[00:00:56] Good evening, dear viewers, this is the N1 Television News diary. [00:01:04] day. Miners from Breza refused to go down into the mine due to unpaid salaries and announced [00:01:08] a protest in front of the headquarters of Elektroprivreda Bosnia and [00:01:11] Herzegovina. [00:01:15] In the diary, you can also [00:01:17] watch. [00:01:21] The fight against fires continues in Bosnia and Herzegovina, further burning in the area of [00:01:25] Bosansko Grahovo. Two air tractors are involved in extinguishing the fire on [00:01:29] Plješevica near Bihać, the situation is [00:01:31] calming down. [00:01:35] The Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina presented new election [00:01:38] technologies. The goal is to make the election process more secure, [00:01:42] transparent, efficient and [00:01:43] reliable. [00:01:47] Citizens of Gospić announce a protest after the session of the environmental protection committee failed, [00:01:51] Zoran Milanović requested an extraordinary session of the [00:01:54] Parliament. [00:01:57] After the rain and a short-term refreshment, the sun [00:02:00] and high [00:02:01] temperatures return tomorrow. [00:02:07] Workers of the Breza Brown Coal Mine engaged in workers' disobedience. [00:02:11] Even today they did not go down into the mine, and in two days they could protest in [00:02:15] Sarajevo in front of the building of Elektroprivreda Bosnia and Herzegovina. This was announced by [00:02:18] the president of the union, Jasmin Telalović. They engaged in [00:02:22] workers' disobedience due to the unpaid salary for July and due to the fact that [00:02:25] they do not have information when it could be paid. Tomorrow, at the [00:02:29] headquarters of Elektroprivreda, they have a scheduled meeting where they will [00:02:32] try to arrange a date for salary payment. The Breza [00:02:36] mine ran into production problems due to the fact that they are relocating equipment, [00:02:39] i.e., the longwall from the [00:02:43] 450 m deep mine. [00:02:46] Over the past 10 days, I must say that the Union and the company's [00:02:49] management have made enormous efforts to provide [00:02:52] a solution on the basis of which salaries could be paid. [00:02:56] Mmm, there was not enough understanding from the [00:03:00] ruling public company Elektroprivreda to overcome [00:03:02] this problem, and on that basis, we were simply forced [00:03:06] to take some more radical steps, i.e., the workers [00:03:10] voluntarily stopped production until [00:03:13] this problem is resolved. If this [00:03:17] doesn't get resolved through these protests, if it [00:03:21] the state provides containers for those doesn't get resolved through these joint meetings, it is most likely that [00:03:24] we will carry out those protests on Friday as well. If it is not [00:03:28] resolved, there is a possibility that those protests will be held at some [00:03:31] other locations, of course, that would again be decided by the management board, just as they [00:03:35] made this decision. If it is not resolved, maybe even in front of the Government of the Federation building, maybe even [00:03:39] at some other locations, until [00:03:43] this problem that they are currently [00:03:45] facing is resolved. [00:03:52] Two air tractors were involved in extinguishing the large fire in the area of [00:03:56] Bosansko Grahovo, confirmed Marino Vidović from civil protection. [00:04:00] 10 tons. Vidović pointed out that the fire is currently being extinguished with all [00:04:03] available means with continuous engagement of ground [00:04:07] teams. Workers from the Bosansko Grahovo forestry service, members of the voluntary [00:04:11] fire brigade Korintta and the civil protection of Bosansko [00:04:14] Grahovo were engaged at the fire site. An additional fire broke out on Monday around 8 p.m. [00:04:17] on Obljaj hill after a lightning strike. Available teams set [00:04:21] off towards the new fire site, but the workers of the Bosansko Grahovo Forestry [00:04:25] managed to extinguish [00:04:27] it. [00:04:30] The fire situation in the Una-Sana Canton is calming down. In [00:04:34] extinguishing the fire on Plješevica, yesterday in the afternoon, a helicopter of the armed forces [00:04:37] was engaged. According to information from the competent services, [00:04:41] the situation is under control, the fire site is under constant [00:04:44] supervision. The fire