[00:00:24] Good evening, dear viewers, welcome to
[00:00:26] the news.
[00:00:30] Citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina today elected members of government bodies, a total of
[00:00:33] 518 of them. Voter turnout until 5 PM
[00:00:36] was 32.2%. Citizens are electing a new government for the first time with
[00:00:40] the help of new technologies.
[00:00:43] For a little change, for a little betterment, this has been
[00:00:46] terrible so far. So I expect nothing, a slightly tougher, much tougher
[00:00:50] situation than it has been so far, unfortunately it is what it is.
[00:00:54] We always hope for the better, and
[00:00:56] this time we hope. I think that the young people lead us.
[00:01:00] Not old people like me.
[00:01:02] ja.
[00:01:06] More from the news.
[00:01:07] izdvajamo.
[00:01:12] Election day did not pass without
[00:01:14] moved and difficulties. In several locations, the start of voting was prolonged due to
[00:01:17] technical problems with the devices for scanning ballots, and incidents were
[00:01:21] recorded.
[00:01:24] Two years have passed since the catastrophic floods that in
[00:01:27] October 2024 hit Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:01:31] and claimed 27 human
[00:01:33] lives.
[00:01:35] The German Chancellor, on an unannounced visit to Kyiv, promises additional aid
[00:01:39] to Ukraine.
[00:01:43] Tomorrow in Bosnia and Herzegovina, sunny weather with slight to moderate cloudiness,
[00:01:47] daily temperatures from 20 to 26, in the south up to
[00:01:50] 29
[00:01:51] degrees.
[00:01:56] More than 3.4 million registered voters today
[00:02:00] had the opportunity to elect new authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 518 members of government
[00:02:03] bodies were elected, among whom are members
[00:02:07] of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina and representatives who will fill
[00:02:10] the parliamentary seats in the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Federation of BiH,
[00:02:14] the National Assembly of Republika Srpska and the cantons. The
[00:02:18] president and vice-presidents of the entity Republika Srpska were also elected. These are
[00:02:21] the first elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina that are conducted with the use of biometric
[00:02:25] voter identification scanners, ballots, as well as
[00:02:29] with rapid transmission of election results.
[00:02:41] Let's go straight to our reporters. At the Central Election
[00:02:45] Commission is our Melika Balihodžić, at the polling station in Sarajevo Dragica
[00:02:49] Pejaković, in Banja Luka Tatjana Drljić. First we will go to
[00:02:52] Melika. Melika, how was election day, what is
[00:02:55] the turnout, what is the latest information and how did
[00:02:58] the new technologies function?
[00:03:03] Well, Nerma, you started your address precisely
[00:03:06] with that number of voters who had
[00:03:09] the right, you know, to go to the polls to vote,
[00:03:13] so we will start with the turnout, given that here at the Central Election
[00:03:17] Commission, that is what is talked about the most, given that the turnout
[00:03:20] is quite alarming, many can admit, it is quite
[00:03:24] smaller if we compare it with the general elections of
[00:03:26] 2022 and as far as I can see. behind
[00:03:30] my back, that number is currently at 1
[00:03:33] million and 300,000, you mentioned that number of three million
[00:03:37] voters who had the right to vote, according to
[00:03:40] the current situation, so that's only about 40%
[00:03:44] of the population with voting rights who responded to these
[00:03:48] elections, you mentioned new technologies and asked how all that
[00:03:51] went, what is encouraging is that
[00:03:54] only a small number of recorded problems in
[00:03:57] percentages relate to problems with technologies. We are aware that
[00:04:00] there were delays in many places with the
[00:04:03] start due to problems with the scanners, however, according to
[00:04:07] data from the Pod Lupom coalition, this accounts for only
[00:04:10] about 11 or 17%, so in
[00:04:13] all problems with technologies, while a much
[00:04:16] larger percentage of those problems are more serious violations
[00:04:20] of electoral rules, almost a hundred of them
[00:04:23] were recorded in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so those are the kinds of problems we had
[00:04:27] even before these new electoral technologies.
