[00:00:01] A new day begins, friend of the show
[00:00:04] Medicana Health Group.
[00:01:07] Tuesday we will breathe, it will be
[00:03:15] beautiful areas are
[00:03:18] affected by fires in this period throughout
[00:03:21] the region, we will talk about fires at the very
[00:03:25] the festival is one beginning of our show, fires in Bosnia and Herzegovina are also not
[00:03:28] subsiding, the most dramatic situation is in the area of Džepska Planina towards the settlement
[00:03:32] of Brđani near Konjic, forests and low
[00:03:35] vegetation are disappearing in flames for days. In the first 13
[00:03:38] days of August alone, violent detection systems recorded
[00:03:42] 1,292 fire points throughout Bosnia and
[00:03:45] Herzegovina. Open fires are exhausting the region, in
[00:03:49] Croatian mountains in the Dinaric area near Zadar on Pelješac,
[00:03:52] part of Omiš is particularly endangered without electricity. In the Omiš fire,
[00:03:56] a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina died. Four injured people.
[00:04:00] in the fire near D-Omiš were transferred for further treatment to Zagreb, all of them are
[00:04:04] in life-threatening condition and doctors are fighting for their lives. Firefighters are on the ground around
[00:04:08] Zadar trying to defend residential buildings and
[00:04:11] stop the spread of the fire. Due to the situation,
[00:04:14] the condition of settlements near the fire site is being particularly monitored.
[00:04:18] Firefighters will remain on the ground, and citizens are urged
[00:04:21] to be careful and adhere to the instructions of the competent
[00:04:25] services.
[00:04:29] I'm afraid every day. I'm there to
[00:04:32] do you think about most, from that rush, the organization is weak globally, the organization is
[00:04:34] weak, I've been sending messages to people here this morning to bring
[00:04:37] me a jeep
[00:04:40] ahead, because I'm here alone at about
[00:04:44] 300-400
[00:04:46] meters.
[00:04:49] Here we saw, that is, heard that it was burning in Potomje, in the next village,
[00:04:52] so a few of us guys gathered, broke through,
[00:04:56] came and asked what was needed, stretched some hoses, now hold...
[00:05:00] the perimeter, so let's see what God gives, as you can see, the church
[00:05:04] is gone, it reached the graves a little, but for now it hasn't caught the houses,
[00:05:08] so, God grant that everything goes well, well done to
[00:05:12] our... guys who are fighting there, that's it, we came quite
[00:05:15] late, so the main and most dangerous part of the fire
[00:05:19] here was already stopped, so now we are just holding the perimeter easily, this
[00:05:22] here, what little catches fire, has now caught a little stronger on the other side,
[00:05:26] however, we still leave that to
[00:05:29] the professionals, we are here only to
[00:05:31] help.
[00:05:34] 1415 fires are active in
[00:05:38] Serbia in the last eight days, according to the Emergency Situations
[00:05:41] Sector. We will have more information during the new day from
[00:05:45] our reporter Anđela Čolanić, who will be with us
[00:05:48] live from Belgrade. As of yesterday, 10 fires
[00:05:52] are active in Serbia, the most difficult situation is in Deliblatska Peščara, while
[00:05:55] the fire in Gornji Brestovac is under control, stated ZRTS
[00:05:59] Minister of Internal Affairs of Serbia Ivica Dačić. In the municipality of
[00:06:03] Bujanovac, an emergency situation was declared at an urgent meeting of the local
[00:06:07] emergency headquarters. The fire spread from Breznica last night
[00:06:10] towards the villages of Veliki Trnovac, Lopardince and Vrtogoš.
[00:06:14] The area around the former antimony
[00:06:18] mine
[00:06:18] was also affected by the fire.
[00:06:23] On one hand, the most tragic, on the other, the most beautiful
[00:06:27] August story, SFF in
[00:06:30] Sarajevo, the second day of the Sarajevo Film Festival
[00:06:34] brought a film marathon. Yesterday was marked by a masterclass
[00:06:37] held by actor-director Diego Luna, he was presented with the
[00:06:41] Honorary Heart of Sarajevo for outstanding
[00:06:45] contribution to film art at the Open Air Cinema
[00:06:48] Metalac, after which the screening of his film "A Mouthful of
[00:06:52] Ash" began. A coffee with Oscar winner, director Pawel
[00:06:55] Pawlikowski, was also held at the festival square yesterday. Numerous
[00:06:59] actors walked the red carpet, Vanessa Glođo,
[00:07:02] Gordana Boban, Selma Ali Spahić, Izudin Bajerović,
[00:07:06] Alban Ukaj and many others. The Honorary
[00:07:09] Heart of Sarajevo was presented to actress Emily Watson at the National
[00:07:13] Theater last night, after which the film "Breaking the Waves" was shown,
[00:07:16] in which she plays the main role. We will take a look at
[00:07:19] the red carpet again.
