[00:00:26] Dear viewers, good evening, objections to the legality of the evidence welcome to the news.
[00:00:33] Non-compliance with the visa regulations of the European Union is among the areas in which
[00:00:36] Bosnia and Herzegovina is lagging. The number of non-compliances has
[00:00:40] increased over the years. Could the visa-free regime for citizens of Bosnia and
[00:00:44] Herzegovina be jeopardized? We can expect it to be on the agenda.
[00:00:47] red.
[00:00:51] In tonight's news, watch these
[00:00:53] stories.
[00:00:57] What does the victory of the Democrats in the midterm elections in the USA mean for Bosnia and
[00:01:01] Herzegovina? Will lobbying for Dodik and the southern
[00:01:04] interconnection come under
[00:01:05] investigation?
[00:01:09] Health workers in Sarajevo Canton are dissatisfied with the salary increase,
[00:01:13] and they protested. Minister Hasanović rejects the accusations,
[00:01:16] stating that there is no discrimination.
[00:01:19] The situation occurred where the relevant minister, in reconciliation, granted
[00:01:23] more favorable rights to one group of service jobs. That's why we are here today.
[00:01:27] We want this to be corrected urgently. We will support their demands, but there is
[00:01:31] no
[00:01:31] discrimination here.
[00:01:35] Tear gas, water cannons, fierce clashes on French
[00:01:38] streets, riot police clashed with demonstrators in
[00:01:42] a new wave of unrest that has been shaking the country five months
[00:01:45] before the presidential
[00:01:46] elections.
[00:01:50] Tomorrow, mostly sunny weather, daily temperatures up to
[00:01:53] 19 degrees in the south
[00:01:55] of the country.
[00:02:01] That Bosnia and Herzegovina is increasingly moving away from the European path,
[00:02:04] are messages echoing from Brussels. In addition to numerous areas in which
[00:02:08] it is lagging, no progress has been recorded in the area of visa
[00:02:11] policy, which Bosnia and Herzegovina needs to harmonize with
[00:02:14] the European Union. Can this cost us the visa-free regime with
[00:02:18] the Union?
[00:02:22] indications that Democrats will definitely push The main message of this year's report is
[00:02:23] unequivocal.
[00:02:26] European integration remains a strategic goal for Bosnia
[00:02:30] and Herzegovina, but at the same time, the country is increasingly moving away from its
[00:02:34] European path.
[00:02:37] The lack of progress has been recorded in the area of visa policy. Instead
[00:02:41] of the promised abolition of one visa-free regime annually in the
[00:02:44] period 2025- 27, to which Bosnia and
[00:02:48] Herzegovina committed itself, it extended the seasonal abolition of visas from
[00:02:51] 30 to 60 days. Such moves of non-compliance with the visa
[00:02:55] policy of the European Union directly increase the risk of illegal
[00:02:59] migrations towards the bloc via the Western Balkan route,
[00:03:02] warn the Commission. What are the consequences? Can
[00:03:05] this jeopardize the visa-free regime with the Union? There is still no discussion
[00:03:08] about, therefore, no mention of concrete measures that
[00:03:12] would affect the eventual
[00:03:15] hindrance of entry for citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina into
[00:03:19] the European Union, given the fact that we have not harmonized the visa regime,
[00:03:23] but we can expect it to come on the agenda. I don't think
[00:03:26] that at this moment the visa regime
[00:03:30] with the European Union can be jeopardized, but that obligation
[00:03:33] certainly remains. We started something, but this year we have not
[00:03:37] fulfilled what was agreed. This year we must
[00:03:40] establish a visa regime with one more country. The European
[00:03:44] Commission reminds us that it demands that Bosnia and Herzegovina abolish visa-free regimes with
[00:03:48] Azerbaijan, Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, Russia, China, and
[00:03:51] Vanuatu, and to stop seasonal exemptions for
[00:03:55] citizens of Bahrain, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. At this
[00:03:58] moment, do we have, let's say, two easier countries, Azerbaijan and
[00:04:02] Qatar, for the next two years, or rather, if we fulfill them in this upcoming year, then
[00:04:06] the slightly more difficult ones will come later, like Montenegro, now successfully, China,
