[00:00:19] Good afternoon, dear viewers, you are watching N1 info, these are the news
[00:00:22] of the day.
[00:00:27] The fire near Konjic is still spreading, firefighters. At the end
[00:00:30] of their strength, international
[00:00:32] assistance was requested.
[00:00:36] And in the region, an alarming situation on Brač, a large fire, dozens
[00:00:39] of firefighters on the ground. Fires also in Serbia and Montenegro.
[00:00:42] Gori.
[00:00:45] The number of dead in the earthquake in Colombia has risen to
[00:00:48] 265, 496 people are listed as
[00:01:08] Konjic in the villages of Kanjina,
[00:01:11] everything will be fine, we'll forget about Živašnica, Brđani, Džepi and Džepska Planina, which is still not under control. As
[00:01:15] announced by the Operations Center of the Civil Protection of the Herzegovina-Neretva
[00:01:19] Canton, the fire has a tendency to spread, which is favored by
[00:01:22] high temperatures and wind. The terrain is mostly inaccessible for firefighting
[00:01:26] equipment, which prevents the spread of the fire today. Since
[00:01:30] early morning hours, the helicopter of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina continued
[00:01:34] its activities in extinguishing the fire in the area of the city of
[00:01:36] Konjic. From Konjic, an official
[00:01:40] request for international assistance in extinguishing the fire from
[00:01:43] the air was also sent. Civil protection warns that
[00:01:47] firefighters and personnel are at the end of their strength, and during
[00:01:50] demanding interventions, several vehicles experienced breakdowns, tire
[00:01:54] bursts, brake failures and water pumps. Fires were
[00:01:57] also recorded in the area of Jablanica, Mostar and
[00:02:00] Stolac.
[00:02:04] Currently, the situation at the fire site, meaning the fire is still
[00:02:07] active, mm, we have mm,
[00:02:10] meaning
[00:02:12] the fire is spreading, temperatures are high on the ground, it facilitates
[00:02:16] spreading, strong wind, mm, today's focus is our priority
[00:02:20] to try to prevent the spread of the fire in the direction
[00:02:23] of Odževska Planina towards the village of Brđani which is spreading,
[00:02:26] this attempt for us is
[00:02:29] to... try to localize that direction, and this morning there was a helicopter operation
[00:02:33] of the armed forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it operated from 7:00
[00:02:37] and 10 minutes to
[00:02:39] 9:20 minutes, it performed five
[00:02:43] on papers, as the flights.
[00:02:46] A fire also broke out last night on the island of Brač,
[00:02:50] where firefighting forces are still working to extinguish it. Nikola
[00:02:53] Martinić Dragan, the head of Brač firefighters, told N1
[00:02:57] what the current situation is.
[00:03:01] The situation is currently a bit better than it was this morning and much better
[00:03:05] than it was last night, mm on the ground there are over
[00:03:08] 120 firefighters from the entire operational area of
[00:03:11] Brač, as well as colleagues who came to help from
[00:03:14] the area of mm Split-Dalmatia
[00:03:17] county. During the morning, that is, since morning, we have had
[00:03:21] four Canadair planes at our disposal. At this moment, their number has somewhat
[00:03:25] decreased because there is some situation on Hvar. The Bura wind
[00:03:28] is causing us problems, however. little by little we are trying to bring the fire under
[00:03:32] control. During the night, we had many threatened buildings, both
[00:03:35] residential and commercial, because the fire, besides being at the very
[00:03:39] entrance to the village, affected the industrial zone in
[00:03:42] Pučišća, so we also had evacuations, some 50-60
[00:03:46] citizens were evacuated from their
[00:03:49] properties, we had a lot of work to
[00:03:52] save all those buildings that were directly threatened,
[00:03:56] however, I must praise all firefighters who were on the ground
[00:03:59] from... or did a lion's share
[00:04:02] n1info.ba. Thank you for of work during the night, and from the information I have now,
[00:04:05] neither a single property nor working machines within the industrial zone suffered
[00:04:08] severe damage in the fire itself, and most importantly, there were no
[00:04:12] injured civilians or firefighters. It is still
[00:04:15] difficult to estimate the burned area. The fire is still
[00:04:19] spreading, especially in the direction of the southwest, but
[00:04:22] with a somewhat weaker intensity. The burned
[00:04:26] area is certainly over 250 hectares
[00:04:29] of dense pine forest, so
[00:04:32] we will determine the final area when we have realistic time to map it,
[00:04:36] mm, as for other
[00:04:39] things, the situation is relatively under control, we hope
[00:04:43] that the wind will be in our favor through the afternoon, but these are some
[00:04:46] assumptions for which we cannot yet
[00:04:49] many, many people have to work more on it. guarantee.
