[00:00:00] an anticyclone from the north, and until it is slightly disturbed, that will happen
[00:00:03] at the beginning of next week, the weather will not change significantly, so today
[00:00:07] in the rest of the day in the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina it will be clear,
[00:00:11] we see that actually on the map there are almost no clouds at all,
[00:00:15] we won't even have a little cloud in the sky, so the air temperatures
[00:00:18] will again climb to high numbers in the afternoon, perhaps a little
[00:00:22] more pleasant than a few days ago, let's say today it won't reach
[00:00:25] 40 anywhere, but in the Mostar area, where the highest
[00:00:28] temperature is expected, with... how to reach a hot 37, in
[00:00:32] Bosnia mostly between 30 and 33, there will be some
[00:00:36] light north-easterly wind that will provide a breath of
[00:00:39] freshness. As for the weekend, as I said at the beginning,
[00:00:42] dry, sunny and hot, air
[00:00:46] temperatures will be one or two degrees higher, so Bosnia should again
[00:00:50] be cooking at around 35 during the weekend. A change
[00:00:54] in weather is certain on Monday in the second half of the day and Tuesday
[00:00:57] night when a cold front should arrive. with local
[00:01:00] thunderstorms and refreshment, this will be felt more
[00:01:04] in Bosnia than in the south, but this
[00:01:07] change at the beginning of this week will still somewhat
[00:01:10] stifle these heats and this summer, so next week in general
[00:01:14] should still be temperature- wise more pleasant than this one.
[00:01:34] unfortunately, raging across the region, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the situation in Konjic is
[00:01:37] still difficult, in neighboring Croatia since last night
[00:01:41] the most difficult situation is in Omiš, where residents and
[00:01:44] tourists have been evacuated, the Prime Minister of Croatia, Andrej Plenković, has announced a visit, so
[00:01:48] we will now join
[00:02:10] You watched the new day, a friend of the show,
[00:02:13] Medicana Health Group.
[00:02:36] Dingač, or rather, four Canadairs will now be available to us, we currently
[00:02:39] have 150 firefighters here on
[00:02:43] the ground, which is all
[00:02:46] the return technique that
[00:02:48] with images of the is needed, we are working now, but believe me, we cannot guarantee anything,
[00:02:51] currently the most important thing is to stop it towards the houses, this morning there was
[00:02:55] defending houses, thank God nothing was destroyed, but we must be on
[00:02:58] alert, we cannot guarantee anything. Do you already know what
[00:03:02] the potential causes are, how did this
[00:03:05] happen, how clearly, you told us from
[00:03:08] the beginning that the wind is one
[00:03:11] many elements of the biggest problems, but do you know anything about
[00:03:13] how this fire happened, so quickly after
[00:03:16] Amisch, I don't know, I really don't know, we had a fire last night
[00:03:20] in the hunting ground which was successfully
[00:03:23] extinguished, so after the peddlers came this one
[00:03:27] in the rabbits. So
[00:03:30] I don't know what the cause is, we just
[00:03:33] assume, we just assume one thing, that this was not caused
[00:03:37] by a human. Sir, thank
[00:03:40] you very much for this conversation, I know
[00:03:42] you have to go and instruct new firefighters to go to work, we wish you a lot of luck
[00:03:46] in your work,
[00:03:49] goodbye,
[00:03:50] thank you.
[00:04:08] We have just learned that President Milanović is also coming to Omiš
[00:04:11] at 2
[00:04:13] p.m. We will listen to what the
[00:04:17] firefighters from Split said earlier.
[00:04:20] Well, there were big fires, this one by area of 1 hectare is
[00:04:24] really a big fire, but what's worst, it went
[00:04:27] all through houses, through settlements and. That's the problem, and otherwise, as
[00:04:31] far as fires are concerned, here's Žnovnica, Split
[00:04:35] 2017. Brač,
[00:04:38] Pelješac, Korčula 98. 2011.
