[00:00:00] but my job is not to please everyone, my [00:00:04] job is to convey facts, to tell the truth, however [00:00:08] unpleasant it may sometimes be to hear, because journalism is not PR, [00:00:12] it is not politicking, it is not a reality show, [00:00:15] journalism is a public service, because [00:00:19] and I think the one of giving up on asking difficult, uncomfortable questions, seeking difficult answers [00:00:23] means giving up on democracy, in a time [00:00:27] of shaken trust in institutions and [00:00:30] authenticity, journalism must not [00:00:33] be silent. I am Hrvoje Krešić and watch me on N1 Television. [00:00:48] Dear viewers, warm greetings. I am Maja Štrbac, you are watching the review [00:00:52] of the day. Here's what [00:00:52] we highlight. [00:00:57] Will the session of the National Security Committee be held? N1 [00:01:00] learns that it will not be held this week after all. The chairman of the committee, Ranko [00:01:04] Ostojić, told us that SOA will not [00:01:07] be present either. [00:01:10] Prime Minister Andrej Plenković will tomorrow present the annual report on the work [00:01:14] of the government to the Croatian Parliament, after which a debate will follow [00:01:17] on the opposition's proposal for his [00:01:19] impeachment. [00:01:23] The foreign ministers of the European Union today adopted almost [00:01:26] 1600 new sanctions aimed at the Russian military [00:01:30] industrial [00:01:30] complex. [00:01:34] Despite Trump's announcement of a ceasefire between Ukraine and [00:01:37] Russia and Zelensky's request for a sixty-day ceasefire [00:01:41] due to elections, the Kremlin unyieldingly rejects the proposals. [00:02:00] Prime Minister Andrej Plenković will tomorrow present the annual report on the work of the government to the Croatian Parliament, [00:02:04] after which a debate will follow on the opposition's [00:02:07] proposal for his impeachment. The opposition is demanding his political [00:02:11] accountability for the case of illegal waste disposal in [00:02:14] Gospić. We will now go live to the HDZ presidency, where [00:02:18] our Katarina Plantak is located. [00:02:21] Katarina, we heard Andrej Plenković, how [00:02:25] do you read his messages, the messages we heard at today's [00:02:29] presidency? [00:02:32] That's right, the HDZ presidency just finished [00:02:36] and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković also stood before the cameras. [00:02:40] We naturally asked him about the impeachment that will be debated [00:02:43] in the Croatian Parliament tomorrow. He said that this is not the first [00:02:47] time that the opposition [00:02:50] tries to overthrow the government in such [00:02:53] ways to actually [00:02:57] due to suspicion of come to power, he also said [00:03:00] that as far as Gospić is concerned, the opposition is not interested in [00:03:03] Gospić, but their only exclusive interest is to overthrow [00:03:06] the government, he said that tomorrow he will be in parliament all day, [00:03:10] first he will present, as you yourself said, the annual report, then [00:03:14] after that he will respond to the opposition for [00:03:17] everything that is happening, he did not miss the opportunity [00:03:21] to call out the opposition for, as he [00:03:24] said before, spreading hysteria, that is, he [00:03:28] said that the opposition should [00:03:31] apologize to the citizens and residents of Lika for [00:03:35] spreading panic, that is, [00:03:37] to the OPGs for everything that we have [00:03:40] been hearing in recent months, but here we can [00:03:44] also listen to what Prime Minister Plenković said about tomorrow's [00:03:47] impeachment. [00:03:50] It will be interesting, we will be there all day, first in the morning the annual report [00:03:54] on the work of the government, the third in this mandate, where we will [00:03:57] try to summarize [00:04:00] everything we have achieved in the past year, [00:04:04] of course, to inform the members of parliament and [00:04:08] the Croatian public, and then [00:04:11] another initiative of no confidence, [00:04:15] today I asked my associates to see [00:04:17] the statistics, in our modest 10 years of mandate [00:04:21] there were a total of [00:04:24] 43 interpellations and votes of [00:04:28] no confidence, even I was surprised that there were so many, [00:04:31] uh, 26 rejected, nine where the debate was not held because the topic [00:04:35] was exhausted, one withdrawn, seven in procedure, [00:04:38] so the instruments that the opposition [00:04:41] uses, we are already used to following [00:04:45] and of course responding to them, it's all together [00:04:48] expected. The session of the Parliamentary Committee for [00:04:52] Internal Policy and National Security, which was supposed to [00:04:55] discuss the findings of the SOA on illegal waste disposal in [00:04:59] Gospić, will