[00:04:52] In the territory of Serbia, there are currently active, currently active
[00:04:55] 31 fires in open areas, the most complex situation is in
[00:04:58] Deliblatska peščara where... affected more than 2,000
[00:05:01] hectares, then on Mount Stolovi near Kraljevo in Breznica in
[00:05:05] the municipality of Bujanovac and near Gornji Brestovac in the municipality of Bojnik,
[00:05:08] it was announced after the session of the republican headquarters for emergency situations.
[00:05:14] The situation on the ground is much more favorable, we have a joint
[00:05:17] operation of the helicopter unit of the Ministry of Interior Kamov
[00:05:20] helicopters Mi 17 of the Serbian Army. On
[00:05:24] the ground are members of the sector for emergency
[00:05:27] situations, members of voluntary fire societies,
[00:05:31] volunteers, locals.
[00:05:34] Uh, extinguishing the fire is hampered, as you saw,
[00:05:37] by inaccessible terrain, strong wind and high
[00:05:40] temperatures. Firefighters.
[00:05:42] rescuers successfully prevent the ground
[00:05:46] fire of low vegetation from
[00:05:48] spreading into the crown of the pine forest, that is, into a crown fire,
[00:05:52] houses and population are not
[00:05:54] threatened.
[00:05:56] In the territory of Montenegro, fires are currently active in the areas of Nikšić,
[00:06:00] Bar, Herceg Novi and Kolašin. In Bar, the fire is active on Mount
[00:06:04] Lisinj. In the area of Herceg Novi, all available vehicles and
[00:06:07] personnel are on the ground, there was fire close to houses and several were
[00:06:11] preventively evacuated.
[00:06:14] mm last night we had a very turbulent night because
[00:06:17] dozens of houses were threatened, fortunately
[00:06:21] not a single house was
[00:06:24] damaged nor was it affected by the fire, fortunately no
[00:06:27] member of the protection and rescue service
[00:06:30] was injured, neither locals nor tourists nor police, because last night there were
[00:06:34] members of various
[00:06:36] institutions on the ground, and the municipality took care that all those citizens who were
[00:06:40] evacuated during the night were taken care of. so that they would be
[00:06:43] provided with all necessary
[00:06:45] assistance.
[00:06:50] The director of the Srebrenica Memorial Center, Emir Suljagić, filed a criminal complaint with the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and
[00:06:53] Herzegovina against the Minister of Finance and Treasury of Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:06:57] Srđan Amidžić due to the existence of grounds for suspicion that he committed the criminal offense
[00:07:01] of non-execution of decisions of the High Representative. The complaint states
[00:07:04] that Minister Amidžić, as a responsible state official and member of the Council of Ministers,
[00:07:08] knowingly and continuously failed to fulfill obligations arising
[00:07:11] from the decision of the High Representative of September 20,
[00:07:15] 2023, which adopted the Law on Amendments
[00:07:18] to the Law on the Srebrenica Memorial Center, Potočari,
[00:07:21] memorial and burial site for the victims of the 1995
[00:07:25] genocide. The mentioned amendments significantly expanded the mandate of the Memorial Center
[00:07:29] in the areas of genocide research and education, while new
[00:07:32] Article 15A established a department for genocide research and genocide
[00:07:36] education within the center. Members of the department are entitled to a salary or
[00:07:40] compensation in accordance with the law, and the Minister. of Finance under the leadership
[00:07:43] of Minister Amidžić, according to the allegations in the complaint, did not take the necessary
[00:07:47] steps to ensure the organizational structure and financial
[00:07:50] resources.