[00:04:30] where the right to assistance in voting was violated or
[00:04:34] observers, for example, were prevented from doing their
[00:04:37] job, we know that this morning there was a lot of talk about those
[00:04:40] delays, delays with the start of voting in Bijeljina
[00:04:44] and some other places, what is important to note immediately
[00:04:47] is that in all those places where it did not start on time,
[00:04:51] i.e., at 7 AM this morning, voting will be
[00:04:54] extended for the same amount of time that it was delayed, giving voters the right
[00:04:57] to vote, while any eventual... repetitions of the electoral
[00:05:01] processes will be, whether there will be any, so we will know that only a little
[00:05:05] later, new, new problems have appeared for which we will,
[00:05:09] for which we will seek an answer from the CIK, such as for example the case of Užepi where
[00:05:12] almost completed material was found
[00:05:15] in a car, these problems appeared where voters in some places
[00:05:18] in Bosnia and Herzegovina, those auxiliary ballots for voting,
[00:05:22] i.e., with the names of candidates were given already filled
[00:05:26] out so that their attention would be drawn to them, journalists actually asked this morning
[00:05:29] at the first press conference at 12 to the Central
[00:05:33] Election Commission, they said that we will receive all clarifications at the next
[00:05:36] press conference which is expected here in less than an hour, so then at
[00:05:40] 8 PM the Central Election Commission will reconvene, what we will reliably
[00:05:44] know is the final turnout and
[00:05:48] the complete summary of election day, and
[00:05:51] only preliminarily, or incomplete, we will know those results given
[00:05:55] that those new electoral technologies worked in the so-called
[00:05:58] offline mode, so only after the polling
[00:06:02] stations close, most of them at 7 PM
[00:06:05] in fact
[00:06:08] those computers or technologies will print out a statement which will be
[00:06:12] sent to the member of the polling committee, and then they will
[00:06:15] access the network, so with all
[00:06:19] that technology, then after 7 PM
[00:06:22] through the new technology, the data will begin
[00:06:25] to be delivered to the base here where we are located at the CIK, we remind you
[00:06:29] once again, the press conference is at 8 PM, answers to all
[00:06:33] problems and only preliminary incomplete results, given that
[00:06:37] all votes will also have to be
[00:06:41] counted manually and compared with all that
[00:06:44] technology has shown us, it
[00:06:47] will again be done in the main counting center, and the CIK
[00:06:50] emphasizes that this process this year
[00:06:54] is more rigorous than ever
[00:06:55] before.
[00:06:59] Live from the Central Election Commission Melika Balehodžić, let's go to
[00:07:02] Sarajevo and Dragica Pejaković, Dragica, how was election day in
[00:07:06] Sarajevo, what do the citizens say, how did they cope with the new
[00:07:09] technologies, and has the polling station closed that
[00:07:13] you are currently
[00:07:13] in?
[00:07:17] Nerma, we are currently located in the municipality
[00:07:20] of Novi Grad and this polling station is still not closed
[00:07:24] and what I would like to highlight during this election
[00:07:28] day in the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, what is
[00:07:31] interesting is that this morning no significant
[00:07:35] crowds were recorded at polling stations,
[00:07:38] but there were in the afternoon hours.
[00:07:42] Especially in the last three or four hours, there were really huge
[00:07:46] crowds at polling stations across Sarajevo,
[00:07:50] or across Canton Sarajevo. When it comes to
[00:07:54] how this day passed, according to the report of the Ministry of Interior of Canton
[00:07:58] Sarajevo, election day passed in a
[00:08:01] safe environment, there were no major incidents,
[00:08:05] except for four cases where the police intervened, the first
[00:08:08] case concerns the municipality of Centar, where there was a verbal
[00:08:12] misunderstanding, an argument between members of the election commission,
[00:08:16] so the police intervened and recorded everything and
[00:08:20] three cases relate to the municipality
[00:08:23] of Ilijaš, in two of those three cases
[00:08:26] it was recorded that political activists near
[00:08:29] polling stations were distributing promotional materials,
[00:08:32] the police intervened, these were seized and everything
[00:08:36] was documented by an official police
[00:08:39] report and the fourth case.
