[00:00:02] A new day begins with the show Medicana
[00:00:06] Health Group.
[00:00:27] Good morning, dear viewers, a new day begins. The morning program
[00:00:31] of N1. At the very beginning, we take you through the current events from Bosnia
[00:00:34] and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Croatia. We will soon be in
[00:00:37] all 3 N1 Centers. A few hours separate us from
[00:00:41] the beginning of the 32nd Sarajevo Film Festival, the largest and
[00:00:44] most significant film event in this part of
[00:00:47] Europe. From tonight until August 21st, Sarajevo will
[00:00:51] once again be a regional and global film center, a meeting place for
[00:00:55] authors, actors, producers, and thousands of guests from all over
[00:00:59] the world. This year's edition brings more than a hundred
[00:01:02] screenings, dozens of premieres, and 51 films in
[00:01:05] competition for the Heart of Sarajevo awards. The festival will
[00:01:09] open tonight with the film "Fatherland" by Oscar winner Paweł
[00:01:12] Pawlikowski, while Sarajevo this year will host some of
[00:01:16] the most famous names in world and regional cinematography.
[00:01:19] Special attention is also attracted by this year's, this year's
[00:01:22] recipients of the honorary Heart of Sarajevo, Hollywood actor
[00:01:25] Woody Harrelson and Bosnian-Herzegovinian giant
[00:01:29] Emir Hadžihafizbegović, who will be honored for their
[00:01:32] outstanding contribution to film
[00:01:34] art.
[00:01:37] And last night, Sarajevo hosted one of the biggest musical
[00:01:41] events of the year. The legendary British band The
[00:01:43] Prodigy held a spectacular concert at the Grbavica
[00:01:47] stadium in front of tens of thousands of fans from Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:01:51] and the region. The performance of the group that has been shaping the world electronic
[00:01:54] scene for more than three decades further heated up the
[00:01:58] atmosphere in the city before the start of the Sarajevo Film Festival.
[00:02:53] We are live this morning in the square in front of the National Theater in Sarajevo,
[00:02:57] bringing all the details about the start of the Sarajevo Film Festival. We will also talk about numerous
[00:03:01] upcoming musical events with singer-songwriter Zlatan
[00:03:04] Fazlić Fazla. Among other things, we bring an interview with actor
[00:03:08] Izudin Bajrović, who is welcomed at this Sarajevo Film Festival with
[00:03:11] his three films. Very soon, we will host our first guests
[00:03:15] with whom we will actually talk about what
[00:03:18] the drought that we have been enduring for weeks and months
[00:03:22] has really done to the wild Livno horses after conflicting information
[00:03:25] appeared. We know for sure that the drought, among
[00:03:29] other things, was the cause of devastating fires, among others,
[00:03:32] in Konjic, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this morning the situation is finally a bit calmer,
[00:03:36] but the region continues to face numerous problems, among
[00:03:39] other things, we will discuss that later. Let's go to our colleagues, that is, to
[00:03:53] of a new day with? Fires are certainly still a current story, since
[00:03:57] dozens of hotspots across the country are still
[00:04:01] active, but we also turn our attention to significant social
[00:04:04] events a year after the conflict in Novi Sad, that is,
[00:04:08] the pelting of citizens with pyrotechnics, the smashing of the premises
[00:04:12] of the Serbian Progressive Party, and the firing of a shot into the air by one of
[00:04:15] the members of the military unit Kobre who was securing
[00:04:19] the protected person during that gathering. "We remember all the
[00:04:22] misdeeds that this regime brought us," said the citizens of Novi Sad
[00:04:26] who gathered last night at the protest in
[00:04:30] the city. Today marks another similar
[00:04:34] anniversary. A year ago, citizens of Valjevo gathered in Hajduk Veljko Street
[00:04:37] in front of the SNS premises to show support
[00:04:40] for those injured in the protest that had happened the previous day
[00:04:44] in Vrbas. At the end of that gathering, as citizens
[00:04:47] were dispersing, several masked individuals rushed into the nearby cafe
[00:04:51] Romana, smashing the entrance door and windows, vandalizing the property, injuring
[00:04:55] the owner Vladimir Mihajlović and one guest. The next day,
[00:04:58] August 14th of last year, the citizens of Valjevo gathered in front of that cafe
[00:05:01] to peacefully protest in support of the Mihajlović family. That night,
[00:05:05] unprecedented police brutality occurred against the citizens
[00:05:09] of Valjevo, among whom were minors. One year
[00:05:12] after that, after the violence that happened that night,
[00:05:15] two proceedings are underway: one against the participants of the protest and the other
[00:05:19] against the police officers who brutally beat citizens. Students in blockade
[00:05:23] have announced a protest for tonight which will begin with a gathering
[00:05:27] in front of the Valjevo Gymnasium.