[00:07:53] Member of the House of Representatives of the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Šemsudin Mehmedović,
[00:07:57] held a press conference where he spoke about the imbalance of employed Bosniaks in
[00:08:01] state institutions compared to other constituent
[00:08:04] peoples. Mehmedović spoke about the proposed amendments to the law on administration
[00:08:08] that would address this
[00:08:10] problem. I agreed that if
[00:08:14] fewer than 10% of the legally established number
[00:08:18] belonging to each constituent people are employed in an authority, then
[00:08:21] candidates belonging to the people who are not sufficiently represented in the employment structure
[00:08:25] of each administrative
[00:08:28] body are prioritized
[00:08:31] when filling vacant positions. My proposal in urgent
[00:08:34] parliamentary procedure was expressly rejected by the votes
[00:08:38] of deputies from Republika Srpska and
[00:08:40] HDZ. We can ask ourselves
[00:08:43] why these two
[00:08:46] political partners.
[00:08:49] Before that, already in 2023, I asked the administrative inspector
[00:08:53] to instruct eight specific institutions
[00:08:56] to eliminate the imbalance of members of
[00:09:00] constituent peoples, Croats, Serbs, and Bosniaks, as well as others, but in vain. The
[00:09:03] inspectorate obviously exists to fulfill the wishes
[00:09:07] of the HDZ Minister of Justice, Mr.
[00:09:09] Bunoza.
[00:09:19] The death toll from the powerful 7.4 Richter scale earthquake that
[00:09:21] hit Colombia on Monday rose
[00:09:25] to 265. Around 3,500 people were injured, and
[00:09:29] 496 people are officially listed as missing. At the same time,
[00:09:33] almost 4,200 people were listed on an unofficial online platform
[00:09:36] for missing persons. Rescuers are still under pressure
[00:09:40] searching the rubble in a race against time and the crucial
[00:09:43] 72-hour deadline after which the chances of
[00:09:47] finding survivors significantly
[00:09:51] Well, our main function is to wait for the
[00:09:54] news from the personnel who are searching the rubble for
[00:09:58] patients. Once they inform us that
[00:10:00] they have found patients, that there is life,
[00:10:04] we go in, we extract the patient, and
[00:10:08] we provide the first medical attention, stabilize them, and then transport them in ambulances.
[00:10:12] We have all the medical team ready and
[00:10:15] coordinated for that action.
[00:10:18] We are trying to get people out while we have
[00:10:22] everything ready here to help. We have
[00:10:25] medicines, gauze, anything to give first
[00:10:29] aid to people who need it. We are also helping
[00:10:32] people so they don't get heatstroke because the temperature
[00:10:36] is also very
[00:10:37] high.
[00:10:41] Firefighters in Spain continued throughout the night to battle forest fires that
[00:10:44] have affected almost 37,000
[00:10:47] hectares across the country. The largest fire in southwestern Spain affected
[00:10:51] more than 31. hectares and spread towards the province of Seville,
[00:10:55] which led to the preventive evacuation of the population. In
[00:10:58] northeastern Spain, in the province of Huesca, a separate forest fire
[00:11:02] burned 5,705 hectares of land. Authorities
[00:11:06] state that one person was detained on suspicion of causing
[00:11:09] the fire in
[00:11:10] Huesca.
[00:11:14] Japan sent a strong protest regarding Vladimir Putin's visit
[00:11:17] to the Kuril Islands, which was the first time that a Russian president visited
[00:11:21] the disputed archipelago. Russian state media reported that Putin
[00:11:25] visited Iturup, known in Japan as Etorofu, one
[00:11:28] of the four islands in the Kuril chain claimed by
[00:11:32] both Russia and Japan, Reuters reports. Japanese Foreign
[00:11:35] Minister Toshimitsu Motegi stated that
[00:11:38] the islands are inalienable Japanese territory, both historically
[00:11:42] and under international law, and that the government of Japan strongly
[00:11:45] protests this
[00:11:46] visit.
[00:11:51] The Northern Territories are an integral part of Japanese territory, both historically
[00:11:55] and according to international law. This latest visit to Etorofu Island by
[00:11:59] the current president of Russia is contrary to Japan's consistent position
[00:12:02] regarding the Northern Territories. Furthermore, it
[00:12:05] offends the feelings of the Japanese people and is completely unacceptable.