[00:04:09] Turkey, and Russia. When you introduce visas for citizens
[00:04:13] of these countries, on the other hand, you will gain access
[00:04:16] to some other countries, you are even more aligned because you become
[00:04:19] a full member. Most European Union countries have
[00:04:22] a visa-free regime with America. This is why the latest annual report
[00:04:26] of the European Commission brought Montenegro the best ratings in the last 20. three
[00:04:30] years, which, as stated, means the country made good progress in all
[00:04:33] negotiating chapters and entered the final phase of accession negotiations with
[00:04:37] the European Union. Tomorrow, it closes two more chapters. In the
[00:04:41] political structures of Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, there is no consensus on
[00:04:44] harmonizing visa policy with the European Union, because political representatives,
[00:04:48] partly from Republika Srpska, partly from Bosniak parties, oppose
[00:04:52] the introduction of visas for those countries with which Bosnia and Herzegovina cultivates close relations
[00:04:56] or economic interests. As we rejected two years ago,
[00:05:00] the request that Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:05:03] introduce visas for Russian citizens, and that is
[00:05:07] something we will not allow, because without us that decision cannot be
[00:05:11] made at the level of Bosnia. Herzegovina, the European
[00:05:14] Union literally conditions the further path to
[00:05:18] the European Union with such decisions. And
[00:05:21] every day there's something new. Those familiar with the situation do not believe
[00:05:24] that established political views will drastically change with the formation of a new
[00:05:28] government at the state level. Dodik very clearly said for Russia, we have, of course,
[00:05:31] this from Bosniak parties all for
[00:05:35] Turkey, the Middle East, those countries. You will recall the statements in this
[00:05:38] previous mandate of the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was very open.
[00:05:43] He propagated, in fact, the non-fulfillment of this obligation
[00:05:46] due to the importance of tourists coming, especially from Middle
[00:05:50] Eastern countries. So, these are countries that are on the list
[00:05:54] for the visa regime required by the European Union. After the elections,
[00:05:57] it is necessary to make a turnaround in fulfilling reforms, which are a condition for Bosnia and
[00:06:01] Herzegovina's membership, are messages from Brussels. However, fewer and fewer
[00:06:04] people believe this, especially when comparing the progress with other candidate
[00:06:08] countries that are negotiating the completion of the process, while Bosnia and
[00:06:12] Herzegovina still needs to show that it can ensure
[00:06:15] its actual start. Tatjana Drljić,
[00:06:18] N1.
[00:06:27] At the same time, the European Union is investing 2 million euros through the
[00:06:31] Lorai project to help local authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina develop
[00:06:34] appropriate mechanisms for using European funds and implementing
[00:06:38] and monitoring reforms on the ground, said the Head of the European Union Delegation to our country.
[00:06:42] country, Luigi Soreka. Soreka participated in the fourth meeting
[00:06:46] of the Working Group for Relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina at the European Committee
[00:06:50] of the Regions, which was held in Travnik, where the role of
[00:06:53] local and regional authorities in the process of European
[00:06:57] integration was discussed. He emphasized that European integration directly affects
[00:07:00] the daily lives of citizens and that its effects
[00:07:04] are particularly visible at the local
[00:07:06] level.
[00:07:09] The goal, of course, is to strengthen these relations between
[00:07:12] state, entity, cantonal,
[00:07:16] and local levels with the European
[00:07:19] Union precisely to ensure that citizens
[00:07:22] can make their contribution through
[00:07:26] their representatives. In this
[00:07:29] sense, there is also an entire
[00:07:32] project, or rather, a program of so-called local
[00:07:36] observatories, valued at 2
[00:07:39] million euros, which is intended to help this
[00:07:42] participation and engagement
[00:07:46] of citizens.