[00:05:30] We will follow today's events, it is still
[00:05:33] difficult to publicly speak about what happened last August.
[00:05:36] The Belgrade Centre for Security Policy no one in Valjevo wanted to rent space
[00:05:40] for a panel discussion on that topic, and... This morning, they are refusing space from us. We will talk about that
[00:05:44] with Predrag Petrović on that and other
[00:05:48] current topics, through a review of the press, Professor of the Faculty
[00:05:52] of Political Sciences Dušan Spasojević will comment, of course, that is part
[00:05:55] of what we are preparing for this
[00:06:12] coming from Omiš, it's not hard to imagine what
[00:06:15] somehow dominates your your edition of the show.
[00:06:19] That's right, all these past days, somehow in
[00:06:22] Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, you were reporting fires, I would
[00:06:26] come every day and say: the situation
[00:06:29] in Croatia is good, unfortunately, today
[00:06:32] it's not like that. The residents of the Omiš area have had
[00:06:36] an extremely difficult night, a large fire broke out last night
[00:06:39] around 8:15 PM in the area of
[00:06:43] Lokva Rogoznica, it engulfed grass, low vegetation and pine
[00:06:46] forest, carried by strong winds during the night it spread quickly
[00:06:50] towards Omiš, hundreds of firefighters defended houses
[00:06:53] and settlements for hours, the Adriatic Highway was
[00:06:56] closed, residents and tourists were evacuated
[00:07:00] from the affected areas, some of them by sea.
[00:07:03] The fire reached the Borak area after midnight, right
[00:07:07] above Omiš. Injured people are in
[00:07:09] the Clinical Hospital Center Split, seven of whom are in critical
[00:07:13] condition.
[00:07:16] I left my car here and I'm walking because there's chaos, everything is stopped,
[00:07:20] I have to run but the most important thing is that everyone is alive
[00:07:24] and well, it's easy for the house, for property, it's important that everyone survives
[00:07:28] that's it, it's terrible I mean, I couldn't expect it to reach
[00:07:32] Omiš and this wind that carries I say all day there was no wind
[00:07:35] now it started what will start now it's terrible I mean
[00:07:39] it's devastating I have no words, with your house I don't
[00:07:42] know, but that's it, we have a vacation home, we don't live here, that's
[00:07:45] the least of our worries, we lived, I feel sorry for the people who live here whose
[00:07:49] existence is now
[00:07:51] disappearing.
[00:07:53] Well, I'm in shock because I don't know where my husband is yet,
[00:07:57] hmm, we were a little restless
[00:08:00] below the mouse and everything seemed okay, at
[00:08:04] one point we just started hearing some sirens to start coming
[00:08:07] out, because everything looked okay, only at some point it
[00:08:11] stopped being okay. "I think they should have told us earlier to
[00:08:14] prepare and go.
[00:08:17] There is so much work here, so many who really need
[00:08:20] help now, from small children to the oldest, even those
[00:08:24] who are critically, that is, health-wise, endangered, that I can't even
[00:08:28] think about fear right now, now it's all about
[00:08:31] a lot of adrenaline, probably when all this passes, if
[00:08:34] it passes, because there's no end in sight, we will actually
[00:08:37] count the consequences of all this, but now the most important thing is
[00:08:41] to take care of..." the youngest and
[00:08:44] to, in principle, help the elderly. For
[00:08:48] now, there are enough
[00:08:50] beds, water, and food, everything is under control, so we are following
[00:08:53] the situation, that's all the information we have
[00:08:57] so far, how many people approximately,
[00:09:00] how many people, over 500 we know for
[00:09:04] sure.
