[00:01:33] The Council of the Congress of Bosniak Intellectuals will, in the coming [00:01:36] period, promote in several cities in Bosnia and [00:01:40] Herzegovina the 12th edition of the Dictionary of the Bosnian Language, a multi-volume [00:01:43] dictionary of the Bosnian language is the most complex, the most complex, [00:01:47] the most comprehensive scientific research, publishing, [00:01:50] lexicographical project carried out in Bosnia and [00:01:54] Herzegovina, which refers to the fundamental element of the cultural [00:01:57] identity of Bosnian language speakers. On that occasion, our [00:02:01] guest Emir Zlatar, Secretary General of VKBI, good morning [00:02:05] and welcome, good morning to you and the viewers. In the coming [00:02:08] period, you have chosen several cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina [00:02:12] where you will hold the promotion of the 12th volume [00:02:15] of the Dictionary of the Bosnian Language, from Zvornik, Banja Luka to [00:02:19] Stolac, Mostar, Goražde. Um, what message [00:02:23] are you sending by promoting this national project in [00:02:27] cities, uh, areas where the question of language [00:02:30] is still politicized? Well, that's [00:02:33] a political question, so the attitude [00:02:36] towards the language of a nation, so that doesn't [00:02:40] essentially concern or interest us, because [00:02:43] language is a permanent category that is present in every [00:02:46] nation, it is our obligation [00:02:48] after the team of experts who worked on [00:02:52] this project to present it to the widest [00:02:55] possible audience, citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, speakers [00:02:59] of Bosnian language, first of all, the Bosniak [00:03:02] people who have that as their mother tongue. Yes, academic Dževad [00:03:06] Jahić laid the foundations for this work, the 12th [00:03:09] volume is signed by Dr. Haris Ćatović [00:03:12] under the supervision of an eminent editorial board, how [00:03:16] did this sensitive, we will say [00:03:19] handover go, how challenging was it [00:03:23] to preserve the scientific level that you [00:03:26] had from this 12th edition and [00:03:29] the methodology. which Professor Jahić, if I'm not [00:03:32] mistaken, established back in 2001. Well, that [00:03:36] was a big challenge, as it is often said, or [00:03:39] a problem that we faced after [00:03:42] the death of Academician Jahić, which is how [00:03:46] to continue and uh, when you look at [00:03:49] it chronologically, we practically had a break of about a year, [00:03:53] because there was a uh, [00:03:56] a, let's say fear of how. [00:04:00] to continue the project, to maintain the methodology established by [00:04:04] Jahić, which was practically unique, because [00:04:07] this is the first project of its kind carried out in the history of Bosnia [00:04:10] and Herzegovina, and usually in all countries in [00:04:14] the world, this is done by state academies, [00:04:17] lexicographical institutes and so on, since we don't have anything like that at [00:04:21] the state level, nor does it seem likely that something similar [00:04:25] will be formed, then VKB took over [00:04:28] that institutional framework from the 7th volume, [00:04:32] the collaborator of the late Ahić was [00:04:35] Dr. Haris [00:04:38] to speak, Glucksmann's jumping into Ćatović, who was also his doctoral student, I believe, then [00:04:41] we decided in a conversation [00:04:44] the Canadians reacted very strongly with prominent linguists [00:04:47] and philologists, so that editorial board you mentioned, there is [00:04:51] academician Hasnija Tuna, Mura Tegić, Professor Turbić, [00:04:54] Dr. Jasmin Hodžić, Alenka Lajdžija, Professor Remzija [00:04:58] Parić from Zagreb. "So really, people who have [00:05:02] spent their entire lives in linguistics, in [00:05:05] language, then we then they practically [00:05:08] in consultations decided that Haris should produce that 12th [00:05:12] volume, that he should do it and it was therefore a complete [00:05:16] success, there were certain corrections and directions, [00:05:19] because that was the task of the editorial board, we got the 12th volume and what [00:05:23] is most important, so this project has now gained a future [00:05:27] , mm the methodology