[00:00:00] I say
[00:00:02] affects the climate, it affects the there is a really big, big need to rationally
[00:00:04] prescribe antibiotics, so tell me, and I want to
[00:00:08] ask you this, besides the fact that rational prescription of
[00:00:12] antibiotics is important, please guide us a little on the difference between
[00:00:15] probiotics and prebiotics. Until recently,
[00:00:19] we needed to take probiotics, especially if we travel, we encounter some
[00:00:23] environment that our intestinal flora is not used to. Now
[00:00:26] they say if you don't take prebiotics, then... those
[00:00:30] probiotics are actually useless.
[00:00:33] Actually, prebiotics are food for probiotics,
[00:00:36] or rather, they are food for those good bacteria, those probiotic
[00:00:39] species. So, by taking probiotics, we create
[00:00:43] good bacteria, and with prebiotics, we feed
[00:00:45] and maintain them. Is that basically
[00:00:49] it? What I want to tell you is that, for example, before, we didn't have any probiotics,
[00:00:53] you understand? Now it's a whole , shall we say,
[00:00:56] plethora of probiotics in the pharmaceutical industry.
[00:01:00] In the industry, you have the most probiotics. It seems
[00:01:04] to me, as an infectologist, we more, believe me, I don't know the order, sometimes I
[00:01:07] most often write probiotics, you understand, no, no, no I'm not saying
[00:01:10] unless I have something specific to say, "Go take this for that
[00:01:14] reason," this is good that we have so many probiotics on
[00:01:18] the market, let's say in the broadest sense of the word probiotic, whether
[00:01:21] it's prebiotics or a combination or just probiotics, it's not bad to
[00:01:25] take them for a certain period. Even today, according to nutritional
[00:01:29] recommendations, probiotics should be part of our
[00:01:32] daily diet, it's especially good to take them, for example, if
[00:01:36] we travel, if we are, for example, at risk of developing
[00:01:39] traveler's diarrhea or similar, but we must, for example, know that sauerkraut
[00:01:43] has a lot of, you know, those probiotic cultures, that
[00:01:46] kefir is something that is phenomenal, so we practically
[00:01:49] , with a balanced diet, then you see, on the other hand, they are not medicines,
[00:01:53] I mean, they are not real medicines, they are OTC, right? That means
[00:01:56] they are practically a support, they are not like that for me either.
[00:02:00] So, not everyone can afford that, you know. I
[00:02:04] say it's not bad, I say according to nutritionists, whoever can, it would
[00:02:07] be good for those probiotics to be part of our diet, probiotics or prebiotics, whatever
[00:02:11] it is, to be an integral part of our daily diet, but we also need to be
[00:02:14] aware of the food that contains a large
[00:02:18] number for centuries, right, like kefir,
[00:02:21] like sauerkraut and so on. But I will
[00:02:25] still return a little to antibiotics, because we are really
[00:02:29] fighting a big battle. As infectologists, I will tell you a very
[00:02:32] interesting fact, uh, it has been noticed for
[00:02:36] years now that children are getting sick, getting sick in large numbers from
[00:02:40] autoimmune diseases, meaning juvenile idiopathic arthritis and
[00:02:43] similar, not just with us, but globally, uh, they tried
[00:02:46] to find out the reason, so they tried to find out
[00:02:50] why it's happening like that, it was never so much before in the last year, for example, the last
[00:02:54] ten years, it's not even important now, it's really noticed that there is a huge, that there is an explosion of these
[00:02:58] diseases, which is not at all trivial, considering that these
[00:03:01] children have to receive immunosuppressive therapy for life, which
[00:03:05] practically brings that autoimmune disease under control, but it disrupts
[00:03:09] health in a broader sense of the word.
[00:03:13] I concluded at a congress in Bologna that this is most likely a consequence
[00:03:17] of a disturbed microbiome, you know , that's exactly the disrupted immunity
[00:03:21] that happens when antibiotics are taken a lot and there is a
[00:03:24] really serious imbalance of our
[00:03:28] good gut bacteria.