[00:07:32] even before the announcement of the content, the weather
[00:07:35] forecast.
[00:07:47] All eyes are on the sky these days and
[00:07:51] rain would mean a lot in many parts
[00:07:55] of the region, let's check the weather forecast, Kristijan Božarov has all the details
[00:07:58] who reports to us from
[00:08:07] yes, that rain is expected, it hasn't
[00:08:10] been there for weeks, there was a little locally. but really dry, dry summer
[00:08:13] throughout the entire Balkans, all of Europe, with these extremely
[00:08:17] high temperatures it's not surprising that we unfortunately have problems with
[00:08:21] energy and with fires and in agriculture, all of that leads
[00:08:24] to one another, but it seems that this strongest
[00:08:28] heatwave will finally slowly subside, a change in weather is ahead
[00:08:32] of us tomorrow at the end of the day, and then probably another one during next
[00:08:35] week, the atmosphere will slowly pick up and there will be
[00:08:39] lower temperatures and some welcome
[00:08:43] rain, it certainly won't fix the overall problems with
[00:08:46] drought that prevail, it would take several such rains and more days for
[00:08:50] them to fall, but give what you can and everything that falls will be
[00:08:53] good, but today is still sunny, hot, air
[00:08:57] temperatures 30 to 35 and even more Celsius
[00:09:00] degrees, that change will only arrive tomorrow evening, and why,
[00:09:04] we will see on this synoptic map, namely the anticyclone, a field of clear skies,
[00:09:08] heat that is above us, is slowly retreating from our
[00:09:11] area towards... the east northeast, and another
[00:09:14] anticyclone is far to the west, between the two, a path
[00:09:18] opens for more humid, fresher air originating from the Atlantic and it will descend towards
[00:09:21] our area tomorrow during Tuesday, so that will then
[00:09:25] bring a change in weather, but today there are no significant
[00:09:28] news yet, in Croatia in Bosnia and Herzegovina, actually
[00:09:32] throughout the entire region, dry, sunny,
[00:09:35] hot weather will prevail, just a little daily cloudiness is possible mainly in
[00:09:39] mountainous areas where the possibility of some isolated
[00:09:43] afternoon shower is not entirely excluded, but in principle it is still
[00:09:47] extremely sunny and hot weather today, let's look at
[00:09:50] the temperatures that will be during the afternoon in Croatia mostly
[00:09:53] between 32 and 36°C, with
[00:09:57] mostly light wind on land, predominantly easterly or
[00:10:00] southeasterly, occasionally moderate southwesterly wind
[00:10:04] along the Adriatic coast. It will be hot in Bosnia and
[00:10:07] Herzegovina, similar numbers as yesterday, mostly between
[00:10:10] 32 and 30 7 degrees Celsius,
[00:10:14] I remind you, we measure these temperatures in the shade at 2 m height above
[00:10:18] a grassy surface, in the sun it is of course even warmer, and
[00:10:22] here the wind will be mostly light it will not provide any significant
[00:10:25] relief, we can look at the development
[00:10:29] of events for tomorrow, for the next days, tomorrow the day still starts
[00:10:32] hot, humid, mostly dry, but clouds will gradually
[00:10:36] accumulate from the north, they should bring the first
[00:10:39] thunderstorms to the northern Adriatic, to Gorski Kotar
[00:10:43] and to the northwest of inland Croatia, by tomorrow afternoon, then
[00:10:47] towards the evening that change will spread relatively quickly
[00:10:51] to Slavonia, to northwestern Bosnia, then
[00:10:54] to... Dalmatia, only on Tuesday night and Tuesday morning to
[00:10:58] Herzegovina, so we will all get our turn,
[00:11:00] at the same time, the change begins tomorrow afternoon and by Tuesday
[00:11:04] morning it will affect the entire area, it will bring
[00:11:08] rain and thunderstorms, strong winds in places,
[00:11:10] a summer storm is also possible after so much heat, I would not
[00:11:14] be surprised if there is unfortunately some damage from the storm, let's hope
[00:11:18] that the change will come as peacefully as possible and what is important
[00:11:21] to everyone besides the rain that will fall in most areas, there will be a
[00:11:25] significant cooling, temperatures will still be equally high as
[00:11:29] today, then on
[00:11:32] 10° colder on land, around five degrees
[00:11:35] less on the Adriatic and in Herzegovina, that relief will be felt everywhere,
[00:11:39] that change in weather, I must say, this is not the end of summer, this is
[00:11:42] a relief, a welcome refreshment with rain, already
[00:11:46] in the middle of the week we will again have a few dry, sunny, warmer days,
[00:11:49] temperatures will again go around or above 30, so there will still be plenty
[00:11:53] of summer weather, but... then towards the end of next week
[00:11:56] another front is certain that could bring rain, showers,
[00:12:00] refreshment again, so it will now be somewhat
[00:12:03] more dynamic weather, the situation with drought will
[00:12:07] slowly improve, it will no longer be as
[00:12:51] the Mayor of Sarajevo, Samir Avdić. How he sees the
[00:12:55] development of the capital today, what are the biggest challenges, but also opportunities for
[00:12:58] Sarajevo.
