[00:00:00] This information first appeared in the Wall Street Journal that
[00:00:03] Ursula von der Leyen intends to offer this so-called
[00:00:06] associated membership, we still don't know the total
[00:00:10] scope of this. Then there was
[00:00:13] a lot of discussion about why all of a sudden, uh,
[00:00:17] it's being discussed and how it will affect the enlargement process and everything else. Then we heard
[00:00:21] that they are considering it even when it comes to uh
[00:00:24] Australia, and yesterday my colleague Amir Krivošija and I
[00:00:27] joked that the European Union is almost now looking like Eurovision
[00:00:31] with Israel and Australia
[00:00:34] as associated members, but this can be a good thing for uh
[00:00:38] Europeans, first because Canadians have
[00:00:41] certain products, certain capacities that they can
[00:00:45] place much better on the European market. They also
[00:00:48] have a very solid defense industry, which can
[00:00:51] be a good uh
[00:00:54] factor for Europeans at this moment, and for Canada, this
[00:00:58] can mean what I... this morning at our regional
[00:01:01] opening, someone said, we are too dependent on the United
[00:01:05] States, exactly that, to open a space to have something
[00:01:09] more uh sources and opportunities
[00:01:12] to cooperate with other people when they need their products and
[00:01:16] services? In the meantime, we got that
[00:01:20] answer, didn't we, from Washington regarding what is happening in
[00:01:23] Strasbourg. It's not much different from everything that is actually
[00:01:27] their answer lately, it's short and clear.
[00:01:30] Tariffs, what else would Donald Trump do, I mean, this
[00:01:34] has already become, so to speak, ridiculous,
[00:01:37] because for two years now, whatever happens, he
[00:01:41] says tariffs, and he thinks that those tariffs will scare someone,
[00:01:44] that they will intimidate someone more, he told the Chinese
[00:01:48] that they would pay, I don't know, hundreds of billions of US dollars
[00:01:52] to Americans, but they didn't pay, then he threatened
[00:01:55] Carney with these tariffs, then
[00:01:58] Carney said, "Fine... tariffs, you want tariffs, here you go, I'll just
[00:02:02] give you back your tariffs, as many as you imposed on us, we'll impose on you,
[00:02:05] let's see what you'll do now."
[00:02:08] the domestic public, given Then, for example, a few days ago there was a funny situation related to
[00:02:12] all this. Trump, during a speech, said something like,
[00:02:15] "We will ban the Canadian Bombardier from selling
[00:02:19] uh its planes uh in
[00:02:22] the United States," uh,
[00:02:25] precisely because of that trade war, and then from a federal state that is one
[00:02:29] of the key players for Republicans at
[00:02:32] of Republika Srpska, and kissed the cross on this moment before the elections in November, everyone jumped up and said, "No, no, no, don't touch
[00:02:35] Bombardier, don't cause us problems," because what we
[00:02:39] have at this moment is about 5,000 workers who produce engines, who
[00:02:43] produce parts and assemble those Bombardiers in
[00:02:47] uh the United States and then just transfer them
[00:02:51] - to Canada to uh be
[00:02:54] completed. Also, the automotive industry is already
[00:02:57] showing nervousness because of the fact that...
[00:03:01] a large number of parts for car production in the United
[00:03:04] States, several times
[00:03:06] could read and hear at during the production of one car cross the border between Canada and
[00:03:10] the United States. So what he
[00:03:13] is threatening with tariffs to both Europeans and Canadians, I think it will only
[00:03:17] help both of them to simply say, "Come on, let's
[00:03:20] forget about them for a while until this mandate ends, then we'll see what we'll do."