is at this moment, we can [00:04:47] say localized, so there is still a part of [00:04:50] the fire, uh, vertically spreading [00:04:53] towards the top of Plješevica, so to speak, and [00:04:57] the goal of the forces that are extinguishing it, I would say, [00:05:00] ground and helicopter forces, is to prevent that fire [00:05:04] from spreading further across a so-called forest road [00:05:07] that is in that area so that it doesn't eventually escalate further [00:05:10] into the high forest, uh, where there are certain pines, firs [00:05:14] and so on. The use of that helicopter was approved, and it [00:05:18] already carried out several flights in the lower, [00:05:21] lower parts of Mount Plješevica yesterday in the late afternoon. Today [00:05:25] it is here throughout the day, and the plan is for [00:05:29] it to operate in this, as I said, upper part and [00:05:32] together with these ground forces, we will try to finally [00:05:36] extinguish that fire. [00:05:39] Fires continue to rage in Serbia, it is especially difficult in the area of [00:05:43] Deliblatska Peščara. In the settlement of Plavinac in Smederevo, a 70-year-old man [00:05:46] died, and a young man who tried to help him [00:05:49] suffered burns. A large fire in Serbia [00:05:52] near the border with Bulgaria caused dense smoke in parts of [00:05:56] Sofia and Pernik regions. In that area, [00:05:59] the smell of burning vegetation is felt. The Sofia [00:06:02] Inspectorate has already started to examine the level of fine [00:06:06] particles in the air above Sofia. For now, there is no [00:06:09] information about flights that have been suspended due to smoke. Citizens of [00:06:13] Sofia were told to stay at [00:06:14] home. [00:06:17] In Omiš, damages are being calculated after the devastating fire. 52 houses [00:06:21] and three catering establishments were completely burned down. Farmers [00:06:24] also suffered great damage. [00:06:27] An animal shelter for abandoned animals was also burned down. Emergency services have been on the ground [00:06:30] for four days now, working on remediation. Volunteers also came [00:06:33] to help them, financial aid arrived from Split, Zagreb and [00:06:36] Dubrovnik. The real fight for the damaged citizens is just [00:06:40] beginning. "What's going to burn here, [00:06:43] I'm watching Onzala burn, [00:06:46] what about them, the son-in-law and the aunt [00:06:49] and there, they saved it, [00:06:52] they couldn't save the barn, but it's most important to me that they got out alive," [00:06:56] Neven recounts how it looked on the night from Thursday [00:07:00] to Friday, they defended the house, but there was no salvation for the poor [00:07:03] animals, 12 goats, seven kids and 24 [00:07:07] chickens, it was bad, it's [00:07:09] indescribable, it's truly indescribable." It's burning again, [00:07:13] I'm watching Onzala, because I know the whole area and how it is. I see it's burning for me now. [00:07:16] What about them? The aunt and the son-in-law, [00:07:19] and they managed to save it, and [00:07:23] nothing happened to them, that's the most important thing to me, the rest is [00:07:26] easy. The hardest hit are those who lost their homes. According to the latest [00:07:30] information, 52 houses were completely burned down, 60 [00:07:34] partially, and minor damage was recorded on [00:07:37] 20 of them. 123 cars and three [00:07:40] catering establishments were burned down, there are also huge damages to agricultural [00:07:43] lands. [00:07:46] Given that many people's documentation was lost with their homes, the county will wait [00:07:50] for the declaration of a natural disaster. The county head [00:07:53] summoned all department heads whose jurisdiction it is [00:07:56] to issue any documents that citizens will need, [00:08:00] and they received an order from the county head to [00:08:03] do so outside of all procedures, [00:08:06] meaning that all these people have priority [00:08:10] to obtain documents in the shortest possible [00:08:13] time. After the natural disaster is declared, they have [00:08:17] 15 days to submit all documents to the city of [00:08:20] Omiš. We expect that the government at its session on Thursday [00:08:24] will accept our damage assessment, which will go urgently through the county to [00:08:28] the top. And everyone hopes that this will happen as soon as possible. Until then, [00:08:33] who want them, which