[00:00:12] the eclipse is partial in Herzegovina, in Sarajevo it started a few
[00:00:16] minutes ago, and it will reach its maximum at
[00:00:19] 19:52.
[00:00:22] Astronomers warn that the sun during an eclipse should not
[00:00:25] be looked at directly without appropriate eye
[00:00:28] protection, ordinary glasses are not enough, and for direct
[00:00:32] observation it is necessary to use specially certified glasses
[00:00:36] or filters intended for observing
[00:00:39] the sun.
[00:00:44] In addition to the solar eclipse, one of the most anticipated
[00:00:47] astronomical events of the summer,
[00:00:51] the Perseid meteor shower, reaches its peak
[00:00:55] tonight, between August 12 and 13,
[00:00:58] and this year... particularly favorable conditions are
[00:01:02] expected for observation in the Northern Hemisphere,
[00:01:05] most meteors will be visible in the second half of the night,
[00:01:09] and right up until dawn. The New Moon will not obstruct the view, and
[00:01:13] no telescopes or binoculars are needed for observation.
[00:01:16] Fans of these natural phenomena are advised to observe the Perseids
[00:01:19] far from city lights in nature, in the mountains. The Perseids are one
[00:01:22] of the most famous
[00:01:26] meteor showers, in addition to the Perseids, Saturn will be visible to the naked eye,
[00:01:30] which will be high in the sky, Mars, which will be recognized by
[00:01:33] its reddish color, and Mercury and Jupiter, which will appear very
[00:01:37] low on the eastern horizon just before
[00:01:41] flowering.
[00:07:57] tomorrow.
[00:08:00] By the end of the week, we expect mostly sunny, very warm weather,
[00:08:04] temperatures up to 39 degrees in the south, and from Sunday
[00:08:07] an additional increase in temperature in most parts of the country, locally up to
[00:08:11] 40 degrees is expected. The weather will be stable with no significant
[00:08:15] precipitation, there will be plenty of sunshine, occasionally with small to
[00:08:18] moderate cloudiness, wind weak to moderate, predominantly northern
[00:08:22] and northeastern. On Thursday, the weather will be mostly sunny,
[00:08:26] weak daytime cloud development is expected, the wind will be
[00:08:29] weak. Morning temperatures from 15 to
[00:08:32] 21 degrees, slightly warmer in the south and a maximum above
[00:08:36] 25, while the daily temperature will be from
[00:08:39] 27 to 33 degrees, even warmer in the south. It
[00:08:42] will be up to 39 degrees. On Friday and Saturday,
[00:08:46] it remains sunny, very warm, temperatures mostly up to 34
[00:08:50] in Bosnia and slightly warmer up to 38 in
[00:08:53] Herzegovina, nights will also be warm, maximum
[00:08:56] temperatures will increase further from Sunday. Meteorological and hydrological
[00:09:00] warnings remain in force in the coming
[00:09:02] days.
[00:09:07] You've been watching N1 daily, more news
[00:09:48] Good evening, you are watching N1 daily news, I am Maja Žeželj, this
[00:09:51] is the news
[00:09:52] of the day.
[00:09:55] Nenad Rašković, who claims that he was beaten by
[00:09:59] members of the Kosovo Police, was transferred to the
[00:10:02] emergency center in Belgrade. The Police
[00:10:05] Inspectorate of Kosovo claims that it has launched an investigation
[00:10:09] into the case.
[00:10:13] And in tonight's news, these
[00:10:14] topics.
[00:10:19] A man who stole Stevan Filipović's phone was
[00:10:22] arrested. The director and his lawyer wonder
[00:10:26] what about the others who beat him and who can be seen in
[00:10:30] the video from the security cameras.
[00:10:33] they had that footage the same day from
[00:10:37] those cameras and the prosecutor's office, I don't know why they were not arrested the same
[00:10:41] day.
[00:10:43] The fire is still raging on the tables, there are no
[00:10:47] threatened people or houses in Deliblatska Peščara.
[00:10:51] The fire has not yet been fully localized, but the residents of
[00:10:54] Šumarka... were allowed to return to their homes, others
[00:10:57] are still prohibited from accessing the affected
[00:11:00] area.