[00:08:43] concerns a voter in the municipality of Ilijaš who
[00:08:47] verbally protested about what he stated was a complicated
[00:08:50] procedure when it comes to voting. So, fortunately
[00:08:54] there were no major incidents in Canton Sarajevo,
[00:08:58] there were no technical difficulties as was
[00:09:01] the case in other individual parts
[00:09:05] of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but what was mostly emphasized by
[00:09:09] older voters with whom we spoke during the day. is that the
[00:09:12] procedure was really complicated, i.e. this new
[00:09:16] way of voting and as they point out, most of the time
[00:09:19] they actually lost, as they say, on understanding
[00:09:22] how, how to vote correctly,
[00:09:26] and when it comes to the expectations
[00:09:30] of citizens, they mainly concern
[00:09:33] political stability, hoping for new
[00:09:36] better economic opportunities, a better standard of living and
[00:09:40] what was really highlighted. What older voters mostly mentioned
[00:09:44] is that opportunities must be given to young people, that
[00:09:47] is, that there must be many more opportunities for
[00:09:51] young people as the biggest problem we currently have in
[00:09:55] Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has been present for a long time
[00:09:59] is the departure of young people,
[00:10:02] and their wish is precisely that
[00:10:06] young people be given opportunities to stay in Bosnia and
[00:10:09] Herzegovina. Let's hear, among other things, what else the
[00:10:13] voters said, if we want change for the better, the
[00:10:17] more of us come out, the better, if those who haven't justified
[00:10:21] themselves so far, they have their voters. Unfortunately, that's how it is,
[00:10:25] and we who seek change,
[00:10:28] should come out, if we don't come out it will be the same, then again four
[00:10:32] years as it was and
[00:10:36] that's it, voting is important, that is a basic civic
[00:10:39] duty, isn't it an obligation, we always
[00:10:42] hope for the better, and this time we hope, I think
[00:10:46] it's important that everyone comes out, that there's a massive turnout
[00:10:50] for the elections, we'll see, I only hope for improvement,
[00:10:54] we must hope that things will be better for us, that I am a very big optimist
[00:10:57] and I am not, but we must hope, in any case, I think we should go out,
[00:11:01] so I expect changes, but I'm afraid that few
[00:11:04] people will come out, people are already distrustful, they have lost
[00:11:08] trust, hope and so on, especially older
[00:11:11] people, everyone should come out grandmas,
[00:11:14] grandpas, everyone
[00:11:17] to vote for our children, for our
[00:11:21] youth, so that young people lead us, not old people like me.
[00:11:28] So, these were the messages and expectations
[00:11:31] of voters from Sarajevo, the greatest wish
[00:11:35] is precisely to provide better opportunities for young people to stay
[00:11:38] in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but our interlocutors were
[00:11:41] not
[00:11:44] exactly optimistic when it comes to
[00:11:48] whether things will get better for us after these
[00:11:51] elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina, here Nerma, while
[00:11:54] we are talking. while we are talking, voting is coming to an end
[00:11:58] here in this at
[00:12:01] this polling station, i.e., at Fatima Gunić Elementary School,
[00:12:04] as well as throughout the capital of Bosnia and
[00:12:07] Herzegovina. This was Dragica Pejaković, let's go
[00:12:11] live to Banja Luka, our Tatjana Drljić is there. Tatjana, how was
[00:12:15] election day in Banja Luka, what do the
[00:12:17] citizens say?
[00:12:22] Well, Norma, election day here in the city was quite
[00:12:26] peaceful, I must say, although at the level of Republika Srpska, the Ministry
[00:12:29] of Internal Affairs of the entity recorded several
[00:12:33] violations which will be
[00:12:36] subsequently reported, and what marked
[00:12:39] election day was actually the delay
[00:12:43] at even nine polling stations that did not open on time
[00:12:47] this morning at 7 AM. By 12 PM,
[00:12:50] so by noon, that problem
[00:12:54] was resolved, so by 12 PM
[00:12:58] almost all polling stations were fully functional, but what
[00:13:01] preceded that delay were problems
[00:13:04] during the implementation of the new electoral technology,
[00:13:08] specifically with ballot scanners, which was, as we heard
[00:13:11] a moment ago, a problem in certain parts of Bosnia and
[00:13:15] Herzegovina and the reason why there were the most
[00:13:18] delays in opening polling stations across Bosnia and
[00:13:22] Herzegovina. I must remind you that in Banja Luka,
[00:13:26] the right to vote, i.e., registered
[00:13:28] citizens for exercising this civic right was
[00:13:32] 1902.
[00:13:34] The last cut-off, i.e., until 3 PM,
[00:13:38] was slightly more than 34%.