[00:09:07] The morning brings a new phase of fighting the fire and the first clearer picture
[00:09:11] of what the fire leaves behind. From the beginning of the broadcast,
[00:09:14] we have been following the situation on the ground, where hotspots are still active,
[00:09:17] whether people and property are endangered, how much material damage there is,
[00:09:21] and whether firefighters, with the first light of day and air
[00:09:25] forces, can finally bring this fire under control. As of
[00:09:28] this morning, there is a fire on Pelješac. The chief fire commander
[00:09:31] Slavko Tucaković said that the situation is serious and
[00:09:35] that two Canadairs have been redirected to extinguish the fire
[00:09:39] there. In Gospić, another big story continues
[00:09:42] which in recent days has raised the question of the functioning of the entire environmental
[00:09:46] protection system in Croatia, precisely today the parliamentary
[00:09:49] committee for environmental and nature protection is meeting there, at the session
[00:09:53] representatives of the citizens' initiative "Gospić is our home" will also participate,
[00:09:57] after the discovery of hazardous waste, soil contamination
[00:10:00] and groundwater, the questions are no longer just what ended up underground
[00:10:04] and how much of it is there, but who knew about it, who should have reacted
[00:10:08] and why they didn't. In the new day, we also follow international current events.
[00:10:12] While the war in Russia and Ukraine continues with strikes on ports
[00:10:16] and energy infrastructure deep behind
[00:10:18] the front lines, Kyiv, through intermediaries, offered Moscow
[00:10:22] a cessation of attacks on civilian targets in the Black Sea. Russia currently claims
[00:10:26] it has not received an official offer, in the background is growing
[00:10:29] concern about the consequences of the war for grain exports and global
[00:10:33] food supply. We analyze all this with our guests, we start
[00:10:37] where it is most difficult this morning, at the fire near Omiš. That's the
[00:10:40] plan for today in the new day.
[00:10:44] We hope for the best and most positive possible news from Croatia as soon as possible,
[00:10:47] meaning that the firefighters managed to fight the blaze, practically in
[00:10:51] the entire region, very similar. to help the firefighters and all those who are fighting, thank you
[00:11:04] colleagues, thank you.
[00:11:18] In the meteorological center in Zagreb this morning is our colleague Kristijan
[00:11:22] Božarov. Kristijan, what kind of weather awaits us in the coming
[00:11:32] didn't dawn as we saw in the good parts that were
[00:11:35] burned. The good news is that this fire near
[00:11:38] Omiš is somehow subsiding according to the firefighters'
[00:11:41] statements, but now this other one on Pelješac is flaring up, so the situation
[00:11:45] is still not good. In the first part of summer, we watched
[00:11:48] these fires ravage France, Spain,
[00:11:52] Portugal, now they have spread to our region. Thanks to
[00:11:56] prolonged drought, extremely dry air which further
[00:11:59] dries this bora wind that blows during the night
[00:12:02] hours, there is still no rain in sight, let's first see what
[00:12:06] is expected with the wind situation during today.
[00:12:09] The bora in the Dalmatian area is precisely
[00:12:12] weakening, which is the typical morning weakening of the bora
[00:12:16] after it blows during the night, with the first daylight
[00:12:19] it starts to weaken and in the coming hours it will actually completely
[00:12:23] stop. We expect that around noon the wind will turn
[00:12:26] to a sea breeze, southwesterly and
[00:12:29] northwesterly, so mostly westerly winds will blow
[00:12:33] on Pelješac and in the Omiš area and elsewhere along the coast, but
[00:12:37] it is important to emphasize, which the firefighters surely know, that with the arrival
[00:12:40] of evening, with the first dark, the wind will turn again to
[00:12:44] bora, so the situation today will be delicate,
[00:12:47] that is, very challenging for all firefighters and for all who are in the burned
[00:12:51] areas. All this is caused by a vast anticyclone, a high
[00:12:55] pressure system. Due to air pressure, it has now shifted somewhat further north, northeast of us,
[00:12:58] so along its edge, air from the northeast is flowing towards us, and
[00:13:02] that is the bora that has brought somewhat lower temperatures to the mainland, while on
[00:13:05] the Adriatic, temperatures are generally still high, but these problems
[00:13:09] with wind and fires, since this anticyclone is actually
[00:13:13] vast and allows for a large area of clear skies
[00:13:16] over Europe, it blocks the arrival of any moister air