has been retained [00:05:30] and we believe that by the end of this [00:05:33] project, so by the 23rd volume, approximately [00:05:37] and that's an estimate of how many volumes of the dictionary [00:05:40] this team will retain. And what is very important [00:05:44] to emphasize is that the Institute for Language of the University [00:05:47] of Sarajevo, for which we hope that E that is one of my questions [00:05:51] uh that it will also get the prefix "Bosnian" that they will already be [00:05:55] co-publishers from the 13th volume, that volume is also under [00:05:58] preparation, uh that is a big big [00:06:01] step forward and a public institution therefore the most representative in Bosnia and [00:06:05] Herzegovina, because VKB still has the status [00:06:09] of an association in Bosnia and Herzegovina, yes. You have [00:06:12] many plans for digitalization and for [00:06:16] other uh projects within this, [00:06:20] because you often emphasize, this is not just [00:06:23] an ordinary dictionary, it combines that [00:06:27] encyclopedic, grammatical, etymological, uh, [00:06:31] phraseological and onomastic [00:06:34] handbook in one, can you [00:06:37] explain to the viewers what that means in [00:06:40] practice, what kind of richness will we [00:06:44] have through this dictionary, [00:06:47] the importance of the dictionary, so we have over, I think [00:06:51] a hundred dictionaries of the Bosnian language and I learned that information from [00:06:55] people from the Institute for Language, so that is a richness that has been going on for [00:06:58] more than two and a half to three centuries, so from the first [00:07:01] Uskufija's dictionary from [00:07:04] today, the Bosnian-Turkish language as it was then called, so [00:07:08] over a hundred dictionaries, however, this kind of dictionary... [00:07:13] uh is an unknown that an individual [00:07:17] undertook to enter such a project [00:07:20] and its importance because it [00:07:24] preserves, presents and [00:07:27] practically serves for daily use in all [00:07:30] segments of society, so in education, in the media, [00:07:34] in administration and for people who have [00:07:38] the will and desire to improve their expression or to [00:07:41] define. um a certain segment in [00:07:45] in what they do and where language is [00:07:48] necessary for them, so it preserves [00:07:51] the complete history of the people of Bosnia from its [00:07:55] first written traces to today, its perhaps [00:07:58] most significant thing, as [00:08:01] experts point out, is that it contains [00:08:04] more than a hundred writers from Bosnia and [00:08:08] Herzegovina through examples of those words that are used, that is that one authenticity [00:08:12] that we haven't had with these dictionaries [00:08:16] that have been published so far, and that multi-volume [00:08:19] dictionary presents the speakers [00:08:22] of the Bosnian language in a new dimension, not only in [00:08:26] the countries of the region, but also in Europe, in the world, and this [00:08:29] dictionary should find its place in all [00:08:32] Slavistic departments in the world, of which there are 137, so it is also [00:08:36] practically a written history of the country of Bosnia, because everything that [00:08:39] is written is preserved [00:08:43] through language, which is why language is one of the fundamental identities of any [00:08:47] nation, well, in this case, the Bosniaks for whom [00:08:50] the language is native, although according to the 2013 census, [00:08:54] you have that 50.1% of the citizens of Bosnia [00:08:57] and Herzegovina declared themselves Bosniaks, in the section [00:09:00] that was intended for language, 54% declared themselves, [00:09:03] which means that those [00:09:06] 3.9% of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina who did not ethnically [00:09:09] declare themselves, these are Bosnians. [00:09:13] Serbs, Croats, in any other way they declared themselves, so [00:09:17] their mother tongue is Bosnian, that actually represents that integral [00:09:20] component in Bosnia and Herzegovina for everyone who [00:09:24] feels Bosnia is their country, their homeland, the foundation is therefore [00:09:27] language, that it contains a series [00:09:30] of proofs of the existence of the Bosnian