[00:00:00] 5.6%. The crisis is among our neighbors and
[00:00:03] neighbors globally. Croatia, I don't know,
[00:00:07] calculated a 7-8% deficit. They were
[00:00:10] precise, since they have a lot of online bookings, that only
[00:00:13] 23% of Germans were fewer this year. So
[00:00:17] wars in the Middle East, wars in Ukraine, and a major economic crisis
[00:00:21] in the European Union, primarily in Germany, result in
[00:00:24] a decline everywhere. Sarajevo at least for now stands out from that
[00:00:28] trend, and if current indicators are to be believed, the crowds on the
[00:00:32] streets of the capital will last for some time longer. Feđa
[00:00:35] Kulina, N1.
[00:00:38] In the Bosnian Cultural Center in Tuzla, the book
[00:00:42] "Send Me a Raspberry Clod" by Salih
[00:00:44] Strašević was promoted. It is a novel that breaks down prejudices,
[00:00:48] shatters entrenched stereotypes, and reveals the
[00:00:51] dark sides of historical events that Bosnia
[00:00:55] and Herzegovina went through from the agrarian reform of
[00:00:57] 1918 all the way to the end. the beginning of the Second World
[00:01:00] War. This is a work that bravely delves into the most sensitive parts
[00:01:04] of our past and opens questions that have long
[00:01:07] been silenced, it was said at the promotion. Economic persecution,
[00:01:10] confiscation of land from beys and descendants of medieval Bosnian
[00:01:14] nobility, and political and social turbulences are presented through
[00:01:17] the destinies of people who bore the burden of a difficult
[00:01:20] time.
[00:01:22] Five years of collecting material was extremely
[00:01:26] difficult because the topic is sensitive, and there was not
[00:01:29] much information available to the public. So
[00:01:32] what was available in terms of material,
[00:01:37] n1info.Ba. Thank you for your what I could gather from books, that
[00:01:39] was the backbone of my book, all those conversations
[00:01:43] I had. So that topic is still somehow interesting among
[00:01:47] people.
[00:01:50] What Strašević presented in this book is that if we had known
[00:01:54] certain things in the 80s, we would have faced the 90s in a much
[00:01:57] different way. That is the greatest significance of this book. He
[00:02:01] covered a period of
[00:02:04] our society, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in a certain geopolitical
[00:02:07] context about a hundred years ago, and
[00:02:10] we can find identical things even today.
[00:02:13] Next up, news and
[00:02:16] sports.
[00:02:25] Warm greetings, dear viewers. I am Haris
[00:03:38] Sarajevo football club, the popular Horde Zla, will not attend the upcoming
[00:03:41] match against the first round of the Premijer Liga of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in which
[00:03:45] the maroon team will host Bijeljinski Radnik at the Rođeni Stadium in Vrapčići,
[00:03:49] Mostar. We are witnesses that postponed
[00:03:52] matches, changes in playing dates, or venue changes
[00:03:55] are quite normal practice in the world of football, but for people within
[00:03:59] the club, these are abstract concepts about missed opportunities for finally
[00:04:03] resolving the situation regarding stadium management. It is superfluous
[00:04:06] to waste words. We do not want to diminish the responsibility of the Centar
[00:04:10] Municipality and their false promises regarding the pitch and the stadium's reconstruction.
[00:04:14] We call on the employees of the Football Club
[00:04:17] Sarajevo to finally seriously approach the management of the club in order to
[00:04:21] return it to where it belongs, that is, to the very top. Also,
[00:04:24] we want to note that this year we are celebrating 80 years of existence
[00:04:28] of the Sarajevo football club. Nothing else but trophies and success interests
[00:04:32] us, the statement
[00:06:43] That's all for sports news. Don't forget that you can find all other sports news on
[00:06:47] our portal
[00:06:50] attention.
[00:06:59] The weather forecast is brought to you by Radmila Mitrović.
