[00:00:00] the Diklo waste dump has been officially closed since yesterday. At the same time, Diklo is also the main political topic in Zadar, due to suspicions that waste from Varaždin arrived at the Zadar landfill. Most is filing a criminal complaint against the relevant minister, representatives of the fund and cities, and the city.
[00:00:16] and popular Croatian singers, passed away
[00:00:19] on Saturday at the age of 86. His musical career
[00:00:22] spanning almost six decades was marked by numerous
[00:00:26] hits, and throughout his life he sold over 20 million
[00:00:30] records. Today, fans in his hometown
[00:00:33] of Šibenik are saying goodbye to the legendary
[00:00:37] singer, where they will gather at 5 p.m. and
[00:00:41] pay tribute with songs. Split will bid
[00:00:44] farewell to musical legend Mišo Kovač
[00:00:48] tomorrow at Poljud Stadium, starting at 4 p.m. with his
[00:00:51] most famous songs. The organization is
[00:00:54] signed by Hajduk Torcida and the Croatian Music Union,
[00:00:58] and admission will be free
[00:01:00] with mandatory free tickets. A commemoration is expected
[00:01:03] on Wednesday at the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall, followed
[00:01:07] by a funeral at Mirogoj. The dates
[00:01:09] for the Zagreb farewell
[00:01:13] are still awaiting official confirmation.
[00:01:16] Everyone knows that our Mišo
[00:01:20] Kovač has passed away.
[00:01:22] It's difficult for everyone,
[00:01:25] especially his family. Split has decided
[00:01:27] to organize a farewell
[00:01:30] worthy of our dear Mišo, which will be here
[00:01:33] at Poljud, on Tuesday at 4 p.m.,
[00:01:37] starting at 4 p.m.
[00:01:40] Uh,
[00:01:42] we will sing, Mišo
[00:01:44] Kovač's songs
[00:01:48] so that we can send off our Mišo
[00:01:52] properly. The organizers
[00:01:55] of the farewell are Hajduk
[00:01:57] Club, Split and the Croatian Music
[00:02:01] Union. We will show
[00:02:04] the soul of our Dalmatian city
[00:02:08] that we will remember him forever.
[00:02:10] Since all of this happened in Split, Split will
[00:02:14] honor him in that way, and his
[00:02:16] fans, uh,
[00:02:20] his music and Hajduk as
[00:02:23] a club that he
[00:02:26] adored.
[00:02:31] On this topic, in the meantime,
[00:02:34] my colleague, sports journalist from Index, Mr.
[00:02:37] Zvonko Alać, joined me in the studio. Zvonko, good morning,
[00:02:40] welcome to N1. Thank you for the invitation,
[00:02:44] although the occasion is quite tragic.
[00:02:47] Yes, well, I can express my condolences
[00:02:50] to you. I based this morning's
[00:02:54] conversation on this text you published
[00:02:57] on index.hr, which is actually very
[00:03:00] personal. In those pictures,
[00:03:03] you actually tell your story with Mišo through
[00:03:07] anecdotes, although it seems to me that
[00:03:11] this text has another perhaps higher value
[00:03:14] - where every reader might be able
[00:03:17] to identify with something. Can we start
[00:03:21] from that? Not everyone has read the text,
[00:03:24] so maybe you can briefly
[00:03:26] such personalities, describe what it's about and why you decided
[00:03:30] to say goodbye to Mišo Kovač in that way. "Mišo Kovač
[00:03:34] is one of my favorite singers. I love music
[00:03:38] very much, but Mišo Kovač is, as we all know,
[00:03:41] much more than music. He is a giant
[00:03:44] of a man, a great Croatian, not only in music,
[00:03:48] but in general. From birth, he followed
[00:03:51] me, as I was born and grew up in Dalmatia.
[00:03:55] Mišo is a comrade to every Dalmatian
[00:03:57] from birth to death,
[00:04:00] so it was no different with me. I especially consider
[00:04:03] Mišo Kovač to be the true
[00:04:07] singer of Dalmatians in Zagreb, which
[00:04:10] he himself was, because no one can so perfectly convey
[00:04:14] that nostalgia and longing for the homeland
[00:04:18] that is both so close and so far away.