[00:11:38] light precipitation possible sometimes in the south and
[00:11:41] east, temperature from 29 to
[00:11:44] 34
[00:11:45] degrees.
[00:11:50] Another incident in northern Kosovo, Nenad
[00:11:54] Rašković from Zubin Potok claims that Kosovo
[00:11:57] police officers beat him and forced him to confess
[00:12:00] a war crime. Srpska Lista
[00:12:03] states that in the previous two weeks there have been more
[00:12:07] similar cases. Rašković was transferred due to his injuries
[00:12:10] from Kosovska Mitrovica to Belgrade
[00:12:14] to the emergency center. The Police Inspectorate of Kosovo
[00:12:17] announces that it has launched an investigation into the
[00:12:20] case.
[00:12:22] According to Nenad Rašković's testimony. Three members of the so-called
[00:12:26] Kosovo police raided his family home yesterday in
[00:12:30] the village of Dren near Zubin Potok, where are
[00:12:33] your weapons?
[00:12:35] I don't have a weapon, he grabbed me, took, took
[00:12:39] a piece of wood, grabbed me and dragged me into the house
[00:12:42] and then punched me in the stomach, and hit me with a stick
[00:12:46] on the head, on the back,
[00:12:49] and threw me out of the house. Rašković says he was taken to a nearby
[00:12:53] forest and tied to a tree. He claims that police officers beat
[00:12:57] him with a water hose, demanding that he confess to committing
[00:13:00] war crimes against Albanians. After the
[00:13:03] abuse, he was left tied to the tree. Friends freed
[00:13:06] him and took him to a hospital in Kosovska
[00:13:09] Mitrovica. The patient was admitted to our institution
[00:13:12] due to injuries sustained in
[00:13:14] a physical attack by the Kosovo police. These
[00:13:18] are serious injuries. Now the further clinical picture depends on
[00:13:22] the diagnostics, on the patient's condition. Due to his serious
[00:13:26] health condition, Rašković was transferred to the emergency center in
[00:13:30] Belgrade. Srpska lista, which informed the public about this
[00:13:33] case, says it is not an isolated incident. In the previous
[00:13:37] 15 days, several Serbs have been beaten in Kosovo and
[00:13:40] Metohija. What is particularly painful is
[00:13:43] that no one has been held accountable for it, for the simple reason that
[00:13:47] people are afraid. From this place, I call upon all who experience such things, and who have experienced
[00:13:50] them, to speak up. Let them say what they did to them. The fact
[00:13:54] that... a supposed crime happened somewhere
[00:13:58] does not give anyone the right to
[00:14:01] torture and abuse innocent, honest
[00:14:04] people living in villages in Zubin Potok or anywhere
[00:14:08] else. Regarding Nenad Rašković's allegations, the Police Inspectorate
[00:14:12] of Kosovo is conducting an investigation. The Police Inspectorate of Kosovo has
[00:14:15] initiated this preliminary investigation with the aim of verifying
[00:14:19] the claims and clarifying all relevant facts and
[00:14:22] circumstances related to this case. that is, police
[00:14:25] actions during the police operation carried out in Dren
[00:14:29] and Zubin Potok. Without prejudging the outcome of the investigation,
[00:14:32] the purpose of this phase is to collect and evaluate all
[00:14:35] available information and evidence in accordance with
[00:14:39] the legal mandate of the Inspectorate.
[00:14:41] The Inspectorate took a statement from Rašković at the hospital, and
[00:14:45] the medical documentation is also expected to be obtained, confirmed
[00:14:48] for the Kossev portal, the Deputy Commander of the Kosovo
[00:14:52] Police for the North Region Veton Elshani.
[00:14:55] Miloš Zekić, N1,
[00:14:57] Belgrade.
[00:15:00] Seven days after the attack on director and FDU professor
[00:15:03] Stevan Filipović, the police arrested the person
[00:15:06] who snatched Filipović's phone and then smashed it
[00:15:10] on the asphalt. And all this happens the day after
[00:15:13] Cins published a video from surveillance cameras
[00:15:17] showing all the details of the attack. The suspect
[00:15:20] did not deny that he participated in the event, and the police claim
[00:15:24] that they are looking for two more suspects.