[00:13:10] observed, filmed, and photographed yesterday's partial solar
[00:13:14] eclipse. The moon passed between the sun and the earth, partially
[00:13:17] covering the solar disk. All of you who missed the phenomenon, the next
[00:13:21] opportunity will be on August 2nd, but only next year. Anticyclone.
[00:13:25] continues to support stable weather, but rain would be welcome given
[00:13:28] the long-term drought and active fires in Dalmatia.
[00:13:32] A change in weather will occur next, that is,
[00:13:34] in the upcoming week when we expect locally more abundant
[00:13:38] precipitation. The rest of this Thursday will be predominantly sunny,
[00:13:41] stable, dry with mostly light wind, at least in the inland
[00:13:45] parts of Croatia. At sea, strong bura wind is blowing, hindering traffic
[00:13:49] in the coastal area, and windy conditions will continue
[00:13:52] further. All this together then creates. temperatures, we
[00:13:55] expect that today will be the hottest in the area of
[00:13:58] Dalmatia, where values will rise to 39, inland,
[00:14:01] generally lower temperatures from
[00:14:05] 27 to 32, it will be hot
[00:14:08] on the weekend as well, but that will also be the end of the stable period, the end
[00:14:11] of the heatwave, from Monday we expect
[00:14:15] rain, showers, in the rest of the week and a drop
[00:14:17] in temperatures.
[00:14:21] And that was all about this news overview. If you missed anything, here is our portal
[00:14:27] your attention, goodbye.
[00:14:51] Watch "Dan uživo" with Mirna Ždralović.
[00:14:55] Today from
[00:14:56] 16:15.
[00:15:01] A new day begins. Friend of the show
[00:15:04] Medicana Health Group.
[00:15:16] The affair with tens of thousands of tons of illegally disposed waste that has been shaking
[00:15:20] Croatia in recent days seems to be connected with Bosnia and Herzegovina during
[00:15:23] 2014. The company, as we heard, "Pramat Plast" imported
[00:15:27] 23 shipments with a total of about
[00:15:31] 358 tons of waste with questionable documentation into Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[00:15:34] The company had documentation for cross-border import of non-hazardous
[00:15:38] waste, but imported medical waste, about 40 tons were returned to Croatia and
[00:16:07] Let's start with the last story, or the affair, as Mr.
[00:16:11] Lemeš called it. How much do you
[00:16:13] believe it is likely that the waste we are talking about
[00:16:17] in Lika is exactly the waste
[00:16:19] that was in Bosnia and Herzegovina for some time? Well,
[00:16:23] those are, those are pure speculations, it doesn't matter at all whether it's
[00:16:27] about that waste, whether those are those specific quantities,
[00:16:30] the thing is that we don't have investigations to
[00:16:34] determine, except for this project that UNDP did where they...
[00:16:37] tried to map those hotspots,
[00:16:40] map them, there is no, there is no action to uncover
[00:16:44] those hotspots, to uncover the perpetrators,
[00:16:47] especially there is no prosecution of them. Here
[00:16:50] the question is perhaps also for the Prosecutor's Office of the Federation of Bosnia and
[00:16:53] Herzegovina, because according to the Waste Management Law,
[00:16:56] anyone who illegally imports
[00:17:00] hazardous waste, exposes himself to
[00:17:03] the risk of a prison sentence of one to five years in Bosnia and
[00:17:07] Herzegovina, since environmental laws exist, since
[00:17:11] the crime of environmental pollution was introduced
[00:17:14] into the Criminal Code, we have only one, only
[00:17:17] one case where the Prosecutor's Office
[00:17:19] prosecuted such
[00:17:22] crime, it is about Gikil Lukavac, where
[00:17:26] the main perpetrator left the country, all other
[00:17:29] criminal acts are actually just forest theft, and Mr.
[00:17:33] Kalaba, how many such places,
[00:17:36] landfills. parts that the professor is talking about that
[00:17:40] could surely or should have long ago come under the scrutiny of the
[00:17:43] prosecutor's office?
[00:17:47] well, I think, here's a relatively simple example, how many
[00:17:50] times have you seen, while traveling, piled up old
[00:17:54] wooden railway sleepers that have been replaced?