language, [00:09:34] is that the best scientific answer to those who deny the Bosnian [00:09:38] language and its existence, so this [00:09:41] denial of the language itself is complete nonsense, it is therefore [00:09:44] impossible, however, by denying the Bosnian language, you deny [00:09:48] the country, you deny the state, those are actually the goals of those who are trying [00:09:51] to in a completely primitive way deny the existence of a [00:09:55] language that is, according to writings [00:09:58] from the Middle Ages to today, one of the oldest [00:10:01] languages, you will see in scientific literature that, I don't [00:10:05] know, Vuk Karadžić, the reformer of the Serbian language, so [00:10:08] he relied on, took his base from the areas of Bosnia [00:10:12] Hum. those lands as the basis of his dictionary, [00:10:15] not "rečnik" as our neighbors [00:10:18] say today, so it is quite clear that the Bosnian [00:10:22] language was actually that center. of South Slavic [00:10:25] languages, and in the end all linguists at [00:10:29] the beginning of the conceptualization of the Croatian language also used [00:10:32] Bosnia as a basis, because the purest language was spoken there in [00:10:36] that Stokavian dialect, and therefore, these are [00:10:39] clear facts, however language is also a tool [00:10:43] for political manipulation, so we even had a situation [00:10:47] at a Novi Sad convention in the 60s when [00:10:50] Serbo-Croatian was introduced in Yugoslavia, I think the language [00:10:54] itself mm... "is not the one that should create a barrier [00:10:57] between nations or speakers, it should actually [00:11:00] represent the culture and history [00:11:04] of a nation, and it's like a flower in a garden [00:11:07] of diversity in this world that has its own scent, its own [00:11:11] color, and practically it beautifies that garden, language cannot be the one that [00:11:15] will create obstacles, barriers or discord among people, [00:11:18] yes, you mentioned that the Institute for Language [00:11:21] of the University of Sarajevo is joining the project. [00:11:25] "How important is that to you for the stability of this project, given that there are still [00:11:28] 11 volumes ahead of you and about ten years of work on [00:11:32] them? Well, the most important fact is that at the [00:11:35] institute, uh people are gathered, so [00:11:39] it is a public institution, where all experts in [00:11:43] that field are gathered as scientific research associates, [00:11:46] advisors uh in that institution, [00:11:50] what uh we expect in the coming period is that [00:11:54] that oldest institute that deals with [00:11:57] the question of language will get its prefix Bosnian, but that [00:12:01] it will be a center, not only for other faculties, [00:12:04] universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but throughout the region, because [00:12:08] you have speakers of the Bosnian language or Bosniaks in Serbia, Montenegro, [00:12:12] Croatia, Macedonia, Kosovo, [00:12:14] Slovenia, uh, Austria, diaspora, [00:12:17] America, Europe and so on, and they have [00:12:20] a need, especially through the educational system when learning [00:12:24] a language. they have some fundamental elements, namely grammar, [00:12:27] orthography dictionary, who is responsible from Bosnia and [00:12:31] Herzegovina to ensure that those people are provided [00:12:34] with what we would call some standardization, [00:12:37] these are precisely the institutes like ours, however [00:12:40] the constitutional legal arrangement of Bosnia and [00:12:42] Herzegovina, where these competencies are at the cantonal [00:12:46] level, has completely destroyed the educational system, then [00:12:49] these scientific research institutions, in this [00:12:52] way, still one public. We have therefore for this [00:12:56] dictionary, as we also have a [00:12:59] monumental project published by the Institute for History, [00:13:02] also of the University of Sarajevo, so the first written multi-volume [00:13:06] history of Bosnia in six volumes, so there were no new [00:13:09] researches, but a sublimation of all those [00:13:12] researches in the previous 40 years, uh, [00:13:15] unfortunately, people who manage institutions at all [00:13:19] levels of government either don't