[00:00:00] carries it well, notes Professor Radosavljević. However, our interlocutor
[00:00:04] hopes that Ana Brnabić's proposal is a joke, not because it's bad
[00:00:08] for Vučić, but because, he says, it would be bad for
[00:00:11] Serbia. That would really mean opening the
[00:00:14] path to direct dictatorship,
[00:00:17] and we are already experiencing some of its versions for at least the last
[00:00:21] two
[00:00:31] And by the end of the news, we're taking you to
[00:00:33] Niš.
[00:00:37] How the city prepared for tonight and the opening
[00:00:40] of the international film
[00:00:41] festival.
[00:00:46] And before that, news from around the world.
[00:00:50] Since there was no progress in the negotiations between the US
[00:00:53] and Iran within the foreseen deadline, Washington decided
[00:00:57] to economically isolate Iran, but also all
[00:01:00] those who cooperate with Iran. The main question is how
[00:01:03] China will react to that American
[00:01:07] move. The war with Iran, which according to Donald
[00:01:10] Trump's plans was supposed to be finished in a few weeks, is still not
[00:01:14] over six months later, and Washington
[00:01:17] continues with threats that have ranged from deleting
[00:01:21] a civilization to the latest one they called D-Day
[00:01:25] for the Iranian economy. The US
[00:01:28] threatens sanctions not only against Iran,
[00:01:30] but also foreign banks, companies and intermediaries who
[00:01:33] continue to do business with
[00:01:36] bids. Although these are Iran. This potentially
[00:01:37] promotes Lika products, and affects Chinese, Turkish, Qatari and other companies. These are not
[00:01:40] United Nations sanctions, these are not multilateral sanctions.
[00:01:44] We call on all parties to fully engage in negotiations and mediation led
[00:01:48] by Qatar and Pakistan, along with other regional actors. We believe
[00:01:52] that this is the only way out of this crisis. However, the greatest fear
[00:01:56] is of China's reaction. Beijing, which imports
[00:01:59] 80% of Iranian oil, has already announced that any
[00:02:02] sanctions would be illegal and that it will do everything to
[00:02:06] protect its interests.
[00:02:09] It is not clear how far the American administration is willing to go in that
[00:02:12] direction, especially considering that presidents Trump and Xi
[00:02:16] Jinping are planning a new meeting at the end of September.
[00:02:20] There is currently a very sensitive
[00:02:23] And this reminds me of trade truce between the US and China, and a move against a major
[00:02:26] Chinese bank that would cut it off from the international
[00:02:30] financial system could seriously damage those
[00:02:33] relations. In Iran, however, they are convinced that they can withstand
[00:02:37] new sanctions. We have been under sanctions for 47
[00:02:42] risks are much higher years. We have now closed the Strait of Hormuz for six
[00:02:44] months. We have kept it closed for six months. They are now trying to figure out what to do.
[00:02:48] truly on that knife edge, They want to somehow talk about
[00:02:51] reopening the passage, but they cannot. This will not
[00:02:55] affect our friends and partners. These are our
[00:02:58] allies and they have passed their test, thank God, they were
[00:03:02] with our country, and their interests are tied to our
[00:03:05] country. An oil tanker was struck
[00:03:08] by an unidentified projectile at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz
[00:03:12] on Tuesday. For now, it is not known who hit
[00:03:15] the ship. According to available information, only two merchant
[00:03:18] ships managed to pass through this narrow waterway
[00:03:30] plane landed at Moscow's Vnukovo
[00:03:33] airport. American CBS reports that CIA
[00:03:37] Director John
[00:03:40] Redcliff arrived in Moscow by plane. The Kremlin had
[00:03:43] previously announced that flight. Incidentally, the CIA
[00:03:47] in 2024 and 2025 had a role in
[00:03:51] prisoner exchanges between the US and
[00:03:54] Russia.
[00:03:58] And US President Donald Trump is considering
[00:04:00] changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America
[00:04:04] at a time of escalating trade conflict with
[00:04:07] Canada. The lake is located on the border between the two countries, between the American
[00:04:11] state of New York and the Canadian province of Ontario.