[00:07:49] The idea through the initiative made by the Federation of Municipalities and Cities
[00:07:53] of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina goes in two directions: the first direction is
[00:07:57] that financial instruments are created
[00:08:00] on two tracks, as I would say: one track that goes
[00:08:04] normally for strategic projects, and one easier track where
[00:08:08] local communities could get funds more quickly and efficiently
[00:08:11] to facilitate such an approach. When we build
[00:08:15] that regional water supply, there will still be water losses, and for example, we can
[00:08:18] solve these water losses through these
[00:08:21] smaller, shall I say, parallel track that will strengthen such
[00:08:24] a project. That project is recognized
[00:08:28] in Chapter Three of the growth
[00:08:32] plan, it seems, and it is very important, as Ambassador
[00:08:35] Soreka said, that now financing will go directly
[00:08:39] related to these development strategies, not to projects that
[00:08:42] someone likes in one way or another.
[00:08:44] način.
[00:08:47] Milorad Dodik informed the public today that he arrived in Mar-a-Lago in
[00:08:50] Palm Beach, where he is participating in a conference organized within
[00:08:54] the Republican MAGA movement. While he publishes
[00:08:57] pictures and videos, analysts warn that investigations in
[00:09:00] Congress into Dodik's actions are now
[00:09:03] certain. After the takeover of power under the scrutiny of Democrats, the southern
[00:09:07] interconnection could be under scrutiny.
[00:09:10] What is changing for Bosnia and Herzegovina?
[00:09:12] Jasmin Mujanović says that Dodik's case could soon come
[00:09:16] before the American Congress. Of course, Congress cannot
[00:09:19] define or change US sanctions
[00:09:22] policy, but it can make that,
[00:09:26] i.e., those specific circumstances in which the lifting of sanctions
[00:09:30] for Dodik's midler happened, into a rather painful political issue
[00:09:34] for this administration. Sanctions that
[00:09:38] included asset freezes and a visa ban were imposed by
[00:09:41] the Barack Obama administration in 2017 due to
[00:09:44] undermining the constitutional order. The Biden administration further
[00:09:48] strengthened them five years later, accusing Dodik
[00:09:51] of corruption. The sanctions were lifted in October
[00:09:54] 2025, after the National Assembly of Republika
[00:09:58] Srpska withdrew part of the unconstitutional laws, even though those laws had already been declared
[00:10:02] invalid by a decision of the Constitutional Court. Democrats in
[00:10:05] Congress will later claim that this move was behind
[00:10:09] a million-dollar deal with the southern interconnection, which Dodik had
[00:10:12] obstructed, and which is consequently mentioned in the recently
[00:10:15] presented report "Pay for Play in the
[00:10:18] Balkans".
[00:10:20] released today also finds that the trump administration used
[00:10:24] to
[00:10:55] which will later turn into a discussion about Donald Trump's business interests
[00:10:59] in the Balkans. Is the election of the ambassador now becoming
[00:11:02] uncertain? No comment. But the company
[00:11:05] AFS, which invests in the southern interconnection, says that the outcome
[00:11:08] of the American elections is irrelevant. Investors were decided by the authorities
[00:11:12] of Bosnia and Herzegovina. So, our business has nothing to do
[00:11:16] with or is affected by the elections in the United States.
[00:11:20] There are, so to speak, no problems at all
[00:11:23] for now, nor any negative things
[00:11:27] regarding a possible change of government.
[00:11:30] We do everything in accordance with the law on southern interconnection. But let's go back to
[00:11:34] Milorad Dodik and the authorities of Republika Srpska, who have invested
[00:11:38] millions in recent months for lobbying. What the victory of the Democrats
[00:11:41] means for SNSD, Željka Cvijanović did not specifically
[00:11:45] answer. And we cannot escape the fact that in America, in both
[00:11:49] chambers, namely Congress and the House of Representatives in the Senate,
[00:11:52] you now have a new political situation. You cannot escape the fact that
[00:11:56] the President of America firmly holds in his hands
[00:11:59] various supreme. Analysts
[00:12:03] agree that the change in the balance of power in Congress could hinder
[00:12:07] Trump's actions, but also automatically change American foreign
[00:12:10] policy, which has remained on the path of sovereignty and integrity
[00:12:14] of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but above all, economic interests.