[00:17:57] They are, for example, prepared with very
[00:18:01] very toxic chemicals that are in the European Union, maybe even here
[00:18:04] now already banned, so it's very difficult to get into... tracks. What
[00:18:08] was done through this UNDP project that Professor
[00:18:11] Lemeš mentioned is that some of the biggest ones
[00:18:15] were located, with the caveat that one piece of information, which is a half-
[00:18:18] information, I received it unofficially, even for a larger
[00:18:22] location, there was an option to
[00:18:25] uh procure funds for remediation, but that
[00:18:28] from the institutions that should have reacted there was not enough interest, so
[00:18:32] we are talking not only about criminality,
[00:18:35] we are sometimes talking about incompetence or
[00:18:38] disinterest of institutions. Uh, we have
[00:18:41] a terrible lot of generally illegal landfills, that's true,
[00:18:45] we have most landfills, official
[00:18:48] landfills that are legal, they are not sanitary as such, and
[00:18:52] all sorts of things end up there, from animal waste, which is
[00:18:55] the smallest problem in this context, this, but still
[00:18:58] a problem, this, and up to medical
[00:19:02] and other types of waste, this, there are also, as the professor
[00:19:05] said in the clip from before... very porous borders that are very
[00:19:09] questionable, I mean, smuggling is happening, this, we see that
[00:19:12] people from different clans, this, enter and leave the country as they wish,
[00:19:16] so this waste should not be a big problem and
[00:19:19] also the mentioned incinerators that
[00:19:22] are opening, that is, incineration, for now, we hope that it will remain only in
[00:19:25] cement factories for now, we have that RDF refuse derived fuel, that is
[00:19:29] pellets from processed waste,
[00:19:32] uh, it's very, they are very potentially problematic because...
[00:19:35] uh, not every RDF is the same and it's very questionable what
[00:19:39] the ingredient is there, and how declarations, labels
[00:19:43] are made, how it looks between
[00:19:46] importers, exporters, freight forwarders,
[00:19:50] at the borders and so on, again, porous borders are a very big
[00:19:53] problem, that's exactly why I asked the professor this question,
[00:19:57] so what if the waste in Lika ended up being waste
[00:20:00] from Bosnia and Herzegovina, actually putting the focus
[00:20:04] on cross-border cooperation. or rather the porosity of borders, so
[00:20:07] let's try to clarify that cyclical path, how it
[00:20:10] actually looks, how the procedure looks when waste
[00:20:14] from Croatia enters Bosnia and Herzegovina and who must give permission, who, among
[00:20:17] other things, also controls what is in the truck, how does that
[00:20:21] pass? I don't know what the situation is in Republika Srpska and
[00:20:24] Brčko District, I assume it's similar, I know according to federal
[00:20:28] regulations, hazardous waste cannot pass,
[00:20:32] so legally. It couldn't pass, so
[00:20:35] it's probably then hidden in, packed
[00:20:39] into some other some other
[00:20:42] waste packaging, whether every shipment is physically inspected?
[00:20:46] Does everything come down to documentation, well it's impossible, it's impossible to physically
[00:20:50] inspect everything, so it's based on documentation, mostly on documentation
[00:20:53] possibly sampling if something is suspected to be wrong,
[00:20:56] so that's very difficult, otherwise that documentation is
[00:21:00] so strictly controlled, here we recently
[00:21:04] had an example where we through a project provided
[00:21:07] humanitarian aid, i.e. a donation from
[00:21:10] Slovakia, a device for purifying drinking water,
[00:21:13] mhm, that shipment had to be returned to the European
[00:21:16] Union, meaning we paid double transport costs just because
[00:21:20] one sentence on the export declaration was not correct,
[00:21:23] meaning instead of returning the declaration, the entire shipment
[00:21:26] was returned, meaning those customs regulations are
[00:21:30] extremely strict, mhm and some are
[00:21:34] made to suffer, here in this
[00:21:37] case where it should be something of general interest,
[00:21:41] and where you have that it's probably corruption
[00:21:44] then, that someone is bribed to turn a blind eye
[00:21:47] so that such shipments pass even
[00:21:51] through these legal border crossings. Is the situation
[00:21:54] the same, Mr. Kalaba, in Republika Srpska? How much
[00:21:58] knowledge do you have about Brčko District, and
[00:22:01] has the responsibility of those who failed to
[00:22:05] determine the contents of a truck ever been
[00:22:08] established?