not be held this week after all, but today [00:05:03] a meeting was held with [00:05:05] campaign of the scientific council for expert support for remediation, so Katarina, are there any [00:05:08] concrete actions being taken regarding remediation? [00:05:15] Prime Minister Plenković said that as far as [00:05:19] the actions are concerned, everything is going according to plan and everything is going as he [00:05:22] said it would go this summer, he said [00:05:25] that the institutions are doing their job and that those who are responsible for [00:05:29] bringing waste to Gospić will be held accountable while [00:05:33] the remediation is going according to plan, he said that [00:05:36] bags of non-hazardous waste are being removed to [00:05:39] cement factories, once again he accused. [00:05:42] he accused the opposition of spreading falsehoods, [00:05:46] he said that neither the government nor the cement factories would ever [00:05:49] allow them to poison people, as the [00:05:53] opposition has been saying for the past few weeks, [00:05:56] as for the remediation of buried waste, he said that [00:06:00] options are still being considered [00:06:03] and that this week the fund and the Ministry [00:06:06] of Environmental Protection were supposed to meet with [00:06:10] civil initiatives regarding the remediation, that was at least [00:06:14] announced when the remediation plan was presented, Prime Minister [00:06:18] Plenković said that the ministry and the government are still open [00:06:22] for dialogue with civil associations and that [00:06:25] they will meet with them, however it is not yet clear when, [00:06:29] and as for the scattered waste that [00:06:32] should be remediated by a group of bidders, among [00:06:36] whom is Cezar Group, which is [00:06:40] now covered by this expanded USKOK [00:06:43] investigation, Prime Minister Plenković said that there are [00:06:46] always actions and methods on [00:06:50] how to solve that remediation, we asked him [00:06:53] if that means that there is a possibility that [00:06:57] Cezar will be removed from that group of [00:07:00] five bidders and that the remaining bidders who applied [00:07:03] for the public call will then [00:07:06] be the ones who will remediate the dangerous scattered waste. He [00:07:10] said that this is one of the possibilities. "And on the scientific [00:07:13] council that met today, [00:07:17] Branko Bačić also spoke, so let's listen to [00:07:20] the statements of Prime Minister Plenković and Branko [00:07:24] Bačić. [00:07:26] As for Gospić, generally allow me to make a few introductory [00:07:30] remarks, I think it's quite important now, so when [00:07:34] this summer [00:07:37] returned to Zagreb, I sent a few messages: [00:07:40] first, those who..." uh are [00:07:43] guilty or if it happens to them in a criminal [00:07:46] procedure for disposing [00:07:49] uh hazardous waste or for illegal [00:07:53] disposal of non-hazardous waste in Gospić will be held accountable and [00:07:56] we see that it is happening, ultimately this [00:07:59] expansion of the investigation to additional natural persons, to additional [00:08:03] legal persons is proof that the criminal [00:08:06] prosecution bodies when it comes to uh [00:08:10] committed criminal offenses in Gospić, they work [00:08:13] independently, they work independently and on [00:08:16] responsibility, i.e. guilt, Croatian courts will decide, so in [00:08:20] criminal law terms everything is happening exactly as [00:08:24] I announced. The second part concerning [00:08:27] the remediation, you can see for yourselves that it has started, this was today [00:08:31] confirmed and stated in dialogue with us by the members of our scientific [00:08:35] council, so non-hazardous waste in bags [00:08:38] is being gradually removed from [00:08:41] Gospić, without any danger to human [00:08:45] health, whether it is Koromačno or [00:08:48] Našice, in accordance with permits and numbers [00:08:52] and analyses, every bag is analyzed and everything that [00:08:55] is included in the cement production process is [00:08:59] completely the same as what the cement factories [00:09:02] Holcim and Nexe [00:09:05] have been doing until now, so the Croatian government nor the owners [00:09:09] of those cement factories, which are private companies, would not [00:09:13] do something that would endanger the health of people in [00:09:16] the vicinity of Koromačno or [00:09:18] Našice, because that would be, [00:09:22] first, bad, no one would ever do that, second, it would be [00:09:25] reputationally devastating for those companies to do something like that, [00:09:29] so that whole false story, false narrative [00:09:32] about poisoning people, that is a [00:09:36] shameless move by certain actors in the opposition, I said [00:09:40] that in Parliament on Thursday. You have to be [00:09:43] either evil