[00:03:24] But there are two years left until the end of the mandate, a lot can
[00:03:27] happen in the next two years, there can be... great damage to the United
[00:03:31] States. And this morning, just as almost
[00:03:34] every morning we reflect on Donald Trump's moves, we reflect on
[00:03:38] Iran, but I say this morning not on the situation
[00:03:42] caused by Donald Trump's moves, but actually on the state
[00:03:45] of human rights, which we often hear about from
[00:03:50] property. First of all, let's the Iranian Nobel laureate Mohammadi, who again used her time outside
[00:03:53] of prison to actually draw attention to the
[00:03:56] suffering of prisoners. That's what we
[00:04:00] found out this time, and what I have to say is that when
[00:04:04] I saw this report that my colleague from
[00:04:08] CNN prepared, or rather the interview with Narges Mohammadi, uh,
[00:04:12] I was positively surprised and I'm glad that we see her looking relatively
[00:04:16] well. We had a lot of information in the past period that her
[00:04:19] condition was critical, that she was in very poor health,
[00:04:23] that at one point it was even being
[00:04:26] discussed whether she had died in detention or in prison.
[00:04:30] Or, mm, no, mm, luckily no. Here
[00:04:33] we see mm her here in this clip,
[00:04:37] or rather mm a photograph from this interview. What
[00:04:41] she says here is that the regime
[00:04:44] implements very repressive measures against those who are in
[00:04:48] prison. For example, in her case, she already has 44, 45
[00:04:51] years of imprisonment sentences. Every subsequent activity
[00:04:54] leads to the addition of new
[00:04:58] indictments, new years. in prison, but she says that she would never
[00:05:02] change what she is doing at this moment in her life, now in
[00:05:05] memoirs that are coming out very soon, we have already announced them in our program, Narges
[00:05:09] Mohammadi talks about it.
[00:05:12] "What happens in prisons, what kind of torture, what kind of
[00:05:16] torment, mm, how executions are carried
[00:05:19] out without a court judgment, without
[00:05:22] the court's permission to do so, and what she did was,
[00:05:26] she says, I directly mention the names
[00:05:29] of those who committed it so it remains recorded that
[00:05:33] someday in the future they might be held accountable before justice for what
[00:05:37] they uh did. Also, in this
[00:05:40] photograph, we see there..." in the background
[00:05:44] Mahsa Amini, who I couldn't even believe it when my colleague Džamana
[00:05:47] Karače said that four
[00:05:51] years had passed since her death, it passed like that in a second,
[00:05:55] that is another devastating fact, and it seems
[00:05:58] to me that what is happening now in a geopolitical
[00:06:02] sense with Iran, with the United States, will only
[00:06:05] harm people like Narges Mohammadi even more,
[00:06:09] because the regime is becoming increasingly repressive towards those who disagree
[00:06:13] uh with the regime, but it's good that we have the opportunity
[00:06:16] to see her, that she is alive, healthy
[00:06:20] she is not, she is very
[00:06:22] sick, but she is alive at this moment, this
[00:06:26] comes as good news for her family that they can
[00:06:29] see her, because her family has been living in exile for many
[00:06:32] years, and her children who are
[00:06:36] some somewhat older teenagers, it's already been a decade or
[00:06:40] a decade and a half that they haven't
[00:06:42] you, seen her live, but only occasionally
[00:06:44] when she appears in public. Mhm, Esmire, thank
[00:06:48] we will most likely see each other later, with our
[00:06:52] next interlocutors, we will talk about the world again,
[00:06:56] but also about Bosnia and Herzegovina within it.