[00:15:28] Filipović and his lawyer wonder what would have happened
[00:15:31] if the video had not appeared.
[00:15:35] This one
[00:15:38] stole my phone and attacked me, and this
[00:15:41] one here took a chair from here and hit me, tried to kill me,
[00:15:45] practically, I mean, they all tried. The man who snatched the phone and then
[00:15:49] smashed it on the asphalt was arrested during the day. As stated,
[00:15:53] suspect LD was charged with the criminal offense of violent
[00:15:56] behavior and he was interrogated at the prosecutor's office. Given
[00:16:00] that the suspect presented a defense, that he did not deny that he
[00:16:03] participated in the event in the manner in which he is charged, that he was not previously
[00:16:07] convicted and that he has a properly registered place of residence, the prosecutor's office
[00:16:11] did not propose detention, but rather in the further course of the proceedings the suspect
[00:16:14] will defend himself at liberty.
[00:16:18] They state that two more suspects are being sought who
[00:16:21] inflicted several blows on Stevan Filipović and caused him injuries.
[00:16:25] These police actions are happening seven days after the attack on
[00:16:29] Filipović, after the footage from the surveillance camera that Cins
[00:16:32] published came to public attention. I don't know where the footage
[00:16:36] could have come from. except from the police and prosecutor's office, so I would like
[00:16:40] to thank whoever anonymously sent it from there,
[00:16:44] obviously there are some upheavals there as well, some people who maybe
[00:16:47] want it to be resolved, they had that footage the same
[00:16:50] day from those cameras and the prosecutor's office, I don't know
[00:16:54] why they were not arrested the same day. The incident occurred after
[00:16:58] the director and professor at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts photographed
[00:17:02] men spray-painting a protected building, suffering injuries and
[00:17:06] a concussion. I saw, in
[00:17:08] fact, first that it was much more extreme than
[00:17:12] even what I remember. The phone was later located in a police station,
[00:17:16] then changed locations, and finally arrived in Kosovo near
[00:17:19] Uroševac. This shows Filipović that there are connections
[00:17:23] between crime, organized crime in Kosovo and
[00:17:26] central Serbia. Stevan Filipović assumes who
[00:17:30] is behind the attackers. The fact that they gather
[00:17:33] in the courtyard, well, here, in the courtyard of the Stari
[00:17:37] Grad municipality. "in my opinion, it is very indicative, therefore
[00:17:41] that it is a direct link between the regime and those people
[00:17:45] who committed it, I mean, they were ultimately pasting
[00:17:49] party slogans, writing and pasting SNS
[00:17:52] stickers, experience teaches us that we cannot expect
[00:17:55] much, but on the other hand,
[00:17:58] there is a legal obligation for them to discover the perpetrators of this
[00:18:01] criminal act as soon as possible
[00:18:04] and prosecute them." "These examples
[00:18:08] speak of the complete impunity of people who will attack all those
[00:18:12] who are not with the SNS, that the
[00:18:15] system has managed to ensure impunity for
[00:18:18] thugs, so that anyone can be a
[00:18:20] victim. With the apprehension of one suspect seven days
[00:18:24] later, the question arises whether the investigation will be carried out to
[00:18:27] the end, and the perpetrators punished proportionally for the
[00:18:31] act they are suspected of." Ana Obačić, N1,
[00:18:34] Belgrade. And next up in
[00:18:38] the news.
[00:18:41] What did the address of a citizen of Nova Varoš
[00:18:45] to the President of Serbia reveal? Will the prosecution
[00:18:48] react?
[00:18:53] Before that, about the fires in
[00:18:55] Serbia. It's burning in slightly fewer
[00:18:59] locations, but a serious fight is still ongoing, primarily
[00:19:03] on Stolovi mountain near Čačak. The fire has affected about 200
[00:19:06] hectares, according to available information, there are no threatened
[00:19:09] buildings, households, or infrastructure. The Minister of Police
[00:19:12] announces the deployment of another helicopter to
[00:19:16] Stolovi, reports Nenad Božević.