or very malicious to [00:09:46] lead in the public space [00:09:49] a campaign, a policy, a narrative that [00:09:53] declares the whole of Lika poisoned, calls the government [00:09:56] traitors, and directly causes economic [00:09:58] damage to agricultural entities in the area [00:10:02] of Lika, instead of going out to a press conference and [00:10:06] apologizing to all OPGs in Lika-Senj County because they [00:10:09] are proclaiming their products, and the soil and [00:10:13] the air poisoned, they [00:10:15] continue their [00:10:18] falsehoods, this will be the topic tomorrow afternoon, which we will certainly [00:10:21] talk about, so... Part of the non-hazardous waste in [00:10:25] bags is going, covering of buried waste is [00:10:28] underway, the remediation plan has been presented, the minister is today at [00:10:32] the council, when she returns and when this debate passes, [00:10:35] dialogue with representatives of [00:10:38] civil associations will continue, and as far as [00:10:42] that is concerned, everything is going according to plan, as for [00:10:46] scattered hazardous waste, the [00:10:49] evaluation by the Environmental Protection Fund is still [00:10:53] ongoing, when they complete that process, decisions will be made, [00:10:57] a legal solution will always be found to complete [00:11:00] the process, so the last message, this was therefore [00:11:04] the criminal part, the remediation part and the health part, we also [00:11:07] discussed that today with the representatives [00:11:10] of the scientific council, but also with the Minister of Health, so at this [00:11:14] moment, not underestimating [00:11:17] the potential danger of pollution, there [00:11:20] have been no health threats to anyone [00:11:23] on the street, neither in terms of human health, nor in [00:11:27] terms of air pollution, nor has what is happening in [00:11:31] the underground of that landfill led to any [00:11:34] serious soil pollution, [00:11:38] that is what we confirmed today at the scientific council, so on all [00:11:42] three points, exactly what we said [00:11:46] this summer is happening, and it is happening in a way that the problem is being [00:11:49] solved, not to be permanently with us so [00:11:53] that some kind of... [00:11:55] "opposition-perceptional optics [00:11:59] of great poisoning, which is of course untrue, well, but citizens are still [00:12:02] interested if there is a possibility that the company that is now under [00:12:06] USKOK investigation for transporting [00:12:09] waste there, that waste will eventually be [00:12:11] remediated. [00:12:13] That company has to explain it and the criminal [00:12:17] prosecution bodies have to be informed, and is there [00:12:20] any alternative, because it was the only company that actually applied for that public call, so [00:12:24] from your..." question it is clear that you do not have complete information, [00:12:27] so it is a consortium of bidders consisting of five legal [00:12:30] entities, five, not one, therefore [00:12:34] allow the evaluation process by the fund [00:12:38] to finish, it is very important to inform the public precisely [00:12:41] and truthfully, which [00:12:43] unfortunately was not the case in the past two months. [00:12:47] We had and [00:12:50] constantly have meetings with the [00:12:53] scientific council where we went through the remediation [00:12:56] plan again through the preparation [00:12:59] of the public procurement documentation [00:13:03] for the removal of buried waste where we once again went through all [00:13:07] aspects of the future [00:13:09] future documentation, we also commented on [00:13:13] current activities in Gospić [00:13:16] regarding the removal of non-hazardous waste [00:13:20] to the location of two cement factories [00:13:23] and the current situation. [00:13:26] with the public procurement procedure for 4,500 [00:13:29] tons of 4,500 [00:13:31] tons of hazardous waste for which we have not yet [00:13:35] made a decision and what will happen with that, so today [00:13:39] we went through it again, the fund still has certain [00:13:42] obligations regarding the evaluation [00:13:46] of all received bids or eventually only one, but we [00:13:50] will make a decision on that very soon, does that mean that the government [00:13:53] could withdraw from the contract [00:13:55] with Cezar? Well, first of all, it's not [00:13:59] Cezar who is the only bidder, it's a consortium of bidders, [00:14:03] so it's not just Cezar, there are four other legal entities that [00:14:06] together submitted [00:14:09] the bid, so we will decide very, very soon, can Cezar then [00:14:13] leave and the other four remain? Well, you will have to wait [00:14:17] a little longer for us to complete that procedure and then you [00:14:20] will be timely [00:14:22] informed. [00:14:28] So we heard the statements of the Prime