[00:08:52] Marija, good day, tell us what sets this curcumin apart from
[00:08:55] others? BMT microencapsulated curcumin stands out
[00:08:59] due to its modern microencapsulated form of curcumin, which enables
[00:09:02] better absorption and utilization in the body compared
[00:09:05] to classical forms. An additional advantage is provided by the synergistic
[00:09:09] formula, which, in addition to curcumin, contains boswellic acid from
[00:09:12] frankincense, piperine from black pepper, vitamin C and
[00:09:16] rosehip, vitamin
[00:09:18] and zinc, which together contribute to better support for joints,
[00:09:21] immunity, nervous system, and cell protection from oxidative
[00:09:25] stress. In addition, the capsules are plant-based, so they are suitable
[00:09:28] for vegans and for people who fast. With the arrival of
[00:09:32] cold days, many people say that they feel fatigue, a drop in immunity, and
[00:09:36] joint pain. Can Marija BMT Curcumin help
[00:09:39] here? During seasonal changes, the body
[00:09:42] adapts to changes in temperature, lack of sunlight,
[00:09:46] and more frequent infections, which can lead
[00:09:49] to fatigue, loss of energy, and weaker resistance. Precisely
[00:09:53] for this reason, the body needs additional support. Thanks to its
[00:09:56] anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, curcumin can contribute
[00:10:00] to better body resistance and easier overcoming seasonal
[00:10:04] ailments. The formula additionally contains vitamin C and zinc, which
[00:10:07] support the normal function of the immune system. Thank you, Marija, for
[00:10:11] all your important and useful information for all
[00:10:14] of us. Dear viewers, this product is recommended

[00:12:13] With our next two guests in the new day,
[00:12:16] we analyze messages from Strasbourg, but also
[00:12:19] messages from the United States of America sent to Bosnia and Herzegovina and the
[00:12:23] region, and the story we will... watch before that is just a brief
[00:12:26] introduction to part of what awaits us
[00:12:29] as a topic with our interlocutors. Here's a reminder of
[00:12:33] the reactions from Europe, but also, of course, from the United States of
[00:12:37] America, regarding the glorification of convicted war criminal Ratko
[00:12:40] Mladić. The picture that the state minister of foreign
[00:12:44] trade and economic relations himself published and praised in
[00:12:48] anticipation, as he says, of the resurrection of the dead, he laid
[00:12:51] a wreath on the grave of the convicted war criminal, a badge with the flag
[00:12:57] which the name and surname of Ratko Mladić are written. Condemnations that
[00:13:00] have been arriving in recent days from European parliamentarians and American
[00:13:04] congressmen who condemned the glorification of convicted
[00:13:07] war criminals, obviously did not bother
[00:13:11] Košarac. On the contrary, not only Mr. Košarac, but no one
[00:13:14] from either
[00:13:17] politicians in power or those in opposition, if
[00:13:21] we are talking about Republika Srpska. Just three or four
[00:13:25] days ago, the mayor of Banja Luka, Draško
[00:13:29] Stanivuković, announced that a memorial bust of
[00:13:32] Ratko Mladić would be built in the center of Banja Luka
[00:13:35] at the monument to fallen fighters, which best shows
[00:13:39] that absolutely no one cares about the stance
[00:13:41] of the international community. The President
[00:13:45] of the European Commission reiterated today that she was disgusted by the footage from the funeral
[00:13:49] of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić in Belgrade last
[00:13:52] of the European Union in the European Parliament, she said that the glorification of war
[00:13:55] criminals simply has no place in the European
[00:13:58] Union. All victims of the wars in the former
[00:14:00] Yugoslavia deserve to be remembered, and all
[00:14:04] their families deserve our sympathy, because that is what
[00:14:08] we as a union stand for, for truth, justice,
[00:14:12] respect for our values. Similar statements could be heard
[00:14:15] from European parliamentarians the day before, but with direct condemnation of Serbia and
[00:14:19] officials from Republika Srpska. Many demanded concrete
[00:14:22] sanctions, but Lajen did not mention that. In Washington, criticism
[00:14:26] from American congressmen regarding Milorad Dodik, Serbia, and the policy that
[00:14:30] divides Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a unified stance: the glorification of war
[00:14:33] criminals must not be tolerated. However, after yesterday's debate in the American
[00:14:37] Congress, it is clear that Donald
[00:14:41] Trump's current administration considers the Dodik
[00:14:43] case
[00:14:45] What kind of messages are we sending when we talk about American
[00:14:48] interests? On the one hand, security interests and America's
[00:14:52] concerns regarding Russia were omitted from the strategic dialogue,
[00:14:55] and on the other hand, former convicts who lobby
[00:14:58] and the president's relatives are involved in the processes. What
[00:15:02] does that tell the people in
[00:15:03] the region?