[00:13:20] that is over the Atlantic, it simply bypasses this anticyclone from
[00:13:24] the north, so... moisture and coolness cannot arrive for now,
[00:13:27] they will only arrive at the beginning of next week. In such circumstances,
[00:13:31] in the rest of the day, both in Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it will be predominantly
[00:13:34] clear, so here is the cloud cover map, it is completely
[00:13:37] clear, we will not see a single cloud in the sky,
[00:13:40] therefore, temperatures will quickly rise after a pleasantly cool morning
[00:13:44] on the mainland, in the afternoon everywhere both inland and on the Adriatic
[00:13:48] they will reach numbers between 30 and 35 degrees
[00:13:52] Celsius, these may not be the numbers we had until Sunday, but
[00:13:55] it is still hot summer weather, while the wind on the mainland will be
[00:13:59] mostly light, easterly or northeasterly, as I have
[00:14:02] already mentioned, in the middle of the day and in the afternoon the bora will
[00:14:06] completely stop on the Adriatic, except for the sub-Velebit
[00:14:09] area, where it will probably remain all day along most of the coast,
[00:14:13] in the afternoon northwesterly and southwesterly winds will blow,
[00:14:16] so that will still bring a breath of freshness, in Bosnia and
[00:14:20] Herzegovina also hot with temperatures in Bosnia mostly between
[00:14:23] 30 and 3 34, in the south they will climb
[00:14:27] to 37 Celsius today, it will somehow
[00:14:31] again be warmest in the wider Mostar area. Wind
[00:14:34] mostly light, easterly, northeasterly, it will not
[00:14:37] provide any significant relief, but it will at least
[00:14:40] ventilate the air a little. In the next
[00:14:43] few days, oh, pardon, before that and sea temperatures, that's interesting
[00:14:46] information, 27-28,
[00:14:48] it's rare to see such high sea temperatures, even in the southern
[00:14:52] part of the Adriatic, where the sea is quite deep and heats up slowly, it has already
[00:14:56] reached those extremely high numbers. And now, let's go to
[00:15:00] the forecast for the next few days, the weekend remains dry, sunny
[00:15:03] and hot, there are no significant changes, in fact, the temperature will
[00:15:07] probably rise by another degree or two, so the interior will also
[00:15:10] bake again during the weekend at around 35
[00:15:13] Celsius. We expect a change in weather at the beginning of
[00:15:17] next week, namely, a cold front will still
[00:15:20] break through to our regions, bringing us on Monday an increase in cloudiness
[00:15:24] from the west
[00:15:27] and northwest, occasional thunderstorms, northerly
[00:15:30] wind and a drop in temperature, this will primarily be felt in the inland
[00:15:34] regions, i.e., inland Croatia, and then
[00:15:37] Bosnia, the change will affect the Adriatic and
[00:15:40] Herzegovina much less, there will be local storms, but it will not be
[00:15:44] so comprehensive. Every drop of rain will be welcome in this
[00:15:48] extremely dry and hot period, so we hope that the beginning
[00:15:51] of the week will bring relief to most regions, I must
[00:15:55] emphasize that this is not a long-term change in weather,
[00:15:58] it is a short-term relief because from Tuesday
[00:16:01] and Wednesday there will again be a series of dry, sunnier
[00:16:05] and warmer days, although it seems that temperatures will no longer
[00:16:08] reach such wild numbers as they have been so far, it will mostly
[00:16:12] be between 30 and 35, all of which is of course still summer
[00:16:16] weather, but here's a breath of relief at the beginning of next
[00:16:19] week, primarily in the inland regions, we will of course continue to follow
[00:16:22] this situation with fires and other topics, so stay with us.
[00:16:46] In the next few hours, we bring you the latest information
[00:16:49] on wildfires in the region, but we are also live in places in Bosnia and
[00:16:53] Herzegovina that will surely create and send the most beautiful possible
[00:16:57] images to the world in the coming days. Welcome to
[00:17:01] a new day, the morning program of N1 television, a lot of content
[00:17:04] is ready for our next joint. three hours, here's
[00:17:08] what I bring you:
[00:17:12] We remember them when they die, we photograph
[00:17:15] them when they are beautiful, but what do we do while they are alive? The story of the wild horses
[00:17:18] of Livno is much bigger than this week's reports on
[00:17:21] the drought. It opens the question of how much we really care about the nature
[00:17:25] that we are so proud of. In a new day, journalists and
[00:17:29] authors of the film "Wild Horses of Livno, Between Freedom and Neglect,"
[00:17:32] Vanja Stokić and Ajdin
[00:17:34] Kamber, talk about it.