[00:19:19] Božević.
[00:19:22] The fire on Stolovi mountain above Kraljevo is one of
[00:19:25] several active fires at the moment. Over an area of about
[00:19:28] 200 hectares. At this moment, a fire has appeared
[00:19:31] in several locations and it
[00:19:34] can only be extinguished from the air, and now at
[00:19:38] this moment, a police helicopter is flying
[00:19:41] over us, although a military helicopter is also involved, carrying a bucket
[00:19:45] of water and pouring it right on
[00:19:49] this section here, this is the place Šošanica,
[00:19:52] here low vegetation and mixed forest
[00:19:56] are burning, there are deciduous and pine trees, and people cannot
[00:19:59] approach here, it can only be extinguished from the
[00:20:02] air and this is one of the flights that happens
[00:20:06] perhaps every twenty minutes, water
[00:20:09] is taken at the foot of Stolovi and then
[00:20:12] poured here, otherwise this fire
[00:20:15] spread during the night, because here
[00:20:19] the wind causes great problems, so firefighters at this
[00:20:22] moment do not know what awaits them the very
[00:20:26] next day, or rather, they do not know what awaits them in the next hours
[00:20:29] and that is why they are non-stop here on Stolovi and
[00:20:32] trying to stop this fire, we are absolutely trying first of all to
[00:20:36] extinguish... "to make our job easier, so I say, conditionally speaking, with machinery,
[00:20:40] fire trucks, we are laying a so-called fire line with
[00:20:44] those hoses, which help us get as close as possible to
[00:20:48] the fire site itself and to do as little as possible of what we call
[00:20:51] 'back work', meaning to do as little as possible with backpack pumps, because the terrain demands
[00:20:55] an enormous amount of energy, and when you add 20, 25 liters of water
[00:20:58] to your back, it is extremely difficult to extinguish and to go up and down
[00:21:02] on this terrain. There is a danger that
[00:21:05] the pine forest will catch fire, for now it is still protected,
[00:21:08] so now what you see behind me, that is a mixed forest, meaning the very crown of the fire
[00:21:12] at the top of the hill is coniferous forest, uh, it is good that it is
[00:21:16] what I would call a ground fire, meaning low
[00:21:20] vegetation, dry grass, which at the same time makes it difficult to spread to the so-called
[00:21:23] juniper, the so-called pine root, but it is not
[00:21:27] impossible, meaning we have cases in some locations where
[00:21:31] pine forest is burning, where conifers are burning, the most important thing at this
[00:21:34] moment is that there are no endangered houses, although there are not many
[00:21:37] in this area, because this is one of the uninhabited
[00:21:41] areas, only a few houses where people live,
[00:21:44] but firefighters have made sure that they are
[00:21:48] protected. The weather forecast is favorable
[00:21:52] because it is predicted that this dry weather
[00:21:55] will last at least another seven days and if it rains, it will be
[00:21:59] short-lived, not enough to extinguish this fire. What
[00:22:03] at this moment could pose a danger is that the wind could carry sparks
[00:22:07] to the pine forests at the very top of
[00:22:10] the tables, then big problems could arise, because when conifers
[00:22:14] burn, they are much slower to extinguish.
[00:22:18] Nenad Božević, N1 Stolovi
[00:22:21] Kraljevo.
[00:22:23] In Deliblatska Peščara, according to the latest estimates, about
[00:22:27] 700 hectares of forest have burned. The fire is still not completely
[00:22:30] localized, but the Ministry of Interior says that the fire is under
[00:22:34] control. Above part of the sand dunes, thick
[00:22:38] black smoke is still visible, and the police did not allow media
[00:22:41] teams to approach the village of Šumarak today either, stopping them
[00:22:45] already at the exit of the village of Gaj. However,
[00:22:49] residents who were evacuated from Šumarak
[00:22:52] were allowed to return to their homes, among
[00:22:55] them journalist Slobodan Dukić. He says that the
[00:22:58] consequences are even visible in the settlement.