[00:13:41] If we compare it with the time
[00:13:44] until 11 AM when the city
[00:13:47] election commission in Banja Luka released those data, we can
[00:13:51] conclude that the turnout in Banja Luka
[00:13:55] was significantly lower than in the previous two election cycles, i.e.,
[00:13:58] including local elections two years ago and general
[00:14:02] elections four years ago, when by that time,
[00:14:05] many, many more people had voted in percentages. However,
[00:14:09] if we again take the average and if we take these data from the Central Election Commission of Bosnia
[00:14:13] and Herzegovina, which therefore specifically stated in
[00:14:16] which cities there was, i.e., the highest
[00:14:20] turnout was recorded in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is absolutely certain that
[00:14:23] Banja Luka, among the larger cities, led the way, that somehow
[00:14:26] there was a greater
[00:14:29] turnout, regardless of the fact that representatives of the city election commission
[00:14:33] were somewhat dissatisfied with the low turnout, they expected much, much more,
[00:14:37] but we see that this is actually a trend from year to year, from
[00:14:41] all parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that it is not surprising
[00:14:44] given that the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina do not have much
[00:14:47] hope that these elections could bring any betterment, and
[00:14:51] what they expect from them, we spoke with citizens today.
[00:14:55] whom we specifically asked this:
[00:14:58] What would they like? I would like everyone
[00:15:02] to do their job,
[00:15:05] and what has been done so far is not bad, but
[00:15:08] it can probably be better, changes and nothing
[00:15:12] more, just changes, we usually always went
[00:15:15] to elections, so I'm doing that today, we will fulfill our
[00:15:19] civic duty, and what we vote for,
[00:15:22] we believe and want them to work
[00:15:26] as best as possible, for a little change, for a little betterment,
[00:15:30] this has been terrible so far, so
[00:15:33] I expect maybe some change,
[00:15:36] something a little better to generally
[00:15:38] start,
[00:15:43] and while some believe that it was not bad during these
[00:15:46] four years, some hope that it will be much,
[00:15:50] much or at least slightly
[00:15:53] better, I must note that a new press conference of
[00:15:56] the city election commission is expected around 7:30 PM,
[00:16:00] so before those
[00:16:02] preliminary results that the
[00:16:06] Central Election Commission will present around 8 PM, at this
[00:16:09] first one it will be known how many citizens
[00:16:13] of Banja Luka ultimately turned out and exercised their civic
[00:16:17] right in the elections, and I just want to remind
[00:16:20] you once again that today there were 259
[00:16:23] functional polling stations, of which
[00:16:26] 25 mobile teams, that
[00:16:30] everything went well, so we can freely say
[00:16:33] in a somewhat
[00:16:36] peaceful atmosphere, there were no major problems except those that were, as we
[00:16:39] heard, recorded due to the implementation of new electoral
[00:16:43] technology, i.e., ballot
[00:16:46] scanners.
[00:16:48] These were our live reporters, Melika Balihodžić, Dragica
[00:16:52] Pejaković and Tatjana Drdić.
[00:16:55] And the N1 team spoke with Mostar residents about what they expect after
[00:16:59] the closing of polling stations. Citizens' answers range from complete
[00:17:02] disappointment and conviction that nothing will change to hope that
[00:17:06] the elections might still bring a better,
[00:17:09] safer After the elections, we just
[00:17:12] need to know what, will it change, will it not, we hope
[00:17:16] for the better, but dear God, that's what it is
[00:17:19] and I expect nothing, a slightly tougher, much tougher
[00:17:23] situation than it has been so far, unfortunately it is what it
[00:17:26] is, we will wait for new elections, well we hope,
[00:17:30] we hope for the better, for something to
[00:17:33] start, for the people
[00:17:36] to rejoice in something and so on, it's not important anymore
[00:17:40] how much in some
[00:17:42] security,
[00:17:44] political security, so that people are
[00:17:47] peaceful, not to fear conflicts
[00:17:51] of some kind, to stop intolerance among peoples,
[00:17:54] there is no reason
[00:17:57] whatsoever, all the best, better than it has been so far,
[00:18:01] well we hope, we hope, it should
[00:18:05] be, right, if we didn't hope, we wouldn't come out.
[00:18:09] All 138 polling stations in the Brčko District
[00:18:13] opened on time this morning, the election process went smoothly with minor technical
[00:18:17] difficulties, mainly due to new election technologies.