[00:07:02] A slight drop in temperature is forecast, but it
[00:07:06] remains very warm. Daily maximums for the weekend
[00:07:09] will reach up to 35 degrees in the south. up to
[00:07:12] 38. An increase in humidity in the air
[00:07:16] is expected, so it will be muggy with conditions for local development of
[00:07:20] showers accompanied by
[00:07:22] thunder. On Saturday morning and forenoon, mostly
[00:07:26] clear. In the afternoon, an increase in cloudiness is expected, so there will be conditions
[00:07:30] for showers with thunder in most of the country. A light to
[00:07:33] moderate northerly wind will blow. Minimum temperature
[00:07:37] in Bosnia up to 21 degrees, in the south up to
[00:07:39] 28. Maximum from 30 to
[00:07:43] 38 degrees. The break from extreme temperatures
[00:07:46] will be short-lived. From Sunday, the weather will be mostly sunny, and from
[00:07:50] Monday, it will be warmer again. The maximum daily
[00:07:53] temperature next week will again be higher than
[00:07:56] 40°.
[00:07:59] And that's all for the news. Dear viewers, thank you for your attention, good
[00:08:03] evening.
[00:08:38] Good evening, you are watching N1 daily news, I am Maja Žeželj, this is today's top story.
[00:08:45] The President of Ukraine arrived in Belgrade for his first
[00:08:48] bilateral visit to Serbia since the beginning of
[00:08:51] the war.
[00:08:55] And these are the other news topics in
[00:08:57] the daily news.
[00:09:02] N1 with people who were evacuated from the settlements
[00:09:05] near the Deliblato Sands.
[00:09:09] I just pray to God that everything goes well. If they manage to extinguish it.
[00:09:14] Fire in Pečara covered 700 hectares,
[00:09:17] the army also joined the extinguishing efforts.
[00:09:31] What did anyone hear at the Storm celebration in
[00:09:34] Knin?
[00:09:36] That's what I didn't get to see, I can't comment on anything,
[00:09:39] those who think this is democracy.
[00:09:42] who turn
[00:09:45] a blind eye or think it should
[00:09:48] be tolerated,
[00:09:50] are wrong.
[00:09:53] You will also see how he builds a pig
[00:09:56] farm, right next to the special nature reserve of
[00:10:00] Zasavica.
[00:10:04] Tomorrow, warm and muggy, afternoon showers possible in the
[00:10:08] mountains, temperature up to
[00:10:09] 35°.
[00:10:15] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky landed in
[00:10:19] Belgrade. This is the first bilateral visit of the Ukrainian
[00:10:22] president to Belgrade, and his
[00:10:25] meeting with the President of Serbia will be one of the most significant political
[00:10:29] meetings, especially at a time when Belgrade
[00:10:31] is trying to balance relations between Ukraine and
[00:10:35] Europe on one side, and Moscow on the other.
[00:10:38] Zelensky was welcomed at the Belgrade airport by
[00:10:42] Minister Dubravka Đedović Handanović. The Ukrainian
[00:10:45] president wrote on his Telegram channel: I have arrived
[00:10:49] in Serbia with my team. Important talks are planned for today
[00:10:52] and tomorrow with President Aleksandar Vučić and
[00:10:56] Prime Minister Đuro Macuto. We will discuss
[00:10:59] expanding economic cooperation between our countries with
[00:11:02] the European Union, and other things that can be of
[00:11:05] benefit to our peoples regarding security issues.
[00:11:09] Ukraine is always ready to work constructively for mutual
[00:11:13] interest based on mutual respect, Zelensky
[00:11:16] stated.
[00:11:19] And the visit of the Ukrainian president to Serbia is being followed by N1
[00:11:22] reporter Žana Bulajić. On the other hand, who welcomed
[00:11:25] the President of Ukraine in
[00:11:27] Belgrade?
[00:11:31] Well, Maja, as announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr
[00:11:34] Zelensky, Dubravka Đedović Handanović, the Minister of Energy, welcomed
[00:11:37] him. This will be among other things, one
[00:11:41] of the topics of discussion. President Vučić
[00:11:44] announced yesterday the three main topics of discussion
[00:11:47] with the Ukrainian guest. These will include
[00:11:51] strengthening energy cooperation and economic cooperation.