[00:04:41] There was a lot of that, but this was really one of the most
[00:04:45] and on the perhaps the most demanding, here are my eyes tonight, they are full
[00:04:47] of, actually they are totally
[00:04:51] people have arrived in Split, bloody from smoke, how was it to work tonight, how difficult was it for our
[00:04:55] viewers to know, how difficult it is to work in such a
[00:04:58] terrain in... Those large flames you were
[00:05:02] surrounded by? Well, you can't protect yourself from smoke, from smoke, from heat,
[00:05:06] meaning we all have equipment, we have uniforms, we have helmets, we have visors,
[00:05:09] we have, but it's a large amount of smoke, you're too close. and these
[00:05:13] temperatures broke a few capillaries, but that's how
[00:05:16] it is, it will last a few days and pass, there were dozens
[00:05:20] of firefighters who requested eye rinsing, unfortunately they are like
[00:05:24] me, we have one firefighter who has
[00:05:27] a perforated eardrum and well, but that's for a fire like this, over
[00:05:31] 200 people, that's a firefighter I helped
[00:05:34] and brought him to the ambulance vehicle, yes he was
[00:05:38] really, really in a painful situation, it hurt him
[00:05:42] a lot. But it hurts people who have lost
[00:05:45] their property the most, you helped them defend their houses, how did that look, what
[00:05:49] do you say to all that when you saw those people fighting,
[00:05:53] fighting with the fire, trying to save their property? Well, I don't
[00:05:56] have much to say, you know, it's hard for me too, I cry when I see that, you work all night
[00:06:00] then in the morning when you sum everything up, it seems like you
[00:06:03] did a great job, we did the maximum we could, there are a lot of
[00:06:07] objects, but then when we sum everything up,
[00:06:10] what rags, what thread. "So many objects, so many
[00:06:14] vehicles, so many yards, so many of everything,
[00:06:18] about 30 injured people, that's something
[00:06:20] that hurts all of us together, so the situation tonight
[00:06:24] was not good, but the situation for now
[00:06:28] is good, you succeeded, but the fire also reached
[00:06:31] the city itself, Omiš,
[00:06:34] well, it reached Omiš, but it's hard to defend these
[00:06:38] suburban settlements, because they are
[00:06:41] houses, everyone has a piece of land and built something, and the road is narrow,
[00:06:45] but again, thanks to the police, they did a great job and everything
[00:06:48] we needed to evacuate in a very short
[00:06:52] time, they took care of the people, the Red Cross
[00:06:55] also immediately prepared, people had somewhere to go, the port authority
[00:06:59] with boats, so everyone made themselves available
[00:07:03] and then we didn't have any problems, really, with this fire, considering
[00:07:06] how big it is, how many people there were, over
[00:07:09] 60 vehicles, we didn't
[00:07:13] get into a situation where we couldn't get to the fire, although
[00:07:17] the streets are narrow, but most citizens moved their vehicles in
[00:07:20] time, also, people had
[00:07:24] communication to houses and everything, so it's simply
[00:07:27] somehow unreal that with such a large fire with such intensity of work, not
[00:07:31] once without water, we needed a floor and
[00:07:35] the tanker was a little late or something, but we really had communication, so
[00:07:39] people were quite obedient and listened to the
[00:07:42] instructions and that's why it's like that.
[00:07:56] We are now returning to the topic of Gospić, Ms. Dušica
[00:07:59] Radojčić, President of the Environmental Protection Committee, is joining me
[00:08:03] in the program. Ms. Radojčić, welcome to
[00:08:06] N1. Good day, good day.
[00:08:10] Let's start with the fact that
[00:08:12] the committee was canceled today, or rather postponed until
[00:08:16] Monday, given these latest events
[00:08:19] in Omiš with the fires, could you briefly
[00:08:23] comment on the adoption of such a
[00:08:25] decision? Well, that wasn't really a
[00:08:29] decision, but given this unprecedented tragedy
[00:08:32] that hit Omiš and further south,
[00:08:36] it's simply an act of
[00:08:38] respect, allow me to express solidarity with all those
[00:08:42] affected by this tragedy,
[00:08:45] yes,
[00:08:47] for the umpteenth time I congratulate the self-sacrifice
[00:08:50] of firefighters, to send a message
[00:08:53] to call on the government to do everything possible to ease
[00:08:56] this tragedy for these people,
[00:09:00] so that was the reason why I
[00:09:04] decided, even though some members of the committee and other
[00:09:07] representatives had already set off like me, but
[00:09:10] I really think that was the best decision
[00:09:14] at this moment, the committee meeting is postponed until
[00:09:17] Monday at 4 p.m., so at the same time in
[00:09:21] the same place in Gospić,
[00:09:24] we will follow what happens with
[00:09:27] the fire, we hope that it will be
[00:09:31] contained as soon as possible,
[00:09:34] stopped, because as I said, my thoughts are with
[00:09:37] those people who are now suffering terribly,
[00:09:41] clearly, the fires continue in Pelješac, now
[00:09:45] a new battle stands before the firefighters,
[00:09:49] Ms. Radojčić,
[00:09:51] the second tragedy, we can say, which also
[00:09:55] affects Croatia in recent days, is this ecological
[00:09:58] disaster in Gospić about which this
[00:10:01] committee was supposed to be, my colleague from
[00:10:04] the committee, Mr. Lacković, was in my
[00:10:07] program earlier, and actually some of the conclusions
[00:10:10] of our conversation and before
[00:10:12] this originally planned session today were
[00:10:16] that he says it's incredible that so
[00:10:20] many people somehow knew some elements of this
[00:10:23] story that it became very
[00:10:26] topical in the past week
[00:10:30] and here it is, it came into such a focus of
[00:10:33] the Croatian public, but also
[00:10:35] politics.