[00:18:20] I expect us to give politicians the same salary so that
[00:18:24] they argue, maybe things will be better for us too, maybe, maybe, maybe,
[00:18:28] maybe, so I expect some changes for the better, we
[00:18:31] expect nothing, it's all the same faces, the same people,
[00:18:34] it will only get worse, especially the Brčko District. Something better than what
[00:18:38] it has been so far and
[00:18:41] I hope, I hope for better
[00:18:42] changes,
[00:18:46] most polling stations in Tuzla opened on time this morning, here's
[00:18:49] what the citizens of this city expect from the elections,
[00:18:53] I expect big changes because
[00:18:56] of that little paper we get with a picture, actually they get it,
[00:18:59] it's known who votes, I'm very glad
[00:19:02] that the dead no longer vote, nothing, believe me, these old people
[00:19:06] should all
[00:19:09] We've been waiting for something better for 30-something years, this is God forbid, so
[00:19:13] I expect things to move forward a little and towards something better,
[00:19:16] I think it's time, I guess we
[00:19:19] have learned over the past four years
[00:19:22] what is better for us, so
[00:19:26] let's leave it at that, what do I expect, what can I
[00:19:30] tell you, I've been voting, voting, voting, voting, for
[00:19:33] so long, nothing special has ever been done,
[00:19:37] nothing. Nothing special has been done, I don't know what to tell you, what
[00:19:40] I expect, it's
[00:19:43] the same.
[00:19:45] Election day in Bihać passed without major problems, in several polling
[00:19:49] stations, minor delays were recorded with the opening
[00:19:52] of polling stations. I fulfill my civic
[00:19:55] duty, but I don't hope for anything,
[00:19:59] I don't hope. Everyone should fulfill their civic duty, I especially
[00:20:03] appeal to the youth, the youth are the ones who can do something
[00:20:06] for this country so that we have a better
[00:20:09] tomorrow. Well, it was good, this only
[00:20:13] bothered me that it was a little late, not everyone was there at 7 o'clock as it was said,
[00:20:16] so we pensioners came, there were more of us, we had to wait a little,
[00:20:20] but it's okay, and it's a little harder to vote, you have to choose,
[00:20:24] really everything is going great now,
[00:20:27] electronically, I hope that the best ones who
[00:20:30] deserve it will get the votes, I especially hope
[00:20:34] that more women will pass, so I congratulate
[00:20:37] all of them and wish them success, we'll see what happens, I can't
[00:20:41] do anything, you know what will
[00:20:42] happen,
[00:20:45] well, here's what the citizens of Srebrenica expect from
[00:20:48] the elections.
[00:20:50] "We all expect some improvement,
[00:20:54] although we don't really see any special signs and
[00:20:57] optimism, because it's mostly the same
[00:21:01] candidates rotating in those
[00:21:04] list holders, to move towards a better, complete country, so to speak,
[00:21:08] so that there are no conflicts, they should try
[00:21:11] to reach an agreement, those at the top of the municipality, so that people live
[00:21:14] better, that there are higher salaries,
[00:21:18] that everyone can live from their work,
[00:21:21] that there is more work.
[00:21:23] Immediately after the news, don't miss the special broadcast dedicated to
[00:21:27] the general elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina, watch until the
[00:21:30] end.
[00:21:33] After the trams started running to Hrasnica, will it now
[00:21:37] become a new urban zone
[00:21:39] of Sarajevo?
[00:21:43] Two years have passed since the catastrophic floods that hit Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:21:46] in October 2024, claiming
[00:21:50] 27 human lives. The worst hit was Donja Jablanica, when on the
[00:21:54] fateful night of October 4th to 5th, 19 residents died.
[00:21:57] On the fateful night, a huge amount of earth, stones and
[00:22:00] water from the quarry in Donja Jablanica
[00:22:04] poured into the settlement. Many residents then
[00:22:07] lost their homes. In this case, investigative bodies have been conducting an investigation for two years,
[00:22:11] but without concrete results. Besides Donja
[00:22:14] Jablanica, as a result of the storm and catastrophe, five people died
[00:22:18] in the municipality of Konjic, in Buturović Polje, and three
[00:22:22] people in Fojnica. In memory of the great tragedy, the municipality of
[00:22:25] Jablanica declared Sunday, October 4th, a day
[00:22:29] of mourning in that
[00:22:30] municipality.