[00:11:55] Also, they will discuss the European
[00:11:58] path of the two countries, bearing in mind that, as Vučić said, both
[00:12:02] of them face similar challenges and problems on that European
[00:12:05] path. More or less, that's all the details known
[00:12:09] about the talks. The visit itself
[00:12:11] somehow went under the radar, considering that when
[00:12:15] such high-level delegations arrive, almost the entire city is adorned
[00:12:19] with flags of the statesman we are welcoming. The city is minimally
[00:12:22] adorned with
[00:12:25] Ukrainian flags. We could see them here on Proleterske Solidarnosti Street, the street that
[00:12:29] leads to the Palace of Serbia. Flags were also seen
[00:12:33] near Mostarska Petlja, so if you were moving through
[00:12:36] the city, you wouldn't be able to tell from the
[00:12:40] flags that the Ukrainian guest had arrived in
[00:12:43] Serbia. As for these topics, these are the official
[00:12:47] topics. Michael Martens, a German journalist who knows the situation
[00:12:51] in the Balkans very well, mentioned another
[00:12:55] topic in a text discussing this visit.
[00:12:58] Among other things, it is military cooperation. It is mentioned that there
[00:13:02] could potentially be discussions about a drone factory in
[00:13:06] Serbia, and among other things, one of his interlocutors,
[00:13:09] who was former American ambassador Christopher Hill, brought up
[00:13:13] the topic of military cooperation between Serbia and
[00:13:17] Ukraine. Investigative journalists have, since the
[00:13:20] beginning of the Ukrainian-
[00:13:22] Russian war, too often mentioned
[00:13:25] that our ammunition and weapons can be seen in the
[00:13:29] hands of Ukrainian soldiers. Serbia has always denied this,
[00:13:33] stating that it exports to other countries,
[00:13:36] and where those weapons end up, it
[00:13:39] does not know. What Hill reveals, among other things,
[00:13:43] is that he, as the then American ambassador, was a
[00:13:46] kind of link between Ukraine
[00:13:49] and Serbia precisely in that agreement about everything that
[00:13:53] the Ukrainian army needed. However, it is important to say
[00:13:57] that Serbia, as one of the few countries that has not
[00:14:00] imposed sanctions on Russia, is perceived
[00:14:03] as a great ally of Russia, and
[00:14:06] among other things, there is a known special kind of sympathy
[00:14:10] of the Serbian people both towards Russia and Vladimir Putin. We
[00:14:14] spoke with citizens today about what they think of this visit. Here's what they
[00:14:18] said. How do you view this visit? Well,
[00:14:21] negatively. Why? Well, because of everything that
[00:14:24] is happening. In what context is the visit negative for you? Well, because
[00:14:28] I think we have better friends. Who are our better
[00:14:32] friends? Well, it's known who. He is
[00:14:35] persona non grata for Belgrade. Well, he came, he came, I don't see
[00:14:39] any problem. And why this visit at this
[00:14:42] moment? He goes everywhere, as far as I watch
[00:14:46] television, he goes everywhere he can, to get any
[00:14:49] help. And should Serbia send humanitarian
[00:14:53] aid to Ukraine, what do you think? Well, I'll tell you, all countries that are
[00:14:57] attacked, those who are defending themselves from an aggressor,
[00:15:00] should be on their side in principle. The
[00:15:04] form of aid, each country should determine. What will this bring to our
[00:15:07] politics? Well, it depends, it depends on how much weapons
[00:15:09] we sell.
[00:15:13] This news was certainly also in the focus of Russian, as well as
[00:15:17] Ukrainian media. Russian media reported the official
[00:15:20] information announced by the media service of the
[00:15:23] President of Serbia... regarding the visit. In Ukrainian media, and from
[00:15:27] unnamed Ukrainian officials, it was heard that they, in a way,
[00:15:31] want to work on pulling Serbia away from
[00:15:34] Russia, and that this visit will, in a way, be shameful for the Russians,
[00:15:38] Maja.