[00:03:30] That's very logical. Children most often suffer from these autoimmune diseases,
[00:03:34] and that's school-age. There are no rules, but
[00:03:37] sector is not up to practically it's school-age children, who are already at the earliest age given
[00:03:40] a lot of, how can I say, my dear, because every child,
[00:03:43] for example, has the right, at preschool age, to be
[00:03:47] febrile up to two times a month, yes. And you will probably
[00:03:51] agree that there are some practices to give antibiotics for an
[00:03:54] elevated temperature, which is a very, very wrong approach. So
[00:03:58] we need to be rational. 90% of these
[00:04:01] fevers, these high temperatures, are actually
[00:04:04] viruses. I think that we, as a nation and
[00:04:08] generally, are educated enough to know that antibiotics only work against
[00:04:12] bacteria. So we give antibiotics, we disrupt
[00:04:15] health, we burden the liver, we destroy those
[00:04:19] good bacteria that we need, we create a big mess. So there is
[00:04:22] no benefit. I say, God grant that we can say, "Go take
[00:04:26] antibiotics, it doesn't matter, if it helps, it helps, if it doesn't help, it doesn't matter." It
[00:04:30] matters a lot. That's what was done during Corona, doctor. Your Corona has
[00:04:33] contributed quite a bit to these
[00:04:36] resistances. Because today, unfortunately, besides that, but to me,
[00:04:40] the most important thing is this for children, you know, that really
[00:04:43] children who will have some virus every
[00:04:46] month, that we be very careful in
[00:04:49] prescribing antibiotics as parents, as pediatricians,
[00:04:53] ultimately other specialties, you know, because that child will very
[00:04:57] easily get five to six antibiotics in one year. "And then it's no
[00:05:00] wonder, you understand, if it was febrile every month, and
[00:05:04] one course of antibiotics, I won't, I mean,
[00:05:07] azithromycin, that's the generic name, I can say, it's taken for three
[00:05:11] days, it takes a year." A child takes a year for the
[00:05:14] microbiome to regenerate, just from that one three-day course.
[00:05:18] This is a very important topic, and I will just
[00:05:20] mention that not only us, unfortunately, we are not lagging behind
[00:05:24] the world at all, in the world we already have intrahospital
[00:05:27] bacteria, which is normal, because in the hospital there is a large, large
[00:05:30] concentration of pathogens that are not sensitive to any
[00:05:34] antibiotic, and all of this is a consequence of the irrational use
[00:05:37] of antibiotics. These are huge alarms, this deserves a separate topic, I will try
[00:05:41] to talk about it some other
[00:05:44] time. This time, we focused on stomach
[00:05:47] viruses, on the microbiome which is very important, but here we have opened
[00:05:51] some new ones, I will schedule a new get-together for next time. Thank you for all
[00:05:55] these very valuable tips, I believe that we will help many who are watching us this morning.
[00:05:59] Thank you for the invitation, I just hope it was useful for those who
[00:06:02] watched, I'm sure it was, thank you
[00:06:06] for being with us this morning from 8 am, stay tuned, the Sarajevo

[00:06:13] the tickets, what's up with the box offices, are they already full and
[00:06:16] how many people will visit Sarajevo these days
[00:06:20] precisely because of the Sarajevo Film Festival. We will talk about all this soon with our
[00:06:23] Feđa, stay with
[00:06:24] us.

[00:07:41] Good day, dear viewers. Today, many collagen
[00:07:45] products are sold, it's impossible for them all to be equally
[00:07:49] high quality and have the same good effect. What are the differences
[00:07:52] between them and how to choose a collagen that really has
[00:07:56] an effect? What do you say, Aida, as someone who
[00:08:00] has been in this profession for years? Yes, first it's important to check what source of collagen
[00:08:03] the product we bought contains. Each source is
[00:08:06] intended for something. For example, bovine collagen is excellent for
[00:08:10] muscle building, strengthening bones, good... for the intestines. Chicken
[00:08:14] collagen, for example, is useful for cartilage regeneration of joints and
[00:08:17] has anti-inflammatory effects. Everyone knows fish collagen,
[00:08:21] excellent for skin, hair and blood vessels, and collagen from
[00:08:25] eggshell is good for all connective tissues. This Slovenian
[00:08:28] collagen from Doctor Majić has the advantage of containing all
[00:08:32] four sources, isn't that right, Aida? That's right, this is
[00:08:35] the only collagen on the market with four sources of collagen in three
[00:08:39] different types, in hydrolyzed
[00:08:42] form, which our body can best utilize.