[00:04:14] Trump announced on Truth Social that the US
[00:04:18] expects more significant trade with Ontario
[00:04:21] and therefore is seriously considering a new name.
[00:04:24] This is not the first similar move by the US President. Namely, at the beginning of 2020,
[00:04:28] Trump issued an executive order
[00:04:31] that American authorities refer to the Gulf of Mexico
[00:04:35] as the American
[00:04:37] Gulf.
[00:04:42] Tonight, the first international film festival in Niš
[00:04:45] officially opens, one of two that will
[00:04:49] be held this month in the city where the
[00:04:52] founders of the former film festival
[00:04:55] split. This one, which is backed by the city authorities, it's not known
[00:04:59] who and how is paying for it, has been announced as
[00:05:01] a spectacle. Before the opening, the fortress and the entire city square
[00:05:05] have been renovated. It was announced that Jean-Claude Van
[00:05:09] Dam is coming to Niš, but
[00:05:13] most local actors are announcing that they will not go to
[00:05:16] this one, but to their own festival which starts
[00:05:20] in four days.
[00:05:23] Drill, a line from the film "Drill Worker" because of the international
[00:05:26] film festival, there where it is under strict protection of both the institute and
[00:05:29] the state in Niš Fortress. There is absolutely
[00:05:32] no right for anyone to
[00:05:36] destroy such a thing. If the law
[00:05:39] is respected and if we uphold the fact that
[00:05:42] this is a protected cultural heritage, then there is
[00:05:46] no talk of any destruction, drilling, or alteration.
[00:05:50] Above the law, another cinematic analogy, the title of an action film and
[00:05:53] what happened. The authorities did not protect the fortress, they are
[00:05:57] preparing a festival in it, posters are put up, the final polishing to
[00:06:01] full splendor of a spectacle, as the mayor announces, such as
[00:06:04] Niš has never seen. It will shine, that's for sure, there is so much
[00:06:08] lighting. Unseen, the authorities say,
[00:06:11] citizens confirm. "In the time of film, the city never
[00:06:15] looked like this. How it looked through the centuries, the tourist guide Nenad
[00:06:18] Rokvić knows. We start our tour from the Fortress. Good day, welcome to
[00:06:22] Niš Fortress, what you see here is a 300
[00:06:26] plus year old ambiance, but beneath
[00:06:29] us lies, that's approximately 2000 years of history that lies
[00:06:33] in this area where we are now, without one, well,
[00:06:37] 60 years of history belongs to the Niš film festivals."
[00:06:41] Rokvić recounts many... flat years, including '71
[00:06:44] when the special guests of local actors and the Niš audience were
[00:06:48] two-time Oscar winner Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
[00:06:51] At that time, Niš was something that Dragan Nikolić, our Gagan Nikolić, later said: "Our Niš is Beverly Hills
[00:06:55] and I want to live in such
[00:06:59] a Beverly Hills here in our country." Niš today,
[00:07:02] this is a purely political event, there is nothing here related to
[00:07:06] culture. As for uh,
[00:07:09] people who should come to see something, it's still very
[00:07:12] new for Niš. For the first time, the lighting in the square is turned off so that
[00:07:16] the evening shines brighter. For the first time, the fortress cannot be seen from the other side of the bridge.
[00:07:20] Well, you can if you crouch or
[00:07:23] kneel. Never like this. It refers to the red
[00:07:27] carpet. Actors did pass through, but from the Stambol Gate to
[00:07:30] the entrance of the summer stage. Now it's from the hotel exit.
[00:07:35] Vasari's corridor in Florence when the Medicis
[00:07:39] wanted to separate themselves from their common people.
[00:07:43] Not to walk through the mud, but to get from one point to another
[00:07:46] over the rooftops of houses so as not to mix with
[00:07:50] those who loved them. No passage allowed, unless you are
[00:07:54] Jean-Claude Van Dam and we'll see who else from
[00:07:57] the actors. Rado Šbajić confirmed,
[00:08:00] how much he pays, that is not discussed. What is known is what is seen,
[00:08:04] cameras have been set up. Željko Mitrović's studio is also sending his Jovana
[00:08:08] Jeremić, also announced as a spectacle.
