[00:00:00] Of course, with great pressure, it passed while they were in power, so
[00:00:04] let's say we received an email the day before yesterday from
[00:00:06] the electricity distribution company, that the application for power outages will no longer
[00:00:10] work for a few days until it is established, and because
[00:00:14] Alta Bank is banned from operating, uh,
[00:00:17] there is a danger because we don't know what happened during the past week
[00:00:21] that they pumped an enormous amount of money out of the country, we don't know
[00:00:25] how much, where, or who allowed it, approved it, because the national bank
[00:00:28] has to approve it. "And then overnight the National Bank decided to
[00:00:32] revoke their operating license, and I see that several vice-governors rebelled
[00:00:36] against it and the circumstances are really
[00:00:39] suspicious, unfortunately we currently have no leverage
[00:00:43] for decision-making neither as a list nor as
[00:00:46] experts because we are not involved in any way in the work of state
[00:00:49] bodies, what we are currently managing, is
[00:00:53] through a public appeal to uh institutions,
[00:00:56] prosecutor's offices, to the police, uh
[00:00:59] to call upon..." the unhealthy parts of the system to work and they
[00:01:02] really are working, what is happening on the other hand, is
[00:01:06] that the former regime and former government are trying to
[00:01:10] cause chaos in every way, Alta Bank is part
[00:01:13] of that to hide some of their money, on the other
[00:01:16] hand, to send messages through the media and to
[00:01:20] create chaos, for example, Mr. Vučić immediately on
[00:01:23] Monday at some press conference uh
[00:01:26] called on the state to react or they will just...
[00:01:30] organize themselves, look, he is calling on the government to react at
[00:01:33] a time when he still controls all power, he has all the ministries,
[00:01:37] Mr. Dačić is still the Minister of Police, so there has been no formal
[00:01:41] change of power, we just got elections that were already over,
[00:01:44] yesterday was a repeat, so
[00:01:47] this and I think, we jokingly say that we will call the prosecutor's office to
[00:01:51] react, to accuse Vučić of an attempted color revolution, because he now
[00:01:55] has been talking for two years on television that we are trying
[00:01:58] a color revolution. And now he is trying a color revolution against himself,
[00:02:02] no, I mean, it's completely absurd, but that's part of this
[00:02:05] media manipulation, an attempt to cause
[00:02:08] chaos, Mr. Tošković,
[00:02:12] the prosecution, that is, the organs of the prosecution and
[00:02:16] of fungi, viruses and bacteria on the police - have been under the control of
[00:02:19] Aleksandar Vučić and his regime for a long period, um,
[00:02:22] I understand that you are now uh
[00:02:26] working or will be working
[00:02:28] uh restructuring. "But that's not so easy, that's
[00:02:32] a big state apparatus, those are
[00:02:36] many bodies, uh,
[00:02:38] regional, local, state,
[00:02:41] uh, is there a strategy, is there
[00:02:43] a plan? Uh, there is a global
[00:02:47] strategy, we have about 2,000 experts from
[00:02:51] various fields who have been helping us since the beginning, since
[00:02:55] the formation of the list, in writing programs, in
[00:02:58] strategy, a good part. We don't have experience
[00:03:02] working with the state apparatus, so we are experts from various
[00:03:05] fields, but we haven't worked in state administration, some of us
[00:03:09] have, like our colleague Šoškić, for example, he was the governor of the national bank,
[00:03:13] so on the list itself we have some people who participated, and
[00:03:16] besides the list we have about 2,000 experts who help,
[00:03:20] what is the strategy? The strategy can be summarized in a few steps, so
[00:03:24] one is that we adopt regulations
[00:03:27] that will empower these institutions to act independently, such as the
[00:03:31] prosecution police uh and so on, the second is to
[00:03:34] be as transparent as possible, so that all
[00:03:37] agreements that the previous government signed and declared state
[00:03:41] secrets for completely unknown reasons, I have emphasized several times for
[00:03:45] regional media, for example, I don't know how many years ago
[00:03:48] a monument to Stefan Nemanja was erected in front of the former railway station,
[00:03:52] we still don't know how much that monument cost, meaning it was so
[00:03:56] secretive, which is a breeding ground for corruption, so...