Minister, but also of Minister [00:14:31] Bačić, as for the impeachment, this is not the first [00:14:34] time that the Opposition tries to impeach Andrej [00:14:38] Plenković and his government, this is already the fourth attempt [00:14:41] at impeachment, this impeachment attempt was commented [00:14:45] on arrival by Gordan Jandroković, he said that the government [00:14:48] has already rejected that proposal, he expects that the ruling majority [00:14:52] with 70 to 29 votes, which they currently [00:14:55] have, will also reject it, so there is no [00:14:59] reason for concern in the ruling majority, because [00:15:02] the opposition does not have enough votes for impeachment, and as for [00:15:05] the remediation in Gospić, we heard [00:15:09] what the minister and Prime Minister Plenković said, [00:15:12] it remains to be seen what the final decision will be for [00:15:16] scattered waste, but of course the contractor [00:15:19] for the buried part of the [00:15:22] waste is still awaited, and the meeting [00:15:25] with civil initiatives which, according to the Prime Minister, should [00:15:29] happen soon, tomorrow is [00:15:32] a turbulent, but very interesting [00:15:36] day in parliament, there are many events. From the annual [00:15:40] report on the work of the government to the attempt to impeach [00:15:43] that government, we will certainly [00:15:46] follow everything. [00:15:48] Katarina, thank you, this was our Katarina Plantak, live in front of [00:15:52] the HDZ presidency. As we heard, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, tomorrow [00:15:55] faces an impeachment attempt, as our [00:15:58] Katarina said, this is already the fourth since he has been at [00:16:02] the head of the government, the previous three attempts, in 2017, [00:16:05] 2023 and 2024, did not [00:16:09] succeed, this time the initiative is led by the SDP with [00:16:12] the support of 54 opposition members of parliament, [00:16:16] and the reason is the affair with illegal disposal of hazardous waste in [00:16:19] Gospić. Let's go through all [00:16:22] attempts to impeach Prime Minister Plenković, namely, the Croatian opposition [00:16:26] has repeatedly in the Croatian Parliament initiated [00:16:29] the impeachment process of Andrej Plenković and his [00:16:33] government, sometimes only him, but none of the attempts succeeded [00:16:36] due to a lack of necessary votes, [00:16:40] so now let's go with the first attempt, that was November 2017, [00:16:43] the main reason was the Agrokor affair. The SDP [00:16:47] collected signatures, submitted a motion of no confidence [00:16:50] in the government, primarily due to events related to the Agrokor concern, [00:16:54] who still remembers that, and the adoption of the so-called Lex [00:16:57] Agrokor. The opposition accused the then government [00:17:01] and then Deputy Prime Minister Martina Dalić of lack of transparency, [00:17:04] favoring foreign vulture funds, [00:17:07] and excessive influence of consultants in drafting the law and in the process [00:17:11] of extraordinary administration. 78 votes were [00:17:15] against the impeachment, 59 [00:17:18] votes for the impeachment. Let's go to the second [00:17:21] attempt, March 2023. [00:17:24] This attempt is particularly interesting, why? The initiative for [00:17:28] the impeachment of Prime Minister Andrej Plenković at the beginning of [00:17:30] 2023, was officially launched [00:17:34] and is now in the government. However, [00:17:38] the proposal was formally supported and signed by the entire [00:17:40] parliamentary opposition, parties of the left [00:17:43] and right spectrum, due to the Janaf affair and [00:17:47] the disputed reconstruction, some of [00:17:50] these affairs were never resolved, but [00:17:54] what now, that was all before the elections, 77 votes against [00:17:58] impeachment, 56 votes for [00:18:01] impeachment, third attempt December 2024. [00:18:04] In December 2024, [00:18:08] the initiative to impeach Prime Minister Andrej Plenković was officially [00:18:11] launched by the SDP, and other opposition [00:18:15] parties also joined in its realization and signing. [00:18:18] The main and direct reason for this attempt to remove him [00:18:22] was the major political upheaval caused, who else remembers [00:18:25] that, by the arrest of the then Minister of Health Vili [00:18:29] Beroš in mid- November 2024 [00:18:34] corruption in the procurement of medical devices, [00:18:37] the so-called microscope affair, and how that went in [00:18:40] parliament, 76 votes against [00:18:44] impeachment, 64 votes for [00:18:47] impeachment, we come to tomorrow [00:18:51] October 2026. The newest current [00:18:55] attempt to impeach Prime Minister Plenković was launched [00:18:58] at the end of September this year, the main reason for this initiative is the ecological [00:19:02] affair with illegal