[00:08:35] A part of the country was hit by a storm accompanied by heavy rain,
[00:08:39] waterspouts, and strong winds. The Meteoalarm
[00:08:42] was raised to a higher level, and new
[00:08:45] inconveniences are possible. All details are provided by meteorologist Tea
[00:08:48] Blažević.
[00:08:51] A warm welcome, dear viewers. A storm cloud has gathered over Istria, as you can
[00:08:54] see, parts are flooded due to abundant rainfall,
[00:08:57] and waterspouts have formed in the sea. The Meteoalarm
[00:09:00] of the State Hydrometeorological Institute has been raised to a higher
[00:09:04] level due to storms, waterspouts, heavy rainfall, and strong
[00:09:07] winds. The weather conditions have changed as a frontal disturbance
[00:09:10] is moving over us. which is moving eastwards,
[00:09:14] which is why tonight there will be rain and showers
[00:09:18] accompanied by thunder, especially in the interior and on the northern Adriatic, in
[00:09:21] northern Dalmatia, in the south it will remain dry during the night, but
[00:09:25] tomorrow those showers will spread to Dalmatia, they can be
[00:09:28] locally more intense, the wind on the continent
[00:09:32] tomorrow will be mostly light, but on the sea a moderate south-easterly, temporarily
[00:09:35] turning to a bora north-westerly, nights
[00:09:38] quite fresh in the interior from 11 to 15, mostly along the coast.
[00:09:42] from 17 to 23, tomorrow regarding the
[00:09:46] Adriatic coast in the south up to 29 in the interior from 21 to
[00:09:50] 26, certainly more modest temperatures, the weekend will
[00:09:53] bring a calming of the weather, but still on Saturday expect there to be
[00:09:57] scattered rain and showers accompanied by thunder, especially in
[00:10:01] the first part of the day, on Sunday
[00:10:03] more favorable, but it won't be completely stable even in the new
[00:10:06] upcoming week, similar applies to the Adriatic coast, and
[00:10:10] here too, the second part of the weekend will bring... sunnier and warmer
[00:10:14] conditions, until then expect continued
[00:10:18] showers accompanied by thunder, which can be
[00:10:20] more pronounced.
[00:10:23] We have reached the end of today's review. Stay with us because we will
[00:10:27] be live again at 6:15 PM at the University of
[00:10:30] Zagreb, where after the meeting of the Scientific
[00:10:33] Council for expert assistance in the remediation of illegally disposed
[00:10:37] waste in Gospić, the statement will be given by the President of the Council,
[00:10:41] the Rector of the University of Zagreb, Stjepan Lakušić. Of course, for
[00:10:44] all the latest information, our portal N1
[00:10:50] attention.
[00:10:51] Goodbye.
[00:11:32] Good evening, dear viewers, welcome to
[00:11:35] the journal.
[00:11:39] Trump's candidate for ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ronald Johnson,
[00:11:43] presented priorities to the Senate: stability, energy, and American
[00:11:47] investments in focus. He unequivocally confirmed that
[00:11:50] genocide was committed in
[00:11:51] Srebrenica.
[00:11:56] From tonight's news, we also
[00:11:58] highlight:
[00:12:03] The Border Police of Bosnia and Herzegovina seized a record
[00:12:06] 1.1 tons of drugs with a street value of up to
[00:12:09] 33 million
[00:12:11] euros.
[00:12:15] Water reductions in Sarajevo are increasingly frequent, and rain is still not
[00:12:18] in sight. In the Bostarići settlement, there has been no water
[00:12:21] šest dana za redom.
[00:12:26] A forest fire is raging in Blidinje, the terrain is inaccessible, and extinguishing
[00:12:29] is only possible from the air. Croatia approved Canadairs as
[00:12:33] humanitarian aid to Bosnia and
[00:12:34] Herzegovina.