[00:14:06] bring additional health challenges, especially when it comes to
[00:14:09] people with heart and chronic illnesses. We talk to
[00:14:12] Dr. Jasmina Ćorović Kuburović, internal medicine specialist
[00:14:16] and cardiology
[00:14:18] subspecialist.
[00:15:02] "we are also checking the situation on the roads and border crossings, let's go to Bihamk where
[00:15:14] occurred on the main road Zenica-Doboj in
[00:15:17] the town of Želeća in Žepče, traffic is flowing alternately
[00:15:21] in one lane. Traffic frequency is increased on the road
[00:15:25] throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also at border crossings, given
[00:15:28] that the holiday season is underway.
[00:15:32] Currently, there are long queues of passenger vehicles at
[00:15:34] the exit from Bosnia and Herzegovina at the border
[00:15:37] crossings Izačić, Velika Kladuša and Gradina. At the
[00:15:41] border crossings Deleuša, Zubci and Hum,
[00:15:44] there are long queues of passenger vehicles in both directions.
[00:15:48] At the border crossings Doljan and Metković, Bijača, Nova Sela and
[00:15:52] Gradiška Gornji Varoš, there is no congestion at our exit
[00:15:55] ramps, but there are long delays at the entrance to
[00:15:59] the Republic of Croatia. At other border crossings,
[00:16:02] passenger vehicles do not currently wait longer than 30
[00:16:06] minutes. Due to the Sarajevo Film Festival
[00:16:10] until August 21, in the period from
[00:16:13] 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. after midnight,
[00:16:17] traffic will be suspended and parking prohibited in
[00:16:20] the streets Zelenih beretki, Branilaca Sarajeva,
[00:16:24] Ćemaluša, Ćumurija, Radićeva, Pulovićeva and
[00:16:27] Franca Lehara. On the main roads Dobro Polje
[00:16:31] Miljevina, Tuzla Bijeljina and Jablanica Blidinje,
[00:16:34] traffic is still permitted
[00:18:15] somehow a special time of year in Sarajevo
[00:18:18] that many look forward to with impatience, there are a few
[00:18:22] who complain about the crowds, but it is certainly
[00:18:25] beautiful to see many tourists in our
[00:18:28] city, do you like all that red carpet glamour or
[00:18:32] do you rather look forward to what you will watch at the Sarajevo
[00:18:36] Film Festival itself. And of course, as mayor, you welcome all these
[00:18:40] guests we have in our city, first
[00:18:42] of all,
[00:18:46] that is my opinion, but also the opinion of people I talked to
[00:18:50] that the festival simply outgrew
[00:18:53] the borders of Sarajevo itself, Bosnia and
[00:18:56] Herzegovina, given that it enjoys a great
[00:18:59] reputation,
[00:19:02] where people from film art
[00:19:05] really want to come.