[00:08:46] The composition is additionally enriched, meaning it contains hyaluronic acid,
[00:08:50] quercetin, vitamin C, mumijo silicon, all from
[00:08:53] natural sources. Clinical studies were conducted on this collagen in Slovenia, what
[00:08:57] did the results show? For skin, hydration, elasticity,
[00:09:00] firmness of the skin
[00:09:04] increased and it has an anti-aging effect, meaning
[00:09:07] it reduces wrinkles, the visibility of dark circles, redness and
[00:09:11] acne. Related to hair, it reduces its
[00:09:13] breakage and hair loss. And as for
[00:09:17] joints, it has been proven to increase flexibility,
[00:09:21] reduce morning stiffness, and joint swelling, thus contributing
[00:09:24] to easier movement. To whom do you recommend collagen for
[00:09:27] use? I would say absolutely everyone who moves with difficulty, if
[00:09:31] you have any inflammation, pain in bones, joints,
[00:09:34] muscles, of course for rheumatism, arthritis, damaged
[00:09:37] cartilage, also for poor circulation, varicose veins
[00:09:41] on... Of course for problems with cracked skin, age wrinkles,
[00:09:45] allergies
[00:09:48] or if your hair is falling out. Incredible results, this is collagen that is
[00:09:51] clinically proven to work, the formulation is doctoral,
[00:09:55] produced in Slovenia in controlled production,

[00:11:06] We return to the show, New Day, sponsored by the General
[00:11:10] Hospital Medikana Sarajevo.
[00:11:23] Ticket sales for the 32nd edition of the
[00:11:27] Sarajevo Film Festival officially begin today at the box office in BKC. What
[00:11:31] is the public's interest already on the first day and which films are visitors most
[00:11:34] looking for? Let's check with our reporter Feđa
[00:11:38] Kulin. Feđa, can you already feel the festival fever?
[00:11:42] Are there people who rushed to be the first to buy their
[00:11:46] tickets for the Sarajevo Film
[00:11:47] Festival?
[00:11:50] There certainly are, Minela. There are big crowds
[00:11:53] outside and inside the BKC. Many people
[00:11:57] came early to buy tickets for
[00:12:00] their desired films. Some even came at 4
[00:12:04] in the morning, believe it or not, and they are standing
[00:12:07] or sitting there the whole time. They brought folding
[00:12:10] chairs, some here to make the waiting easier.
[00:12:13] Truly numerous film lovers
[00:12:17] are here. They say they don't mind waiting,
[00:12:21] even though online ticket sales started
[00:12:25] at the beginning of last week. They say this
[00:12:28] physical sale, physical way of buying
[00:12:32] is safer, that it's already a tradition here, socializing
[00:12:36] and waiting in line. With us this morning is Andrijana
[00:12:39] Kopf, spokesperson for the Sarajevo Film
[00:12:42] Festival, who will tell us more about the festival. First of
[00:12:46] all, good morning and thank you for speaking to N1. So,
[00:12:49] what do these crowds tell us this morning about the Sarajevo Film
[00:12:53] Festival? Is there great interest?
[00:12:57] Good morning, thank you for coming here to the Main Box Office at
[00:13:00] the Bosnian Cultural Center, which opened just now at
[00:13:04] 10 o'clock. What do they tell us? They
[00:13:07] tell us about the great interest of the audience
[00:13:10] in the programs and films of the 32nd Sarajevo Film
[00:13:14] Festival, which begins on Friday and will run
[00:13:18] until August 21st. They tell
[00:13:21] us that we also have our regular audience. We saw here in...
[00:13:25] In line this morning from early morning hours
[00:13:28] some buyers who are already traditionally with us among
[00:13:31] the first 10 buyers whom we reward with 10
[00:13:34] free tickets each and a poster for
[00:13:37] this year's festival. It simply
[00:13:40] speaks to the fact that people, the audience, citizens, and
[00:13:44] tourists embrace this festival as their own, that
[00:13:48] they see it as their own, that they live along with the city and the festival.
[00:13:52] That is what makes us extremely happy.
[00:13:55] For which we owe enormous gratitude to our
[00:13:57] audience. As I said, online
[00:14:01] ticket sales began last week.