[00:12:38] In Mostar and Neum, 32 degrees were measured today. Tomorrow
[00:12:42] in Bosnia and Herzegovina, moderately cloudy, with possible light
[00:12:45] rain in some places.
[00:12:51] The hearing of candidates for US ambassadors to Bosnia and
[00:12:54] Herzegovina and Serbia turned into a sharp debate about the business
[00:12:58] interests of President Donald Trump's family in the Balkans and the possibility that
[00:13:01] US embassies would be used to promote them.
[00:13:05] There was talk of genocide in Srebrenica and the glorification of war
[00:13:09] crimes. Among the priorities
[00:13:12] of Trump's candidate for ambassador to Bosnia and
[00:13:16] Herzegovina are stability, energy, and American
[00:13:19] investments.
[00:13:23] Mr. Johnson. Do you agree that what happened in
[00:13:27] Srebrenica was genocide?
[00:13:30] I think I could unequivocally tell you that Srebrenica was
[00:13:34] a genocide, as were the judgments that were rendered through
[00:13:38] the judicial systems you previously mentioned,
[00:13:40] absolutely.
[00:13:43] Do you agree that it is important to make it clear that this is the position
[00:13:46] of the United States, especially when we hear figures like Milorad
[00:13:50] Dodik while he is trying to encourage separatism and
[00:13:53] cause further ethnic and
[00:13:58] Madam Senator, you can be sure that when I am in office, I will be
[00:14:02] very determined in recommending those courses of action, as
[00:14:06] you previously mentioned, absolutely.
[00:14:09] Democratic Senator Jane Shahin, during the hearing
[00:14:12] of the US ambassador candidate to Bosnia and Herzegovina, recalled the glorification
[00:14:16] of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić by Milorad
[00:14:20] Dodik, advocating for the independence of Republika Srpska and hate speech.
[00:14:24] Ronald responded that he would be a strong advocate for what is
[00:14:28] stated in the National Defense Act, if confirmed, and there, let us
[00:14:32] recall, in the context of the Western Balkans, the possibility of
[00:14:35] individual sanctions returning for undermining the Dayton Peace
[00:14:39] Agreement was mentioned. However, that this would happen could be noticed in the opening
[00:14:42] address. The United States remains committed to the sovereignty
[00:14:46] and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the peace
[00:14:50] established by the Dayton Agreement. Local leaders
[00:14:53] need to take responsibility for the problems in the country, which is actually in
[00:14:57] line with Trump's foreign policy agenda, America first, which
[00:15:01] Johnson himself mentioned. 30
[00:15:03] years after Dayton, the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina increasingly needs
[00:15:07] to be shaped by its own leaders and institutions. If I am
[00:15:11] confirmed, I will encourage pragmatic, locally driven
[00:15:15] solutions for political and economic challenges and support
[00:15:18] efforts to strengthen cooperation among different communities in Bosnia and
[00:15:22] Herzegovina. Johnson spoke about the upcoming elections. He said
[00:15:25] that he would work with all actors to ease
[00:15:28] tensions and preserve stability. He also mentioned Russian and Chinese
[00:15:31] influence, particularly emphasizing economic relations and the energy
[00:15:35] sector, which he called crucial for the United States. They asked him about
[00:15:38] American projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, whether the embassy
[00:15:42] should help private projects of people close to Donald Trump.
[00:15:45] He replied: Everyone is welcome, but
[00:15:47] he added: I don't believe the President would actually
[00:15:51] ask me to help him with financial matters for his
[00:15:54] family, and if he did, I think I would turn
[00:15:58] back to the State Department headquarters to get
[00:16:01] clarification, sir. By the way, Ronald
[00:16:04] Johnson's hearing began with warnings from leading members of the Senate Foreign
[00:16:08] Relations Committee that peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina must not be taken
[00:16:11] for granted, that Washington must clearly defend the Dayton
[00:16:15] Agreement, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the
[00:16:18] country. Tina Jelindizdar
[00:16:20] N1.