[00:22:14] Basically, I think the laws, if word for word, then
[00:22:17] 99% are harmonized. Uh, I mean, I
[00:22:21] can speak from personal experience, since I spent three, about three or four
[00:22:24] months, this, when I was finishing college, this, I spent
[00:22:28] working in freight forwarding, in Gradiška,
[00:22:31] the border crossing in Gradiška is one of the most important in the country and
[00:22:35] busiest, this,
[00:22:39] I mean, that was my own, so to speak, and instead of
[00:22:42] studying psychology, but on the other hand,
[00:22:45] it was a very, very sobering moment for me how things work in this
[00:22:49] country, and how borders work,
[00:22:52] uh, so basically, I mean, we live where
[00:22:55] we live and everything is very flexible if
[00:22:59] the right people, a sufficient amount of capital, unfortunately it's still
[00:23:03] like that, you have cases, I mean, CIN and other
[00:23:06] investigative portals
[00:23:10] every now and then write about some people
[00:23:14] who were suspended and then returned to work, you have people, you have
[00:23:17] sanitary inspectors, for example, who... open a truck, among
[00:23:21] other things, not only because of corruption, but simply because of the nature of the work in terms of
[00:23:25] the amount of material, the truck is opened, the first
[00:23:28] bale is looked at, things are not pulled out and so on, it's mostly based
[00:23:33] professor said, this, I mean, one of the
[00:23:36] most amusing situations was this, when an older
[00:23:39] freight forwarder told me, you see that guy in the black jumpsuit from this team for
[00:23:42] suppressing smuggling, I said yes, well, he used to be a customs officer
[00:23:46] here and was suspended for smuggling, now they've put him back in that team.
[00:23:50] Everything is clear
[00:23:51] and
[00:23:56] have you done anything about it, can
[00:23:59] you actually, when, you know, you're in the system, someone
[00:24:03] who's on an internship or trying
[00:24:07] to learn how these
[00:24:10] flows work, can anything
[00:24:11] be done?
[00:24:15] Well, generally my rule is not to end statements and dissuasion with
[00:24:19] defeatism. So, it definitely can be done,
[00:24:23] a lot can be done, but people have to be very united. Uh, again,
[00:24:27] something that can be done is the fight against
[00:24:29] incinerators, since that is indeed
[00:24:31] importing
[00:24:34] under a wider door, actually for manipulation, for importing
[00:24:37] all sorts of things, and of course, to defend as much as
[00:24:40] possible the ban on the import of hazardous waste until
[00:24:44] further notice. From a technical perspective, there is still a lot to be
[00:24:47] done, definitely, and and and something needs to be done with that
[00:24:51] hazardous waste, uh, so it's not
[00:24:55] ruled out that some treatment plants will eventually be necessary, but that
[00:24:58] would be done, because, for example, one of the things I
[00:25:02] say, uh, whatever is done related to waste must
[00:25:05] be very close to larger administrative centers,
[00:25:09] I mean, I say that somewhat jokingly, it must be in the center
[00:25:11] of Banja Luka, this, because, you see, all these cases, they were mostly,
[00:25:15] most of them were this Drvar, Bosansko
[00:25:19] Grahovo.