[00:12:18] Democrats have already announced that Congress will have that role
[00:12:21] of observer.
[00:12:24] Various types
[00:12:27] of investigations will be conducted into what Trump's administration did, including in
[00:12:30] Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Balkans. So, if you take into account in
[00:12:34] such a saturated media space as
[00:12:37] the American one, that Milorad Dodik managed to become
[00:12:41] one of the topics in Washington a few weeks ago due to a scandal, these are all
[00:12:47] for an investigation. Apart from Sabina Ćudić, there are no
[00:12:51] political reactions to the majority won by the Democratic Party in Sarajevo.
[00:12:54] Reacting to the elections, the president of our party
[00:12:58] said that it was an opportunity that must not be missed,
[00:13:01] and that the steps being taken will soon be visible. She did not clarify
[00:13:05] what it was about. Tina Jelindizdar,
[00:13:09] N1.
[00:13:12] Reactions to the political upheaval in the USA continue. Before
[00:13:15] Trump are now two years of confrontation with a Democratic majority
[00:13:19] that announces a turnaround in American politics. In
[00:13:22] the continuation, we are live in the news in Washington with us. Nina
[00:13:25] Kljenak, Nina, the American midterm elections are behind us,
[00:13:29] but the real challenges, for Republicans and Democrats alike,
[00:13:32] seem to be yet to come. What could their priorities be in this
[00:13:36] upcoming
[00:13:37] period?
[00:13:41] It seems that the real political thriller is just beginning, so let's try
[00:13:44] to briefly clarify everything. As for the Republicans,
[00:13:48] J.D. Vance was actually the first to speak out publicly
[00:13:51] to the whole world with his post on social
[00:13:55] media, where he wrote this: Was it worth
[00:13:58] entering that war if the Senate was risked to be lost?
[00:14:01] If someone thinks so, let them say so honestly.
[00:14:05] He presented himself as if he wasn't in that government, as if he was just sitting on the sidelines
[00:14:08] and observing, which is almost unbelievable because, uh, considering
[00:14:12] his position, of course, and the fact that he was also part of
[00:14:15] the negotiating team when attempts were made several
[00:14:19] times to talk to Tehran, referring of course to Ratsiranom
[00:14:22] to what certainly decided the consequences on fuel
[00:14:26] prices,
[00:14:28] that Republicans, or Donald Trump, to put it more directly,
[00:14:32] lose the elections. J.D. Vance is in an interesting
[00:14:35] position; many say he wants to become the Republican candidate
[00:14:39] before the upcoming presidential elections in 2028.
[00:14:43] So now he has two options: either to completely
[00:14:46] distance himself from Donald Trump, but this might
[00:14:50] also mean losing some voters, or all the voters of the MAGA movement who are still
[00:14:53] there. They went to the polls. They voted for Republicans,
[00:14:57] i.e., for Donald Trump, in the numbers they wanted, but
[00:15:01] they are there. Or he will, if
[00:15:05] he stays close to him, if he distances himself from him, he will lose those
[00:15:08] voters, and if he stays close to him, what happens then? Then he carries this
[00:15:12] burden of Trump's unpopularity, which also
[00:15:15] clearly and loudly showed itself in these elections.
[00:15:18] So he is not in an enviable position, we will see what will continue to happen with him.
[00:15:22] Republicans, what did they do last
[00:15:25] year? They actually let Donald Trump be the central
[00:15:29] figure of their politics, that everything revolved around that person and their work. It was like that in this campaign.
[00:15:32] Donald Trump practically took over
[00:15:36] the campaign, went to all rallies, directly told
[00:15:39] voters, "People, act as if I am on that
[00:15:42] ballot." After they lost, he then said,
[00:15:46] "If I had been the candidate, I would have won." However, if I may say so, that is
[00:15:49] pure manipulation, so Republicans must decide whether they will
[00:15:53] emancipate themselves, whether they will build both policies and a party and
[00:15:57] individuals who will, therefore, distance themselves from Donald
[00:16:00] Trump himself. That's for the Republicans. As
[00:16:04] for the Democrats, they won.
