving were
[00:16:21] protected.
[00:16:25] "The Iva herb turns the dead into living." This is a well-known saying.
[00:16:28] It's bitter, but just one stem in tea or brandy
[00:16:32] is medicinal. Radivoj also knows the benefits of the mountain,
[00:16:35] having returned from Canada.
[00:16:38] If only I hadn't left, if I had stayed here and had the opportunity to
[00:16:42] achieve something like this, I wouldn't have left, he says breathlessly, as
[00:16:46] he shows guests at his ethno-household an old coffee
[00:16:49] roaster, and then
[00:16:50] a grinder.
[00:16:56] the fire, then grind it, and voilà, Turkish coffee. But it's only called
[00:17:00] Turkish, Turkey doesn't produce
[00:17:02] coffee.
[00:17:07] is happy to learn about old crafts and objects, traditional wooden
[00:17:11] houses, and helps the hostess prepare a warm meal for
[00:17:15] guests.
[00:17:18] For those seeking adrenaline and an active vacation, the advice is to go
[00:17:22] two hundred meters further.
[00:17:25] The Paragliding base on Ozren, with professional paragliders, has become
[00:17:28] a magnet for adrenaline addicts. From the air, they
[00:17:31] say, the world is in the palm of your
[00:17:32] hand.
[00:17:45] At the top of Ozren there is also a mini zoo, a tourist complex, offering
[00:17:49] hiking, paintball, zipline, paragliding,
[00:17:51] swimming.
[00:17:56] Maša and Ljubica are she-bears, three and four years old, found as
[00:18:00] cubs in the forest without a mother. They were adopted by Petar, the owner
[00:18:03] of the complex. We will become recognizable. and this part of Ozren and
[00:18:06] Doboj will be recognizable by this place, we offer,
[00:18:10] we try to encompass a wide range of people, primarily
[00:18:14] nature lovers, those who love animals,
[00:18:17] respect nature,
[00:18:21] love adrenaline sports, then
[00:18:24] we go further and organize
[00:18:28] art colonies during the year, so that artists gather around
[00:18:31] us, at our place, who create works here
[00:18:35] that... are placed in the fundus of this place here, so that we will
[00:18:38] offer them such services of some active recreation
[00:18:42] in nature, that is to try
[00:18:45] to fly a paraglider in a tandem paraglider or even
[00:18:49] some short paragliding course to see what it looks like and
[00:18:52] if they like it then to start some kind of training
[00:18:56] where they would finish so that they could independently
[00:18:59] fly a paraglider, and when you land, you will explore
[00:19:03] the estate, bring hornbeam leaves if you go... to Francesco
[00:19:06] the llama, it's hot for her, and the llama
[00:19:10] Franz defends himself by spitting, so
[00:19:13] he spits like that, which, however,
[00:19:16] creates sympathy among people. People come here with the intention of having a little
[00:19:20] argument with Franz so that Franz spits at
[00:19:22] them like that, humanly, humanly,
[00:19:25] this is unique in its own
[00:19:29] way and attractive, and last year a grandfather found
[00:19:32] a fawn that dogs had attacked, not
[00:19:36] killed. He rescued it and bathed it, because they had already driven
[00:19:40] it into a puddle, then he didn't know what to do with it, he called
[00:19:43] me, we took that fawn and raised it, so that fawn
[00:19:47] walks around here, it's already a grown deer, Mara
[00:19:50] is her name, she already comes here to the guests when they arrive,
[00:19:54] goes around the tables to see what's there, she knows where the food is in the shed,
[00:19:58] she goes and takes corn or
[00:20:01] whatever, and eats, so all of that in its own
[00:20:04] way creates some kind of sympathy for visitors,
[00:20:08] some unusual things.
[00:20:11] This mountain beauty was mined in the wartime 90s,
[00:20:14] today there are still mines, so all visitors to the mountain
[00:20:18] are advised to be careful, especially those who would explore the caves
[00:20:22] of this region, among which the most famous is Mokra
[00:20:24] Megara. Up until now, no thorough and
[00:20:28] systematic research of this cave has been carried out, so
[00:20:32] our goals are to find these species that are described for these
[00:20:36] caves.
[00:21:20] are not flooded, for example ceilings or other channels, to
[00:21:23] succeed in finding some of them. Expeditions
[00:21:27] of speleologists and nature lovers are becoming more frequent, researchers from
[00:21:31] the region come to Ozren with a purpose.