[00:25:29] those places that suffer from depopulation, which somehow overlap with perhaps some
[00:25:32] of the most valuable natural resources,
[00:25:35] this, so it's possible, but
[00:25:39] many people I think, and political awareness as such,
[00:25:42] we had cases where the local community fights against whether
[00:25:46] it's a mine or something, and then they vote again for the same people who did it. So, that
[00:25:50] political maturity needs to be at a much higher level,
[00:25:53] and the fight must not stop,
[00:25:56] no matter what, even if it seems futile. What about
[00:26:00] subsequent checks? In this specific case, we're talking about
[00:26:03] 23 shipments, 358
[00:26:06] tons, so waste. If
[00:26:10] one shipment, Professor Lemeš, was returned, is there
[00:26:13] some system of subsequent checks? What about the other
[00:26:17] shipments? Are they even being tracked? Well, if you say that they enter the
[00:26:21] country based on valid documentation,
[00:26:24] are they tracking where they end up? Well, logically, someone
[00:26:27] should conduct additional control,
[00:26:30] but usually... "Here, those who engage in such
[00:26:34] crime are very connected with political structures,
[00:26:38] so it's simply a phone call,
[00:26:41] let it go, don't do it, hide it in
[00:26:44] a drawer. I mean, unfortunately, we live in a country
[00:26:47] that has turned corruption from an incident into a way of life,
[00:26:51] and it seems that the general public accepts
[00:26:54] corruption as, well, we know there's corruption, let's see how I
[00:26:58] can fit into that. I think we need to completely."
[00:27:02] change our way of thinking. We once had the illusion,
[00:27:06] "Here we are, we will be a candidate for EU membership, and when
[00:27:10] we join the EU, everything will be perfect,
[00:27:13] corruption." There is corruption in the European Union. 15
[00:27:17] years ago, at a conference, I heard information that
[00:27:21] the Italian mafia, there's Italy in the European Union,
[00:27:25] the Italian mafia has reoriented itself from
[00:27:28] human trafficking, weapons, and drugs to waste trafficking, because
[00:27:32] it pays off more for them. It's simply more profitable,
[00:27:36] Northern Italy generates huge quantities of waste, and it's very
[00:27:40] expensive, according to EU regulations, very expensive, to dispose of that
[00:27:43] waste. Companies are paid to dispose of it,
[00:27:46] then it's transported and dumped in the south of Italy, polluting the soil,
[00:27:50] polluting the land, destroying m, cheaply
[00:27:54] bought agricultural estates. Now you have
[00:27:57] huge plantations with greenhouses
[00:28:00] in the south of Italy, and we probably eat those
[00:28:03] tomatoes, tomato plantations
[00:28:06] that are on polluted soil, that
[00:28:10] absorb heavy metals and all those toxins from the soil, and
[00:28:14] migrants fleeing Africa work on those plantations,
[00:28:16] so it's all connected to crime, and that crime is
[00:28:20] European. So, we somehow have the illusion that when we join
[00:28:23] Europe, there will be no crime or corruption. There will be. We have to
[00:28:27] change. But yes, what you're saying is interesting, and even when we talk about
[00:28:31] imports, I always... I mention imports because
[00:28:34] the latest scandal says the most about it. But, uh,
[00:28:38] if someone, Professor, declares cheaper non-hazardous plastic waste
[00:28:41] but actually imports medical or hazardous waste, where is the
[00:28:44] potential profit there, where is that logic, or is it
[00:28:48] actually uh
[00:28:51] that large profits are made in these cases actually because
[00:28:55] the disposal of hazardous waste is much more expensive than the disposal of
[00:28:58] non-hazardous waste? Is that the logic? That's right, that's pure logic. It's
[00:29:02] pure greed, where mm people see an opportunity,
[00:29:06] see, I, I, this is expensive to pay for, I will
[00:29:10] take it, and I will not dispose of it at all. No one will
[00:29:13] control me. If someone controls me, I will somehow
[00:29:17] cover it from the profit I make. So
[00:29:20] somehow this sounds like
[00:29:23] an open invitation for people to engage in crime, because there is
[00:29:26] indeed a large profit. But it is not actually an invitation
[00:29:30] to institutions to act to prevent that crime,
[00:29:32] to cut it off, to strictly punish it.
[00:29:36] I will repeat that there have been no convictions for the criminal
[00:29:39] offense of environmental pollution. I call on
[00:29:42] prosecutor's offices to roll up their sleeves, to take
[00:29:45] a look, at least to look at what investigative journalism
[00:29:49] is doing, to listen to what is being said in the media. There's
[00:29:52] enough work for them, they can put it in their plans for next year, so that
[00:29:56] prosecutor's offices start prosecuting that
[00:30:00] crime, so that courts finally...
[00:30:02] "decide that someone ends up in prison for polluting
[00:30:06] the environment, for destroying nature and endangering the health
[00:30:10] of citizens.