[00:08:11] Numerous set designs have been placed in the square, a poster for
[00:08:15] the festival starting on August 29th,
[00:08:18] for which it has been announced that 120 actors are coming to
[00:08:28] was not held tonight in the center of Loznica after a group of citizens
[00:08:32] gathered in Vuk Karadžić Square who opposed its
[00:08:35] holding. In Šabac, it was held
[00:08:39] with strong police protection. As reported by
[00:08:42] Portal PR press from Loznica, a large number
[00:08:45] of police officers were present in the central city
[00:08:49] square. Pyrotechnic devices were used and
[00:08:52] there was pushing with the police. On one side of the square were citizens who
[00:08:56] opposed the holding of the Pride Caravan while
[00:09:00] police forces secured
[00:09:02] the area.
[00:12:43] the information that Central Serbia was hit by a strong
[00:12:46] storm this afternoon. You are currently watching
[00:12:49] what it looked like
[00:12:52] on Goč.
[00:13:00] And will it last, our Sara
[00:13:03] Botić knows.
[00:13:05] The weather on Wednesday will be mostly sunny and pleasant, temperatures tomorrow
[00:13:08] around 30 degrees, then until the end of the week, hot again.
[00:13:12] After the instability of rain passes over our region,
[00:13:16] stabilization and warmer air will arrive, so the next few days
[00:13:20] will be sunny and warm. A rise in temperatures
[00:13:23] is also expected. On Wednesday, the weather will be mostly sunny, with light to
[00:13:27] moderate cloudiness during the day. The weather will be mostly dry, with light to moderate
[00:13:31] northerly and northeasterly winds. In the south, the wind
[00:13:34] will be variable. Minimum temperatures will range from
[00:13:37] 16 to 20 degrees, while during the day
[00:13:40] it will be pleasant. Maximum temperatures will be from 30
[00:13:43] to 33 degrees. Only in the south will it be somewhat
[00:13:46] warmer. Until the end of August, it will be mostly sunny
[00:13:50] and warm, with temperatures from 30 to 35 degrees. The
[00:13:53] hottest will be Friday and Saturday with temperatures that will be over
[00:13:57] 35 in many areas. For the weekend,
[00:14:00] variable cloudiness, with a possible short shower with thunder in some places,
[00:14:04] but the amount of precipitation will be small. And due to high
[00:14:07] temperatures and lack of precipitation, the risk of fire in
[00:14:11] open areas
[00:15:07] the results of the tender for the remediation of illegally disposed waste in
[00:15:11] Gospić. Four bids
[00:15:13] were received.
[00:15:17] How the multi-year struggle of Gospić residents with illegal waste
[00:15:21] looked like can be seen in the N1 Television documentary "Gospić
[00:15:24] and. Our Home" which we will rerun after today's
[00:15:27] overview.
[00:15:31] The US presented the announced economic D-Day
[00:15:34] against Iran. The goal is to issue a final warning
[00:15:37] to all countries in the world to break their business ties with
[00:15:40] Iran.
[00:15:43] West Nile virus has been confirmed in three people in Croatia. How
[00:15:47] does the virus actually reach humans and how much should we fear
[00:15:50] mosquitoes? Our Mateo Kar brings the answers.
[00:16:07] For the remediation of illegally dumped waste in Gospić,
[00:16:10] a total of four bids have been received. Two relate to
[00:16:13] the disposal of approximately 650 tons of non-hazardous waste
[00:16:17] stored in bags, and two to the removal of approximately
[00:16:20] 4,500 tons of hazardous scattered waste in the Silos area.
[00:16:24] The estimated value of the first phase of remediation is
[00:16:27] 4.72 million euros without VAT, and the deadline
[00:16:30] for completion of works is 12 months. Katarina Plantak brings the details.
[00:16:34] Plantak.