[00:16:07] Yes, but they need to turn their victory into change,
[00:16:11] which will be a little harder. Many people did not vote for Democrats, but rather
[00:16:15] against Donald Trump. Now Democrats need to offer economic
[00:16:18] changes, economic policies. What I just heard
[00:16:21] in the report, the attitude towards the European Union, the attitude towards Russia,
[00:16:25] the attitude towards Putin, they need to do all that
[00:16:29] in Congress, and now we need to see what the
[00:16:33] president will do when that happens. He still has
[00:16:36] extremely large executive powers in foreign policy and the military. What is
[00:16:40] crucial now is the budget. So the budget
[00:16:43] is approved by Congress, but Donald Trump can veto it.
[00:16:46] Then Congress, if it has a two-thirds majority, which is unlikely,
[00:16:50] can override the president. But these are political games without limits, where
[00:16:54] I think Donald Trump on one side, Republicans on the other, Democrats
[00:16:58] on the third, because now there are three sides, will actually
[00:17:01] exhaust each other. Yesterday, I spoke with
[00:17:04] long-time congressmen from both the Republican and
[00:17:08] Democratic parties who gave an interview for N1 Television.
[00:17:12] Each from their own perspective tried to clarify all these topics
[00:17:15] we are
[00:17:16] discussing.
[00:17:23] our allies and that's been driving up the cost of living in the
[00:17:27] United States. These are bills that the people wanted, they
[00:17:31] said they wanted with their votes last night yesterday, and
[00:17:34] if he wants to veto it, have at it.
[00:17:38] uh and and it'll just turn off the even the
[00:17:41] MAGA base uh if he v vetos these bills,
[00:17:44] so I don't think that he has that option, I think he's going to have
[00:17:47] to sign lot of
[00:17:49] legislation.
[00:17:52] Well, first, what we call the lame duck session, so hang on to your
[00:17:56] hat for the next 60 days, because you have, of course,
[00:17:59] outgoing congress, you have the white house, what will
[00:18:03] embolden itself because it feels it may not have more
[00:18:06] support. "and there's a lot of policies that need to happen,
[00:18:10] but moving beyond the next 60 days, new
[00:18:14] policies, new leadership, uh, you have new
[00:18:16] members of congress and the senate uh, and and by the way, I have lot of
[00:18:20] friends that won and lost yesterday, and and we
[00:18:24] appreciate their service, but moving into 27, you're going to see
[00:18:27] more investigations, you're going to see more oversight, and
[00:18:31] likely we'll see more conflict on the
[00:18:34] hill." "
[00:18:39] We heard what they said, which is along the lines of what I was saying. You know
[00:18:43] how I would conclude this report, I think it's important.
[00:18:47] Democrats are, of course, the objective winners, but the true winners are
[00:18:50] the citizens, the voters of the United States of America, who in large numbers,
[00:18:54] more than in 2022, went to the polls,
[00:18:58] showed what American democracy means to them, which in
[00:19:01] 2026 marks 250
[00:19:04] years since that famous signing of the Declaration of
[00:19:07] Independence in Philadelphia. They distributed power, they did not
[00:19:11] want power to obviously be in the hands of one man, they saw
[00:19:15] his self-inflicted wounds and said with their votes, "Okay, let
[00:19:18] power now be in Congress, in the House of
[00:19:21] Representatives, in the Senate, so you will be forced
[00:19:25] to negotiate, discuss." So they constitutionally limited
[00:19:28] him in that way. I mean, he is limited by the constitution, but he acted
[00:19:32] as if he wasn't. Now, at the moment they
[00:19:35] elected Democrats, they practically limited Donald
[00:19:39] Trump. So it will be extremely interesting to observe the next two
[00:19:43] years of that dialectic between the White House and
[00:19:46] Capitol, what it will bring forth, what it will mean on one
[00:19:49] hand for the citizens of the United States of America, and then how
[00:19:53] that will reflect beyond the borders of the United States of America, i.e.,
[00:19:57] for all of us.