[00:04:22] We all eternally swear that we will
[00:04:26] return, but in the end, we somehow remain
[00:04:30] in Zagreb for life. Mišo, towards the
[00:04:33] end of his life, remained true to his
[00:04:37] song and returned, but it is quite significant
[00:04:40] and greats from that Mišo chose Zagreb as his final resting
[00:04:44] place. This means that the circle closed
[00:04:48] from Šibenik, Split, and then Zagreb.
[00:04:52] These are somehow the cities that marked
[00:04:55] Mišo, his life, these are his, I think,
[00:04:59] greatest loves, Dalmatia and Zagreb. He somehow
[00:05:02] united all of that. Mišo, that text
[00:05:06] about Mišo is viral, it has a lot of
[00:05:10] reads, and I am very happy about that.
[00:05:14] I wrote it completely subjectively, I
[00:05:18] wrote it from the heart and
[00:05:21] from the heart. It is titled
[00:05:24] My Life with Mišo or A Little Bit of
[00:05:28] Life with You. I think both
[00:05:31] titles suggest what it is actually
[00:05:35] about and what my idea was.
[00:05:39] It just came out of me,
[00:05:42] I wrote it, I say, without
[00:05:46] thinking, but guided by my heart
[00:05:50] and emotions, because that is the way
[00:05:52] one should think and act about
[00:05:56] music and emotions, and that is the way
[00:05:59] I perceive Mišo Kovač. He somehow marked
[00:06:03] my life through all its phases,
[00:06:07] childhood, teenage years, adolescence,
[00:06:09] coming to Zagreb. I had the honor and great
[00:06:13] pleasure to cooperate with Mišo,
[00:06:15] uh, we were even something
[00:06:18] more than journalists and musical
[00:06:22] giants. We had some
[00:06:25] personal relationship, we used to hear
[00:06:29] from each other, see each other,
[00:06:33] and I am extremely honored and happy
[00:06:36] that I could call such a
[00:06:39] great man a person I'm good with, who is good
[00:06:43] with me. Now, was he,
[00:06:46] as you said, not only a Croatian great in terms
[00:06:50] of music, but also generally, but you had
[00:06:53] the opportunity to know him personally,
[00:06:56] so what will you remember him for in that
[00:07:00] private part that is unknown
[00:07:03] to most viewers? Mišo was a person
[00:07:06] larger than life, but in direct contact,
[00:07:09] he had a very strong apparent arrogance
[00:07:13] and haughtiness, but it wasn't
[00:07:17] like that at all. It might have
[00:07:21] seemed that way at first, but it
[00:07:24] simply came from his enormous, massive
[00:07:27] life experience, from everything he went
[00:07:31] through in life, from the lowest
[00:07:34] depths to the highest peaks. He traveled
[00:07:37] the whole world and sang about
[00:07:41] it several times. Everyone stepped
[00:07:45] aside for him, from statesmen
[00:07:48] and leaders to ordinary people.