[00:16:24] In the continuation of the daily news, do not
[00:16:25] miss.
[00:16:29] What future awaits the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina? Official start
[00:16:33] of the development strategy until 2034. year.
[00:16:42] "In the 'Bure' operation in the Ilijaš area, approximately 1.1 tons
[00:16:45] of synthetic narcotics were seized, which, according to the Border
[00:16:48] Police of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is the largest seizure of
[00:16:52] synthetic drugs in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One person was deprived
[00:16:55] of liberty. The market value of the seized drugs is estimated at
[00:16:59] 5 million euros, while its value after sale in
[00:17:02] individual doses on the street could amount to between 25 and
[00:17:06] 33 million euros. This is an extremely dangerous
[00:17:09] synthetic cathinone which is a
[00:17:11] substitute for cocaine and ecstasy on the street market
[00:17:15] of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region. Such synthetic stimulants
[00:17:18] are sold at a price of 20 to 30 euros
[00:17:22] per gram. In addition to drugs, the border police temporarily confiscated
[00:17:25] special full-face masks with advanced system filters
[00:17:29] and ribbed air supply tubes which
[00:17:32] are used exclusively during chemical synthesis and production of illegal
[00:17:36] substances during cooking. Baths as protection, as well as firearms,
[00:17:39] mobile phones, seals, and business documentation
[00:17:43] of legal entities.
[00:17:47] The fire that has been active for several days in the Blidinje Nature Park
[00:17:50] flared up again and affected a part of the forest. The spread
[00:17:54] of the fire is favored by strong wind and prolonged drought, and
[00:17:57] family houses and holiday homes are only 100 to
[00:18:01] 200 meters from the fire site. Due to
[00:18:03] the inaccessible terrain, extinguishing with ground forces is currently not
[00:18:07] possible, as announced by the operational center of the Civil Protection of the
[00:18:10] Herzegovina-Neretva Canton. All available firefighting forces from
[00:18:14] Jablanica and neighboring cities and municipalities are engaged in extinguishing
[00:18:18] the fire, which is still spreading. Air extinguishing
[00:18:21] is assisted by air tractors and helicopters of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and
[00:18:24] Herzegovina. The Government of the Republic of Croatia has approved the use
[00:18:27] of two Canadairs to provide humanitarian aid to Bosnia and
[00:18:31] Herzegovina.
[00:18:35] Two people were injured in a fire that broke out last night
[00:18:38] in a nursing home in the settlement of Mosoravac
[00:18:41] in the Lukavac area. The injured persons are in critical condition with
[00:18:45] burns to their faces and bodies and were admitted to the University
[00:18:48] Clinical Center Tuzla. The professional fire brigade
[00:18:52] of Lukavac stated that the fire was of minor intensity
[00:18:55] and occurred in one room. All relevant services are on site and
[00:18:59] are determining the circumstances of the
[00:19:01] fire.
[00:19:04] At the University Clinical Center Tuzla, two patients
[00:19:07] have been hospitalized: patient with initials HO has
[00:19:11] severe burns, associated with inhalation burns,
[00:19:15] the patient is intubated and on mechanical ventilation, the other
[00:19:18] patient with initials MO
[00:19:21] has burns to the face and body, also
[00:19:24] these are severe burns, both
[00:19:27] patients are in extremely critical health condition, the teams
[00:19:30] of the University Clinical Center Tuzla professionally and quickly
[00:19:33] responded to admission, triage, surgical intervention and
[00:19:37] other interventions required by the health condition of these
[00:19:40] patients.
[00:19:43] Bosnia and Herzegovina is facing the consequences of a prolonged lack
[00:19:47] of precipitation. The dry period leaves its mark on watercourses,
[00:19:50] groundwater, and springs, and forecasts for the coming days do not
[00:19:54] bring much reason for a change in such a picture. Because of all this, water
[00:19:58] reductions are increasingly frequent in Sarajevo, especially in hilly
[00:20:01] settlements.