[00:10:38] Yes, I would say that this focus, that this
[00:10:42] attention is primarily due to the members of the Citizens' Initiative
[00:10:45] Gospić Our Home, without whom there would
[00:10:48] not be so much attention from politics on the case.
[00:10:52] You know that famous one, some institutions do their
[00:10:55] job, which is often used when big problems like
[00:10:59] this one occur, however, in this case it is completely clear that institutions did
[00:11:03] not do their job, how is it possible that trucks after
[00:11:06] trucks for months and years brought waste to a facility
[00:11:10] that was supposed to deal with recovery, recycling, and
[00:11:14] it was clear to anyone who peeked into the circle of that abandoned
[00:11:17] factory, or PPK, former PPK Velebit, that
[00:11:21] there is not a single machine for processing and production
[00:11:25] of plastic products, but that's not the only problem, in 2019,
[00:11:29] the then competent minister
[00:11:33] Ćorić changed the law, he called it
[00:11:36] administrative relief and abolished
[00:11:40] the obligation of waste importers
[00:11:43] to inform the State Inspectorate about every shipment.
[00:11:47] pošici.
[00:11:49] Uh, we now know what kind of pollution is at
[00:11:55] severe soil contamination,
[00:11:58] groundwater pollution, PFAS
[00:12:01] compounds downstream of the landfill. It is now necessary
[00:12:04] to determine whether wells
[00:12:07] or water supply systems downstream are contaminated.
[00:12:11] Continuous and frequent monitoring must be carried out. It is necessary
[00:12:14] to see if biomonitoring of the population was necessary.
[00:12:18] So these are all topics that we
[00:12:21] will discuss at the committee meeting on Monday. We are also asking
[00:12:25] for concrete answers, plans and deadlines
[00:12:28] from the Minister of Health and the Minister of Environmental
[00:12:32] Protection. The majority of the
[00:12:36] committee requested that the Chief State
[00:12:40] Attorney, the Deputy Chief State Inspector,
[00:12:43] the Director of the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund,
[00:12:47] the Prefect of Lika-Senj County, and the Mayor of Gospić be present
[00:12:51] at the session. I hope I have pronounced
[00:12:55] everything correctly, so I really hope for a
[00:12:58] constructive discussion, I hope there will be no
[00:13:01] usual deviation from the topic, because we are going to Gospić
[00:13:04] precisely because of the citizens of Lika so that they can get
[00:13:08] answers to all the questions they still haven't received answers to,
[00:13:11] and because their health is the most important thing, concern for their
[00:13:15] health, we had the opportunity to hear, is great, is great, some
[00:13:19] have been buying water in bottles for a
[00:13:22] long time, some who have... or
[00:13:25] in Gospić and the surrounding area because of the healthy
[00:13:28] environment, clean nature, peaceful life, say
[00:13:31] that they are now planning to leave, so there are
[00:13:36] that, many concerns,
[00:13:40] if we want to solve those concerns, we must as
[00:13:43] soon as possible, the authorities must make an effort to remove the
[00:13:47] waste from the site as soon as possible
[00:13:50] and take all preventive measures so that
[00:13:53] the pollution does not spread and so that citizens can be sure that
[00:13:57] their health, both short-term and especially
[00:14:00] long-term, is not threatened. Just one more thing for
[00:14:03] the end, Ms. Radojčić, you said everything you expect from
[00:14:07] that committee meeting on
[00:14:10] Monday in terms of who will come, in terms of
[00:14:13] constructiveness, however, as you said at the
[00:14:17] beginning of this conversation, the phrase "let the institutions
[00:14:21] do their job," likewise whenever some disaster happens
[00:14:25] or some big problem, then likewise work is done on
[00:14:29] concretizing plans with some similar
[00:14:32] statements, it is clear that this is what
[00:14:36] is needed in the coming period, what you, as a
[00:14:39] committee, but also
[00:14:43] as a member of an
[00:14:46] opposition party, can expect from
[00:14:49] the ruling party in terms of resignations, demands
[00:14:53] for resignations, or some more
[00:14:57] concrete steps, if we are already talking about concretizing more
[00:14:59] concrete actions?