[00:22:34] A few days after the first tram arrived in Hrasnica, it is clear that the new
[00:22:38] line is more than just a regular traffic project. Now, after its
[00:22:42] arrival, the question is no longer how much it will ease the daily commute
[00:22:46] of citizens, but whether Hrasnica will now become a new
[00:22:49] urban zone of Sarajevo.
[00:22:52] In addition to the new line easing the daily
[00:22:55] commute for residents of Hrasnica and surrounding settlements, its
[00:22:58] impact could be wider than just public transport. We
[00:23:02] have waited for this for a long time, especially those of us who worked in Famos, it was talked about 50
[00:23:06] years ago. Nothing better has happened to us since the war.
[00:23:10] This is excellent. Now we will also have a cable car.
[00:23:13] It has been done, you know, it has been elected. Hrasnica
[00:23:16] has really livened up a bit, apparently now settlements
[00:23:20] will be built, new buildings, that the new line
[00:23:24] has already attracted attention even outside Hrasnica, confirmed by those who
[00:23:27] out of curiosity took a ride to this neighborhood. I
[00:23:31] was in Hrasnica once as a girl, only once and
[00:23:34] never again, and I said I wanted to see how it is
[00:23:38] now in Hrasnica, how the tram was, I liked it. This was almost
[00:23:42] a desert now, if that cable car
[00:23:46] and maybe a department store were built,
[00:23:49] it should become a more attractive settlement.
[00:23:52] Interest in Hrasnica is growing in the real estate market,
[00:23:56] according to real estate experts, since the beginning of the line construction, apartment
[00:23:59] prices have increased by about 20%. A square meter
[00:24:03] of old construction today reaches 3,500 marks.
[00:24:06] Generally, all real estate has gone up, so it's not
[00:24:10] only Hrasnica that started because of the tram, but it significantly
[00:24:14] contributed to the price of real estate in Hrasnica,
[00:24:18] Sokolović Colony, Kovači. There's Butmir and that whole
[00:24:21] area, for real estate prices, the most important thing is infrastructure, in this
[00:24:25] case when we have that connection of tram tracks and
[00:24:28] so on, of course the prices of all real estate will increase,
[00:24:32] not just land, commercial spaces,
[00:24:35] investor interest. The growing interest in
[00:24:38] residential and commercial construction is confirmed by the municipality
[00:24:42] of Ilidža. This is not an uninhabited area where you
[00:24:45] now have some
[00:24:48] unlimited capacity for building new residential buildings and so on,
[00:24:52] however, we have building plots in the
[00:24:55] area of Hrasnica drawn into
[00:24:58] the regulatory plan for some buildings that were drawn into the regulatory plan
[00:25:02] for the development of Hrasnica a long time ago, and we already have
[00:25:06] requests for the realization of those buildings. However, the
[00:25:09] municipality confirms that the development of Hrasnica will not be limited only to
[00:25:13] residential construction, new business, sports and other
[00:25:16] facilities are planned, along with further development of the existing infrastructure. We have
[00:25:20] I don't know, some complex of several buildings with
[00:25:24] some shopping center, we will also continue to develop this sports
[00:25:28] story and this sports center of ours in Hrasnica,
[00:25:31] of course, somehow logically, the story about the
[00:25:34] cable car from Hrasnica to our Olympic
[00:25:38] mountains follows this. The full effects of the new line, however, could be visible
[00:25:42] only in the long term, experts see it as one of the possible drivers of broader
[00:25:46] urban and economic development of this part of Sarajevo Canton,
[00:25:49] today. It seems, then, that it is a peripheral area, however, the entire
[00:25:53] structure of the Sarajevo Canton area will certainly change in the
[00:25:56] future, new urban centers will have to be formed, so it is truly
[00:26:00] a... uh generating factor,
[00:26:03] meaning one of the key factors that will certainly significantly
[00:26:06] bring a number of benefits. The new railway
[00:26:10] brings Hrasnica closer to the rest of the city, but its significance could
[00:26:14] be much greater than a shorter and simpler journey.
[00:26:17] If the announced projects are realized, the tram could
[00:26:20] be just the first step in the transformation of this part of
[00:26:24] Sarajevo. Fedja Kulina, N1.
[00:26:27] Until the end of the news, don't miss:
[00:26:30] The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until
[00:26:35] the United States agrees to Tehran's conditions
[00:26:39] presented in June, announced the chief Iranian negotiator.