[00:17:37] Can Bosnia and Herzegovina create an economy where knowledge is
[00:17:40] exported and young people don't have to leave to succeed? Do we have
[00:17:44] an education system that can keep up with the needs of the technology industry,
[00:17:48] why is it difficult to retain quality programmers, will artificial
[00:17:51] intelligence make it harder for newcomers to enter the
[00:17:54] profession? About how the technological
[00:17:57] future is being built in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and also where we are making mistakes
[00:18:00] today. In the new day, we talk to Emir
[00:18:03] Bukvić, director of Zira Group.
[00:18:08] Only hours remain until the start of the Sarajevo Film Festival. The festival
[00:18:11] atmosphere is already palpable at every turn. The city is preparing for
[00:18:15] thousands of guests, premieres, screenings, and meetings that
[00:18:19] will transform Sarajevo into the film capital of the region in the coming days.
[00:18:22] We are live at the festival square, from where reporter Nataša
[00:18:26] Kerezović brings the latest details before the opening. Her guest is
[00:18:29] the selector of the documentary program, Rada
[00:18:32] Šešić.
[00:18:35] There is almost no important chapter of
[00:18:38] Bosnian-Herzegovinian cinematography in which he has not left his mark, from the theater stage to films that
[00:18:42] marked the region and won world festivals. Izudin
[00:18:46] Bajrović has been playing some of the most memorable
[00:18:48] characters of our time for four decades. On the eve of the Sarajevo Film
[00:18:52] Festival, where we will see him in three films this year,
[00:18:56] N1 journalist Denaida Bašić Solaković brings an interview with Bajrović
[00:18:59] about acting, film, society, aging, divisions
[00:19:03] and a country that changed along with his roles.
[00:19:09] The musical "Sarajevo, My Dear" in just a few months became
[00:19:12] one of the most successful plays of the National Theatre in Sarajevo
[00:19:16] ever. Performances will soon be available on record. We ask why
[00:19:19] a story about Sarajevo resonates so strongly with the audience.
[00:19:23] Do we miss the city as we remember it, or are we just trying
[00:19:27] to find what we want it to be? These are the questions we open
[00:19:31] with author Zlatan Fazlić Fazla on the eve of his concert
[00:19:34] in the city center.
[00:19:38] And that's still, first just a small amount of content that we're bringing
[00:19:42] you over the next three hours, first of all, let's go to Bihamk to
[00:19:46] check if this Friday, before the weekend, in Bosnia and
[00:19:50] Herzegovina, traffic is flowing smoothly and without problems.
[00:20:08] we will be seeing those images of crowds at Bosnian-Herzegovinian borders, but
[00:20:12] also many other places, we hope they haven't started
[00:20:14] yet. Well, yes, first of all, good morning
[00:20:18] Melika, to you and of course your viewers. During the season on all
[00:20:22] Bosnian-Herzegovinian border crossings, it's a daily occurrence
[00:20:25] to have crowds and long delays. Additional
[00:20:28] delays can also occur due to reconstruction works where
[00:20:32] the traffic regime has been changed. Extremely high temperatures require
[00:20:36] additional caution from all drivers, so if you're traveling in
[00:20:39] the hottest part of the day, take frequent breaks, drive carefully,
[00:20:43] keep your distance between vehicles and also a request for other
[00:20:46] traffic participants to respect all traffic
[00:20:50] signs. From the early morning hours, I've been here since 6 AM and long
[00:20:53] lines of vehicles have already started at numerous border
[00:20:57] crossings, currently the longest delays are at the border crossings
[00:21:01] Izačić, Velika Kladuša, Gradina, Ivanica, Zupci and
[00:21:04] Deleuša, at the Doljani and Gradiška crossings there are no crowds
[00:21:08] at our exit ramps, but there is a long line of vehicles in the space between
[00:21:12] the two border crossings, that is, at the entrance to the Republic
[00:21:15] of Croatia. We are of course following the situation at other border
[00:21:18] crossings, mostly those... zones of delay for now from
[00:21:21] 10 to 30 minutes, as I said, there are numerous
[00:21:25] sections where reconstruction works are underway, so on the

[00:22:31] In the past few days, social networks have been flooded with photos
[00:22:35] and claims that the wild horses of Livno are dying due to drought, while
[00:22:39] the authorities from Livno say there is no reason for panic, one fact
[00:22:43] remains unchanged. The public usually only talks about these animals
[00:22:47] when a problem occurs, and problems have been going on for
[00:22:50] years, even decades, from traffic accidents and poaching
[00:22:53] to the question of who is actually responsible for their protection.