[00:15:07] The decision to remove Dodik and those around him from the sanctioned list was
[00:15:10] linked to resolving and calming the deepest political
[00:15:14] crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina in recent decades. As
[00:15:17] a result of American diplomacy, Milorad Dodik resigned from
[00:15:21] the position of President of Republika Srpska, and the legislature
[00:15:25] adopted laws that annulled the most
[00:15:28] anti-Dayton acts that were previously passed. Adnan
[00:15:32] Huskić comments, things could change if the Democrats
[00:15:36] win a majority in the American Congress in the upcoming elections
[00:15:39] in early November. However, Brussels' policy remains
[00:15:42] unchanged, there is no red card for Serbia in
[00:15:46] the European Union. However, what remains, that problematic part,
[00:15:50] is that the European Union still does not have a clear relationship
[00:15:54] with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Because, as we just heard, this is a red
[00:15:57] line, nothing has changed, so you essentially have
[00:16:01] no consequences
[00:16:04] for the authorities in of the European Commission previously announced a
[00:16:08] visit to the Western Balkan countries. It is not
[00:16:11] known at this moment whether she will bypass Serbia. Tina
[00:16:14] Jelindizdar N1.
[00:16:31] And what is changing today in American policy towards Bosnia
[00:16:35] and Herzegovina, how important could that change be
[00:16:38] for the future of our country? In the American Congress, a few
[00:16:42] days ago there was talk of lifting sanctions on Milorad Dodik, about
[00:16:45] the southern interconnection, state property, the future
[00:16:49] of the OHR. Some warn that the Trump administration, through these
[00:16:53] moves, politically strengthens Dodik and weakens the state
[00:16:56] institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while his
[00:16:59] administration offers a completely different explanation, that the time
[00:17:02] of American imposition of solutions is over and that responsibility
[00:17:06] should be returned to local politicians. At the same time,
[00:17:09] today the candidate for the new US ambassador to Bosnia and
[00:17:13] Herzegovina comes before the Senate. What is actually happening in Washington and
[00:17:17] what is the new American calculation for Bosnia and Herzegovina?
[00:17:39] a few days ago, which certainly attracted a lot
[00:17:42] of attention in
[00:17:46] the still current topics in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Let's
[00:17:49] start with Milorad Dodik and the sanctions, given that
[00:17:53] we could very directly hear
[00:17:56] the explanation that his behavior after
[00:17:59] the sanctions has not changed. How do you interpret
[00:18:03] all that discussion, everything we heard, that is, on
[00:18:07] the one hand, a request for the return of those sanctions, and on the other
[00:18:10] hand, the justification of the Trump
[00:18:13] administration for their lifting.
[00:18:26] Several members of Congress stated
[00:18:29] that Dodik
[00:18:31] has already
[00:18:34] violated
[00:18:38] the principles for which
[00:18:40] these
[00:18:43] sanctions were imposed,
[00:18:46] and that there is a basis for them to be reimposed,
[00:18:49] however, this administration
[00:18:53] says that the sanctions were lifted because
[00:18:57] he withdrew the anti-Dayton
[00:18:59] laws last
[00:19:02] but
[00:19:06] since then, Dr. Dodik
[00:19:08] has, if not maintained, then even
[00:19:12] gone further in his rhetoric, so
[00:19:15] I don't think that there is
[00:19:17] convincing, sound logic
[00:19:21] behind the explanation of this new
[00:19:25] administration
[00:19:26] as to why
[00:19:30] the sanctions
[00:19:33] were lifted and why they will not eventually be reimposed.
[00:19:36] Uh, what Mr. Lawton said in Congress
[00:19:39] was not convincing to me,
[00:19:43] especially when they asked him if he would reimpose
[00:19:46] sanctions, Mr.
[00:19:50] Lawton
[00:19:53] did not commit that it was possible. On
[00:19:57] the other hand, congressmen reminded him of
[00:20:00] the law that Congress adopted at the end of 2025,
[00:20:03] which actually provided for sanctions for
[00:20:06] actors who threaten peace and stability in
[00:20:09] the Western Balkans. If that is the correct
[00:20:13] interpretation of that law, can it then happen that the executive
[00:20:16] branch in America, in the state where you come from,
[00:20:20] and Congress on the other hand, find themselves in a direct
[00:20:24] conflict over Dodik in
[00:20:27] the period that is ahead of us,
[00:20:29] it can happen that they are in
[00:20:32] conflict. I think there already
[00:20:36] is
[00:20:39] a difference of opinion which is
[00:20:41] obvious.