disposal and import of hazardous [00:19:06] and toxic waste in Gospić. For impeachment [00:19:10] to succeed, the opposition in the Croatian Parliament must gather a minimum [00:19:13] of 76 votes out of a total of 151 [00:19:16] representatives. Given the strong discipline within [00:19:19] the ruling coalition, political analysts and the representatives [00:19:23] themselves predict that this attempt will probably [00:19:26] end like the previous ones, with rejection in [00:19:29] Parliament. [00:19:42] Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire. Volodymyr [00:19:46] Zelensky said that Ukraine will respect it, but Russian attacks on [00:19:49] Ukrainian energy infrastructure have not [00:19:52] stopped. Messages from Moscow say that they do not want a ceasefire but [00:19:56] a permanent peace, and the messages of European leaders are becoming increasingly [00:19:59] sharp. Without concrete evidence that Vladimir Putin is ready to change [00:20:03] policy, additional pressure on Russia will follow, [00:20:05] tightening sanctions. Is Trump's announcement just another [00:20:09] unfulfilled promise or the beginning of serious negotiations? [00:20:13] Ivan Hrstić brings the details. [00:20:16] Trump announces an energy ceasefire, Zelensky immediately [00:20:20] confirms that he will respect it if Putin respects it. But Putin [00:20:24] still shows no signs that any ceasefire has come into [00:20:27] effect. The question is whether Putin read the announcement on Trump's social [00:20:31] network. [00:20:37] power plant in [00:20:41] causing further damage [00:20:44] to our energy system. it was [00:20:47] clear that Putin does [00:22:21] and therefore has always stated things very clearly and moreover President Trump himself presented [00:22:25] it as such by saying "I obtained a truce from both sides" the facts [00:22:28] are there that say that the Russians continued to bomb [00:22:32] energy infrastructure in the last hours, I will have the opportunity to speak with him later, [00:22:36] serious, the agreement between the United States [00:22:38] and Russia on the export of diesel, [00:22:42] we take note of, for Germany and for Europe such a decision does [00:22:46] not come. [00:22:50] Question: Russia will only seriously negotiate under [00:22:53] pressure, and therefore we adhere to our sanctions against Russia, [00:22:56] because after Moscow's reckless attacks against [00:23:00] the civilian energy supply of Ukraine [00:23:03] we must even tighten them, we cannot [00:23:06] have more illusions about Russia's intentions, [00:23:10] certainly, President Zelensky will confirm this [00:23:14] in a moment, Russia is not [00:23:17] interested in a ceasefire or [00:23:20] de-escalation, or peace, it is interested [00:23:24] solely in domination. Russian refineries did not [00:23:27] burn today, Russia, however, attacked a number of Ukrainian energy [00:23:30] facilities. There is no doubt, if there is no strong evidence of [00:23:34] Putin's turnaround, European leaders will only agree [00:23:38] to strengthen sanctions against Russia. Ivan Hrstić, [00:23:40] N1. [00:23:44] And the foreign ministers of the European Union today adopted almost [00:23:47] 1600 new sanctions aimed at Russia's military [00:23:50] industrial complex, announced on the platform X High [00:23:53] Representative of the EU, Kaja Kallas. This is the largest [00:23:57] expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started the war, said [00:24:00] Kallas, adding that Europe is once again showing unity. [00:24:04] According to her, more than half of this package is related [00:24:08] to the ballistic missile production chain. Earlier, she [00:24:11] welcomed the announcement of an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, [00:24:15] but emphasized that she would prefer a ceasefire that also includes [00:24:19] an end to human. [00:24:50] defend that country and uh and that is what is all at [00:24:53] stake, so so this kind of deal of course [00:24:56] we uh uh hope that this cease fire will [00:25:00] hold, but we haven't seen ituh holding so far. it would [00:25:03] work so much better if our partners from the [00:25:07] UK and from us would be aligned with [00:25:10] us, uk is aligned with us, [00:25:13] but if us would be aligned, if they [00:25:17] would enact the uh graham bill. [00:25:28] Australian terrorism expert Levi West, a guest on N1, [00:25:32] pointed out that threats are changing and that in addition to jihadist [00:25:35] and right-wing, but also left-wing terrorism, increasing [00:25:38] attention should be paid to the role of states that support terrorist [00:25:42] activities. West believes that security challenges today [00:25:45] are more complex than five years ago, he is particularly concerned about the possibility that these... [00:25:50] terrorist groups use new technologies and [00:25:53] social