[00:22:57] This is precisely what, among other things, the documentary film
[00:23:01] "Wild Horses of Livno, Between Freedom and Neglect," talks about, which will be
[00:23:05] screened in the coming days as part of the Sarajevo
[00:23:33] we are aware that there is conflicting information coming from Livno,
[00:23:36] primarily it all started on social networks where photos of
[00:23:40] horses dying due to drought began to be shared,
[00:23:43] only for officials from Livno and from the municipality and from the mountaineering
[00:23:47] association to announce yesterday,
[00:23:50] that there is still water in the lakes, but that they will re-check
[00:23:53] the situation at each of them and
[00:23:57] pump water where it is needed.
[00:24:00] You are not from Livno, you are not someone who could check the situation
[00:24:03] on the ground, but you are also certainly, as a journalist and someone
[00:24:07] who is worried about the conflicting nature of all this
[00:24:10] information and the way it spread on social media, right?
[00:24:13] That's right, we are not in
[00:24:17] Livno these days, so we can't know what's happening there. We can only know if
[00:24:21] we go personally to the mountain, hmm, we follow
[00:24:24] various information through social networks, the first thing I saw
[00:24:28] were those photos that disturbed everyone, a horse that
[00:24:31] died, stuck in mud, dry
[00:24:34] watering holes, dry puddles where they drink, and
[00:24:38] it immediately affected me because it reminded me of some scenes from our film in the same
[00:24:42] watering hole we found the skeleton of a young
[00:24:46] foal a few years ago that got stuck, probably also in the mud and
[00:24:50] died, I thought, here it is still
[00:24:53] happening, no one is doing anything, however, then people from
[00:24:57] Livno whom we know, started warning, these photos are several
[00:25:00] years old, mhm, uh, we must keep
[00:25:03] in mind that it is an election year, that people
[00:25:07] use all sorts of methods, likewise
[00:25:09] we must keep in mind that we cannot believe everything we
[00:25:13] read on social networks, for example, I was sent
[00:25:17] a post this morning which is very debatable. The person who
[00:25:21] wrote that post is not well, I know
[00:25:24] that person, she is not well and is not receiving treatment. That person calls
[00:25:27] people to go to Livno, she doesn't live there,
[00:25:31] to go to Livno, mentioning some places on the mountain that don't exist
[00:25:35] and then to carry on their backs water to wild horses to
[00:25:38] water them, thousands of people are
[00:25:41] responding, people from Croatia are writing that they will come and
[00:25:45] it's really a huge paranoia that has
[00:25:48] been created. I don't know if there is water up there or not,
[00:25:52] but I see that people from Livno, whom I trust,
[00:25:55] my colleagues from Livno are sharing videos that there is water,
[00:25:59] so don't believe everything, don't
[00:26:03] fall for pre-election tricks, nor for anyone's schizophrenic
[00:26:06] posts, yes, including hikers, and they were the ones who yesterday,
[00:26:10] among others, confirmed that everything is as
[00:26:14] it should be, but here, that is the situation, we won't talk much about
[00:26:17] it anyway, but it has exposed an additional problem, we all know
[00:26:21] what usually happens, how many problems are associated
[00:26:24] with the situation, the condition in which the Livno,
[00:26:28] Livno wild horses live, but something like this was needed
[00:26:31] for us all to jump on this and
[00:26:34] get caught up, regardless of the fact that we might not even know what the correct
[00:26:37] way to treat them is, how much that somehow disturbs
[00:26:41] you as journalists in a certain way, but it also tells
[00:26:44] you about the state of society, yes,
[00:26:48] I mean, to some extent, people's behavior is understandable, people
[00:26:51] are really sensitive to animal suffering, so
[00:26:54] but as Ivanja herself mentions, you should always go
[00:26:57] to the source first, not believe everything you see
[00:27:01] and so on. And that is a problem, they are just one example
[00:27:05] of a multitude of problems in this country, so only when something happens
[00:27:09] does some, I don't know, fuss arise and an attempt is made
[00:27:13] to help in some way, but that lasts a couple of days until the next case, until
[00:27:16] a fire, until this, until that, whatever is already happening, uh, I think
[00:27:20] there isn't a person in Bosnia and Herzegovina who hasn't heard of those Livno wild horses, so
[00:27:24] those are herds of approximately a thousand, and maybe even more
[00:27:27] wild horses that roam freely in those expanses, which were released there
[00:27:31] in the 70s of the last century, they are truly
[00:27:34] wonderful, fascinating animals, it's beautiful to see them,
[00:27:38] mm, an opportunity and an excellent one, for example, for Livno and the Livno
[00:27:42] region, with the caveat that one should be careful not to go too far into
[00:27:45] the variant of mass tourism expansion, because that could be
[00:27:48] this, indeed, a problem,
[00:27:51] mm, the horses are beautiful, nature is beautiful, but it also brings
[00:27:55] a lot of other problems that we mentioned at the very beginning,
[00:27:58] so the variant of poachers who are very active, so...