[00:21:34] Namely, this is also known as the habitat of the Maglaj giant,
[00:21:38] an endemic insect, which lives only in this
[00:21:41] area and nowhere else. However, it was discovered a hundred years ago during the Austro-Hungarian
[00:21:45] era, and since then we have practically had a void in terms of biological
[00:21:48] research of this area. "Why, why are we exploring the Megara
[00:21:52] cave? Well, to protect this area. Currently,
[00:21:55] I'm interested in bats only, this, if we pick up anything
[00:21:59] along the way, that's a bonus, because from here,
[00:22:02] as Marijan said, we know very little, this, we don't even have lists
[00:22:06] of these butterflies, we actually have nothing, if we're being honest,
[00:22:10] this, we know nothing about bats. Now we managed to
[00:22:13] film one there, I think it's a pygmy, but that still
[00:22:17] needs to be confirmed, this."
[00:22:20] "These first parts are cold, so it's not really for them, this,
[00:22:23] a horseshoe bat, for example, wants a 7-degree warm cave,
[00:22:26] that's probably deeper inside, here we just measured the wind, it's
[00:22:30] 6 km per hour, that's a bit too cold
[00:22:33] for the small horseshoe bats, who are currently among
[00:22:37] the most endangered species in Europe, but it might be warmer in the depths,
[00:22:41] so we'll see where we are, what
[00:22:45] we have, what
[00:22:47] bats, spiders, insects, what's hidden in the bowels of this
[00:22:51] land? We pay huge amounts of money to go to
[00:22:55] Europe to see things, but we have such beautiful tourist potentials
[00:22:59] in our own country, about which we practically know nothing. Megara has never been fully
[00:23:02] explored, there were attempts, there were some experimental
[00:23:06] researches in the 60s, 70s, but no one finished
[00:23:09] it, everyone started it, no one finished it. I hope that now
[00:23:12] the Fojničani and together with all of us who truly support
[00:23:16] this project will succeed in finally putting an end to...
[00:23:20] the exploration of Megara, so we know what it is, whether there is life,
[00:23:23] what the flora is like, what the fauna is like, what the life forms are
[00:23:27] inside, and that they even exist and everything else, ultimately, to establish
[00:23:31] this as a tourist potential, a tourist destination where people will come
[00:23:34] here, this, it immediately opens up
[00:23:38] job opportunities, a restaurant can be opened immediately, some kind of overnight stay
[00:23:41] for some guests and tourists and
[00:23:45] so on, so this is really an important, important thing, an important
[00:23:48] project, we also have another, another illness,
[00:23:52] this, you can't, and whatever you start, immediately negative
[00:23:55] selection is made, it's all failed, it's all better not to try anything and
[00:23:59] so on. The biology of the cave has not been investigated for a hundred years, since
[00:24:02] the time of Austro-Hungary. If it were investigated, Megara could eventually
[00:24:06] become accessible to tourists. We
[00:24:09] did a lot of research in the 80s,
[00:24:12] every year we came and then we
[00:24:15] physically explored about 2 km, as Jasminko says, we didn't do those
[00:24:19] scientific research, which,
[00:24:22] well, finally we will start with those things, from
[00:24:25] bats, from all kinds of insects, the complete
[00:24:28] fauna, try to find even newer species and see what
[00:24:32] else is there, today we are working with three
[00:24:35] teams, one team is going, let's say,
[00:24:39] to conquer, to prepare, there we have some three waterfalls to physically
[00:24:42] secure them so that the expedition can continue deeper
[00:24:45] inside, I am leading one team that will redraw
[00:24:48] with new technology
[00:24:50] everything... the drawing will
[00:24:54] continue these days, so I hope by the end of the camp I will have
[00:24:57] over 2 km of drawn Megara so that we physically
[00:25:01] know what it looks like inside, this is for example one of the objects that can certainly be
[00:25:05] attractive for tourism, so that
[00:25:08] one part, some first 600-700 meters, can be equipped for tourists, today I will
[00:25:11] look at it a bit so that some things can be solved
[00:25:15] when there is a lot of
[00:25:16] water.
[00:25:25] Yes, there is also a waterfall in the cave, it's small, but very challenging. Until
[00:25:29] 2021, there were also mines at its entrance.
[00:25:32] Today, that part is safe. We
[00:25:35] need to be careful of mines, this
[00:25:38] approach has been demined, but the other
[00:25:41] parts, left and right, everywhere where it's
[00:25:45] marked with mines, I would ask everyone not to enter
[00:25:48] without someone from these areas. The Megara cave has been,
[00:25:52] as I said, mined for the past 30 years, it was inaccessible
[00:25:55] for both citizens of Maglaj and Doboj.
[00:25:58] We hope that now it will be demined and become a protected nature
[00:26:02] park, which non-governmental organizations from both entities
[00:26:05] aim to connect people on the slopes
[00:26:08] of Ozren.
[00:26:15] The protected nature park should become a part
[00:26:18] of Ozren. A mountain that hides mineral, natural riches,
[00:26:21] remembers tradition, and whose people call themselves guardians
[00:26:25] of Ozren.