[00:20:44] And now, we will see
[00:20:46] today.
[00:20:50] When Mr. Johnson appears before
[00:20:53] Congress, will the same question arise before
[00:20:56] a larger number of congressmen regarding
[00:21:00] this issue? It should, but
[00:21:03] we will see.
[00:21:06] On the list of what needs to be done
[00:21:08] and
[00:21:11] about what they can
[00:21:13] conflict over in Congress, where they will
[00:21:17] potentially be more numerous.
[00:21:20] After these November elections,
[00:21:23] we will definitely hear this story again, it's just
[00:21:27] a question of how much the
[00:21:31] administration of the president
[00:21:34] will push its agenda.
[00:21:38] It is clear to me that this current
[00:21:42] administration does not want and will not reimpose
[00:21:45] sanctions on Dodik.
[00:21:47] Mhm, they said
[00:21:51] that instrument, that they will use it if
[00:21:54] they assess that someone has threatened either
[00:21:58] stability or American interests. Now, you are someone
[00:22:02] who certainly knows the situation in the United
[00:22:05] States of America very well, but also in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where you have lived for more
[00:22:08] than twenty years. What would
[00:22:10] you say, considering the
[00:22:14] situation in both countries, what action, if any, could
[00:22:18] either Dodik or any of the actors in Bosnia and Herzegovina take
[00:22:22] for American sanctions to be
[00:22:24] reconsidered?
[00:22:31] I think that Dodik currently feels
[00:22:34] untouchable,
[00:22:36] meaning that he will go unpunished,
[00:22:40] so I really don't know what would
[00:22:42] have to happen,
[00:22:45] um, or what anti-Dayton
[00:22:49] move he would have to make for
[00:22:51] whether he would eventually put police on
[00:22:55] the border between entities or declare
[00:22:58] independence, will that be the move that will
[00:23:01] reopen the discussion
[00:23:04] about imposing
[00:23:06] sanctions?
[00:23:09] Louis Kryscho, who is currently the acting
[00:23:12] High Representative,
[00:23:15] is a person who has only
[00:23:18] je osoba koja je samo.
[00:23:20] warned all sides
[00:23:22] uh
[00:23:26] in terms of the activities they
[00:23:28] undertake, but no sanction, no
[00:23:32] serious sanction that should be imposed for
[00:23:36] anti-Dayton actions, has been considered,
[00:23:39] as far as I know. Yes, the instrument
[00:23:41] exists,
[00:23:46] will the Treasury Department again
[00:23:50] impose know if they have red
[00:23:53] lines or if it
[00:23:57] is something for which they need to call the White House and get their
[00:24:00] approval before reimposing sanctions. Yes, uh,
[00:24:04] in the Democrats' report, Dodik was not much different
[00:24:07] from and
[00:24:10] from the energy projects that await
[00:24:13] us in that sense, certainly of American
[00:24:17] interests, we are talking about the southern
[00:24:20] interconnection, the continuation, and Keating
[00:24:23] warned of possible wider political trade,
[00:24:26] citing politically empowered Dodik, a weakened
[00:24:29] OHR, and American interest in the southern interconnection, as something
[00:24:33] that could create particular pressure on the authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:24:37] regarding the issue of state
[00:24:40] address that, how serious do you think that scenario is?
[00:24:44] Mhm.
[00:24:53] I don't see a direct connection there.
[00:24:56] The southern
[00:24:59] interconnection should only pass through the
[00:25:01] federation. The law has been adopted, but as far
[00:25:05] as I know, the contract has not been signed,
[00:25:09] and it should have been signed
[00:25:12] at the same time when the amendments
[00:25:15] to the law were adopted. As far as I know, the contract
[00:25:19] with the contractor has also not been
[00:25:23] signed.