they can place on their [00:08:36] land. [00:08:39] It wasn't easy, Zvonimir, a member of the rescue service [00:08:42] who lives in Borak, recounts. Today, together with his family and [00:08:46] services on the ground, he is repairing the damage around his house. [00:08:49] Chaos, disorder, you don't know anything [00:08:52] in that adrenaline madness, and some things [00:08:56] you neither see nor feel nor anything, just a struggle for bare [00:08:59] life for every blade of grass, every [00:09:02] window. In Omiš, an early morning [00:09:05] action. HEP workers are repairing [00:09:09] poles, and so for four days about two hundred of them from the entire county [00:09:13] are working day and night to restore electricity to everyone's homes, [00:09:16] 300 poles have been replaced to date. [00:09:20] Today, some normalization of operations is expected, meaning [00:09:23] 99% of people should get electricity today. Those [00:09:27] who won't, it's mostly about burned out facilities or [00:09:31] a slightly bigger problem that we will rectify in the coming days. And in the Omiš plant, HEP [00:09:35] workers fought with fire. The fire completely destroyed a part of the administrative building and [00:09:39] threatened the main transformer station. While trying to save it, [00:09:43] one worker was injured, fortunately lightly, he is recovering at [00:09:46] home. I don't know, it looked terrifying to me, I am still under the impression of that [00:09:49] evening. Luckily, it turned out that [00:09:53] HEP workers are the best when it's toughest. [00:09:56] They gave their all, I don't know, I just [00:10:00] got goosebumps remembering how my colleagues did it. Volunteers [00:10:03] also came to help them, about fifteen of them at this location. [00:10:07] When they saw the news, they didn't hesitate for a [00:10:10] second, they've been working for four [00:10:12] days. But tiredness is not visible on their faces, only smiles. I made myself available to [00:10:16] the city of Omiš to voluntarily and willingly help [00:10:20] with this remediation. Well, these four days we installed over [00:10:24] 150 stop. Croatian Forests employees are marking [00:10:27] trees on the ground that need to be urgently removed, so their [00:10:31] removal has begun throughout the burned area because they pose a [00:10:34] danger to citizens and [00:10:36] cars. [00:10:39] Landslides have already started, so from Borak, they warn. [00:10:43] We had two large landslides last night. And when the rains start, [00:10:46] not to mention, when it washes away even more under those rocks and [00:10:50] when water enters the cracks, I'm really scared. I [00:10:53] appeal for urgent action to be taken, for the rocks to be controlled [00:10:57] and for the construction of a [00:11:00] fence like the one installed on the western side to begin [00:11:03] as soon as possible. The fire has reopened the issue of this road [00:11:07] in Borak, which citizens have been warning about for a long time. It is narrow, [00:11:11] people park everywhere, and it posed a big problem for emergency services [00:11:14] in fire defense. Well, if there is no [00:11:18] will, if nothing is resolved, we announce that [00:11:21] we will take some other steps that will then [00:11:25] be felt as a protest, yes, yes, and [00:11:28] this road cries out for reconstruction, but that's a [00:11:32] county road, we don't have the means for that, [00:11:36] but the problem is acute, it [00:11:39] situations like this show that. The citizens [00:11:42] of this devastated region still have a lot of struggle ahead of them, especially for those [00:11:46] who lost their homes. Vesela Šegvić [00:11:49] Kordić, N1 [00:11:50] Omiš. [00:11:54] Three Croatian citizens, one of whom also has dual, i.e. Serbian [00:11:57] citizenship, as well as a Polish citizen, were remanded [00:12:00] in custody for one month, stated investigating judge of the Zadar [00:12:04] County Court, Hrvoj Visković. They were arrested [00:12:07] two days ago and are suspected of causing fires at 10 locations [00:12:10] in Zadar County. The collection of evidence is underway, the arrested persons [00:12:14] admitted guilt. They caused the fires by burning dry grass next to [00:12:17] the road. The motive for causing the fires is currently unknown, [00:12:21] the judge said that the suspects also gave their defense. [00:12:27] Stay with the news, soon we bring