know or don't want to [00:13:23] know the importance of these [00:13:25] monumental projects, because that actually represents our country, [00:13:29] what is their importance, here on [00:13:32] the international stage, well, that is [00:13:35] undisputed, they probably don't know, so let's see, well, just take Hasan [00:13:39] Ginac, I don't know, the writing of, say, perhaps [00:13:42] the greatest writer in that period, [00:13:45] Goethe, about that one poem, so uh that [00:13:49] defines the identity of a complete nation and presents it in the most beautiful and [00:13:52] best way, or take Sidran and [00:13:55] Mišimović, so all those writers, Dizdar Selimović and so on, that is [00:13:59] the fundamental culture of a nation, so what is expressed [00:14:02] through language, what we inherited from our fathers, [00:14:05] grandfathers, ancestors and so on, uh, that [00:14:09] unfortunately real politics almost does not [00:14:12] recognize, that is the defeat of society, because uh [00:14:16] with these economic parameters, military and so [00:14:20] on, these are some rules that the big ones dictate, but [00:14:23] countries... many countries, small states, those [00:14:27] that have such a rich culture as Bosnia and which has [00:14:30] shown not only through these segments [00:14:33] of culture, but also through many others, that there is such [00:14:37] a richness that actually needs to be presented to all [00:14:40] those who know almost nothing about us, very little [00:14:44] know, because we saw during the aggression what kind of [00:14:48] position or attitude there was towards Bosnia that that nation was reduced to [00:14:51] some religious component, actually. [00:14:55] that national or national identity, [00:14:59] faith is there in the segment of a traditional value, [00:15:02] we have today in Bosnia and Herzegovina a law on religious communities and churches, [00:15:06] that's what it's called, so these religious issues are defined, and what we [00:15:10] noticed through [00:15:12] the promotion of this dictionary, this monumental work, and [00:15:16] through our forums with a large number of professors and [00:15:19] academics from the fields of social sciences and humanities, that citizens [00:15:23] actually have that there is a confusion [00:15:25] in that context, what is a Bosniak, what is a Bosnian, what is a Muslim, [00:15:29] which is not surprising, because practically the name of the people and their [00:15:33] language was suspended for 200 years in the areas of Bosnia and [00:15:36] former Yugoslavia. "Now, all that needs to be done, but based on [00:15:40] scientific methodologies, based on [00:15:43] documents, facts, presented to the public, so that then at [00:15:46] some stage it will enter school systems so that our [00:15:50] children grow up, since we are already talking about schools, you will promote this [00:15:53] dictionary in Zvornik and Banja Luka, where [00:15:56] in that political environment it happens [00:16:00] that the Bosnian language is completely denied in schools, [00:16:03] what kind of support will this dictionary give to parents?" [00:16:09] who are fighting every legal and other [00:16:13] battle for the survival of their mother tongue in [00:16:16] school, so children themselves in, I don't know, primary [00:16:20] schools cannot have much benefit because they don't even know how [00:16:24] to use this multi-volume dictionary, but it will certainly be invaluable [00:16:27] for the teaching staff and for people who are [00:16:30] engaged in any activity in the field of culture, [00:16:34] because they will have everything presented in one place, even those who... try to [00:16:38] dispute the Bosnian language, have now received [00:16:41] in a way [00:16:44] an answer to what is even in scientific, [00:16:47] linguistic and philological circles in Serbia, in [00:16:50] Croatia, in Montenegro, in Slovenia, very well [00:16:53] known. However, emphasizing their own national [00:16:57] identities or national projects of Serbia and Croatia tried [00:17:01] to stifle something that you cannot stifle and destroy, and it has been shown in [00:17:04] history, behold in the last... two world wars that you cannot [00:17:08] exterminate any nation, that you cannot exterminate any culture, that is, [00:17:12] these