[00:15:41] Thank you, Žana. You heard our Žana
[00:15:43] Bulajić. And what could be the topics of
[00:15:47] the visit and what was the history of
[00:15:49] meetings between Vučić and Zelensky like? More in
[00:15:53] the analysis by our Dušan Mlađenović.
[00:15:56] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is making his first visit to Serbia since
[00:16:00] the beginning of the Russian aggression in February 2022. The
[00:16:03] topics of the visit are still being speculated upon. German media, specifically
[00:16:07] Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, states that the main topic could be
[00:16:11] the production of drones in Serbia. Allegedly, an advisor to
[00:16:14] Zelensky has already visited Serbia several times, inspecting
[00:16:18] locations for possible production of unmanned
[00:16:21] aerial vehicles. Journalist Michael Martens writes that former
[00:16:24] American ambassador Christopher Hill told him that he
[00:16:28] connected Ukraine and Serbia, inquiring with Serbian authorities about
[00:16:32] ammunition, and that the US then began to purchase
[00:16:35] a significant quantity of weapons. was needed by Ukraine. This
[00:16:39] confirms the story that Serbian weapons ended up in
[00:16:43] Ukraine. Belgrade has always denied claims that it does this
[00:16:46] directly, but admitted that it is possible that this happens through
[00:16:50] third countries. Another version of Zelensky's visit, reported
[00:16:53] by all pro-regime media, is the so-called
[00:16:56] Carpathian Initiative, which would connect several countries in
[00:17:00] Southeast and Central Europe with Ukraine regarding
[00:17:03] logistics, economic development, security, tourism, and
[00:17:07] reconstruction. However, it is added that this is still at the level of
[00:17:10] an idea. This proposal does not mention weapons. This
[00:17:14] visit had a precursor. In May, a high-level Ukrainian
[00:17:18] delegation arrived in Belgrade. At that time, there was
[00:17:20] a possibility that Zelensky himself would come, but that did not happen.
[00:17:24] Deputy Prime Minister Taras Kačka came, and then
[00:17:27] several memoranda were signed before this war began. There
[00:17:31] were those who
[00:17:34] believed that such Serbian foreign
[00:17:37] policy was not entirely without results, that
[00:17:41] the ways in which they operated with
[00:17:44] Beijing and with Europe, with
[00:17:48] the United States, actually brought certain results.
[00:17:51] Then the non-imposition of
[00:17:54] sanctions on Russia and the sale of
[00:17:57] ammunition to Ukraine was included, which also suited
[00:18:01] that policy that looks in all four directions, as they
[00:18:04] said, and those others who said that a policy, a foreign policy that
[00:18:08] looks in all four directions, spins in circles and actually
[00:18:12] goes nowhere, that at one point
[00:18:14] you must decide which way to go.
[00:18:18] Obviously, there was no decision on the side
[00:18:22] of this, it is obvious that it is still being
[00:18:25] played on several
[00:18:28] boards. In the continuation of the daily news,
[00:18:31] take a look.
[00:18:35] Telecom director Vladimir Lučić has been declared
[00:18:38] persona non-grata in
[00:18:39] Kosovo.
[00:18:44] Before that, about the fires in
[00:18:47] Serbia. It's the third day the
[00:18:50] Deliblato Sands are burning. More than 700
[00:18:53] hectares have been affected. Burnt are trees, low vegetation,
[00:18:57] and grass. The army has joined the firefighting efforts.
[00:19:01] The residents of Šumarak settlement have been evacuated. Entry
[00:19:04] into other surrounding settlements is allowed only for those fighting
[00:19:08] the fires.
[00:19:15] Clear sky above, they can't see from the smoke. Their houses
[00:19:19] are visible in the smoke. The police forbid them from returning
[00:19:23] to them. I just pray to God that everything goes
[00:19:26] well.
[00:19:29] Is your house close by? Here across
[00:19:31] the street.
[00:19:34] I don't know, this is terrible, this is terrible.
[00:19:37] Unfortunately,
[00:19:40] I don't know, I just pray to God that everything goes
[00:19:43] well. Did they ask you to
[00:19:47] leave?