news from [00:12:30] around the world. [00:12:34] Intensified attacks in the Russian-Ukrainian war, Russia [00:12:37] increases threats to countries that help [00:12:39] Ukraine. [00:12:45] In the upcoming general elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina, voters can expect [00:12:48] a new voting system with biometric identification and optical scanning [00:12:52] of ballots. The goal is greater security of the election process and faster [00:12:56] determination of preliminary results. Special focus [00:12:59] has been placed on the secrecy of voting. Reading of [00:13:03] identification documents, voter search, [00:13:06] authentication, identity confirmation are the steps to [00:13:10] issuing a ballot paper. After that, [00:13:13] the voter continues the procedure as before, takes [00:13:16] a paper ballot that will be marked [00:13:20] with a unique QR code and proceeds to vote. [00:13:23] The difference is that after voting, the ballot is inserted [00:13:27] into an optical scanner, the device reads the ballot [00:13:31] and electronically records the result. The optical [00:13:34] scanner does not record any information about how a particular [00:13:37] ballot was submitted, nor does it contain any [00:13:41] personal data. This means that images of the ballot [00:13:45] are randomly stored, which further [00:13:48] protects the secrecy of voting. So there is no data [00:13:52] about time, identification data. So there is truly no [00:13:55] way for anyone to know how someone [00:13:59] else voted. They add that the results are transmitted to the Central [00:14:03] Election Commission only after the polling [00:14:06] station closes. The chairman of the polling committee, with [00:14:10] his password and his smart [00:14:13] card, the token, [00:14:16] locks the polling station. So, when he [00:14:19] enters his passwords, they are programmed until 7 [00:14:23] PM, but if someone is at the polling [00:14:26] station, they will exercise their right only at that moment, if [00:14:30] there are five, six people, for example, until 7:05 PM, [00:14:33] until 7:20 PM, there will be an opportunity to vote. When there is [00:14:37] no one left, at that moment, the chairman of the polling committee, when [00:14:41] he confirms with his smart card and his password that it [00:14:44] is locked, then it proceeds to lock. Each device has a [00:14:47] power unit, i.e., a battery that can operate for over 12 [00:14:50] hours, so in that case, there will be no problems with [00:14:54] both the biometric device and the scanner. As for [00:14:57] device malfunctions, there will be technical teams [00:15:00] on site who will, in [00:15:03] a very short time, try to fix any minor [00:15:06] technical problems. In extreme cases, [00:15:10] the device can be replaced in a shorter period. If that replacement [00:15:14] device does not function, then there is a possibility, [00:15:18] but only in exceptional circumstances, to revert to the traditional [00:15:21] method, but this must not be a widespread phenomenon. 160 [00:15:25] trainers have also been trained for the application of new technologies, [00:15:28] 200 biometric devices and 200 scanners have been received so far. [00:15:32] New equipment will be used at approximately [00:15:35] 5,300 polling stations, as well as at the main [00:15:39] counting center. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, optical scanning of [00:15:43] ballots enables parallel electronic counting, [00:15:47] which complements, but does not replace, official manual [00:15:50] counting. By consistently reading each ballot [00:15:53] and digitally transmitting electronic results, [00:15:57] the system supports faster publication of [00:16:00] preliminary results and helps in identifying [00:16:03] discrepancies that require additional verification. This [00:16:07] system will prevent multiple voting, voting on behalf of [00:16:11] another person, or voting with invalid [00:16:14] documents, as well as any other abuse, say [00:16:17] those familiar with the matter. We have had cases, this is not an isolated case, [00:16:21] it was a frequent occurrence that one voter voted multiple [00:16:25] times with different identity cards. I personally [00:16:28] witnessed this at two polling stations in Bosnia and Herzegovina where I [00:16:32] was. These new technologies and biometric [00:16:36] voter intelligence will prevent