are therefore futile attempts, and now not only [00:17:16] language, we have a fundamental problem that we do not have a unified [00:17:19] program uh from the group of so-called [00:17:23] national groups and subjects as defined by the framework law in [00:17:26] Bosnia in Bosnian, Serbian or Croatian language, what [00:17:30] is the history of Bosnia in Bosnian language, [00:17:33] geography, music and fine arts. [00:17:37] um literature, readings that are read, we had [00:17:41] a surprising research with [00:17:44] an association conducted by the association of teachers, I think in the canton [00:17:48] of Sarajevo, here in Sarajevo, how many [00:17:50] Bosniak writers [00:17:54] are represented in books, i.e. textbooks of the Bosnian language and [00:17:57] readings 6%. Imagine if it were [00:18:00] 3% in France, or in Italy, it is [00:18:04] therefore something incredible, we need all culture. or [00:18:08] as they say, literature knows no boundaries, but for you [00:18:11] to be the flower that you are, you must have what your [00:18:15] writers are, so we had a case, he [00:18:18] was, I think, with the late academician [00:18:21] Jahić in Blagaj, so [00:18:23] in the area of Herzegovina, from where Safetbeg [00:18:27] Bašagić also comes, meaning perhaps one of [00:18:31] the greatest Bosniak writers, thinkers [00:18:35] we talked there, there was a primary [00:18:38] school with children [00:18:42] in the seventh or eighth grade, I think, I asked them what they were learning, of course [00:18:45] the professor came over and so on, from [00:18:48] the Bosnian language, and so on, and I asked them, do you know about [00:18:52] Safet Bašagić, do you know a poem, so the children don't know [00:18:55] first who that writer is, now you can imagine what a [00:18:59] lost vertical that is with its roots, with [00:19:02] its uh with with what you actually [00:19:05] are, that you have no idea as if you were... cut off [00:19:09] from some root and you are a nation that [00:19:12] actually does not exist, then these who [00:19:16] have Greater State projects try to present that it is a new [00:19:19] nation, imagine, formed in 1993, and written [00:19:23] documents from the Middle Ages speak of Bosnians as an indigenous [00:19:26] people, banovinas, kingdoms and so on, that [00:19:30] there are many proofs that served for the creation of this [00:19:34] dictionary, so for the end, briefly, what is the plan [00:19:37] with digitalization, that will greatly help students, our [00:19:40] diaspora, young generations [00:19:43] who uh prefer the digital form the most? Well, the council has, [00:19:47] through that protocol with the institute, agreed that the institute should manage [00:19:51] that, given that it is a public institution, that it should provide [00:19:54] that one digital database, so all these 12 should be [00:19:58] started, I think that will start next year, that [00:20:00] project, so that we have, like everyone else, when you go, I don't know, to [00:20:04] Google or any other internet search engine, when... you type a word [00:20:08] so that everything that word means, where it is used, what [00:20:12] the meaning is, because you have in the Bosnian language, [00:20:15] I think there under the word "pita", well, we laughed when we read it, since [00:20:19] I am not a linguist, but a lawyer, over [00:20:22] 120 different names for pies in Bosnia and [00:20:25] Herzegovina, so we came to the conclusion that there are some [00:20:29] words or letters that are extensive, here now [00:20:33] it's precisely the letter P, so four or five volumes will be just [00:20:37] for one. And I invite, I will use [00:20:40] this opportunity to invite people, our citizens or speakers [00:20:43] of the Bosnian language in Zvornik, Živinice, Tuzla, [00:20:47] Banja Luka, Bihać, [00:20:50] Mostar, Stolac, Livno, Goražde, to [00:20:54] come, then through the main association of Bosniak councils, which is actually [00:20:57] the first institutional gathering of Bosniaks after [00:21:01] the Berlin Congress, well, we waited almost 200 [00:21:03] years for that, uh, to present ourselves to the speakers [00:21:07] of the Bosnian language in Serbia, Croatia, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Slovenia, [00:21:11] Montenegro, Austria, Germany, it's