[00:15:02] Well, as the president of the committee, I did what was within my
[00:15:06] jurisdiction and what the parliamentary procedure allows, that is a public
[00:15:10] hearing, I proposed that the public
[00:15:13] hearing be voted on at the committee meeting, since I cannot
[00:15:17] decide on it alone, but the committee
[00:15:20] majority must decide, by which a public hearing differs from
[00:15:23] a usual committee meeting. So a public hearing is a much
[00:15:27] stronger democratic instrument
[00:15:30] for the control of the legislative power over
[00:15:32] the executive,
[00:15:35] a public hearing serves to precisely
[00:15:38] determine responsibility so that everyone has the opportunity
[00:15:42] to ask and directly get
[00:15:44] that, I said before how it is possible and why regulations
[00:15:48] were changed, immediately after those changes in regulations, this
[00:15:51] uncontrolled import of hazardous
[00:15:55] waste from mostly Italy and Slovenia happened, we need
[00:15:59] to get an answer what the customs administration was doing, how come
[00:16:02] no imported shipment was controlled, why wasn't the
[00:16:05] warehouse controlled? "What was the State
[00:16:08] Inspectorate doing? When the first analyses
[00:16:12] of waste showed that it was
[00:16:15] hazardous waste, waste with potentially significant
[00:16:19] negative impact on the environment and health, why wasn't
[00:16:23] the public alarmed, why did we have to
[00:16:26] wait almost two years for it, because these analyses for
[00:16:30] different clients were done in 2024 and
[00:16:33] 2025 and 2026. In
[00:16:37] 2025, at one session of the Environmental Protection
[00:16:40] Committee, I asked the representative of the State Inspectorate
[00:16:44] why they had not published the results
[00:16:48] of the waste analysis. He told me that
[00:16:51] the waste analyses at that time did not show that
[00:16:55] there was any problem with that waste. So these are all
[00:16:58] questions that we should get answers to
[00:17:01] at the public hearing. The question of political
[00:17:04] responsibility is so
[00:17:08] obvious and direct, given that none of this could have
[00:17:12] happened if the system had functioned, Prime Minister
[00:17:16] Plenković is personally responsible for appointing people who are
[00:17:19] the heads of that system, we know that the
[00:17:23] person who was at the head of the State Inspectorate
[00:17:26] is suspected of corruption, and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković appointed
[00:17:30] her several times to that
[00:17:32] position, the system is dysfunctional,
[00:17:35] oversight does not function, that is actually the reason
[00:17:39] why it is possible that for years hundreds
[00:17:42] and hundreds of trucks bring hazardous waste and no one
[00:17:46] asks what is happening there, so political
[00:17:49] responsibility is truly obvious and crucial.
[00:17:52] Ms. Radojčić, thank you for
[00:17:56] this guest appearance and conversation, this was
[00:17:59] Dušica Radojčić, President of the Environmental Protection Committee.
[00:18:02] Thank you for your interest and a kind
[00:18:06] regards.
[00:18:23] we are now going live meeting in
[00:18:27] Omiš, we will continue, here
[00:18:31] it is, we will not give up, that is for sure, thank you
[00:18:33] all,
[00:18:37] thank you. Dear
[00:18:38] Mayor.
[00:18:42] Here, dear Prime Minister,
[00:18:45] representatives, Minister, Minister, you have all
[00:18:48] heard first-hand from the relevant services,
[00:18:52] the competent services, how this turbulent
[00:18:55] night, this turbulent morning unfolded.
[00:18:58] And, here, please, thank you once again, dear
[00:19:02] President, to you and the Vice-Presidents, we were in contact
[00:19:05] all night.
