For the first time with the help of new [00:00:31] technologies.

[00:00:43] listića. [00:00:47] German Chancellor, on an unannounced visit to Kyiv, promises additional [00:00:51] aid [00:00:51] to Ukraine. [00:00:58] Bosnia and Herzegovina is electing a new one today. For the next four years, polling stations [00:01:02] across the country opened at 7 AM, and citizens will until 7 PM [00:01:05] elect members of the Presidency of Bosnia and [00:01:08] of Oasis guitarist is also at Herzegovina, representatives in the state and federal parliament, the president and vice-presidents of the Republic of [00:01:12] Srpska, deputies to the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska, and [00:01:15] representatives in cantonal assemblies. More than [00:01:19] 3.4 million voters are registered on the central voter [00:01:22] list, while among the 7,28 certified candidates, a total of [00:01:25] 518 mandate holders will be elected. [00:01:28] 5,500. 69 polling stations were formed, these are the first elections [00:01:32] in Bosnia and Herzegovina that are conducted using biometric [00:01:35] voter identification, ballot scanners, as well as with [00:01:39] rapid transmission of election results. According to the information [00:01:42] collected so far, municipal and city election commissions [00:01:45] have accredited about 25,000 observers [00:01:48] from political entities, and it is estimated that about [00:01:51] 30,000 observers [00:01:53] will monitor the elections in total. [00:01:56] By 11 AM, in the general elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina, voters had cast their votes. [00:02:01] voters, announced the president of the Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina [00:02:05] Jovan Kalaba. At the same time, at some polling stations, problems were recorded [00:02:08] with new election technologies, due to which some [00:02:12] polling stations had to be temporarily [00:02:14] closed after opening. Some polling stations in Bosnia and Herzegovina [00:02:18] did not open exactly at seven o'clock. According to information from municipal and [00:02:22] city election commissions, a smaller number of polling stations are not yet open or [00:02:26] opened and then closed due to problems with the operation of ballot [00:02:29] scanners, which is being resolved by [00:02:32] replacing the scanner. By [00:02:35] 11 AM in Bosnia and Herzegovina, [00:02:38] 406,847 [00:02:41] voters, or 11.94%, had voted. [00:02:45] For comparison, at the same time in the general elections [00:02:48] of 2022, 15% of voters had voted. [00:02:52] As you can see on the screen, [00:02:53] that number [00:02:56] is changing and we already have 413. [00:03:02] Among those who voted by 11 AM, [00:03:05] 44.10% were women and [00:03:07] 55.90 [00:03:10] percent were men. We are happy that by 11 AM, [00:03:14] 5,757 voters who, after [00:03:18] reaching 18 years of age, voted for the first time [00:03:21] had also voted. Also, voter verification takes on [00:03:25] average 37, 35 seconds from search to [00:03:28] printing the confirmation. uninterrupted [00:03:31] communication with the election administration in the field. There was [00:03:35] a problem with the operation of the identification device for a small number of [00:03:38] voters, mainly with newly issued ID cards, and for [00:03:41] that problem, we sent clear instructions to the field. We had [00:03:45] reports from voters that the candidate lists given to voters [00:03:49] during voting were already marked by the previous voter. We gave [00:03:53] instructions that the voter must receive candidate lists without [00:03:56] markings, that any marks must be removed by erasure. by the [00:04:00] polling committee, these are the candidate lists that are given [00:04:03] with the ballots, according to [00:04:07] our information, most of the problems were [00:04:10] in Bijeljina and according to the latest information, the [00:04:14] situation there has stabilized, we only have one polling [00:04:18] station that was not opened by 11 [00:04:20] AM, [00:04:24] while citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina today elect a government for the next four years, the N1 [00:04:28] team spoke with Mostar residents about what they expect after the closing of [00:04:31] polling stations. Citizens' responses range from complete disappointment [00:04:35] to the belief that nothing will change, to the hope that [00:04:38] the elections might still bring a better, more secure [00:04:41] future. After the elections, we just [00:04:44] need to know what, will it change, will it not, we hope [00:04:47] for better, but oh my, that's what it is [00:04:51] and I expect nothing, a little harder, much [00:04:54] harder situation than it has been so far, unfortunately, that's how it [00:04:57] is, we'll wait for new elections, that's it... [00:05:00] "to hope, to hope that it will be better for us, [00:05:04] to start something, [00:05:06] so that people here are cheered up by [00:05:09] something and so on, it's not important anymore how much [00:05:13] in some