[00:19:59] This was live from Washington, our reporter Nina Kljaja, who
[00:20:03] followed the midterm elections in the USA. And we will continue the news
[00:20:06] again. We are talking about domestic issues. We are talking about flu
[00:20:09] season.
[00:20:13] The first cases of flu confirmed in the Federation and Republika Srpska.
[00:20:16] 43 people hospitalized due to severe acute respiratory
[00:20:20] infection. Vaccination is the only preventive measure, doctors say.
[00:20:23] ljekari.
[00:20:28] Fahidin Munjić, former acting director of the Federal Police
[00:20:31] Administration, gave a statement in Poskok as part of the investigation known as the "Spengavanje"
[00:20:35] affair. Munjić was questioned on the premises
[00:20:38] in the presence of a lawyer after he was subsequently served with a summons for
[00:20:41] questioning. According to unofficial information, Munjić's questioning
[00:20:45] is one of the last steps before a decision is made on filing
[00:20:48] an indictment, which could include at least seven
[00:20:52] people. Raport states that the indictment could be filed as early
[00:20:56] as tomorrow, but the official decision of the prosecutor's office has not yet been
[00:20:59] announced.
[00:21:01] Yes, it is true that today Mr. Munjić presented his defense before
[00:21:05] the prosecutor's office. Uh, the defense actively participated
[00:21:09] in presenting the defense, and in addition, the defense also raised certain
[00:21:14] on which the basic suspicions against the defendant are based,
[00:21:18] which, in the opinion of the defense, are.
[00:21:21] The prosecution is obliged, before making a final decision on filing
[00:21:25] an indictment, to suspend the investigation, to consider the justified, therefore,
[00:21:28] stated objection to legality that the defense
[00:21:31] pointed out today during the questioning, because
[00:21:35] an indictment or a court decision
[00:21:39] cannot be based on illegally obtained evidence.
[00:21:42] In the Cantonal Court in Mostar, tomorrow the first-instance verdict will be pronounced
[00:21:46] for Anis Kalajdžić, accused of the brutal murder of 32-year-old
[00:21:50] Aldina Jahić, illegal acquisition and possession of weapons, and the extended
[00:21:54] criminal offense of endangering security. The Prosecutor's Office of
[00:21:56] the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton and the legal representative of the Jahić family
[00:22:00] requested a unified sentence of long-term imprisonment lasting
[00:22:03] 45 years, which is also the legal maximum. In
[00:22:07] the case of Aldina Jahić's murder, as stated in the closing arguments of the
[00:22:10] prosecution and the family's representative, it is a crime
[00:22:14] preceded by threats, stalking, and illegal
[00:22:17] acquisition of weapons. Kalajdžić's lawyer, Ibro
[00:22:20] Bulić, said that the defense does not dispute that his client
[00:22:23] committed the murder, but believes that gender-based motivation was
[00:22:27] not proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The pronouncement
[00:22:30] of the verdict is scheduled for 11
[00:22:32] o'clock.
[00:22:37] After it was reported in the media that a student of the madrasa in Banja Luka was beaten
[00:22:40] a few days ago and that after several hours of searching he was found
[00:22:44] 5 km from the place where the incident occurred, the Banja Luka
[00:22:48] Police Administration also announced that an investigation is underway
[00:22:51] and states that on November 2nd at around 4:30 PM,
[00:22:55] the disappearance of a minor was reported to the police and that the same person was
[00:22:58] found at around 6:15 PM on the promenade
[00:23:02] next to the Vrbas river. A series of reactions followed. The Minister for
[00:23:05] Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sevlid Hurtić,
[00:23:08] expressed deep concern and condemned
[00:23:11] the allegations of physical assault on the minor madrasa student,
[00:23:14] calling on the competent institutions to immediately clarify all
[00:23:18] circumstances of this case, to determine the responsibility of all persons who
[00:23:22] in any way participated in this event. The attack was also condemned
[00:23:25] by the member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Željka
[00:23:28] Cvijanović. "I expect the competent institutions to clarify
[00:23:31] all circumstances of this attack as soon as possible, to
[00:23:35] bring those responsible to justice and adequately sanction them,"
[00:23:38] Cvijanović said. The President of the National Assembly of Republika Srpska, Nenad
[00:23:42] Stevandić, said that the relations between Serbs and Bosniaks in Banja Luka are at the highest
[00:23:46] possible level and that nothing must jeopardize them, which is why
[00:23:50] it is necessary to clarify this incident as soon as possible, Stevandić said.