[00:07:51] I was most fascinated by his incredible
[00:07:54] life stories, anecdotes,
[00:07:58] mmm, how he perceived various
[00:08:02] relationships among people, how
[00:08:05] he witnessed everything, and
[00:08:09] his impression and vision of all
[00:08:13] that. I was fascinated by how, when
[00:08:16] he sang about emigration during
[00:08:19] Yugoslavia, he performed in many clubs
[00:08:23] of the extreme Croatian right,
[00:08:26] pro-Ustaša oriented types, and
[00:08:29] he then ultimately demanded
[00:08:33] that in all places where he performed,
[00:08:36] Ustaša insignia be removed from
[00:08:40] the coats of arms, which, unfortunately,
[00:08:43] is normal in those overseas
[00:08:47] gatherings of Croats. Then he told me how
[00:08:50] in the 70s, 60s,
[00:08:53] he had a Citroën Maserati, with the
[00:08:56] remark that only he, the Pope,
[00:09:00] François Mitterrand and Brigitte Bardot
[00:09:03] had such a car. Or then, for
[00:09:07] example, his concert at
[00:09:10] Bundek, when he would interrupt
[00:09:13] the concert in the middle,
[00:09:17] at the peak of the atmosphere, he would
[00:09:20] simply spread his arms, tell
[00:09:23] the band to stop playing, and then he would make
[00:09:26] an announcement, like the one
[00:09:29] at Bundek in 2010: "I found out
[00:09:32] that Istria
[00:09:34] wants to secede
[00:09:37] from Croatia." Of course, that's
[00:09:40] not true, but we all stopped
[00:09:44] and listened to what Mišo
[00:09:46] would say next. Then he said,
[00:09:50] "I immediately called Ivan Jakovčić
[00:09:54] and told him, if he continues
[00:09:58] to insist that Istria wants
[00:10:01] to secede from Croatia, I will send
[00:10:04] him 200 of my Dalmatians, and
[00:10:08] they are crazier than Hezbollah."
[00:10:12] So, Mišo told such stories
[00:10:15] at concerts, entertaining
[00:10:17] and making us laugh, but also
[00:10:21] teaching us a lot.
[00:10:25] You just mentioned that his final
[00:10:29] resting place will be at Mirogoj.
[00:10:31] There is also his family sorrow there.
[00:10:35] In a way, he will truly find
[00:10:38] that final peace.
[00:10:41] Yes, we know that most people
[00:10:45] who, unfortunately, had the misfortune,
[00:10:49] actually the greatest tragedy a person
[00:10:52] can imagine, to bury their child,
[00:10:55] want to be united with them in death.
[00:10:59] From that perspective, Mišo's idea,
[00:11:02] which will be realized, is quite logical
[00:11:06] and reasonable. Uh, I consider
[00:11:09] it his final reunion with
[00:11:13] his unfortunately prematurely deceased
[00:11:16] son, but also a way to close
[00:11:20] that circle that began in Šibenik
[00:11:23] and continued throughout
[00:11:25] the world, but with
[00:11:28] a concentration
[00:11:30] on Dalmatia, and then Zagreb,
[00:11:34] the city that Mišo adored
[00:11:37] and in which he actually spent
[00:11:40] the greatest part of his life.
[00:11:43] Now I have a question.
[00:11:47] Before our conversation, I read that there
[00:11:50] will be these farewells
[00:11:53] in the cities of Dalmatia.
[00:11:56] I'm actually interested in your
[00:12:00] opinion: where is the line between
[00:12:03] paying respect and,
[00:12:07] uhm, and true, how should I put
[00:12:11] it, reverence for someone
[00:12:14] we have lost, someone who
[00:12:17] undoubtedly left us something
[00:12:20] that goes down in history in terms
[00:12:24] of his musical contribution, and where does that
[00:12:27] line get crossed into some kind
[00:12:31] of, you may not agree
[00:12:34] with me, but I would mention
[00:12:37] these annual farewells to Oliver?
[00:12:41] I will absolutely agree with you
[00:12:44] and I think the line has
[00:12:47] been greatly crossed in terms of good
[00:12:51] taste, reverence, and respect, that it now serves
[00:12:55] primarily for promotion.
[00:12:59] Self-promotion of people
[00:13:02] who push these ferries to Vela Luka,
[00:13:06] gatherings there, singing, because
[00:13:10] it primarily serves as a promenade
[00:13:13] of these vanities and egos from
[00:13:17] the entertainment industry, which
[00:13:20] encompasses sports to music,
[00:13:23] and I think Oliver is the
[00:13:27] least important thing there,
[00:13:31] and the most important thing
[00:13:34] for them is their self-production and
[00:13:38] posting on social media. A great
[00:13:42] man and great women should be
[00:13:45] given due and important
[00:13:48] honor, but not let it
[00:13:52] turn into bad taste and self-promotion
[00:13:55] as has been the case with Oliver
[00:13:58] for years, unfortunately. I don't know, for
[00:14:02] example, that cult, it reminds me
[00:14:05] of the time of beloved leaders,
[00:14:08] another Tito, Korean dynasties,
[00:14:12] or Stalin. For example,
[00:14:23] death, only plays Oliver's songs
[00:14:27] all day from 0 to 24.