[00:16:38] The public procurement process for the remediation of the first phase
[00:16:42] of waste in Gospić has been completed. The Environmental Protection Fund
[00:16:45] announced that a total of four bids
[00:16:48] were received. Today we had the opening of bids for two
[00:16:52] open procurement procedures related to the remediation
[00:16:55] of illegally disposed waste in
[00:16:58] the Silos area in Gospić. One
[00:17:01] procedure was for 650 tons,
[00:17:05] or about 300 bags of non-hazardous waste
[00:17:08] at the Silos, where we
[00:17:10] received two
[00:17:14] valid procedures according to the Public Procurement Act,
[00:17:17] due to public interest, we can inform you that for this
[00:17:20] procedure, at the opening, we received
[00:17:23] two bids. Likewise, for this more complex procedure
[00:17:27] where there are 4,500 tons of scattered waste with
[00:17:30] hazardous properties near the Silos, also
[00:17:33] taking into account what was mentioned, I can say that we also received
[00:17:37] two bids from economic entities.
[00:17:41] First, the expert committee will proceed with its procedure, as I have
[00:17:45] informed, according to the law's procedure, taking into account
[00:17:48] public interest and urgency. In the
[00:17:51] procurement procedure for these big bag sacks, removal is foreseen
[00:17:54] within six months, as it is non-hazardous waste. As for
[00:17:57] the scattered waste of 4,500 tons with hazardous
[00:18:01] properties, the deadline for transport from the site to
[00:18:04] the disposal facility is up to one year, and another year for further procedures
[00:18:08] off-site. The public call for temporary covering of almost
[00:18:11] 33 tons of waste buried in the area
[00:18:15] of PPK Velebit is still ongoing. It is a negotiation
[00:18:19] process, bids are collected until Friday, August
[00:18:22] 28th. So this most complex waste, 33 tons
[00:18:26] of buried waste, which contains hazardous properties and mixed soil and
[00:18:29] construction material. After the publication of the complete
[00:18:33] expert report from the Faculty of Geotechnics, we proceeded with market research.
[00:18:36] In the first phase, now the second phase is underway, directed
[00:18:40] consultations with interested subjects
[00:18:42] which is currently ongoing. After that, as we
[00:18:46] said, through the adoption process, we will come out with information to the public
[00:18:49] about the method of remediation. What
[00:18:52] this includes, as you yourself said, covering, that is part of this
[00:18:55] comprehensive procedure, which is one part, the first phase of temporary
[00:18:59] covering with a protective foil so that during the autumn
[00:19:03] and winter rainfall,
[00:19:06] temporary potential... eventual seepage is prevented. And as
[00:19:09] the excavations proceed, that foil will be rolled up, so
[00:19:13] that is only part of the integral process and not a permanent solution. Unlike
[00:19:17] the first public call at the beginning of the year, to which no one
[00:19:20] applied, now four bids have been received. Their
[00:19:24] validity still needs to be checked, but it seems that this is indeed a small
[00:19:27] positive step towards resolving and remediating the hazardous
[00:19:31] waste dump, the illegal waste dump
[00:19:35] in Gospić.
[00:19:43] Troskota, requested from Minister of Finance Tomislav Ćorić
[00:19:46] a verification of almost 580,000 euros
[00:19:49] of transactions related to the company Cezar and the case of
[00:19:52] illegal waste disposal in Gospić and Benkovac. According to
[00:19:56] data presented by Troskota, in March 2024,
[00:20:00] an invoice exceeding 369,000
[00:20:04] euros was recorded, while in April and May, over
[00:20:07] 210,000 euros more was recorded. Troskot asks the Ministry of Finance
[00:20:11] to determine whether these transactions were recorded,
[00:20:14] what services or types of waste they pertained to, and whether
[00:20:18] they were subject to tax supervision and verification of the origin
[00:20:22] of money, but also to determine whether information about these financial
[00:20:25] flows, before the halt of waste unloading
[00:20:28] in 2024, was forwarded to DORH, USKOK, and the State
[00:20:32] Inspectorate.
[00:20:36] The state knew everything through A. and knows everything.
[00:20:39] We asked that question on November 28th, and they haven't answered us
[00:20:42] to this day. Given that with one click within
[00:20:46] the tax administration, they can see tax flows, especially VAT.