[00:28:02] So, for about two years we actively filmed that
[00:28:06] area and we saw tens of horses with ropes,
[00:28:09] ligatures, people sent us, this, so people come from
[00:28:12] surrounding places, some maybe even from Livno, who
[00:28:16] use different methods, with ropes, they try
[00:28:19] to tie up a horse, when they tie it up, of course, if
[00:28:23] the horse stays there, they take it further, most often it ends up as meat, food,
[00:28:26] dog food, who knows what else all, this is
[00:28:30] a current, acute problem that needs to be
[00:28:33] urgently solved, some of the horses are freed and you see, I don't
[00:28:37] know, a horse limping there with an injured
[00:28:40] leg dragging a rope, uh,
[00:28:44] horses with broken legs, as we know, a horse, when it breaks a leg, it can't heal anymore,
[00:28:47] so there are various problems there, and besides poachers, we also have
[00:28:51] the problem with water, I mean, drought is problematic everywhere,
[00:28:55] climate changes are present, and there will be more and more of that, and we need to think
[00:28:59] ahead, we need to start now or
[00:29:02] at the latest, clean mud, of garbage and all that,
[00:29:05] plug the holes if they have any and organize,
[00:29:08] I mean, that's a matter for local authorities,
[00:29:11] but also higher levels, in the end, but no one wants to tackle that
[00:29:15] and that's an example of what happens later, we can go into detail about the film,
[00:29:19] that all those problems, we encountered them, encountered
[00:29:23] them while we were filming the movie, all those problems, simply no one wants to tackle
[00:29:26] them and everyone shifted responsibility to each other, like a bunch of other problems,
[00:29:30] so what is just a symptom of what is
[00:29:32] happening in our country, that now when we ask who is generally responsible for the care of these
[00:29:36] horses, practically no one, yes, yes, so,
[00:29:40] let's go back to your film, you didn't plan to shoot it, it wasn't a
[00:29:43] long-planned project that you had previously
[00:29:46] researched, it happened to you, if it was, if there is
[00:29:50] a coincidence, the film practically happened
[00:29:54] to you, can you remind us how, what problem you then
[00:29:57] noticed, and besides what Ajdin mentions, what
[00:30:01] surprised you as someone who, as a journalist,
[00:30:05] just enters into some filming that
[00:30:08] he didn't believe or even think would happen earlier, about a problem that
[00:30:12] he hadn't previously researched,
[00:30:14] that's right, this film wasn't planned, it just happened,
[00:30:18] by chance, we were in Livno that year, it's been
[00:30:22] two, three years now, we were filming another film about quail
[00:30:25] poaching and we had colleagues from
[00:30:29] Italy and the Netherlands with us, as we had been in the Livno
[00:30:33] field for days, chasing poachers,
[00:30:36] uh, we saw a lot of ugly things, even had some trouble
[00:30:39] with poachers and so our colleagues leave, we wanted to show them
[00:30:43] something beautiful, so that they leave with only that image in their heads
[00:30:47] and we went to the mountain to an old woman's house where horses
[00:30:51] often are, to show them horses, however, the
[00:30:55] herd we expected wasn't there, but there was one injured horse and he was
[00:30:59] standing.