[00:23:01] The small fires
[00:23:05] literally, the fire is spouting from
[00:23:08] the ground, because it's about
[00:23:11] roots. The locals explain to me that they have to
[00:23:15] dig, I don't know, almost
[00:23:18] one meter deep to reach
[00:23:20] moist, or rather, cold sand, then they
[00:23:24] repair it, pour water. If they
[00:23:27] clean it superficially 20, 30 cm, it means nothing,
[00:23:31] because here, for example, you can bake an egg
[00:23:34] in the sand, even when it's not
[00:23:37] like this
[00:23:40] high
[00:23:43] temperature. A large fire broke out in the
[00:23:46] village of Breznica above Bujanovac. The fire affected
[00:23:50] 3.5 hectares of forest, said
[00:23:53] the head of the local emergency situations staff, Ali
[00:23:56] Aslani, for the portal Bujanovačke. Firefighters from Bujanovac and
[00:24:00] Vranje, teams from the public company Komunalac, and
[00:24:03] members of the Serbian Army are participating in the extinguishing effort,
[00:24:07] together with local residents. Aslani expects the fire to be brought
[00:24:10] under control, however, an aggravating circumstance is that the
[00:24:14] fire has also affected the pine forest. Breznica and the surrounding
[00:24:18] 12 villages are currently without electricity.
[00:24:20] The head of the Sector for Emergency Situations, Luka Čaušić, says that near
[00:24:24] Bujanovac an additional problem is that there is a fear of
[00:24:27] unexploded ordnance
[00:24:30] remaining from the past.
[00:24:34] In this fire near Bujanovac, the biggest problem we have
[00:24:36] is that there is a fear that the area
[00:24:40] where the fire is developing is contaminated with explosive
[00:24:43] remnants of war or unexploded ordnance, and for that
[00:24:47] reason. "for safety
[00:24:51] reasons of our members, which is absolutely
[00:24:54] paramount and always has the highest
[00:24:57] priority, we protect the settlements located
[00:25:00] there, houses, and they are for now protected, we have
[00:25:04] ready forces when
[00:25:08] their safety
[00:25:10] first allows us to send them to
[00:25:13] the site, however, what is important there is that there are no, that there are no, therefore
[00:25:17] endangered houses, meaning that the houses
[00:25:20] in the settlements are being defended.
[00:25:24] Elections have not yet been called, but the President of Serbia is already in
[00:25:28] his campaign, visiting villages, promising roads,
[00:25:31] water supply, schools, but in Nova Varoš he also
[00:25:35] heard about some unfulfilled promises, which, according to
[00:25:39] lawyers, raise the question of criminal
[00:25:42] responsibility.
[00:25:45] A ski slope and a water supply system, all that was promised by the president while visiting
[00:25:48] southwestern Serbia and Nova Varoš. Citizens came forward with
[00:25:51] their problems, and then one exposed the functioning of the ruling
[00:25:55] party. Can Krstojanović and Branko Bjelić answer me? In 2020,
[00:25:59] I was promised that I would get a job, and
[00:26:03] I was told that if
[00:26:06] I got votes, they would
[00:26:09] then... and you came from Sjenica too
[00:26:13] Sjenica, you came. Yes, I am sure you have all the evidence. I
[00:26:17] do, but I'm sure you have it, let me answer that.