this, because [00:16:39] the entire system is [00:16:42] connected with the ID, so that at any given moment it will be known [00:16:46] whether it is about the person who accessed the elections [00:16:49] by name and surname. Will the new system bring more [00:16:53] security and efficiency, it will be known as early as October [00:16:57] 4th, when it will be tested for the first time in BiH [00:17:00] practice. Dragica Pejaković, [00:17:02] N1. [00:17:06] After the interrupted session of the Parliamentary Committee, new questions, and still [00:17:09] no answers. Citizens of Gospić say they have been cheated and announce [00:17:13] a protest in Zagreb, convinced that the waste problem is not only [00:17:16] theirs. While HDZ and the committee president are blaming [00:17:19] each other for who interrupted the session and why, citizens say they [00:17:23] will not give up. [00:17:27] Citizens gathered in the initiative "Gospić is our home" [00:17:30] even a day after the failed session of the Parliamentary [00:17:34] Committee for Environment reiterate: In addition [00:17:37] to being deceived, we are still without concrete [00:17:41] answers, nor do we expect much from an extraordinary [00:17:44] session of Parliament. We can assume [00:17:48] what position the ruling party will take, they will probably [00:17:52] again defend the entire system, [00:17:55] believing that there were no omissions, which is of course incorrect, I [00:17:58] can and have been saying for days and months [00:18:02] where the system was porous, where it did not react in time, [00:18:06] where something could have been prevented, stopped, reduced. At [00:18:09] the protest that will be held in [00:18:13] Zagreb, they expect a turnout of citizens from all over [00:18:16] Croatia, because they say this is not only a Lika [00:18:20] problem. We expect that this time it will not be [00:18:23] just, uh, so to speak, a walk for Lika, as it was in [00:18:27] Gospić, but that this time [00:18:29] all those dissatisfied people from all over [00:18:33] Croatia who we see have problems will join us, to warn [00:18:36] actually. generally about this tax system that urgently needs [00:18:40] to be changed, both in prevention and [00:18:43] in faster and more urgent action. The committee president [00:18:46] Dušica Radojčić yesterday, after only an hour, interrupted [00:18:50] the session because, as she says, HDZ wanted to prevent [00:18:53] citizens from asking questions and participating in the [00:18:57] discussion. Continuing the session is contrary to all [00:19:00] rules. HDZ did not agree for citizens to ask [00:19:04] questions first, but they rejected the possibility that [00:19:07] citizens ask questions at all during [00:19:10] the entire session. They proposed that at [00:19:14] the end of the session, citizens be given the opportunity [00:19:18] to say what they think about what they heard. So, I interrupted the session, [00:19:22] the session could not continue, so I would [00:19:25] explain that HDZ abused parliamentary [00:19:29] services for continuing the HDZ [00:19:32] rally. And while responsibility is still being shifted, citizens [00:19:36] of Gospić say they will not give up until they get all [00:19:40] the answers and until the waste is removed from [00:19:43] Gospić. Borna Schmer, N1, [00:19:46] Gospić. [00:19:50] At least 17 people were killed during the night in attacks by the Russian army [00:19:53] on Ukraine. During the same night, the Ukrainian army launched a massive attack [00:19:57] on Moscow, in which another warehouse of a Russian [00:20:00] retailer was burned down. Meanwhile, Russia is intensifying threats to countries that [00:20:04] help Ukraine. [00:20:08] Terrible scenes from the village of Pechenihy in the Kharkiv [00:20:10] region, early morning, a crossroads full of [00:20:14] people, Russian [00:20:16] missiles fell. [00:20:18] The first strike was at 8:30, the second [00:20:21] occurred in less than a minute, there were two Bandera [00:20:25] missiles. There are always many people here, it can be said to be the center [00:20:29] of the village. People were going to work, to shops, cafes. In this [00:20:32] place alone, ten people died, and at least [00:20:36] seven more people died in attacks on Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, [00:20:39] Kherson. We will definitely respond to this Russian attack, [00:20:43] and it is equally important