[00:14:05] Some said they had some minor difficulties with online
[00:14:08] purchases. Many still come here to buy
[00:14:11] in person. How many tickets have been sold so far, do
[00:14:15] you have any data? Is there great
[00:14:18] interest? There is great, very great
[00:14:22] interest in this year's program.
[00:14:25] We have resolved the difficulties, that was
[00:14:29] probably, you are talking about the first day of advance
[00:14:32] ticket sales, when a large number of
[00:14:34] users who wanted to buy immediately, probably for
[00:14:38] a specific screening, online
[00:14:41] sales are still ongoing, of course, and will continue until the end
[00:14:45] of the festival, as well as the physical sale
[00:14:47] of tickets. For online ticket sales,
[00:14:51] certain discounts are available thanks to partners from...
[00:14:55] sponsors of the Sarajevo Film Festival, so for Mastercard
[00:14:58] cardholders there is a 20% discount,
[00:15:01] an additional 10% discount thanks to Unicredit
[00:15:05] Bank. The interest is huge,
[00:15:08] last year we had record ticket sales, and
[00:15:11] this year, precisely according to the first day of online
[00:15:14] pre-sales that you mentioned, sales are
[00:15:18] 20% higher than the previous year, so
[00:15:21] the interest is huge. We try to
[00:15:25] accommodate our audience as much as possible, whether it's
[00:15:29] additional screenings, here the locations are
[00:15:33] from the Old Town to
[00:15:35] Ilidža,
[00:15:37] 23 locations, numerous locations, all programs
[00:15:41] are in the festival journal, we invite the audience to
[00:15:45] check the screening schedule, to see where all these films
[00:15:48] are shown, if they are not on the date or at
[00:15:52] the location where they really want to watch them, to find
[00:15:56] that film and watch it at another location, which they may not have
[00:16:00] been to before, but will discover now in another time slot, so
[00:16:03] we invite everyone who may not have...
[00:16:07] obtained their tickets to follow the website and social media
[00:16:11] of the Sarajevo Film Festival, where we will regularly update
[00:16:14] all additional screenings, additional
[00:16:17] times, and any information about the screening
[00:16:20] schedule. Which screenings,
[00:16:23] or rather, which films are most sought after this
[00:16:27] year, and what is the specificity
[00:16:30] of this year's edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival? Well,
[00:16:34] the specificity, the specificity of every Sarajevo
[00:16:37] festival is a quality program above all.
[00:16:41] What I can emphasize this year is
[00:16:44] that on August 13th, the day before the ceremonial opening
[00:16:48] of the festival, at the Coca-Cola Open-Air Cinema, we are showing
[00:16:52] a classic of Bosnian-Herzegovinian cinematography with free
[00:16:55] admission. That is Woman in a Landscape by Ivica
[00:16:58] Matić, on August 13th at 8:30 PM.
[00:17:01] Free tickets can be picked up online or here at
[00:17:05] the Main Box Office. We are opening the festival
[00:17:09] with Pawel Pawlikowski's film "Cold War," his latest film which won
[00:17:13] the award for best director at this year's Cannes
[00:17:16] Film Festival. I believe that the festival audience is well
[00:17:19] acquainted with Pawlikowski's work. We opened the Sarajevo Film Festival
[00:17:22] with his film "Cold War" in 2018.
[00:17:25] I can mention, emphasize in fact, that
[00:17:28] the 32nd Sarajevo Film Festival will be
[00:17:32] closed with a digitized version
[00:17:35] of Danis Tanović's "No Man's Land," an Oscar
[00:17:39] winner. So, also a restored version that is
[00:17:43] being shown for the first time in Sarajevo,
[00:17:46] to the festival audience. A film
[00:17:49] that marked a new page
[00:17:53] in Bosnian-Herzegovinian cinematography, which for
[00:17:55] BiH film, I don't need to tell you its
[00:17:59] significance. Danis Tanović will, of course, be with the film
[00:18:01] crew at that screening at the festival.
[00:18:05] An opportunity for those of us who have seen that film to watch it
[00:18:09] together on the big screen, an opportunity for new
[00:18:13] generations to also
[00:18:16] see it perhaps together in a different
[00:18:19] environment, in a different way, and an opportunity to be reminded
[00:18:23] how important the theme of that film is and how strong
[00:18:26] and current it still is.