hard to get to North [00:21:15] America, given that it's a long way, but there we have the Congress of Bosniaks of North [00:21:18] America, precisely that [00:21:21] harmonization, promotion, improvement of the fundamental elements of a nation's identity [00:21:25] is also the reason for gathering uh [00:21:29] within the main association of Bosniak councils, which operates as [00:21:32] a separate uh office of the Council of the Congress [00:21:35] of Bosniak Intellectuals, which will hold promotions in [00:21:39] several cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the coming period, [00:21:42] precise dates, locations and time [00:21:46] of these promotions can be found on the VKB [00:21:49] website.

[00:23:27] We return to the show Novi dan. Friend of the show [00:23:30] General Hospital Medicana Sarajevo. [00:23:42] It's time for news from around the world prepared for you by the foreign [00:23:45] policy editor of N1, Esmir Milović. Good morning, Esmir. Good morning, [00:23:48] Sunčice. from Canada, which [00:23:51] released details of its response to Trump's [00:23:55] tariffs, details indicate that their target will be some very [00:23:59] important federal states in the USA. [00:24:03] What we are currently seeing and what yesterday the Minister of Finance [00:24:06] Champagne, it's somehow mm a little bit of irony [00:24:09] in this whole situation, Champagne [00:24:13] this uh presents this plan, [00:24:16] it will come into force on September 8th... their [00:24:20] anti-tariffs, so to speak, and a support package [00:24:24] for Canadians, the amount [00:24:26] of their tariffs will be 27.6 [00:24:29] billion uh dollars and what [00:24:32] they have done here is to target the key [00:24:36] elements of several federal states that [00:24:39] are very important for the elections coming in November, this is [00:24:42] a kind of, so to speak, political pressure, steel, [00:24:46] aluminum, household appliances, clothing. seafood, [00:24:49] dairy products, all of that will be [00:24:53] also, what will be [00:24:56] in big trouble, when it comes to this [00:24:59] trade war, is the automotive industry, which is very, [00:25:03] very dependent on Canada at the moment, and [00:25:07] what Carney is doing here is practically [00:25:11] telling Donald Trump, you've played too much, now we will [00:25:14] respond, also there was that one cultural [00:25:18] element of all this where... [00:25:20] uh from President Trump's administration, they asked that certain things [00:25:24] related to Quebec, to the French language, to French culture, to [00:25:28] advertisements that are published in French be [00:25:31] suppressed, then [00:25:34] to that, Mélanie Joly, also a minister, [00:25:38] former foreign affairs, now the minister for industry, yesterday at [00:25:42] a press conference, very uh jokingly reacted to it, so [00:25:46] she said, well, look, I love this Canadian [00:25:49] French. so uh precisely because [00:25:52] of that, we want to protect that element that we have in [00:25:56] our society, so this is not calming down at all, I don't think it will calm down [00:26:00] anytime soon, American. The Minister [00:26:03] of Finance announced D-Day for sanctions on Iran [00:26:06] and Iran's trading partners, [00:26:09] of course, and he received a response from one of [00:26:12] them from Beijing. The Chinese say [00:26:16] this is uh illegal, but there is a very [00:26:19] interesting situation here, says Scott Bessent, the Minister [00:26:23] of Finance or the Secretary of the Treasury as he is otherwise called, [00:26:27] says why would I want to blow up the global financial [00:26:29] system. If I had been at... that press conference, I would have [00:26:33] asked him, Minister, are you aware of what you said, because precisely [00:26:37] his boss, the President of the United States, is the one [00:26:41] who for two years now has been undermining not only the global [00:26:45] financial, but also the trade and every other, everything [00:26:48] that is, everything that he has reached, he has blown up everything that has to do with [00:26:51] money, and everything, everything, meaning even what [00:26:54] has to do with money and what doesn't have to do with money, everything has been blown up, [00:26:58] uh, what is very interesting