tensions to threaten [00:25:55] democracy. [00:26:02] is very serious and where, but I think [00:26:05] the important thing about terrorism in Europe is it has to be put [00:26:09] into the context of the fact that there are much, much bigger threats [00:26:13] to security in Europe than terrorism, like what, the [00:26:17] war in Ukraine, for starters, and [00:26:22] the the really challenging things for counter terrorism in Europe and [00:26:25] across the the world is that for 20 years since 25 [00:26:29] years since 911, terrorism was the almost the [00:26:32] singular security threat that the world thought about, whether it was in Afghanistan or [00:26:36] Iraq or Syria or whatever it was, that was the [00:26:39] overwhelming and dominant security threat. we live in a [00:26:42] much, much more complex and diverse security environment [00:26:46] that includes hybrid threats, conventional warfare, a whole range of [00:26:49] asymmetric capabilities that various actors have at their disposal. wars are [00:26:53] different too right? yeah, talking about you, [00:26:57] yeah, like i was here 12 months ago and when i flew into [00:27:01] Denmark, the airport only just reopened because a [00:27:04] bunch of drones had been flown around the airport, right? so there's a whole range [00:27:08] of new normal, yeah, yeah, absolutely, right? the security environment [00:27:12] has has shifted really quite significantly over the last sort of five years, [00:27:16] um, most western governments are aware of that, but it's [00:27:19] happened a time where most western governments are not exactly [00:27:23] flushed with cash, um, and so the challenge of pivoting [00:27:27] to new complex problem set when you don't [00:27:31] have huge amounts of reason. [00:28:02] all of our resources because we're trying to spread all of those resources across a whole [00:28:06] range of challenges and that lot of those challenges aren't kinetic, [00:28:10] they can be economic warfare, it can be information warfare, it can [00:28:13] be one of the most effective ones is the capacity to get [00:28:17] inside a country's information environment and start to have the population [00:28:21] fight amongst themselves and if youTIME ID="1702.98/872"> do that really [00:28:23] effectively then you don't need to go [00:28:27] incredibly [00:28:31] yeah it is. [00:28:45] As of tomorrow, new fuel prices are in effect. The price of gasoline remains [00:28:48] unchanged, diesel is slightly cheaper, while gas prices [00:28:51] are rising. A liter of gasoline will still cost one euro and [00:28:55] 74 cents, while diesel will be cheaper by one [00:28:58] cent, one euro and 83 cents per liter. The price of blue diesel [00:29:02] is 1.38 per liter, and liquefied [00:29:05] petroleum gas is becoming more expensive. Gas for tanks will thus cost [00:29:08] 1.67 cents per kilogram, which is 12 cents [00:29:12] more, while the price of bottled gas will rise to [00:29:15] 2.25 cents per kilogram. New prices come [00:29:18] into effect at midnight and will be valid for the next seven [00:29:21] days. [00:29:24] And the regulation on so-called anchor prices should be sent for public [00:29:28] consultation today. From the obligation to display reference prices, [00:29:31] certain activities may be exempted, including [00:29:35] intellectual services, legal services, certain public [00:29:38] services. The final list of exemptions has not yet been determined. [00:29:42] The goal of the measure is to enable consumers to more easily compare current [00:29:45] and previous prices of products and services. On Saturday, the association Glas [00:29:49] poduzetnika and the association spasimo male obiteljske iznajmljivače [00:29:53] held a protest where they criticized parafiscal [00:29:56] levies, mandatory membership fees, inspection fines, [00:29:59] and frequent rule changes. The obligation to display prices comes [00:30:03] into effect on November 17th, and the president of [00:30:06] UGP, Bruno Samardžić, told N1 that on Saturday [00:30:10] 3,000 people showed strong resistance to such [00:30:13] measures. [00:30:16] We hope that we will succeed in explaining [00:30:19] and proving to the end that it is really unnecessary and that [00:30:22] it is only an additional cost and that the effect is counter [00:30:26] productive in relation to what they want to achieve. [00:30:29] We will probably do our own analysis in [00:30:33] the future, because they themselves did not give us the analysis that we [00:30:37] expected. Uh, it needs to be said that the European Union [00:30:41] requires our government to conduct a so-called small business [00:30:44] test, meaning to test all their laws [00:30:47] on small [00:30:49] and medium-sized entrepreneurs, but they did not do that. Uh, they said [00:30:53] there themselves, uh, we will simply constantly repeat [00:30:57] that we want things to be