[00:18:30] Thank you very much for the interview, we won't keep you any longer, you're busy,
[00:18:34] it's crowded, thank you. So,
[00:18:37] you've heard what awaits us this year at the 32nd
[00:18:41] Sarajevo Film Festival, which will be held from August
[00:18:45] 14th to 21st. Numerous
[00:18:48] film achievements, as you could hear and
[00:18:51] see, the interest is
[00:18:53] enormous, and there's no doubt that Sarajevo will become the center
[00:18:56] of the region in the coming days, as well as the film
[00:19:00] capital in this part of
[00:19:02] Europe. Sarajevo Film Festival, Feđa,
[00:19:06] thank you very much for... this first report before the
[00:19:10] very opening of the Sarajevo Film Festival, which will follow at the end
[00:19:13] of the week. We are all looking forward to it, we love Sarajevo
[00:19:17] as it is those few days, we love it
[00:19:20] on other days too, but especially during the Sarajevo Film Festival, and
[00:19:23] when we have the opportunity to show ourselves as good hosts and
[00:19:27] as a place of good films, stay with us,
[00:19:31] next we're talking about something that might slightly
[00:19:34] disrupt this good hospitality, but we can't
[00:19:37] influence that, those are climate changes and extreme heat.
[00:19:50] These extreme heat and climate changes have once again highlighted
[00:19:54] the importance of green spaces in cities, and experts warn that trees are one
[00:19:58] of the best ways to mitigate the effects of high
[00:20:00] temperatures. In recent days, the felling of dozens of trees in Sarajevo
[00:20:04] has also attracted public attention, raising the question of whether
[00:20:07] anyone manages Sarajevo's greenery
[00:20:11] systematically.
[00:20:13] Another day under high temperatures. Sunny streets
[00:20:17] are almost empty, and those who have to leave the house look for
[00:20:20] the shortest path to shade. On such days, it is best to see
[00:20:24] how much parks and trees mean to a city. These are the greatest ecological
[00:20:28] values, after all, and human values and natural
[00:20:31] values. We must all commit to protecting
[00:20:35] nature and the resources that nature provides. If we don't
[00:20:38] protect it, no one will, so nature is very important to us,
[00:20:42] and then there will be less
[00:20:44] heat, it will be cooler. Besides
[00:20:48] providing shade, trees provide shade and the space around them, which is why the difference
[00:20:52] in temperature between a part of the street without greenery and the space
[00:20:55] under a canopy or in a park is often drastic. Our
[00:20:59] thermometer shows temperatures from -20 to
[00:21:02] +50. Let's see what the temperature is
[00:21:06] here in the shade on the concrete:
[00:21:09] 38 degrees
[00:21:12] Celsius. Let's see how much it is here on this
[00:21:15] leaf that is in the sun:
[00:21:19] the temperature is 36.9
[00:21:23] degrees. And now let's see here
[00:21:26] in the sun:
[00:21:30] the temperature is over 50 degrees
[00:21:33] Celsius. In one room, for example, we have different
[00:21:37] temperatures from one corner to another if you take a slightly more sensitive
[00:21:41] thermometer. In the city, there are of course big
[00:21:44] differences, especially, for example, if we enter
[00:21:48] an area where there is just concrete, asphalt,
[00:21:51] glass, there the temperatures are significantly higher, for example,
[00:21:55] compared to a nearby park, there we already
[00:21:57] feel some difference. That is precisely why experts
[00:22:01] warn that green areas are one of the best ways
[00:22:04] for cities to better cope with increasingly frequent heat
[00:22:07] waves. Citizens unfortunately notice that there are fewer and fewer of them.
[00:22:11] They are building illegally , extremely
[00:22:14] large business objects, projects. There are fewer
[00:22:18] trees as well. In recent days... Citizens witnessed the massive
[00:22:22] felling of old trees in Sarajevo, allegedly as a
[00:22:24] precaution because they posed a potential
[00:22:27] danger.
[00:22:31] I heard they are cutting down trees in Sarajevo, which I think is
[00:22:34] the stupidest thing to do. If you look at, for example,
[00:22:37] Trebinje, they build new buildings, but they don't cut down trees. If
[00:22:41] there is a tree there, they build around it, they save every
[00:22:45] tree.