[00:04:00] "Strengthening institutions, transparency, and
[00:04:03] uh, the third step is de-partification, so what was
[00:04:06] really absurd was that you almost couldn't
[00:04:09] imagine someone becoming a director without being
[00:04:13] implicitly, and in the end it became even more explicitly, a supporter
[00:04:16] or member of the progressive party, so in the end we are not a party, we
[00:04:20] don't have our own staff, so that will be, I would say,
[00:04:24] a partially easier part of the job, what is the problem is that
[00:04:27] the system has gotten used to and we are already now..." that we really have
[00:04:30] in Nušić's comedies, so you have people
[00:04:34] already thinking about how to join
[00:04:38] the student list to become some officials, I mean there is no
[00:04:41] way because we are not a party, but somehow
[00:04:45] some processes are happening that you get the impression that they are
[00:04:49] part of literature and even some ironic
[00:04:52] film, and the reality is really
[00:04:55] like that, here I have actually extracted about
[00:04:59] the first moves... of the Government of Serbia, I think your
[00:05:02] colleague Sajčić from the list spoke
[00:05:06] about that, actually in the first month, the goal is those three
[00:05:10] measures: stable dinar exchange rate, regular salaries, pensions,
[00:05:13] here the question certainly arises how Alta bank and this situation with
[00:05:17] Alta will affect all this, then the second is
[00:05:20] secured energy supply and the third is talks with
[00:05:24] the USA about sanctions against Serbia
[00:05:26] and talks with Russia about
[00:05:29] gas, can we briefly, since it's these first
[00:05:33] months, comment on uh these measures, especially this
[00:05:37] foreign, foreign policy, energy one is also
[00:05:39] interesting,
[00:05:42] yes. Well, I think the previous regime put us in an awkward situation
[00:05:45] in almost all fields, both internally by dismantling the system, and externally,
[00:05:49] so what, let's say, was good, was
[00:05:52] that it tried to balance with some
[00:05:55] diplomacy, to maintain good relations between Serbia and various actors
[00:05:59] on whom Serbia depends, but on the other
[00:06:01] hand, the way it did it was that it literally lied to everyone around
[00:06:05] itself, so with Western leaders it tells one
[00:06:09] story, with the Russians another and the West.
[00:06:12] "None of this was done to bring Serbia closer to the European Union,
[00:06:16] and we are a candidate country, nor to maintain some
[00:06:19] long-term stable relations with energy suppliers, for example, to create
[00:06:23] diversification of the energy system so that we don't depend only on one side and
[00:06:26] so on, uh, so that's it, these are really steps to
[00:06:30] somehow not make sudden moves that would destabilize
[00:06:34] the country, that would not be good either for Serbia, nor for
[00:06:38] Europe, because we are a candidate country, it's not good for a candidate country to be, is it
[00:06:41] right? unstable, uh, that
[00:06:44] in some way we try to build relations
[00:06:48] uh we constantly emphasize
[00:06:51] to foreign leaders and contacts
[00:06:54] diplomatic, so uh what they can count on is that we will
[00:06:58] be a credible partner that we will not lie
[00:07:01] to anyone, so some things are currently feasible, some
[00:07:05] are not, we don't know what state our financial system is in, here this with Alta
[00:07:08] bank, we don't know what they will leave us, they will try in every way
[00:07:12] to... uh still further dismantle the system, but
[00:07:16] we will do our best, so in agreements to keep it as
[00:07:19] stable as possible in a not too long term
[00:07:22] sustainable way. Mr. Tošković, you have
[00:07:26] already given some statements for regional media,
[00:07:30] I am interested in the stance of future relations, let's say
[00:07:33] your Serbia uh with countries in the region, that is something that
[00:07:37] is certainly primary given our
[00:07:41] shared history. "and the wars of the 90s,
[00:07:44] something that for citizens in
[00:07:47] many of these countries is, let's say, they have a question mark over
[00:07:51] their heads, how will this new Serbia behave
[00:07:54] towards us and will there be changes, you, to
[00:07:58] quote you, expressed hope for the calming of relations between Croatia and
[00:08:02] Serbia, you said, you compared it
[00:08:06] to ex-spouses after a difficult divorce,
[00:08:11] now they have, there those relations
[00:08:15] should be smoothed out and in what
[00:08:19] way do you imagine now, jokes aside? A very important question
[00:08:22] mm relations Zagreb, Belgrade, but also
[00:08:26] Belgrade, Sarajevo, especially in
[00:08:28] the context of uh Banja
[00:08:30] Luka?