[00:19:07] "They want to be present here, but also to show their
[00:19:11] films, of course, that is very important for the city of
[00:19:14] Sarajevo, regardless of how much you said
[00:19:18] the crowds are, but the city simply
[00:19:21] lives 24 hours a day in festival
[00:19:24] days, but what is very important to emphasize is that
[00:19:28] Sarajevo no longer has a classic tourist season,
[00:19:31] Sarajevo is a city that lives intensely all 12
[00:19:34] months, because you can see
[00:19:37] that there is no period of time
[00:19:41] in which there are no
[00:19:43] some big public
[00:19:46] events, so the Sarajevo festival is one of
[00:19:50] Sarajevo's diamonds, I can freely say,
[00:19:54] a festival that brings a very special
[00:19:57] value, we see tourists, but you
[00:20:00] see perhaps more than tourists, you see guests who come
[00:20:04] home, to whom you are in a way a host. And what
[00:20:09] position, at this time of year, you say
[00:20:13] Sarajevo lives intensely all 12 months, but perhaps this is
[00:20:16] still the most intense period, perhaps there are still the most tourists
[00:20:20] at this time, are you worried about whether everything is
[00:20:24] fine, whether they will take good impressions from
[00:20:27] the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:20:30] and what you are most afraid of, what
[00:20:34] is most often attributed to Sarajevo as a city,
[00:20:37] well, I'll briefly go back,
[00:20:41] today is the 16th of August, if I'm not mistaken,
[00:20:44] two days ago a summit of mayors
[00:20:47] was held at the City Hall where we... had the opportunity to host
[00:20:51] the mayors of Brussels, Ankara,
[00:20:54] Istanbul, Zagreb, Ljubljana,
[00:20:57] Podgorica and Pristina, but also with the participation
[00:21:00] učešće
[00:21:02] of the special envoy of the European Union Mr. Luigi Soreka
[00:21:06] and the head of the OSCE mission Ambassador
[00:21:09] Rick Holtzapple. We uh
[00:21:13] really held a summit that primarily
[00:21:17] sent a message
[00:21:20] from Sarajevo, that this is
[00:21:23] a place where the city is developing completely,
[00:21:26] where we uphold special European and global standards,
[00:21:30] where of course we all face challenges when it comes to
[00:21:33] climate change and green policies, but what is
[00:21:37] most important, we sent a message of peace that this region
[00:21:40] and beyond
[00:21:44] this region, is a space where we must think
[00:21:47] about stability, that we must think about
[00:21:50] life in the future, of course, the part
[00:21:54] that concerns our multiculturalism,
[00:21:58] something that is different and diverse, but that we must all respect
[00:22:02] and appreciate it, precisely referring to your
[00:22:05] question, what you said that when
[00:22:08] people come here, what do we talk about, first of all,
[00:22:11] people greatly respect Sarajevo,
[00:22:15] they greatly respect the city
[00:22:18] they visit, regardless, I always say, of
[00:22:22] Sarajevo's tumultuous past, not just the period 1992-1995,
[00:22:25] but everything
[00:22:28] that happened earlier, however, they see a modern
[00:22:32] city, but one that carries with it the spirit
[00:22:36] of cultural and historical heritage,
[00:22:39] there is always a blend of something old,
[00:22:57] this is certainly
[00:23:00] traffic and a large number of people who
[00:23:03] have come to our city, but I think that all major
[00:23:07] events such as the Sarajevo Festival, Sarajevo Film
[00:23:10] Festival, and others that are held in Sarajevo bring
[00:23:14] with them a large number of people who visit, what is
[00:23:17] very important to emphasize is that we have..." something to offer,
[00:23:21] first of all, it's a great thing when you get
[00:23:25] information that all accommodation capacities are full,
[00:23:28] meaning tourism as an economic activity is growing day by day,
[00:23:32] uh, traffic is something
[00:23:35] that when there are big events, it is always
[00:23:39] challenging, however, our,
[00:23:41] our police, i.e. the Ministry of Internal Affairs
[00:23:45] of Sarajevo Canton, the Police Administration of Sarajevo
[00:23:48] Canton, are doing their job
[00:23:50] in the most professional and best possible way, and
[00:23:54] Sarajevo is a safe city, I can, I think
[00:23:57] some may view it one way or another, but I responsibly
[00:24:00] claim today as mayor that Sarajevo is a safe city, no one
[00:24:04] feels like a stranger here, nor should they feel like a stranger
[00:24:07] and when you walk the streets, surely you
[00:24:11] as independent media when you conduct
[00:24:14] surveys, you get positive feedback
[00:24:18] that people are comfortable and well here, exactly
[00:24:22] so, yes, very often we most often hear positive
[00:24:26] reactions from tourists, we boast about our
[00:24:29] hospitality that we are
[00:24:32] good hosts, that's what people feel and notice
[00:24:35] the most, these are the impressions they share with
[00:24:39] us. How people are the greatest value of this
[00:24:43] work, and as good hosts, could we perhaps clean our house