[00:22:48] For example, in front of my building there were two or three plane trees, nicely, then
[00:22:51] they cut them down, saying they would fall on a car, they could have protected
[00:22:55] it, tied it with cables or something. Every tree takes 60
[00:22:59] years to grow, and they cut it down in an hour and
[00:23:03] destroy it. This is probably old, since I grew up here, I know
[00:23:06] very well how old it is. These poplars were, I think they were poplars, the rest
[00:23:10] needs to be considered for each individual case, what should be done and what
[00:23:14] should not be done. That is precisely the biggest problem, the profession is often
[00:23:18] not consulted. Before a large tree is removed,
[00:23:22] it really should be evaluated from a professional,
[00:23:25] scientific, methodological approach
[00:23:28] what its condition is, whether it threatens the safety,
[00:23:32] health of citizens or the safety of their
[00:23:34] property. Of course, such trees should be replaced with an appropriate
[00:23:38] species, an appropriate age of tree that can
[00:23:42] , shall we say, adapt to these extreme conditions.
[00:23:46] However, many recently planted young trees in
[00:23:49] Sarajevo did not manage to survive even the first summer
[00:23:52] heat, again for the same reason, that communication
[00:23:55] often fails between those
[00:23:58] who undertake such activities and us as certified
[00:24:02] scientific research institutions. In that sense, before any
[00:24:06] planting activities, it would be necessary to consult the profession.
[00:24:09] The profession recommends that
[00:24:12] resistant species be used,
[00:24:15] that proven species be used. Increasingly hot summers show that greenery is not
[00:24:18] just an ornament of the city. Therefore, the removal and planting of trees
[00:24:22] must be approached systematically, because the consequences of bad decisions
[00:24:26] are often long-term. Feđa Kulina,

[00:24:32] We continue to talk about heat, about the extremes that
[00:24:36] are happening to us, about
[00:24:38] drought, which is no longer just an ecological problem, but is becoming
[00:24:42] question of energy security. Due to the
[00:24:45] record low water level of the Danube, Hungary,
[00:24:48] let's remember, has almost completely stopped the operation of its largest nuclear
[00:24:52] power plant, and reduced production has been recorded in the Krško
[00:24:55] power plant in Slovenia. When there is not enough water to cool
[00:24:59] the reactors, power plants must reduce production or completely
[00:25:02] shut down, and this then raises a question that perhaps seemed unimaginable
[00:25:05] until yesterday: can climate change threaten
[00:25:09] the stability of electricity supply in Europe, and what does this mean for
[00:25:13] Bosnia and Herzegovina, which relies on hydropower plants and
[00:25:16] thermal power plants? Are we ready for a future in which droughts and heat waves
[00:25:20] and water shortages will directly affect electricity production and its
[00:25:23] price? We will discuss this with an energy expert, Mr. Edhem
[00:25:27] Bičakčić, this morning. Good morning and welcome to a new day. Good morning to you
[00:25:30] and the viewers of N1. Mr.
[00:25:33] Bičakčić, what kind of time are we witnessing, where
[00:25:37] climate change, literally, here, following what we see in
[00:25:40] Hungary, in Slovenia, and for a long time also in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
[00:25:44] dictates whether tomorrow we will have enough energy for our own needs
[00:25:47] or not, uh? Climate
[00:25:51] change causes a series of
[00:25:55] disturbances, they are a product of
[00:25:58] greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 emissions
[00:26:01] in the atmosphere. Believe me, this
[00:26:04] melting of glaciers in the Arctic,
[00:26:08] long-term dry periods, the spread of
[00:26:12] fires, and, uh, floods,
[00:26:14] on the other hand, heavy rainfall in a short
[00:26:18] period, these cycles alternate and are becoming
[00:26:22] more intense. In Europe,
[00:26:25] this is already very drastically felt, and
[00:26:28] Bosnia and Herzegovina is a somewhat less
[00:26:31] affected area so far, but it is
[00:26:35] coming to its turn and already here we are recording
[00:26:38] a greater spread of forest fires to areas where
[00:26:42] this has not been the case until now, and outside
[00:26:45] of, say, Herzegovina, where people have always fought with this,
[00:26:49] and then sometimes with floods.