[00:14:30] That is morbid to me and contributes
[00:14:34] to the birth of a personality cult
[00:14:38] that I had hoped we had left
[00:14:40] in some past times.
[00:14:43] So, reverence and respect
[00:14:47] for Mišo, yes, but not to grow
[00:14:50] into what is done for Oliver,
[00:14:53] absolutely not. And given
[00:14:57] Mišo's connection with Hajduk,
[00:15:00] given perhaps
[00:15:04] a different kind of significance
[00:15:07] that Mišo Kovač has for Dalmatians
[00:15:11] than perhaps Oliver, perhaps precisely
[00:15:15] because of this moment of these
[00:15:18] Dalmatians in emigration,
[00:15:21] who don't live at home,
[00:15:25] do you think there's a possibility
[00:15:28] that in the case of commemorating
[00:15:30] Mišo Kovač's passing, some
[00:15:34] will have similar ideas?
[00:15:37] Well, I sincerely
[00:15:41] hope they won't have
[00:15:44] such ideas, because if they were to
[00:15:48] do something like that, I think
[00:15:51] Mišo would rise from his
[00:15:55] grave and scold them severely.
[00:15:58] Tell me about the moment
[00:16:01] when people
[00:16:13] just raise their
[00:16:14] hands, as if Mišo
[00:16:17] is asking the audience to sing, who
[00:16:21] will be able to repeat that?
[00:16:25] Well, I didn't even like that
[00:16:28] so much about Mišo. This
[00:16:31] spreading of hands,
[00:16:34] I don't like it. I like it when
[00:16:37] at a concert the singer or
[00:16:41] singers sing, for whom we
[00:16:44] came. I always
[00:16:45] came to Mišo's
[00:16:49] concerts and gigs because of him,
[00:16:52] not so that he would spread
[00:16:56] his hands. In fact, it
[00:17:00] annoyed me a little. I preferred, come on Mišo,
[00:17:03] you sing,
[00:17:20] let's hear you, sing Mišo,
[00:17:23] let's hear you. Atypical,
[00:17:26] okay, atypical. Now, as
[00:17:30] for his legacy,
[00:17:34] it's not just Dalmatia,
[00:17:37] it's wider. People in the
[00:17:40] region listen to Mišo Kovač.
[00:17:43] At the same time, these
[00:17:47] veterans of the music
[00:17:50] scene, both in Croatia
[00:17:54] and regionally,
[00:17:56] because most of them started
[00:18:00] in the former Yugoslavia,
[00:18:04] are leaving. That one
[00:18:06] generation is actually
[00:18:09] slowly fading away
[00:18:12] and leaving. Will similar
[00:18:15] types reappear, and what did
[00:18:19] musicians like Mišo Kovač
[00:18:23] leave for the Croatian
[00:18:25] music scene?
[00:18:28] Well, I don't see anyone
[00:18:31] close who will fill the void
[00:18:35] that has already been created by Mišo's
[00:18:38] departure. There is no person
[00:18:42] with such charisma, such a life
[00:18:46] path, uh, such
[00:18:49] an ability to conduct
[00:18:52] and enchant the masses
[00:18:56] as Mišo did.
[00:21:02] Mmm. Perhaps I should
[00:21:05] just ask you one last question:
[00:21:09] what remains his greatest
[00:21:12] legacy? Mišo Kovač's
[00:21:15] greatest legacy remains the man
[00:21:19] who was a symbol, uh, a symbol
[00:21:22] of Dalmatia, but also a symbol
[00:21:25] of Croatia. The man,
[00:21:29] you mentioned correctly,
[00:21:33] of course Mišo was
[00:21:36] a symbol of Torcida and Hajduk.
[00:21:40] Let's not forget that
[00:21:42] Mišo, at all his concerts, always
[00:21:46] insisted on the unity
[00:21:50] of the Croatian north and south,
[00:21:53] and especially importantly,
[00:21:56] on ending the manufactured
[00:22:00] hatred between the
[00:22:03] north and south.