[00:24:47] a little better and welcome tourists to a
[00:24:50] cleaner city? That hygiene is something about which
[00:24:53] for many years there have been many
[00:25:05] you I would come here to the area
[00:25:08] of Zmajevac, it's really not
[00:25:12] just the central part of the city, to put it
[00:25:15] that way, this urban area through which
[00:25:18] one passes. I mean the municipalities of Centar and Stari
[00:25:22] Grad, they are really clean and the streets are
[00:25:25] cleaned, I think we should all take care, I have always said
[00:25:29] in your shows and other media that we must all
[00:25:32] start with ourselves and take a little more care of our
[00:25:36] living culture, the space that we must preserve
[00:25:40] and also when we dispose of garbage,
[00:25:43] when we have the opportunity to contact people from
[00:25:47] the canton. public enterprise Rad to inform
[00:25:51] them, often pictures arrive, I mean now
[00:25:54] I won't go into the good intentions of those who
[00:25:58] post them
[00:26:00] in the virtual world or on social
[00:26:03] networks, but I think that people
[00:26:07] from the Cantonal Public Enterprise Rad
[00:26:10] are making maximum efforts and that
[00:26:14] also with others who are in
[00:26:17] the system of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene
[00:26:20] are doing their best, that it can always
[00:26:24] be cleaner and greener and more orderly, and
[00:26:27] these climate changes and the intense heat we are feeling
[00:26:30] during these days and during these heatwaves tell
[00:26:34] us that the best work
[00:26:37] is done by those people in power who are
[00:26:41] focused precisely on greening
[00:26:44] cities, what are you doing about it
[00:26:48] and do you think we can have more green areas, more
[00:26:52] parks, so that we can perhaps devote a little more
[00:26:54] attention to issues of ecology
[00:26:57] and greening the city? I
[00:27:01] can say, this is now my opinion, regardless,
[00:27:05] Sarajevo has,
[00:27:25] local communities, not only in city municipalities, but also those
[00:27:29] that are part of the Sarajevo Canton, we do our best
[00:27:33] to arrange park areas,
[00:27:36] children's playgrounds, spaces, really where
[00:27:39] people will enjoy themselves. I am of the opinion that
[00:27:43] in the very city
[00:27:46] core there is green
[00:27:49] space, but we must also look at other cities
[00:27:53] and how they are conceived, for me somehow
[00:27:56] and I often mention it, our
[00:28:00] perhaps biggest challenge is traffic and parking
[00:28:03] spaces, because just a few days ago, uh
[00:28:06] there was information, I think it's official information, that
[00:28:10] 425,000 people who live in
[00:28:13] Sarajevo Canton, uh, we have
[00:28:16] 195,000
[00:28:18] registered
[00:28:21] cars, that is, that is a
[00:28:25] fascinating piece of data, because considering
[00:28:28] our geography or, as I like to say,
[00:28:32] the "hotline" we live in,
[00:28:35] and the entire traffic infrastructure is
[00:28:38] absolutely overloaded, so in the future
[00:28:42] I'm sure, solutions will have to be sought, especially when it comes
[00:28:46] to parking spaces, of course, I'm
[00:28:49] not, I'm not against construction, but
[00:28:52] I am against it, if something is built,
[00:28:56] that adequate
[00:28:59] accompanying infrastructure is not done, because it's impossible to build
[00:29:03] a hundred apartments and provide 30 parking
[00:29:07] spots, the exclusivity is not a parking
[00:29:10] spot, but the exclusivity is to provide
[00:29:14] everyone with
[00:29:33] the mayor's summit that was held on Friday in the Sarajevo City Hall, the
[00:29:36] mayors of Zagreb, Ljubljana, Podgorica, Pristina, Ankara,
[00:29:39] Istanbul were there and you exchanged experiences, I hope you have good
[00:29:43] cooperation with those who are our closest neighbors,
[00:29:47] of course, I already mentioned that the mayor of Zagreb was there, I hope
[00:29:50] you have good cooperation with the mayor of Belgrade and
[00:29:54] that there will be more beautiful stories and beautiful collaborations
[00:29:57] that we can see, especially in the world of art during
[00:30:01] the Sarajevo Film Festival, mm, I would agree with you,
[00:30:05] Ivana, when we, when
[00:30:09] this concept of the mayor's summit
[00:30:12] was generally conceived, we really sent
[00:30:14] invitations to everyone, first and foremost to the mayors
[00:30:17] of the capitals of the region, I am sincerely sorry
[00:30:21] that the mayors of Skopje and
[00:30:24] Belgrade were not able to come, but
[00:30:27] in some future joint meeting
[00:30:30] of ours, I am sure... that they will also
[00:30:33] be present,
[00:30:35] I have lived my whole life in a team, my whole life I have lived with people
[00:30:39] somehow I think that integration is an integral part of our
[00:30:42] lives, you can't do anything alone with a good
[00:30:46] team, with a common
[00:30:49] concept, regardless of the fact that we live in different cities, a lot
[00:30:53] can be done, we can show people who
[00:30:56] visit our cities, regardless of which city.