[00:26:52] Bosnia and Herzegovina cannot escape this. Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:26:56] participates very little in the emission of greenhouse gases, in world
[00:26:59] terms it is measured in permilles.
[00:27:02] mhm, meaning a thousandth part, in
[00:27:05] European terms in percentages, one to
[00:27:08] 2%, but regardless, our production
[00:27:11] structure, especially in energy, is based on coal-fired
[00:27:15] thermal power plants, and these are major polluters, that is,
[00:27:19] they cause, uh,
[00:27:21] they cause, uh, an increase in CO2
[00:27:25] emissions. Yes, we are
[00:27:28] signatories of the energy community and
[00:27:31] thus with Europe. Since 2006, we have committed
[00:27:35] to follow all those European
[00:27:38] energy policies. We did commit,
[00:27:41] but we are not following them and we have not entered
[00:27:45] the transition that is necessary to
[00:27:48] overcome this, so the cuts will be
[00:27:52] drastic for us, these situations show
[00:27:55] that. Now, we will talk about those drastic cuts and specifically Bosnia and Herzegovina,
[00:27:58] I would like us to briefly focus on these nuclear reactors
[00:28:02] and power plants that are shutting down in Hungary due to lack of water.
[00:28:06] Krško is also threatened, as I said, in Slovenia. Now,
[00:28:09] how much can such situations affect
[00:28:12] the price of electricity in the region? We are speaking very
[00:28:16] concretely that Hungary is currently facing shortages, that it is implementing
[00:28:20] reductions at all levels, but looking at the trend in the
[00:28:23] future, how can what we are currently experiencing affect the
[00:28:26] region? - For example,
[00:28:30] the shutdown of a nuclear power plant in... Hungary drastically
[00:28:33] affects the region of Southeast Europe because it is
[00:28:36] a large capacity, and the extremely low level of the Danube is
[00:28:40] a phenomenon that may be recorded for the first
[00:28:44] time seriously now. You are witnesses that you can
[00:28:47] cross the Danube in some places,
[00:28:50] I saw in one video that a car can
[00:28:54] pass across the Danube, which is unprecedented, which is
[00:28:57] unprecedented. In such circumstances, there is not enough water for
[00:29:00] cooling the reactor. Even though there is not enough water, the reactor
[00:29:04] must either be reduced, and then shut down, not only in
[00:29:07] Hungary, but there are problems with the nuclear power plant in
[00:29:11] Romania. Here, the first problems
[00:29:13] are noticeable with the nuclear power plant Krško on the Sava, mh
[00:29:17] and it has reduced production, but
[00:29:20] the possibility of complete shutdown is
[00:29:23] largely being considered, which then leads, for example,
[00:29:26] Slovenia to a drastic level of electricity
[00:29:29] needs, then Croatia, then the entire region. And
[00:29:33] yet, in these current circumstances in Bosnia and
[00:29:36] Herzegovina, the public
[00:29:40] the task that is somehow
[00:29:43] expected of it. What do we rely on? How much electricity
[00:29:47] comes from thermal power plants, how much from hydropower plants, how much from
[00:29:50] wind farms? What is available to us currently in
[00:29:53] Bosnia and Herzegovina? So, Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:29:57] had, uh, before the war, 4,000 MW of electricity
[00:30:00] capacity for electricity. Of that, 2000 MW in
[00:30:04] hydro, 2000 MW in thermal, but the production in
[00:30:08] thermal power plants was 60 to
[00:30:11] 70%, because they operate for a greater number of hours
[00:30:14] than hydropower plants, mhm, depending on the hydrological
[00:30:18] year, what it's like, what the rainfall is like,
[00:30:21] uh, so that went up to 70% from
[00:30:24] thermal power plants, in good hydrologies 50 somewhat
[00:30:27] lower, mhm, after the war. The private
[00:30:31] sector built 1600 MW
[00:30:34] of new capacities, 300 MW of thermal power plants in
[00:30:38] Stanari, then over 900
[00:30:41] MW of solar power plants on the transmission and
[00:30:44] distribution network, about
[00:30:47] 300 MW of wind power plants and
[00:30:50] 100 MW of small hydropower plants, so most
[00:30:53] of the solar plants are 900 MW, most of them, well, privately
[00:30:57] owned.