[00:25:27] I know that we also need to work with
[00:25:30] the Croatian side, but of course, state
[00:25:34] property must be utilized
[00:25:37] if we want to see, or if they want to see
[00:25:41] that pipeline built. But
[00:25:45] it has been clear for years that
[00:25:48] Milorad Dodik is focused
[00:25:52] on state property, that he
[00:25:54] also received Vučić's
[00:25:57] support, that his
[00:25:59] eyes are constantly
[00:26:03] fixed on state property, because he wants
[00:26:06] to dispose of it, eventually sell
[00:26:10] state property, and everyone wants to
[00:26:13] play, to be involved in this game, not just
[00:26:17] Dodik, but it seems that only Dodik would be
[00:26:20] at the top of that pyramid, but no, there are many
[00:26:24] others who want to invest
[00:26:27] to extract profit from Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:26:31] based on solving the problem
[00:26:33] of state, under quotation marks, the problem of state
[00:26:36] property.
[00:26:40] In the Congress
[00:26:44] report, we said that this is a constitutional
[00:26:47] issue, and we said that the
[00:26:51] 5 + 2 condition for closing the OHR
[00:26:53] has always been a too low
[00:26:57] bar for closing the OHR, because in
[00:27:00] fact, if you remove... the EUFOR
[00:27:03] and the OHR, you no longer have instruments for
[00:27:06] implementing and ensuring
[00:27:09] the Dayton
[00:27:13] Agreement.
[00:27:16] If you don't have that, then you must have another operational
[00:27:19] system, so either state property
[00:27:22] will be left
[00:27:25] as state until
[00:27:29] the moment you don't have
[00:27:33] a democratic government and a more responsible government,
[00:27:37] Dodik wants that Pandora's Box to be opened, but he
[00:27:40] is certainly not the only one who
[00:27:43] wants it. There are domestic
[00:27:47] and foreign actors who see their interest there, who
[00:27:51] want to uh, have state
[00:27:54] property lowered to the entity level and even
[00:27:57] lower. And that is a cause for
[00:28:01] concern.
[00:28:05] I hope that the members
[00:28:08] of PIC and the European Union
[00:28:11] show a firm stance on this issue, but I haven't seen them
[00:28:15] do it so far. Yes, a lot of Congressmen
[00:28:19] talked about possible pressure even on
[00:28:22] the Bosniak member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina to
[00:28:25] accept a solution for that state property that will be in
[00:28:29] favor of what has been advocated for many years.
[00:28:33] Republika Srpska, but the issue of state property
[00:28:36] was not actually the only segment discussed and warned about
[00:28:40] when talking about the southern
[00:28:43] interconnection, when it comes to ties
[00:28:47] between the company and the Trump administration, what
[00:28:51] is it that is somehow most important that we could
[00:29:06] In Kitin's report, you
[00:29:09] the hearing
[00:29:13] that there is a lot
[00:29:16] of information that we publicly know
[00:29:20] that the company
[00:29:23] firma
[00:29:25] was founded right
[00:29:28] after it was announced.
[00:29:32] Whether America has an interest in making that
[00:29:35] interconnection for BiH
[00:29:39] gas to be excluded from that
[00:29:43] project with Bechtel, who was also
[00:29:46] interested in participating in that project, now it is no longer
[00:29:49] clear who will do what,
[00:29:53] but
[00:29:57] it was seen in the papers that there is a connection
[00:30:01] between Trump's interests and this
[00:30:04] project,
[00:30:11] but it is clear to me according to
[00:30:14] the report
[00:30:16] that at the core of the previous
[00:30:19] policy, this is a big
[00:30:22] deviation.
[00:30:26] The US has supported this
[00:30:30] project for some time.
[00:30:33] And from the beginning it was supposed
[00:30:37] to be part of the Adriatic
[00:30:40] gas pipeline, but it wasn't,
[00:30:43] so
[00:30:47] to move away from all that, to a company
[00:30:50] that was founded immediately
[00:30:53] after the adoption of the amendments to the law
[00:30:57] on gas.