[00:20:04] Damir Kadrić has not had water for six days and he is not the only one. In
[00:20:08] the upper parts of Širokača, water has not been flowing from the taps since last
[00:20:11] week. Residents of Bostarići Street say that they have faced
[00:20:15] reductions before, but this time
[00:20:18] the situation is particularly difficult. We manage by finding the nearest
[00:20:22] tap, filling canisters, then
[00:20:25] bringing it home and transferring it from one container to another.
[00:20:28] We have also developed this system
[00:20:31] of pouring water for each other or pouring it ourselves from a bottle
[00:20:35] to wash our hands. I feel sorry for the female part of the population
[00:20:39] most of all, who have to provide for their children, husbands, and
[00:20:42] themselves in the end for hygienic conditions and
[00:20:46] everything. Why don't they cut off water to the government in the presidency at all?
[00:20:50] Instead, they only terrorize us. The problem is actually outdated
[00:20:54] reservoirs, they tell us from the local community council. They have been warning
[00:20:57] about this for some time, but to no effect. The problem with
[00:21:01] that water is not those reductions, but the problem is that
[00:21:04] pump in the reservoir which should turn on when
[00:21:07] the level in the reservoir is reached, but it is actually turned on
[00:21:11] manually, and no one has ever come to turn it on. The problem
[00:21:15] is the justification
[00:21:17] of the management of the water and sewage system, i.e., they must not use
[00:21:20] force majeure or
[00:21:24] drought as an excuse for their inaction and their incompetence.
[00:21:27] They still haven't received a water tanker, nor have the residents of Novogradska Street
[00:21:31] Kralja Stjepana Tomaševića, where there has been no water for almost two
[00:21:35] months. Interestingly, Zabrdje has water, although the water supply there
[00:21:38] is regular, which was admitted by the
[00:21:41] waterworks. At the same time, on širokača, a few hundred meters
[00:21:45] below Bostarići street, water is gushing from the asphalt, to make
[00:21:48] the absurdity even greater. While cubic meters of water flow irrevocably
[00:21:52] through Sarajevo's streets, the main Sarajevo spring Bačevo
[00:21:55] has almost dried up. The cause is that we do not have
[00:21:59] multi-day moderate rainfall, these
[00:22:02] showers and short-term
[00:22:05] rainfall do not contribute to the replenishment of our
[00:22:09] groundwater. And rivers across Bosnia and Herzegovina are entering
[00:22:13] September with unusually low water levels. Some watercourses are recording
[00:22:16] almost record low values. As for rainfall,
[00:22:20] in the coming days, it will mostly be of weak to locally moderate
[00:22:23] intensity in the form of some heavier showers, from this point of view, in principle,
[00:22:27] as far as we can see, which is about 15 days, there is still no
[00:22:30] signal for any stronger intense rainfall.
[00:22:34] If the period without significant rain continues, the Sava River Basin
[00:22:37] Agency warns that water levels could
[00:22:43] smaller watercourses. How much the situation will change will depend
[00:22:47] primarily on rainfall. However, a single rain does
[00:22:50] not necessarily mean the end of the problems. Dry periods are not
[00:22:54] only this year, meaning we have dry periods for about 15
[00:22:58] years now, where we constantly have a deficit in the
[00:23:01] amount of precipitation we receive, whether it's snow,
[00:23:05] or rain, or some ice. And the rain we
[00:23:09] do get, it becomes mostly
[00:23:12] torrential, with a large amount falling in a short time, causing flash floods,
[00:23:15] quickly draining away, very little entering
[00:23:18] the soil. Therefore, experts warn, we must
[00:23:22] use water more rationally and preserve natural resources so
[00:23:26] that we do not lose even what we currently have. Feđa Kulina
[00:23:30] N1.