[00:08:33] Well, I think that this morning or yesterday our writer Goran Stojičić wrote a
[00:08:36] wonderful comment on social media saying, dear neighbors,
[00:08:40] uh I hope that you will that we will manage to
[00:08:43] convince you that we are a people who
[00:08:47] loves its country, but also loves all of you, so,
[00:08:51] uh, I don't see any reason to
[00:08:53] deepen uh conflicts, let me remind you that the conflict
[00:08:57] has long not existed, so the conflict existed only
[00:09:01] in the minds of politicians, uh,
[00:09:03] it became a real conflict three decades
[00:09:06] ago, right, which then deepened and instead of
[00:09:09] calming down, it was somehow always before elections
[00:09:12] misused for daily political purposes, that's the first thing
[00:09:16] we simply won't do, secondly,
[00:09:19] so, no, there is no stable Serbia without stable
[00:09:23] relations with all neighbors, do we have
[00:09:26] common children? So we are the common children of Yugoslavia, we have
[00:09:29] a beautiful common past, no one will
[00:09:32] ever convince me that Kud idioti and Krleža are not part of my
[00:09:36] past, so this in the same way
[00:09:39] I think for all of us and this uh...
[00:09:42] "It's simply that, that's these are some foundations on which I see further
[00:09:46] cooperation, so we have a strong common past and
[00:09:50] besides, that conflict existed, but we had many beautiful
[00:09:54] common things and I think we can in some way
[00:09:57] learn from our mistakes, but also learn from
[00:10:00] the beautiful things we had together and
[00:10:02] fostered, um do you think that
[00:10:06] it is necessary in
[00:10:08] Serbia to have some kind of reflection on
[00:10:12] the events of the 90s, truly
[00:10:15] clarifying - what really
[00:10:18] happened, whose responsibility
[00:10:22] it is and what are the lessons that should be learned
[00:10:25] from it, do you think that this
[00:10:28] is a discussion that should come on the agenda in Serbia
[00:10:32] as a society?
[00:10:35] Absolutely, so I think that there are always two steps to this,
[00:10:39] so in reconciliation, in everything, so one step is to understand your own
[00:10:43] responsibility, to somehow uh
[00:10:46] understand the whole process which is part of where Serbia
[00:10:50] made mistakes, then communicate
[00:10:52] more clearly, with with... neighbors,
[00:10:56] so, where we together made mistakes, so,
[00:11:00] certainly the first step, or let's say
[00:11:03] in parallel, it's very important to open those discussions in the most
[00:11:07] honest way possible, so uh, the stability of all of us
[00:11:11] and common coexistence,
[00:11:14] depends on how ready we are to accept our own
[00:11:17] responsibility to be as clear as possible, I mean until you accept
[00:11:21] your own responsibility you cannot clearly offer your hand to another and say:...
[00:11:25] "Uh, let's go on, so, that certainly
[00:11:28] stands,
[00:11:30] partially it has already been worked on, so, it's not that nothing has been done
[00:11:34] in the past 30 years, but it was constantly wrapped
[00:11:38] in some, I don't know, let's say daily
[00:11:40] political schemes that blurred it, so on the one
[00:11:44] hand, there were many arrests in Serbia, many
[00:11:48] people who were leaders and went to The Hague, they were tried there,
[00:11:51] convicted of war crimes, on the other
[00:11:54] hand. Then as a state it arrests, works, cooperates,
[00:11:58] then in the media it sends a completely different picture to the public, which actually
[00:12:01] created a very strange atmosphere, so I even
[00:12:05] compared it in an interview for domestic media to double bind
[00:12:09] communication that exists in some families, completely schizophrenic
[00:12:12] communication where you do one thing and say another and then
[00:12:16] that naturally creates a
[00:12:19] strange picture for people, so a very unclear one, and it is suitable for
[00:12:23] manipulation of all kinds.
[00:12:26] "Yes, especially when there is no
[00:12:29] truly in the background some truth,
[00:12:32] but some fragments from which then very
[00:12:35] easily, some other
[00:12:38] stories are created, when we talk about
[00:12:41] about your plan for the future, your critics will
[00:12:45] say, well, for the students it was only about overthrowing Vučić, now they have
[00:12:49] overthrown Vučić and what now, is
[00:12:52] that really so?".