[00:22:06] He always emphasized that
[00:22:09] his son Edi was a
[00:22:13] member of the Bad Blue Boys
[00:22:16] and a Dinamo fan, and that his
[00:22:20] daughter Ivana was a Hajduk
[00:22:23] fan, a member of Torcida.
[00:22:27] And Mišo was somehow
[00:22:30] on that path. He
[00:22:33] was massively tattooed
[00:22:36] by Hajduk fans on their
[00:22:40] shoulders and arms.
[00:22:44] At the same time, Mišo
[00:22:47] was a man who adored
[00:22:50] and was a great Hajduk fan,
[00:22:54] but at the same time he loved
[00:22:58] Zagreb, he valued Dinamo and
[00:23:02] respected the intertwining
[00:23:05] of these great figures. He
[00:23:09] did not see them as having
[00:23:13] to cancel each other
[00:23:15] out or, God forbid,
[00:23:19] hate each other. So,
[00:23:22] a kind of bridge between these
[00:23:25] perhaps artificially manufactured
[00:23:29] differences and intolerance,
[00:23:33] Mišo was there in that way.
[00:23:37] Zvonko, thank you very much
[00:23:40] for this conversation and for sharing
[00:23:43] these private reflections
[00:23:47] and knowledge you had about
[00:23:51] Mišo Kovač. And once again,
[00:23:55] this is my colleague, sports
[00:23:58] journalist from Index, Zvonko Alać.
[00:24:02] Thank you for the invitation.
[00:24:06] Stay with us, in the continuation
[00:24:10] we bring you.
[00:24:12] Will the lithium processing plant
[00:24:16] in Gospić lose its building
[00:24:20] permit? While waiting
[00:24:23] for the decision of the authorities,
[00:24:27] the investor, who has invested
[00:24:30] more than 10 million euros
[00:24:33] in the project, announces a lawsuit.
[00:24:37] Citizens continue to
[00:24:40] warn of
[00:24:43] possible consequences for the environment.
[00:24:47] After the electoral victory of the
[00:24:50] student list, Serbia faces
[00:24:54] negotiations. on the formation
[00:24:57] of a new government, the takeover of
[00:25:00] institutions and real work, the
[00:25:03] to stop the accumulation of waste, were
[00:25:07] supposed to be adopted.
[00:25:09] However,
[00:25:14] the ruling majority rejected proposals
[00:25:18] for direct supervision
[00:25:21] over the Security and Intelligence
[00:25:25] Agency (SOA) and a new session
[00:25:28] with its representatives. More in the report
[00:25:32] by Katarina Plantak. SOA
[00:25:36] will not be The opposition is asking Mayor Šime
[00:25:40] Erlić for complete documentation on the reception, transport
[00:25:44] collection, processing and disposal of waste from January 1,
[00:25:48] 2021,
[00:25:50] until today. More in the report by Vesela Šegvić
[00:25:52] Kordić.