[00:20:51] Minister Ćorić is now receiving an official inquiry.
[00:20:54] He will receive it through the Information Commissioner to comment
[00:20:58] on those transactions, because here we are
[00:21:01] exclusively talking about the private company Cezar,
[00:21:05] but about a company that officially operates
[00:21:08] within the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, which gives it a public
[00:21:12] character, whether it wants to or not. And here no one has anything
[00:21:15] against anyone, but we are obliged as members of parliament
[00:21:18] to answer and receive answers to the questions we ask
[00:21:21] and which Croatian citizens ask, related to
[00:21:25] this biggest bioterrorist act and internal aggression that has
[00:21:29] plagued Croatia since its
[00:21:32] independence.
[00:21:36] The Ministry of Finance responded that due to the investigation into illegal
[00:21:39] waste disposal, it cannot release data that is not already
[00:21:43] publicly available. They state that the tax administration, i.e.,
[00:21:47] its independent sector for financial investigations, has been involved in
[00:21:50] the inquiries requested by DORH and USKOK from the start. The ministry
[00:21:54] referred to the USKOK investigation against 10 individuals and four legal entities
[00:21:58] on suspicion of criminal offenses related to illegal waste disposal,
[00:22:02] including against the environment, economy, as well as for tax
[00:22:05] evasion and money laundering.
[00:22:09] And the Minister of Agriculture also spoke today on his social
[00:22:13] networks and said that illegal waste disposal in Gospić must be
[00:22:16] remediated, but warned that because of this case, the entire Lika region
[00:22:20] and its agricultural products must not be stigmatized.
[00:22:23] He emphasized that he personally supports and
[00:22:27] during an official visit to Slovenia, he brought his colleague Lika
[00:22:30] cheese and potatoes.
[00:22:33] Well, my wife is from Lika, what did you do to God
[00:22:37] that I got such a hat at the wedding, just one
[00:22:40] for fair remembrance. Do you have potatoes? I do. A customer comes
[00:22:44] and asks, are we close to Gospić? How far are we from
[00:22:47] Gospić? Citizens say we are 50 km away. "And then they
[00:22:50] smile and buy. Will you set aside some for our Slovenian minister colleague? Yes, I'm taking it to him now,
[00:22:54] we'll treat
[00:22:55] them."
[00:22:59] What's new in our life today? We have to find
[00:23:02] a skripovac.
[00:23:06] Yes, this is run, this is vidrinic, there is one
[00:23:09] of these, one of these, also from Lika,
[00:23:12] also, that's right, but which one is it? This is which one?
[00:23:15] I'm really glad you have all of yours. We especially support small dairies, they do a great
[00:23:19] job for us. Potato.
[00:23:31] The best potato, Nikola Tesla grew up on it. Bake it perfectly.
[00:23:35] na pole ispeći vrhunski.
[00:23:56] US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent presented the economic D-Day
[00:24:00] against Iran that President Trump announced. No
[00:24:03] spectacular move has been made yet. According to him, the
[00:24:07] goal is to send a final warning to all countries in the world to
[00:24:11] sever their business ties with Iran or risk having
[00:24:14] key companies and entities excluded from the
[00:24:17] financial system based
[00:24:20] on the dollar. The first such exclusion could happen by the end of this
[00:24:24] week. One institution that Bessent has so far
[00:24:27] named is the Iranian Bank Melli, for which he expects
[00:24:30] its branches around the world to be completely closed.
[00:24:34] Ivan
[00:24:35] Hrstić brings the details.
[00:24:38] D-Day in World War II was actually the first day
[00:24:41] of Operation Overlord. Economic D-Day marks
[00:24:45] the beginning of the operation "economic outcasts." In the
[00:24:48] plural, because it does not refer only to Iran, but to all who
[00:24:52] do business with
[00:24:52] Iran.
[00:24:59] If they do not take action, we will do so unilaterally
[00:25:02] through treasury authorities. For example,
[00:25:06] every branch of Bank
[00:25:08] Melli must be shuttered and
[00:25:12] dark, and let me be clear, any
[00:25:15] entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of
[00:25:18] Iran.