[00:19:49] We all did. I took the children to my godmother's, never mind. Residents
[00:19:53] of Šumarak stood motionless in disbelief, watching
[00:19:56] helicopters constantly flying over their houses
[00:19:59] and the neighboring weekend settlement. Water for
[00:20:02] extinguishing the fire is brought from the nearby
[00:20:05] lake. It's hot, as it can
[00:20:08] be. Are you from around here, or? Yes, I
[00:20:12] live here, our house is here, we live
[00:20:14] here. Now I don't know,
[00:20:18] you can't talk anymore at home. I don't know.
[00:20:21] Hopefully everything will be okay, hopefully it will be extinguished,
[00:20:25] this will calm down.
[00:20:28] Then we'll see what's next. Nobody knows
[00:20:31] anything. Whatever
[00:20:34] happens, it will be as God wills it. If they manage to extinguish it, they will extinguish it, if
[00:20:38] they don't, they say they have never seen
[00:20:42] anything like this before, nor could they imagine it could
[00:20:45] happen to them. I've been here for 20 years, nothing like this has
[00:20:49] happened before. Maybe something, but not
[00:20:53] like this.
[00:20:55] No,
[00:20:57] this is terrible, third day,
[00:20:59] I don't know.
[00:21:04] The police have prohibited movement in the entire affected
[00:21:08] area, and only teams fighting the
[00:21:11] fire can enter the settlements of Čardak and Šumarak. The Ministry of Interior
[00:21:15] published footage from a helicopter over the sands, which
[00:21:19] was also flown over by the police
[00:21:21] director.
[00:21:28] The army has also been involved in defending the endangered
[00:21:31] settlements, with the help of heavy
[00:21:34] machinery. Ana Novaković, N1,
[00:21:38] Belgrade.
[00:21:41] And there are fires on Mount Žački and at Stolovi near
[00:21:45] Maglić. The flames have engulfed more than 270
[00:21:48] hectares of forest and low vegetation. The fire near Ušće
[00:21:52] in the Ibar valley, which threatened homes yesterday, has been brought
[00:21:55] under control after helicopters joined the
[00:21:58] firefighting effort last night.
[00:22:01] However, this situation yesterday and the day before yesterday could have
[00:22:04] resulted in the entire settlement of
[00:22:07] Ušće being affected. However, luckily, we had the
[00:22:11] Ušće fire department, which is the only good thing about Ušće.
[00:22:14] They managed to prevent it from reaching Ušće,
[00:22:18] which was about 400-500 meters
[00:22:22] from the first, slightly larger settlement. But the biggest
[00:22:25] job was done by the helicopter, which could get to those inaccessible parts
[00:22:29] of the terrain, because there was a large accumulation of
[00:22:32] pine waste there, and that posed a great danger. Also, along
[00:22:36] the railway line, there is tall, dry grass,
[00:22:40] which is why, according to many residents, the locomotive
[00:22:43] sparked when it passed by, igniting it. That's why
[00:22:47] the entire area from Maglić to
[00:22:50] Ušće was practically affected by these fire
[00:22:53] incidents. Nine fires are active in Serbia.
[00:22:57] The Minister of Internal Affairs, Ivica Dačić, claims that the
[00:23:00] situation is more stable than yesterday. He points out that five
[00:23:04] helicopters are engaged in extinguishing the fires, along with firefighters, rescuers,
[00:23:08] members of the army, voluntary fire brigades, and public
[00:23:11] enterprises.
[00:23:14] Fires are spreading in Serbia, and there is no sign that the water level on the
[00:23:18] Danube will stabilize, so... The emergency headquarters meets day
[00:23:21] after day. The situation is more stable
[00:23:25] today than it was yesterday. In the morning,
[00:23:28] the front line, if I can call it that, was a kilometer and
[00:23:31] a half, and after the wind and
[00:23:35] storm, which unfortunately brought no
[00:23:38] rain, it increased to almost 15
[00:23:42] km. It was recommended that the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Army
[00:23:45] engage their capacities to mitigate the consequences of the dry
[00:23:49] period, while Serbia Waters and other enterprises were ordered to put all
[00:23:52] their available capacities at the disposal of the emergency
[00:23:56] sector. Five helicopters are fighting the fires, one
[00:24:00] that was returned from Spain was immediately sent to the Deliblato Sands,
[00:24:04] states Dačić. Spain and France are asking Serbia for
[00:24:07] help.