[00:23:54] Stevandić.
[00:23:59] Healthcare workers in Sarajevo Canton protested today in front of the Sarajevo
[00:24:02] Canton government building, demanding equal treatment for all
[00:24:06] employees in the healthcare system. The gathering was organized by
[00:24:09] the Union of Healthcare Workers of Sarajevo Canton, following
[00:24:12] dissatisfaction with decisions to increase coefficients for certain
[00:24:16] categories of employees.
[00:24:20] The salary increase for doctors is not disputed, but other healthcare
[00:24:24] workers must not be excluded; everyone must be
[00:24:27] equally valued, is the message from today's protest in front of the Sarajevo
[00:24:30] Canton government. In the past period, we negotiated changes
[00:24:33] to the collective agreement and concluded it with the relevant
[00:24:37] ministry, the government's negotiating team, and the Health Insurance Fund.
[00:24:41] However, a situation occurred where the relevant minister, in
[00:24:44] reconciliation, granted more favorable rights to one group of service jobs.
[00:24:48] Dissatisfaction culminated after
[00:24:50] the union was informed on November 2 that the Union of Medical Doctors and
[00:24:54] Dentists was approved an increase in the coefficient by
[00:24:56] 0.3. Now they demand that this be corrected, existing
[00:25:00] ones amended, and negotiations for a new one started. collective agreement. The group
[00:25:03] of job complexity is the same as for doctors of medicine and doctors
[00:25:07] of dentistry, and the health care law treats us
[00:25:10] the same. It is not fair that only one group of job complexity
[00:25:14] is given a coefficient of 0.3, while other workers receive absolutely
[00:25:18] nothing. This discrimination that has
[00:25:20] occurred was the result of a gross violation of the labor law, which
[00:25:24] does not recognize the professional collective agreement. We
[00:25:26] support negotiations. It is possible that
[00:25:30] there are 10 unions, it is possible to negotiate
[00:25:33] legally impossible for there to be
[00:25:37] separate collective agreements. The Chamber announces lawsuits against the cantonal government
[00:25:41] if there is no alignment of collective agreements
[00:25:44] in terms of the rights arising from them. The same applies to other
[00:25:47] cantonal governments if they separate worker groups that
[00:25:51] form a single healthcare team. We demand that workers' rights be
[00:25:55] unified, that there are no differences. We expect that in
[00:25:58] the coming period we will resolve these issues so that what has
[00:26:01] happened until now will never happen again. The Minister of Health, Inis
[00:26:05] Hasanović, addressed the gathered and rejected accusations of
[00:26:08] discrimination, stating that the government negotiates with each union
[00:26:12] separately and that certain increases have already been agreed upon
[00:26:15] for other employees. He added that the hourly rate has been increased since June,
[00:26:19] while from January next year all employees with
[00:26:22] at least 10 years of service should receive an additional
[00:26:26] 0.1 based on years of service. In the next year, negotiations for a new
[00:26:29] collective agreement will certainly begin and conclude. All three unions will conduct
[00:26:33] negotiations, we absolutely support it, we have shown
[00:26:36] and I will show that healthcare workers
[00:26:39] have the highest salary growth of all other categories in
[00:26:43] Sarajevo Canton, all collective agreements and all changes have been signed with
[00:26:47] the union of healthcare employees, and I think that
[00:26:50] they should really be satisfied because we have increased their salaries all the time
[00:26:54] and we will continue to do so. The gathered trade unionists announced that they will not
[00:26:57] give up, that they will persevere in their struggle and... today they announced
[00:27:01] a protest walk that should be held next
[00:27:05] week. Feđa Kulina, N1,
[00:27:09] Sarajevo. In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:27:12] the first cases of seasonal flu have been confirmed, while in
[00:27:16] Republika Srpska 43 people
[00:27:19] have been hospitalized, excuse me, due to severe
[00:27:22] acute respiratory infection. Flu vaccination in the Federation
[00:27:26] is expected in mid-November, which is the best
[00:27:29] way of protection, is the message from the profession.