[00:19:08] and in communication, in conversation and here, thank you very much
[00:19:12] at the very end,
[00:19:16] thank you very much, Prefect Boban, dear
[00:19:19] Mayor Močić, Chief Fire
[00:19:22] Commander, Mr. Tucaković, esteemed
[00:19:25] Vice-Presidents of the Government, Minister, Ministers,
[00:19:28] members of the staff, representatives of KBC
[00:19:31] Split, public voluntary
[00:19:35] firefighting units of Croatia. police, Red
[00:19:39] Cross, HEP, Port
[00:19:42] Authority, I also greet the representatives of the Croatian
[00:19:45] Army who helped last night,
[00:19:48] I want to first of all express
[00:19:51] sympathy and regret for this large fire that
[00:19:55] broke out last night in Lopi Rogoznica, it spread
[00:19:58] towards Omiš, towards
[00:20:01] Split to Mimice in the direction
[00:20:04] of Makarska, we were indeed connected all evening and all night and
[00:20:08] this morning, uh, what is
[00:20:11] most important, according to what we see now, for now there are no
[00:20:15] confirmed human casualties, I think that is one of the best
[00:20:19] news in such a devastating, fast-moving fire. What
[00:20:22] is
[00:20:24] certainly up to us as the government is to thank
[00:20:28] first of all all the firefighters, both public and
[00:20:31] voluntary, here from Omiš, from Split-Dalmatia
[00:20:34] County, Dubrovnik-Neretva, Šibenik.
[00:20:37] Lika-Senj, Zadar, their colleagues who
[00:20:41] based on the orders of the Chief Fire Commander came
[00:20:45] here from Krapina-Zagorje
[00:20:47] County, from Koprivnica- Križevci. Slavonia,
[00:20:51] Bjelovar-Bilogora, the city of Zagreb, Zagreb County,
[00:20:55] this truly confirms that the entire system, based on
[00:20:59] the plan that the government adopted in
[00:21:02] February and the entire firefighting
[00:21:05] season, is highly integrated, that all
[00:21:07] components of homeland security
[00:21:11] are engaged, that mutual coordination and cooperation
[00:21:14] are excellent, I thank of course all of you who
[00:21:18] were here last night saving our citizens, saving
[00:21:22] houses, this was one of the worst fires we have
[00:21:25] encountered in recent years and we hope
[00:21:29] that all those who were injured will receive
[00:21:32] adequate care, which of course Ms. Ivalja said that
[00:21:35] they will recover, we are here to provide support
[00:21:39] to Omiš, to the citizens of Omiš after you made
[00:21:43] the decision on a major disaster, the government will, as it always does in
[00:21:46] such situations, make decisions on
[00:21:50] support for the county, support for the city,
[00:21:53] Mayor Močić in all aspects, all
[00:21:57] services are engaged and available, of course we will
[00:22:01] provide appropriate financial support to normalize
[00:22:04] things and these great damages that have, as can already
[00:22:08] be seen from the footage, occurred, that they
[00:22:11] all together be repaired,
[00:22:14] the Minister of Tourism and the leaders of the Croatian Tourist
[00:22:17] Board will contribute tourists who were
[00:22:21] also threatened here, who are perhaps
[00:22:24] now accommodated in one of the halls here in the sports hall
[00:22:28] in Omiš or in Gripa in Split,
[00:22:32] to find alternative accommodation, to help all those
[00:22:35] who need to get primarily to the facilities where they were
[00:22:39] accommodated here in the area
[00:22:42] of Omiš. We have made huge strides
[00:22:45] in the past ten years in strengthening the Croatian
[00:22:48] Fire Association,
[00:22:52] the entire homeland security system, almost
[00:22:56] 600 million euros have been invested, I think this is reflected in such
[00:22:59] high-quality, high-quality engagement,
[00:23:03] full capacities of the air forces, so in this fire
[00:23:07] season, the Croatian army
[00:23:10] with its capacities and Canadairs, so
[00:23:14] all six aircraft were in function, we have shown that
[00:23:18] we have the ability to help others
[00:23:20] when they are in distress, whether it is this fire in France or
[00:23:23] situations that are almost regular
[00:23:27] crossing into Bosnia and Herzegovina and helping people there, it will be the same
[00:23:31] here and I believe that it is exactly the same currently in Pelješac, all four
[00:23:34] Canadairs, Mr. Tucaković, which arrived early
[00:23:38] this morning in Omiš, are now in the Pelješac area,
[00:23:42] as they worked in Pučišća on Brač, uh,
[00:23:45] the most important thing is to help those who are in distress, so that
[00:23:49] here in Omiš understand that they are not alone, that the government is with
[00:23:53] them, that the state is there, that all services are available
[00:23:56] and I am sure that we will follow this
[00:23:59] work, participate in the maximum way and try to
[00:24:03] eliminate the consequences of this fire
[00:24:06] which was indeed, in terms of the speed of its development, incredibly
[00:24:10] swift, we were here until 3:00 AM this morning
[00:24:14] in contact, I must admit that I had a realistic picture and that is why all
[00:24:18] six members of the government are here this morning.