[00:24:11] We are coping on our own. We are coping, we are dealing with
[00:24:14] the consequences. Experts claim that we are not doing enough for prevention.
[00:24:18] What we can do first
[00:24:22] is to strengthen our capacities for direct firefighting,
[00:24:24] and above all, influence
[00:24:28] fuel management,
[00:24:31] which is something that is very present in Europe now, where
[00:24:35] the focus is shifting from suppressing direct firefighting to
[00:24:39] prevention. He states that a system of surveillance cameras
[00:24:42] would greatly facilitate this, as fires would be detected in
[00:24:46] real time. For example, Croatia has a system
[00:24:50] of cameras that are networked, and there is a
[00:24:53] command center where all this information is collected, so they
[00:24:57] have information in almost real time about where the fire started.
[00:25:00] With us, that
[00:25:03] system functions by someone having to call the emergency
[00:25:07] sector to inform them. While Serbia is fighting fires,
[00:25:10] the situation on the Danube is somewhat better, but the recommendation for
[00:25:14] rational water consumption remains in force. Unnecessary
[00:25:17] water consumption should be prohibited.
[00:25:20] This refers primarily to economic entities for whom it is not
[00:25:24] necessary, in order to simply
[00:25:28] enable normal functioning. The heatwave
[00:25:30] continues, so the police minister warns that we are not
[00:25:34] at the end of the crisis. Ana Opačić, N1,

[00:25:41] And this year, the celebration of Operation Storm in
[00:25:44] Croatia also had another side. In Knin, Ustasha
[00:25:48] songs and calls for violence against
[00:25:52] Serbs were heard. All of this went under the radar of the local
[00:25:55] public. Strong condemnation only came from Member of Parliament
[00:25:59] and President of the Independent Democratic Serb Party, Milo
[00:26:02] Pupovac. The competent prosecutor's office and the Croatian government
[00:26:06] have so far had no
[00:26:08] reactions.
[00:26:10] During this storm, winds of hatred blew through Knin.
[00:26:33] And Serbia,
[00:26:37] notes calling for violence were heard in the premises
[00:26:40] of the Independent Democratic Serb Party, and it was shown
[00:26:44] which articles of the Croatian constitution were violated by such
[00:26:47] hate speech. And those who have been
[00:26:50] trying for years to smuggle this in as an act
[00:26:54] of patriotism,
[00:26:57] actually seriously
[00:27:01] undermine the true values
[00:27:04] of patriotism. Those who think this is democracy,
[00:27:07] who turn a blind
[00:27:09] eye or believe it should
[00:27:13] be tolerated,
[00:27:15] are mistaken. A member of the Croatian Parliament and chairman of the Committee for Human
[00:27:19] Rights and Rights of National Minorities, Milorad Pupovac, says that
[00:27:23] some of the people in black who sang in these videos, as he
[00:27:26] said, were absolved of responsibility for what they had
[00:27:30] done before. He also asks
[00:27:33] why the state prosecutor's office is not taking measures ex officio to suppress hate
[00:27:37] speech and incitement to violence.
[00:27:39] Many whose
[00:27:43] duty it is to protect the constitutional order of the Republic of Croatia,
[00:27:47] unfortunately,
[00:27:49] are not doing what should be
[00:27:53] done. If you ask the Croatian government, Operation Storm was marked with dignity.
[00:27:56] Its vice president and Minister of Croatian
[00:28:00] Veterans, Tomo Medved, is ready only on the official
[00:28:04] part of the program. Other
[00:28:07] activities or occurrences that took place
[00:28:10] on the margins of the official program, I cannot
[00:28:13] comment on. I can comment on what I saw, what we
[00:28:17] organized, and what we carried out. Persistent
[00:28:20] journalists asked the vice president of the Croatian government to address
[00:28:24] the hateful messages from Knin, but he didn't.