[00:25:56] Did waste from Varaždin end up at the Zadar landfill
[00:25:59] Diklo? The State Inspectorate, in response to... one
[00:26:02] states that such a thing was never
[00:26:05] established by supervision. The waste in question was processed in the Nbo
[00:26:08] plant in accordance with the waste management permit, resulting in,
[00:26:12] among other things, other waste, including mixtures
[00:26:16] of materials from mechanical waste processing that was handed over for further
[00:26:20] processing to authorized persons. From the bridge, they claim
[00:26:23] otherwise, they state that there are serious indications that part of the waste from
[00:26:26] Varaždin, instead of being properly processed and disposed of, ended up
[00:26:30] at Diklo. They demand that it be confirmed whether
[00:26:33] irregularities were committed, which is why they filed criminal charges against
[00:26:37] cities, the relevant minister of the fund, that a broader
[00:26:40] investigation is needed here to prove all
[00:26:43] facts about the remediation, not just
[00:26:46] the facts about the remediation of Varaždin's bales, but also about the garbage that
[00:26:49] is brought daily to the
[00:26:52] Dikla landfill in Zadar. The fund, however, refers to the city of
[00:26:56] Varaždin because they conducted the remediation procedure. The implementation
[00:27:00] of this was carried out by the city of Varaždin. through contracts and through
[00:27:03] technical documentation, it is defined how it must be carried out
[00:27:07] these questions refer to them, that is, to the city of
[00:27:10] Zadar and Čistoća, from which they repeat the words
[00:27:13] of the inspectorate. No baled
[00:27:15] waste came to the Diklo landfill, which was confirmed
[00:27:19] by the inspection's findings. At the request of
[00:27:22] the opposition, the mayor will provide the city councilors with all
[00:27:26] necessary documentation regarding the waste at Diklo, stating that nothing
[00:27:29] is being hidden. After that processing. and
[00:27:33] manipulation with it in Varaždin, it is impossible
[00:27:35] to determine how much, if any, of that came to Zadar in
[00:27:39] what quantities, but bales as bales as waste that we are
[00:27:43] talking about did not end up there, that was confirmed by Dirh. The Diklo
[00:27:46] landfill is covered with cameras, so if this case
[00:27:50] becomes the subject of an investigation, it should not be difficult to determine
[00:27:53] who entered and what was brought here. Vesela Šegvić

[00:28:10] Yesterday marked two years since the collapse of the concrete
[00:28:13] canopy of the Novi Sad railway station, in which 16
[00:28:16] together people died. No one has been held responsible for their deaths even after
[00:28:20] two years, although three
[00:28:23] separate court proceedings are underway. Tributes were paid to the victims in
[00:28:27] Novi Sad and other cities
[00:28:29] in Serbia.
[00:28:36] Wait, the place where those who travel, especially when the days are
[00:28:39] like this, for full six decades found
[00:28:42] shelter. For two full years, the place is a memory of those
[00:28:45] who, seeking respite and shelter under tons
[00:28:48] of concrete, lost their lives. At
[00:28:51] 11:52, a silence fell over the Novi Sad railway
[00:28:55] station, to the verses of Dušan Kovačević, "only
[00:28:58] I am no more," Šantić's verses
[00:29:02] followed, "why are
[00:29:04] you not here, why are
[00:29:07] you not here."
[00:29:12] In order to set it up anew where it all happened,
[00:29:16] citizens from three sides of Novi Sad walked silently in columns,
[00:29:19] However, with reverence, but
[00:29:21] with hope. I hope for a collective healing, I am very sad
[00:29:25] that we are even in this place, that this tragedy happened, but I hope
[00:29:29] it is not in vain.
[00:29:32] "This nation that came shows that all this, in the end,
[00:29:35] gained some meaning, we expect that finally
[00:29:38] justice will be served, right,
[00:29:42] which is why all this started I hope we are worthy
[00:29:45] of these 16 souls who
[00:29:49] uh gave their lives, I would say
[00:29:52] this as a symbol of corruption that existed
[00:29:56] after which all this change started, so that what
[00:30:00] the change was initiated for has its own." is the name, students once
[00:30:04] again reminded: tragedy is not a word
[00:30:07] that adequately describes what happened on November 1,
[00:30:11] 2024. year?
[00:30:14] No, tragedy describes misfortune,
[00:30:18] an accidental event, and behind this word, one can
[00:30:22] cleverly hide the word we all
[00:30:25] seek, that is
[00:30:27] responsibility. Because of the awakened belief that in
[00:30:31] the new socio-political environment it will truly finally be
[00:30:35] achieved, today's commemoration is, journalist
[00:30:38] Dalibor Stupar believes, somewhat different from last year's.
[00:30:41] I saw a huge number of people crying, who
[00:30:44] were, carrying flowers and all the rest, on the other hand, this
[00:30:47] angle, I think that somehow everyone is more optimistic, that
[00:30:51] they somehow hope that maybe this will be the last time we are
[00:30:55] in doubt here, that maybe next year
[00:30:59] we will already meet with...