[00:26:43] German Chancellor Fridrich
[00:26:47] Merci arrived in an unannounced visit to Kyiv today and announced a new aid package for
[00:26:51] Ukraine to defend itself and not freeze in winter.
[00:26:54] Merca was greeted by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and
[00:26:58] Russian drones.
[00:27:00] The German Chancellor arrived, as have
[00:27:03] all for the last 4.5 years, by train in Kyiv. The Ukrainian
[00:27:06] president took him to the building of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in the center of
[00:27:10] Kyiv, which was destroyed last week in a Russian
[00:27:13] attack.
[00:27:15] This morning, on a peaceful Sunday, air raid sirens
[00:27:22] sounded in Kyiv. I can only repeat once
[00:27:26] again, Mr. Putin, stop this senseless war. We are ready for
[00:27:29] talks. We are ready to talk about ending this war, but these barbaric
[00:27:33] attacks on the civilian population of Ukraine must
[00:27:36] stop. And this was already the second air raid siren
[00:27:39] this morning out of a total of four. And again,
[00:27:43] a Russian drone fell on the northern bridge, one of the bridges that
[00:27:47] connects the left and right banks of the Dnieper, that is, two
[00:27:50] parts of the Ukrainian capital.
[00:27:53] Absolutely barbaric neighbors,
[00:27:56] the Russians. And that's why we have a terrible attitude towards the people,
[00:27:59] terrible days and nights. What is
[00:28:02] positive is that we have unity and strong partners, and
[00:28:06] we are very grateful, Friedrich, that you are here with an important message,
[00:28:09] a brave message from you personally and from your people. Thank
[00:28:13] you. Merc, after laying flowers with Zelenskyy at the
[00:28:17] national memorial, announced why
[00:28:20] he came to Kyiv on Sunday. Ukraine, with Germany, as well as with a number of
[00:28:24] other countries, has agreements on joint production of
[00:28:28] weapons. another package of military support worth
[00:28:32] one billion euros, we are providing financing for the joint production of
[00:28:35] interceptor drones, before winter we will give 350 million euros for
[00:28:39] energy aid, for generators, substations, necessary
[00:28:43] repairs. As in previous autumn and winter, the Russian army
[00:28:46] is intensively targeting heating plants, substations, power plants, and recently
[00:28:50] also civilian warehouses, schools, for a month now it has been targeting
[00:28:53] Kyiv day and night. The Russian ministry confirmed that it
[00:28:57] hit a bridge in Kyiv, claiming that Ukrainian
[00:29:00] troops were using it. The Russian Ministry of Defense
[00:29:03] announced that it will continue its attacks and that
[00:29:07] Zelensky is responsible for
[00:29:09] this. Aleksandra Gotfra,
[00:29:12] N1.
[00:29:17] The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States agrees
[00:29:21] to Tehran's conditions presented in June, announced the chief Iranian
[00:29:24] negotiator and parliament speaker Muhammad Galile.
[00:29:28] Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi announced that Tehran received a new
[00:29:31] American proposal for a peace plan and that its focus is on
[00:29:34] the nuclear program. He also said that the last Iranian proposal
[00:29:38] foresaw the opening of the strait for seven days. Washington
[00:29:42] rejected that proposal. The American president signaled that he would soon
[00:29:45] make a decision. The statement follows the deployment of additional troops to
[00:29:49] the Persian Gulf.
[00:29:52] We have a decision to make on Iran. Iran has been decimated, so the only
[00:29:56] question is whether it will be the easy or hard
[00:29:58] way.
[00:30:03] "We hope that the United States will choose the path of wisdom and reason,
[00:30:07] but if they again resort to military options, we are now better prepared than before and
[00:30:11] will take all measures necessary to defend ourselves. If they choose the path of
[00:30:15] diplomacy, we are ready. The United States has in the past lost
[00:30:18] in war in
[00:30:19] diplomacy.
[00:30:23] Catalonia was hit by a powerful storm accompanied by heavy rainfall, which left

[00:30:34] announced. Firefighters had to rescue
[00:30:38] drivers trapped in cars. The storm temporarily
[00:30:41] disrupted air traffic in Barcelona as well as railway
[00:30:44] traffic in the region, according to Spanish
[00:30:47] media.
[00:30:51] Voting has begun in Brazil for the presidential elections, which could
[00:30:54] mean the country's return to a right-wing course. 13 candidates are fighting for the presidential