security, [00:05:16] political security, so that people can be [00:05:19] calm, not fear that there will be some [00:05:22] conflict, that intolerance among peoples will stop, [00:05:26] there is no, no reason whatsoever, all [00:05:29] the best, better than before, that's what we [00:05:33] hope for, we hope for it, it should be, because we wouldn't [00:05:36] have come out if we didn't [00:05:37] hope. [00:05:40] Polling stations in Banja Luka opened. This morning at 7 AM, a large number of citizens [00:05:44] have been recorded coming to vote since the opening. The atmosphere at the [00:05:48] polling stations is calm, the election process is proceeding without visible tensions. Members of the [00:05:52] polling committees are guiding citizens through the procedure, while special attention [00:05:55] is paid to the application of new election technologies. At certain [00:05:59] moments, shorter queues also form while citizens patiently [00:06:02] wait to cast their votes. [00:06:05] There was a delay this morning at several, [00:06:08] I think nine polling stations, as far as the technical aspect is concerned. [00:06:13] several places where the polling committee failed [00:06:16] to count all the received [00:06:19] ballots by 7 AM, given that these are [00:06:22] now ballots that are somewhat [00:06:26] harder paper compared to earlier elections, and that's why [00:06:29] the counting process was somewhat [00:06:32] slower, overall, we have no reported [00:06:36] cases of any breach of public [00:06:39] order and peace. "We had no problems at the [00:06:43] polling stations, 25 mobile teams went [00:06:47] to the field this morning, where [00:06:50] 1166 voters will vote [00:06:53] through mobile [00:06:55] teams, from the very first [00:06:59] minute, we had problems with the scanner, but we resolved that, then later [00:07:02] on the ID card reader, but we resolved [00:07:06] it, meaning it's important that people who [00:07:09] know this type of operation, right, the actors, [00:07:13] can solve it, and we who are, right, someone who [00:07:17] has worked with a copier or a scanner can very easily [00:07:20] come to a solution, you know, [00:07:24] because everything is written in Serbian, it's very simple when you open it, you see what it is, what [00:07:28] it's about, and it's removed, so [00:07:31] the operators were only needed at the beginning, and everything [00:07:35] else happens by itself. [00:07:39] And what would I like, I would like... "everyone [00:07:43] to do their job and [00:07:46] what has been so far is not bad, but it can probably [00:07:50] be better, changes and nothing [00:07:52] more, just changes, we have mostly always participated [00:07:56] in elections, so I think today we will fulfill [00:07:59] our civic duty. And what we [00:08:03] vote for, we probably think and want them to do [00:08:07] their best, to have some changes, to have some..." better, this [00:08:10] has been terrible so [00:08:14] far, so I expect maybe some [00:08:16] change, something a little better for us to generally [00:08:19] start [00:08:21] All 138 polling stations in the Brčko District were opened this morning [00:08:25] on time, and two mobile teams are active. The election process is proceeding with minor [00:08:29] technical difficulties, mainly due to new election [00:08:32] technologies. I expect that we will give politicians the same [00:08:35] salary so that they can argue, maybe it will be better [00:08:38] for us, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, I expect some changes. [00:08:43] for the better, we expect nothing, meaning it's all the same faces, the same [00:08:46] people, it will only be worse, especially in the Brčko District, [00:08:49] I expect something better than what has been so far, [00:08:52] and I hope so. [00:08:55] Most polling stations in the Tuzla area opened on time this morning, voters [00:08:59] have a total of 154 regular polling [00:09:02] stations available, as well as one polling station for absentee voting. Voting is [00:09:06] taking place at 52 locations, and nine mobile teams were engaged for the needs of the [00:09:09] election process. [00:09:12] I expect big changes because of that little piece of paper we [00:09:16] get with a picture, actually they get it, it's known [00:09:19] who votes, I'm very glad that the dead no longer vote, [00:09:23] nothing, believe me, these old ones should all be [00:09:26] removed, 30-something years [00:09:29] we've been waiting for better, this is God save us, so I expect things to move [00:09:33] forward a little and for the better, I think it's [00:09:36] time, we must have realized over the past four [00:09:39] years what is better for us [00:09:43] so let's leave it at that. [00:09:46] What do I expect, what can I [00:09:48] tell you, I've voted, voted, voted, voted, [00:09:52] so many times and nothing special has ever [00:09:56] been done. I don't know what to tell you what I [00:09:59] expect. It's the [00:10:02] same. [00:10:04] Election day in Bihać is proceeding without major problems. All polling stations [00:10:08] are