[00:23:34] At a time when citizens need concrete results, the Federation
[00:23:37] announces a turnaround in planning the future. The development
[00:23:41] strategy for 2034 begins with an ambitious, but much-needed
[00:23:44] goal. To transform strategic documents from mere
[00:23:47] wishes into strictly defined projects with stable
[00:23:51] financing. Can experts in the next six months
[00:23:54] lay the foundations for a different development?
[00:23:58] How many goals from the development strategy
[00:24:00] of the Federation of BiH until 2027
[00:24:03] have actually been achieved has not yet been
[00:24:06] precisely determined. The document envisaged
[00:24:09] accelerated economic development, improved position of youth,
[00:24:13] energy transition, environmental protection, and a more efficient public
[00:24:16] sector. Experts who participated in its preparation admit
[00:24:20] that they are not satisfied with the implementation. Unfortunately, what
[00:24:23] we envisioned in that strategy was not
[00:24:26] realized as we wanted and as much as possible,
[00:24:29] so we hope that with this strategy we will correct that. Therefore,
[00:24:33] one of the first tasks is to determine what has been achieved, what has not, and what
[00:24:37] the reasons are. Experiences from the previous period should be
[00:24:40] the basis for a different approach to the new development plan. This is a
[00:24:44] key horizontal,
[00:24:46] multi-sectoral document that defines.
[00:24:50] social consensus and development priorities in the next
[00:24:53] planning period, mm, the strategy itself
[00:24:57] mm is there to bring concrete
[00:25:01] changes, mm, betterment for the lives of citizens. We
[00:25:04] must more concretely define within strategic
[00:25:08] documents the conceptual projects that will be directly available for
[00:25:11] financing through the public investment program, and
[00:25:15] establish better connections with financial framework, that is,
[00:25:18] that is one of the lessons learned. Taught by what we had in previous
[00:25:21] strategies, where it was
[00:25:25] defined primarily as priorities
[00:25:28] as a wish list without defined
[00:25:31] clear deadlines, responsibilities, goals,
[00:25:35] funding, uh, I think that, uh, I
[00:25:39] said that very clearly, we don't need it, we don't need another new document that nobody
[00:25:42] even opened and now at the end we will take it and see what is in it, and
[00:25:46] what is not, what has not been done, so uh, I consider. I know
[00:25:50] it is very important that today there are people here who have competencies,
[00:25:53] knowledge, possibilities who will launch
[00:25:57] activities today so that we can come to a proposal through the formation of an expert group.
[00:26:01] strategies at the first conference representatives of the academic community,
[00:26:04] economy and civil society spoke about projects and priorities
[00:26:07] for the next planning period. Among them are investments in science,
[00:26:11] development of artificial intelligence, digitalization and green
[00:26:14] transition. But the experience of the previous strategy also raises
[00:26:17] the question of whether the new priorities will really be implemented. A data
[00:26:21] center is needed, research institutes are needed.
[00:26:25] The government should, for example,
[00:26:28] for the next year, give at least
[00:26:32] 1.8% of the gross domestic product for
[00:26:35] research, it will give a tenth of that,
[00:26:38] so much for listening, so where are we, we
[00:26:41] are now in the European family last in terms of
[00:26:45] per capita income, so we are somewhere at
[00:26:48] 45% of the European average, we need
[00:26:52] to make an effort in the field of production,
[00:26:55] that means to increase the production
[00:26:58] of ideas, to increase the knowledge base, to increase innovation, to introduce
[00:27:02] an information policy that we don't even have in order to improve the standard
[00:27:05] of living. Now the plan is to develop a better, clearer
[00:27:09] strategy so that what was outlined by 2034
[00:27:12] would be achieved. The goal is to include as many
[00:27:16] interest groups as possible in the next six months, to hear their requests and to concretize
[00:27:20] projects that should be financed through the public
[00:27:23] investment program. Mirna Ždralović,
[00:27:26] N1.