[00:24:21] we will do everything necessary to help the people of Omiš
[00:24:24] and all those who unfortunately suffered in this
[00:24:28] earthquake.
[00:24:33] Thank you very much, dear Prime Minister, once again the same.
[00:24:52] We could hear the Prime Minister's address at the meeting in
[00:24:55] Amiša, six government members are in
[00:24:58] Amiša, says Prime Minister Plenković,
[00:25:02] they are working to help in further
[00:25:04] fire remediation, and support for Amiša has started to arrive from
[00:25:08] all sides, the city of Split responded by organizing
[00:25:11] an reception center in the large hall of the Gripa sports center in
[00:25:15] Split. Immediately after that we are connecting with the Mayor
[00:25:18] of Split Tomislav.

[00:26:43] Šuta, it is clear that this area
[00:26:47] near Split, where the fire was,
[00:26:50] all the land in Croatia is dry from this
[00:26:53] drought that was, here it is, since this morning a big fire
[00:26:56] and in Pelješac, yesterday on Brač, you said
[00:27:00] that you will know if something is needed. for help for
[00:27:03] evacuees, but is there any way to prepare
[00:27:06] for, God forbid, a new outbreak of fire that we saw last night
[00:27:10] how destructive it can be? for such
[00:27:13] situations, the city of Split, we have our
[00:27:17] headquarters, all protocols that are established
[00:27:21] such protocols, a headquarters that
[00:27:24] is normally regulated and reacts in
[00:27:28] such situations has given an answer to everything, we

[00:27:35] the city level, Split-Dalmatia County, of course
[00:27:38] at the national level, each of us had to go through such training
[00:27:41] and I am convinced that for
[00:27:45] all challenges that exist, we will be ready, but
[00:27:49] certainly a big thank you to all our fellow citizens and all those who
[00:27:53] offered help. Mr. Šuta,

[00:28:03] in the distribution of aid, the evacuation itself and
[00:28:07] everything else, what is the situation now? We
[00:28:11] are currently not, you are live on the program
[00:28:14] in the area around the fire site,
[00:28:17] are the roads open, is the fire still
[00:28:20] neutralized as it was the case
[00:28:23] this morning? I, as far as I got information
[00:28:27] that the situation is stable, but I really don't know the details
[00:28:30] at this moment, it's difficult. It is to talk about it, mm,
[00:28:34] all authorities are informing
[00:28:37] the public about it, but it is important that there is a reaction
[00:28:41] that everything that needs to be enabled as
[00:28:45] help, that we are on track, Mr.

[00:28:55] Tomislav Šuta. Thank
[00:28:57] you.
[00:29:14] The fire we are following, which broke out last night in Lokver Ogoznica, carried by strong
[00:29:18] winds during the night, broke through all the way to Omiš. The fire devoured
[00:29:22] houses and cars, people were evacuated by road
[00:29:25] and sea, the injured were taken care of at the Clinical Hospital Center
[00:29:28] Split. More than 300 firefighters fought the fire all night.
[00:29:32] With the first light, air forces were also
[00:29:36] included in the extinguishing, we also spoke with people from the shelters who found themselves
[00:29:39] there last night and
[00:29:42] I was in my house, the guests had all
[00:29:45] left, but I stuck to it, I thought
[00:29:49] it wouldn't be so dangerous, I said the captain
[00:29:51] is the last to leave the ship, and when my cousin
[00:29:55] came out and screamed Ljubice, come on,
[00:29:57] she says, there are sparks flying in the yard, I
[00:30:01] then ran out, the house was left unlocked,
[00:30:05] I grabbed my purse, look how I started and
[00:30:09] we got in the car and quickly got on the main road down
[00:30:12] there and drove maybe 5 meters on the main road
[00:30:15] in that neither left nor right nor forward nor back and when I
[00:30:19] looked behind me, the entrance to the ramp was already burning, one burning in
[00:30:23] this other in front of my house, where a new house
[00:30:27] was being built, and so we continued to
[00:30:30] the small port. The fire had already
[00:30:33] reached us, and when we were there, it moved
[00:30:37] to the other side, the fire is burning on both sides, I'm driving
[00:30:41] the car, my foot is just like this on the
[00:30:44] accelerator
[00:30:47] brake, one car hits,
[00:30:51] scratches me it goes from that lane to this one,
[00:30:55] now one lane goes, now another goes, they are changing lanes, the fire
[00:30:58] is licking from one side and the other.