functioning, as are the four mobile teams. At several polling stations, minor [00:10:12] delays were recorded in the opening of polling stations. According to preliminary [00:10:15] data, over 4,000 citizens [00:10:19] had voted in Bihać by 11 AM. I will fulfill my civic [00:10:23] duty, but as for hoping for something, I don't. [00:10:26] Everyone should fulfill their civic duty, especially I appeal [00:10:30] to the youth, the youth are the ones who can do something [00:10:34] for this country to make our tomorrow better, so it [00:10:38] was good, it's just that they were a bit late, that annoys me, [00:10:41] it wasn't seven o'clock as announced, since we pensioners came, there were more [00:10:45] of us, we had to wait a bit, but it's okay, and it's a bit harder [00:10:49] to vote, you have to pay the colors, really, now everything is going [00:10:52] great, the electron... [00:10:55] I hope that the best ones who deserve it will get [00:10:59] the votes, I especially hope that as many women as possible [00:11:02] will pass, so I congratulate them all and wish them success, [00:11:06] we'll see what happens, I can't know what will happen, [00:11:10] good. [00:11:14] Ukraine will intensify its attacks on Russian refineries in response to [00:11:18] the intensification of Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy and [00:11:21] infrastructure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with Reuters. [00:11:25] He said that Ukrainian intelligence services had found documents on a [00:11:28] new Russian doctrine, according to which, he said, Russia is expanding the list [00:11:32] of its targets to include civilian objects, with the aim of forcing [00:11:35] Ukrainians to leave [00:11:36] cities. [00:11:42] We must respond as we can. After their attacks [00:11:45] on our energy, we must respond with attacks on theirs. First of all, [00:11:49] refineries that give them money to wage war, but we will not [00:11:52] target, unlike them, civilian objects. We cannot do [00:11:56] that because we are a different people, we are [00:11:58] human. [00:12:02] German Chancellor Fredrik Merz arrived on an unannounced visit [00:12:06] to Ukraine to promise additional assistance in defense against Russian attacks. "If [00:12:10] Russia is not stopped, its war machine will sooner or later [00:12:13] turn against us," Merz said upon arrival. Merz arrived in Kyiv [00:12:17] accompanied by directors of German defense companies to [00:12:20] show support for President Volodymyr Zelensky amid increasingly frequent [00:12:24] Russian attacks on provincial [00:12:27] cities. Today I will tell President Zelensky, you can continue to count on our help, Merz [00:12:30] said. [00:12:33] And finally, let's look at the weather forecast. Good [00:12:36] day, what kind of weather awaits us today until the [00:12:39] end of the day, and the beginning of next week. [00:12:43] According to the satellite image, [00:12:46] we see that we are still in a field of clear skies, while a smaller [00:12:50] amount of unstable air has penetrated [00:12:53] over the western Mediterranean countries, and over [00:12:56] Spain, we have strong development of daily cloud cover and [00:13:00] showers that also have tropical [00:13:03] characteristics. [00:13:05] The weather situation here is influenced by a high-pressure [00:13:09] field that extends from the east over our [00:13:12] regions. This field is slowly weakening before the arrival [00:13:16] of this cyclone that will be moving from Spain [00:13:20] towards the Gulf of Genoa, bringing [00:13:23] a change in weather here, but... [00:13:25] only sometime in the middle of the week, from the middle [00:13:29] of the week onwards. Today, [00:13:31] sunny, relatively warm, with increased [00:13:35] bora wind only in the far south of the Adriatic, while in the rest [00:13:38] of the Adriatic, the maestral [00:13:41] wind will blow. In the interior, [00:13:44] temperatures will be around 20°C. In [00:13:48] Herzegovina and on the Adriatic, 25 to [00:13:50] 26°C. Sea temperature is [00:13:54] between 22 and [00:13:56] 24°C. [00:14:00] Further development of the weather situation will be under the influence of the cyclone [00:14:03] that will be approaching our [00:14:06] regions and starting to affect the weather [00:14:09] sometime on Wednesday already with a change in [00:14:12] circulation, it will start from the south, [00:14:16] on Thursday, cloud cover will start to [00:14:19] gather from the west, on Thursday we can already [00:14:22] expect occasional rain. [00:14:25] This change in weather will also be connected [00:14:29] with a slight drop in [00:14:32] air temperature, so the air temperature will be somewhere in the [00:14:36] interior around 12°C, [00:14:39] maximum daily in Herzegovina somewhere around [00:14:42] 18°C, and morning temperatures [00:14:46] will remain at the same level as [00:14:49] before, with occasional frost in [00:14:53] basins. [00:14:55] So, today, sunny, warm, [00:14:59] maestral, enjoy this [00:15:01] week, more about the weather you can follow [00:15:05] on our info channels.