[00:27:33] The dilemma about vaccination is current again.
[00:27:36] Authorities appeal to the importance of prevention while some
[00:27:40] citizens plan to get vaccinated, others believe in
[00:27:43] the effectiveness of natural remedies. I haven't had the vaccine so far,
[00:27:47] I don't think I will now either, I try to
[00:27:50] eat healthy, fruits, vegetables,
[00:27:54] protect myself as much as possible, yes
[00:27:57] of course, it's a preventative for
[00:28:01] my better health. I am already at an age where I need to take more care
[00:28:05] of my health and I recommend to everyone who
[00:28:08] is younger and older to do it, quality
[00:28:11] nutrition, lots of vitamins, that's it,
[00:28:14] I believe, and it should be received in any
[00:28:18] case be, be
[00:28:20] careful, although the vaccine can
[00:28:24] help, and it may not help, but
[00:28:27] I suggest that people get vaccinated, and mandatory
[00:28:30] vaccinations, mandatory vaccine. That is the only form of immunization
[00:28:34] especially for older staff, for older people, older patients.
[00:28:38] Vaccination against seasonal flu is especially recommended
[00:28:41] for people with chronic diseases, people older
[00:28:44] than 65, pregnant women, and medical
[00:28:48] staff working in epidemiological departments.
[00:28:51] In Sarajevo Canton, the public procurement process for flu vaccines
[00:28:55] has been completed, and the delivery of more than
[00:28:58] 7,500 doses is expected in mid-
[00:29:01] November. As every year, we will cover the widest possible range that the health center
[00:29:05] can, which is in all nine health centers in Sarajevo
[00:29:08] Canton, meaning all nine municipalities and
[00:29:12] somewhere around 70 or more family medicine clinics, therefore
[00:29:16] our hygienic-epidemiological service already has a schedule. In
[00:29:19] the health centers of the Republika Srpska entity,
[00:29:23] 434 cases of flu have been registered, while data
[00:29:26] from the Public Health Institute of Sarajevo Canton state that
[00:29:30] the registered rate of flu infections
[00:29:33] is 26.41
[00:29:35] percent per 100,000 inhabitants, in the period from
[00:29:39] October 26 to November 1 of this
[00:29:42] year, this is a stable epidemiological
[00:29:45] situation. So we have already started recording patients with
[00:29:49] cold symptoms, flu symptoms at the Institute for Emergency Medical
[00:29:53] Aid, that is, elevated body temperature, muscle
[00:29:56] aches, runny nose, cough, productive,
[00:30:00] dry, pain, there is... weakness,
[00:30:03] exhaustion, sometimes in a smaller population we also have diarrhea
[00:30:06] and vomiting present, so we receive these patients
[00:30:09] daily, at the beginning it is always symptomatic
[00:30:12] therapy. The Public Health Institute of Sarajevo Canton
[00:30:16] particularly emphasizes protective measures that citizens can
[00:30:20] take. We recommend frequent hand washing as the simplest
[00:30:23] and most effective protective measure, if possible avoid large
[00:30:27] gatherings indoors, especially if you belong to a risk group. In addition to
[00:30:31] boosting immunity. Experts remind that
[00:30:34] vaccination is one of the most effective ways
[00:30:37] of preventing flu, but the final decision this year
[00:30:40] remains with the citizens. Hadžera Žutić,