[00:27:29] Since the beginning of this year, 27 doctors from
[00:27:32] six cantons have left the country, most of them going to Slovenia,
[00:27:36] Austria, Germany and the Scandinavian countries, and the main reasons are
[00:27:39] better salaries and working conditions. According to data from the Medical Chamber
[00:27:43] of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, about 10 doctors leave this canton annually.
[00:27:46] However, officials from the health sector say
[00:27:50] that the situation is not
[00:27:52] alarming for now.
[00:27:55] While many healthcare institutions warn of a shortage
[00:27:58] of medical staff, the University Clinical Hospital Mostar, as the largest healthcare
[00:28:02] institution in Herzegovina, employs 3 workers, including
[00:28:06] about 500 doctors. The director of this institution says the problem is not
[00:28:10] their shortage. On the contrary, he claims that the hospital currently has
[00:28:13] a surplus of employees. I have a big problem because I have
[00:28:17] a surplus of doctors. Maybe you're looking at me a little strangely.
[00:28:20] Namely, we have a good circumstance that our faculty is in
[00:28:23] our backyard. And we really have enough doctors
[00:28:27] and the only real problem for me
[00:28:30] is how to not admit all the people
[00:28:34] who want to go to the hospital, well, as far as our hospital is concerned, for now
[00:28:38] we really don't have that problem, and when we talk about people leaving
[00:28:42] the hospital, for example, we had middle staff in the last few
[00:28:45] years, many of them left,
[00:28:48] over a hundred of them returned to
[00:28:51] work, but the situation is not the same in all healthcare institutions in
[00:28:54] the cantonal hospital, while Safet Muić says there are a solid number of doctors,
[00:28:58] but there is a shortage of specialists, and as one of the main problems they cite
[00:29:01] the verdict of the Supreme Court, according to which
[00:29:05] a doctor, after completing specialization, can leave the institution that enabled
[00:29:08] and financed his specialization and go abroad where another country, without
[00:29:11] any investment, gets an already trained expert. For now,
[00:29:15] we do not have alarming indicators when we talk about our
[00:29:19] canton, but it is definitely one of the potential problems,
[00:29:22] since, as I say, young people
[00:29:26] are looking for a better opportunity for themselves, we are aware that the current method
[00:29:29] of financing healthcare is not sufficient for them to have
[00:29:33] such conditions, primarily material and in some parts working, so that they can
[00:29:37] be completely satisfied and not need to look for another
[00:29:40] alternative. An additional problem is the large difference in doctors' incomes among
[00:29:44] cantons, according to data from the Federation of Professional Unions of Doctors
[00:29:48] of Medicine and Dentistry, currently doctors in
[00:29:51] Sarajevo Canton, Tuzla and Zenica-Doboj are among the best paid,
[00:29:55] while the incomes of their colleagues in other cantons are up to 30% lower. Such
[00:29:59] differences, they warn, do not only lead to departures abroad, but to
[00:30:02] migrations of doctors within the federation, to where conditions and
[00:30:06] incomes are more favorable. mm, the reasons are, on the one
[00:30:09] hand, uh, the conditions in which our
[00:30:12] doctors work, on the other hand, the financial possibilities
[00:30:16] of our healthcare system. The question of resources, the question
[00:30:20] - of finances, the question of healthcare staff,
[00:30:23] the question of the development of primary healthcare,
[00:30:27] which is our focus on primary healthcare.
[00:30:31] The question means we can... respond to the modern
[00:30:34] demographic trend and the needs of the population in
[00:30:38] such circumstances, so there are many questions that influence
[00:30:41] the final opinion, that is,
[00:30:45] the eventual departure of our doctors. Such a system
[00:30:48] is unsustainable in the long run, says the president of the government, claiming that reorganization
[00:30:51] is needed, as well as finding new sources of funding, without such
[00:30:55] changes, she says, it will be increasingly difficult to ensure the stable functioning
[00:30:58] of health conditions.