[00:25:50] to carry out an economic terrorist attack on us,
[00:25:54] we also have our own tools. We also know how to play the
[00:25:56] game. This time too, they shouldn't think that
[00:26:00] it will be defensive and that we will only defend.
[00:26:32] everything we endure now is a difficulty, and I want to
[00:26:36] see that outcome, which is very important. It will make it 100 times harder.
[00:26:39] And now with the income we
[00:26:43] have, life simply doesn't work out. Well, my
[00:26:46] child is unhappy with me, saying, "What kind of job is this? You're a taxi driver,
[00:26:50] you can't earn enough to complete your life."
[00:27:04] that system. China is already sharpening its messages to Washington.
[00:27:21] Everything is happening exactly a month before the return meeting between Xi
[00:27:25] and Trump in Washington. China is actually the real test of the seriousness of these
[00:27:29] sanctions.
[00:27:43] Markets are not impressed so far, they have breathed a sigh of relief
[00:27:47] because military escalation has been averted for some time. The price of oil is even
[00:27:51] falling, the rise in previous days apparently accounted for,
[00:27:54] a possible bigger crisis. Iran is actually
[00:27:57] only to say that Donald Trump has managed, with his eternal
[00:28:01] zigzag course, that this topic actually at least
[00:28:04] today plays no significant role, because
[00:28:08] one can't take the topic seriously anymore, so Donald Trump threatens,
[00:28:11] Iran doesn't react to it, then
[00:28:15] more threats are uttered, which ultimately
[00:28:17] fizzle out. No one at this moment can say with certainty
[00:28:21] where fuel prices are headed in the long term. Pressure
[00:28:25] for diesel price increases is likely. Croatia is not currently threatened
[00:28:28] by rising inflation due to global trends, but rather by a slowdown
[00:28:32] of the economy, warns economic analyst Josip
[00:28:36] Tica. What is extremely dangerous for Croatia is that we had much higher
[00:28:39] inflation than the rest of Europe. In our case, the
[00:28:44] that there could be a slowdown in economic
[00:28:48] activity. We are
[00:28:51] much, much closer
[00:28:53] to the scenario that is not inflationary. Due to the influence
[00:28:57] of the global drought and the war in Ukraine, some may
[00:29:00] try to raise food prices, says Tica, but that's not a big
[00:29:04] , big increase. It's enough to say, he says, that the
[00:29:08] global price index at the beginning of the war in Ukraine was
[00:29:11] 160, and now it is
[00:29:20] threatened on his social media that he could rename Lake
[00:29:23] Ontario to Lake America, amid new
[00:29:27] trade tensions between the US and Canada. The Canadian
[00:29:31] government decided not to respond to such Trump's posts. Trade Minister
[00:29:34] Dominik Leblanc said that a few
[00:29:38] months ago they decided to ignore the daily posts
[00:29:41] of the US President and his ministers on social media.
[00:29:55] This is a big departure from what is usually
[00:29:58] the case. Trump posts, the world reacts. Social
[00:30:01] media have long since ceased to be just a place where politicians
[00:30:05] communicate with voters; they have become a political stage, a tool for
[00:30:09] mobilization, but a new battlefield for attention and
[00:30:12] influence. Donald Trump is one of the most extreme examples on Truth
[00:30:15] Social. He posted an average of twenty times
[00:30:19] a day, and on intense days, more than a hundred
[00:30:22] times. How does such communication change politics,
[00:30:25] how much does it polarize society, and have social
[00:30:29] networks become a new diplomatic channel? This story was investigated.
[00:30:36] War, truce, Hormuz open, then closed,
[00:30:39] and, still, and. Trump's Truth Social is not just the American
[00:30:43] president's diary, it's a political workshop that works 24
[00:30:46] hours a day to discredit the media and
[00:30:49] political opponents or, with the help of artificial intelligence,
[00:30:52] to revive his greatest wishes. If we look at
[00:30:55] him, we can see what digital
[00:30:59] populism actually looks like.