[00:26:21] So what you have with those two, you will resolve with those
[00:26:24] two. An unhappy citizen tried to resolve it with the local
[00:26:28] progressives, but since she didn't succeed, she sought an answer from the
[00:26:31] president himself. "She live publicly admitted at least one
[00:26:35] criminal offense, that is receiving and giving bribes in connection with
[00:26:38] voting. There is real potential criminal
[00:26:41] responsibility, first and foremost of the one who offered
[00:26:45] such compensation or
[00:26:48] a job. The job was, as she said, in exchange for secure votes, offered by
[00:26:51] acting director of Serbia Forest Krsto Janjušević and mayor of Nova
[00:26:55] Varoš Branko Bjelić, who were standing next to the
[00:26:58] president at that moment. Unlike perhaps this citizen,
[00:27:02] the president certainly knows that he is in criminal territory, but
[00:27:06] simply his attitude and approach towards the citizen explains
[00:27:09] that really, I would say, inappropriate level
[00:27:13] of normalization of election criminalization. In Vučić's
[00:27:16] Serbia, it is difficult to expect that the prosecution
[00:27:20] will react, especially if we have a situation when the police, not only in
[00:27:24] this case, which would eventually be initiated, but in all other
[00:27:27] cases where there is a certain political background of a certain
[00:27:31] criminal offense, has never assisted the prosecution
[00:27:35] in shedding light on criminal offenses. This is not the first and only case, even after
[00:27:38] dozens of similar testimonies from citizens before and after the elections, no one
[00:27:42] has been prosecuted. Although according to the criminal code, giving and receiving

[00:27:53] The Vista Rica Fund, connected with government representatives,
[00:27:57] has received reinforcement. Daniel Hoffman
[00:28:01] has joined the supervisory board, a former CIA operative and
[00:28:05] Fox News reporter. Why did Hoffman deserve
[00:28:08] this, and what is intended by his engagement?
[00:28:11] Find out in the story of our Miodrag
[00:28:14] Sovilj. The fund, whose owners are connected
[00:28:18] with the Serbian Progressive Party, into which millions were invested
[00:28:21] by brothers, godfathers, and friends of the highest
[00:28:25] state officials, as well as businessmen close to the government.
[00:28:28] Recently underwent personnel changes, at the end of June.
[00:28:32] American citizen Daniel Hoffman became a member of the supervisory board of the Vista
[00:28:36] Rica fund, who came to that position only
[00:28:40] three days after Vojislav Nedić, owner
[00:28:43] of a quarter share in the company and father of the former general secretary
[00:28:47] of the Government of Serbia, Novak Nedić, resigned from that position.
[00:28:50] Who is Hoffman
[00:28:53] anyway? Fox News contributor and former CIA station chief Dan Hoffman.
[00:28:57] Dan, welcome. Before he
[00:29:00] became a contributor to this conservative
[00:29:04] television network in 2018, Hoffman, as stated in his
[00:29:07] biography, was a high-ranking CIA operative who was
[00:29:11] station chief of the American intelligence agency three times, and
[00:29:14] served in the former Soviet Union, in
[00:29:18] Europe, in the war zones of the Middle East and South
[00:29:21] Asia. The Executive Director of the Vista Rica Fund says that
[00:29:25] he is an internationally recognized expert, without specifically commenting
[00:29:29] on his intelligence past.
[00:29:32] Expert expertise, education acquired at the most prestigious
[00:29:35] institutions, international experience, analytical approach and
[00:29:39] deep understanding of macroeconomic and market trends were
[00:29:42] key reasons for the appointment of Mr. Daniel Hoffman
[00:29:46] to the position of member of the supervisory board. The presence of experts
[00:29:49] of Hoffman's profile in our team ensures that our funds do not
[00:29:53] view markets only through financial reports, but through
[00:29:56] a comprehensive analysis of the broader security and economic
[00:29:59] environment. The director of the fund... adds that
[00:30:03] she believes that for the same reasons he is engaged in a leading
[00:30:06] Washington strategic consulting and risk
[00:30:09] analysis firm. Hoffman is, in fact, a member of the advisory
[00:30:13] board of the lobbying company BGR, the same one that
[00:30:16] three years ago signed a contract with the Serbian embassy in
[00:30:20] Washington worth $600,000
[00:30:23] annually. According to the latest publicly available data, the contract was
[00:30:27] extended until July last year. Mr.
[00:30:30] Hoffman is first and foremost... a lobbyist for the BGR
[00:30:34] firm, which the Republic of Serbia paid
[00:30:37] $50,000 a month to lobby for the interests
[00:30:41] of Aleksandar Vučić with the American administration. He
[00:30:44] does not represent the American state, even less so the CIA.
[00:30:48] Hoffman's engagement should be a shield against
[00:30:51] potential interest from the competent authorities, according to Radar journalist.
[00:30:54] The stakes are high. As he says,
[00:30:58] the fund is currently worth more than 120.