here is that there are no Chinese financial institutions, there are no... [00:27:02] Chinese companies, however, Beijing says that these [00:27:06] threats are completely illegal and that [00:27:09] if necessary, they will uh protect themselves, what does this practically [00:27:13] mean, this practically means that Iran's main [00:27:16] trading partner, China, says: [00:27:19] "Hold on, stop, don't make us have to [00:27:22] react," and this is [00:27:25] an even additional problem because Xi [00:27:29] Jinping and Trump are supposed to meet next month, now. [00:27:33] "and how will you announce D-Day and how will you announce [00:27:36] an economic blow or a trade blow, [00:27:39] it's all the same, on Iran if you don't target the main one [00:27:42] who buys 80% of Iranian oil exported [00:27:46] through the Strait of Hormuz, so [00:27:48] here, it seems to me, they got a bit carried away with this [00:27:52] D-Day announcement, that they thought they would be dangerous, that they would threaten someone, [00:27:56] in fact, they just put themselves in a situation where they will again [00:28:00] clash with Beijing, we have already [00:28:03] said a long time ago, when the trade war between China and [00:28:06] the United States, that is, the US and China, began, that [00:28:10] it would not be a big problem for the Chinese, so here the Chinese [00:28:13] are now simply showing that it doesn't pay off for the [00:28:16] Americans, especially during the economic [00:28:19] crisis, which has spread [00:28:22] throughout the world, somehow started from Hormuz, [00:28:26] ended up all over the world, it hasn't ended yet, it's ongoing and [00:28:30] it will continue, and what is ongoing and will continue is the war in Ukraine, unfortunately [00:28:34] Ukrainian-British [00:28:36] cooperation continues, the British Prime Minister could [00:28:40] be a key envoy in negotiations with [00:28:42] Washington, from which we again expect a lot, and what [00:28:46] we will get, we don't know in the coming weeks. [00:28:50] Yes, what we expect is that we will see a meeting [00:28:53] between Burnam and Trump at the General Assembly of the United [00:28:57] Nations, later next month, towards the end of the month, [00:29:00] when all leaders gather. [00:29:03] in New York, Burnam, who had just been in [00:29:05] Kyiv, promised significant military [00:29:09] aid and technological aid to Ukraine. Now [00:29:12] he will try to pressure Trump regarding Patriots. He will [00:29:16] , it seems to me, be that envoy who will be responsible for [00:29:19] that pressure on Donald Trump [00:29:22] and will practically be the leader of the European response [00:29:26] to that. The only question is whether [00:29:29] Trump can fulfill his promise that he gave to Zelensky [00:29:33] back in Ankara and then again in Washington when they met [00:29:37] regarding the Patriot missiles which are very important for the defense [00:29:41] of Ukraine at this moment. And finally, [00:29:44] we cannot not mention it, perhaps the most important elections [00:29:47] next year will be held in France, [00:29:51] of course, in this European [00:29:53] area, presidential elections, a very [00:29:56] interesting campaign and situation [00:30:00] are already looming. And what we have noticed here is that [00:30:03] we certainly know that on the right there will be Marine [00:30:06] Le Pen or Jordan Bardella, but somehow [00:30:09] it seems more likely that it will be Marine Le Pen unless [00:30:12] those legal problems prevent it, however, [00:30:16] the Left will be interesting, Raphaël Glucksmann, the current MEP [00:30:20] in the European Parliament, announced his candidacy. Jean-Luc [00:30:23] Mélenchon, I don't know, for the third or fourth time he is already [00:30:27] running for president or at least announcing his candidacy. [00:30:30] At this moment, Mélenchon has... better chances to enter the second round [00:30:34] of elections against Marine Le Pen, but this this, so [00:30:40] this whole situation could harm the [00:30:44] Left being disunited, when [00:30:46] we start from ourselves across all of Europe, it always [00:30:50] happens, why? I don't know, I don't know why, and it seems to me that [00:30:54] it will be necessary for the French on the [00:30:57] left political wing, well...