that our partners follow up our [00:20:46] kinetic responses with their own actions of pressure [00:20:50] on Russia and supporting Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian army [00:20:53] is not sitting idly by. During the night, it targeted [00:20:57] Moscow and the Moscow region. Ukrainian media report that one of the largest [00:21:00] Wildberries retail warehouses was damaged, and that about 10,000 residents [00:21:04] of the Moscow region were left without electricity. Moscow Mayor Sergey [00:21:08] Sobyanin announced that the Russian capital was attacked [00:21:11] by more than 600 drones. Most of the drones are of Ukrainian [00:21:14] production. However, after reports that recent attacks [00:21:18] used British drones, the Kremlin [00:21:21] threatens that there will be consequences. The response from [00:21:24] London came immediately. Great Britain [00:21:28] is doing what it has long said it would do, which is to support [00:21:32] Ukraine 100% against this illegal war being waged [00:21:35] by Vladimir Putin. We provide support so that Ukraine [00:21:38] can defend itself, and that has been the British position, and it has been such since the beginning [00:21:42] of this conflict with all previous prime ministers, and it remains such [00:21:46] from my side. The company is known to supply [00:21:50] Ukraine with drones for attacks deep within Russian [00:21:54] territory, which have so far caused economic damage of [00:21:57] 35 billion pounds, states the BBC, while peace [00:22:00] negotiations are on thin ice, both Russia and [00:22:03] Ukraine are developing new weapons. Meanwhile, seven [00:22:07] NATO members are conducting military exercises in Romania, testing [00:22:10] combat readiness, trench warfare capability [00:22:14] and engineering skills. Alexandra [00:22:17] Gotfra, N1. The United States and Iran are showing no [00:22:22] signs that they could agree to extend the 60-day deadline [00:22:26] for peace talks. A good part of that period [00:22:29] they spent exchanging missiles, Hormuz is closed [00:22:32] and Iranian ports blocked. Iranian [00:22:35] officials announce that Iran will now be fully offensive while Trump [00:22:38] threatens to bomb Oman. [00:22:41] 60 days have passed, [00:22:44] and there is absolutely nothing to suggest that either side would want [00:22:48] to. However, Donald Trump still [00:22:51] claims [00:22:55] Iran wants a deal, but not one he would be willing to accept. Well, they want to make a deal, [00:22:58] but [00:23:07] they're not going to make the kind of deal that I feel is necessary. [00:23:11] Look, we're in there for one reason, Iran cannot [00:23:14] have nuclear weapons, you understand that? Iran cannot have [00:23:18] nuclear weapons and... [00:23:33] Trump said at the beginning of July that the agreement was [00:23:36] over. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs a week [00:23:40] later declared it [00:23:41] suspended. [00:23:50] The memorandum of understanding began on June 18th [00:23:53] to be grossly and extensively violated. The text of the memorandum [00:23:57] of understanding and therefore fundamentally that 60-day [00:24:01] issue is no longer relevant. [00:24:03] Iran [00:24:08] Nisponi and clearly I say until [00:24:11] America's commitments in the agreement, including [00:24:13] the lifting of the blockade of frozen [00:24:17] assets, the lifting of oil sanctions. [00:25:21] And then there are the constant statements from Iranian military officials who [00:25:25] say that Tehran would gladly reach a diplomatic solution to spoil [00:25:29] Trump's chances in the upcoming congressional elections. Oil [00:25:32] prices after the expiration of the memorandum once again rise to the highest [00:25:36] levels since the end of July. Brent crude is once again [00:25:39] above 90 dollars. Americans have no reason to be [00:25:42] optimistic. 80% of them, including [00:25:45] 87% of Democrats and 71 [00:25:48] percent of Republicans believe that the Iranian [00:25:52] crisis will last a long time. Support for Trump falls to [00:25:55] its lowest level so far, according to an Ipsos [00:25:59] poll for Reuters. Only 33% approve [00:26:02] of Trump's work in the White House, and 64% do [00:26:05] not approve. This is the lowest [00:26:09] in his current term, the bottom level from [00:26:12] his previous term, from December [00:26:15] 2017. Ivan Hrstić, [00:26:18] N1.