[00:12:55] Of course it wasn't, for us actually overthrowing Vučić was not at all
[00:12:58] a priority, so that was just the first step to
[00:13:02] free the institutions and the student movement
[00:13:05] was uh from the beginning, so when it
[00:13:08] started as a rebellion and as a protest,
[00:13:12] the change of Vučić was not at all among the first demands, so all
[00:13:15] four first demands related to the prosecutor's office
[00:13:19] reacting in the case of the canopy,
[00:13:22] so uh the demands were very clear towards
[00:13:25] the institutions of the system to start doing their job, and the student
[00:13:29] movement continued that, so elections were
[00:13:32] sought only about six or seven months after the
[00:13:36] protest began, purely
[00:13:39] as a stepping stone towards achieving the original
[00:13:43] demands, so we have a plan that is quite
[00:13:46] detailed, written in cooperation with us, I mentioned about
[00:13:50] 2.0 experts from various fields, a summary of that plan is
[00:13:53] already online, it can be downloaded, viewed, and these are things
[00:13:57] that we plan to do, so, removing Vučić
[00:14:01] was literally just the first step to open the door
[00:14:03] to opportunities to fulfill that
[00:14:07] program, so we have a detailed mhm, we can't wait to
[00:14:10] start working on it, actually, here, just a quick question for the end regarding
[00:14:13] the region's foreign policy issues for
[00:14:16] Serbia, there is certainly the relationship with Montenegro, the relationship with Montenegro
[00:14:20] in recent years has been marked in various ways,
[00:14:24] including serious interference
[00:14:27] by Serbia in the internal political issues of Montenegro,
[00:14:31] my question to you is, will your government,
[00:14:34] that is, what will be formed as the government that will emerge from
[00:14:38] this majority, will you change that kind of policy towards Montenegro
[00:14:42] and on the other hand, will support for
[00:14:46] uh Milorad Dodik in
[00:14:49] the Bosnian-Herzegovinian entity Republika Srpska continue, which
[00:14:51] actually. more and more calls into question
[00:14:55] the territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina as
[00:14:59] a state? Well, as I said earlier,
[00:15:01] so, we see
[00:15:04] relations with all neighbors as good neighborly
[00:15:08] relations, so that implies of course that we don't send a plane
[00:15:11] full of former criminals to a neighboring country to
[00:15:15] cause chaos there, right, as was attempted,
[00:15:18] uh, so it's the same as someone said, so when the
[00:15:22] list was published, the first objection they found with the first on
[00:15:26] our list, Dr. Ilija Sedanović, professor
[00:15:28] of Montenegrin origin, someone among us says,
[00:15:32] until yesterday we had no problem with Montenegro, now we do, so literally they were
[00:15:36] misused and so. I mean, pumped differences and
[00:15:39] conflicts where there were none, in order to gain some daily
[00:15:42] political points or develop a strategy
[00:15:45] based on that, which is completely absurd, so with Montenegro
[00:15:49] as with Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the best possible
[00:15:52] relations, uh, I don't see any reason for it to be
[00:15:55] otherwise. Uh, the damage to all of us
[00:15:59] all these years is that criminal clans cooperated
[00:16:02] much better than the governments of some
[00:16:05] states did, and I think that it should be the opposite, uh, now regarding
[00:16:09] Republika Srpska, of course Serbia, with
[00:16:12] signed agreements and according to the plan, has relations
[00:16:16] with Republika Srpska in various bilateral
[00:16:19] agreements, because it gathers the Serbian people
[00:16:23] who live there, it is some kind of umbrella
[00:16:26] unit, resulting from the Dayton Agreement,
[00:16:30] we constantly emphasize that we will respect, of course, I mean,
[00:16:34] it's strange to emphasize it, but we have to because......
[00:16:37] "Not only did the opposing side, the previous regime, bring it up
[00:16:41] as a topic, but somehow people were not sure if it would happen,
[00:16:45] we will truly respect all international agreements, which is, I would say,
[00:16:49] a normal expectation, uh, what is a shame is
[00:16:53] that the entity of Republika Srpska is tied to the name of Milorad Dodik
[00:16:56] just like someone tied Serbia to Vučić until yesterday
[00:17:00] and so on, so, we do not
[00:17:03] intend to interfere in the internal affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina as
[00:17:06] it." interfered in the internal affairs of Montenegro,
[00:17:09] so, but we certainly intend to maintain
[00:17:13] relations with Republika Srpska, I think that Republika Srpska at this
[00:17:16] moment is an important part of the Dayton Agreement and
[00:17:20] that what, unfortunately, is happening in Bosnia
[00:17:23] and Herzegovina, what I can say from the outside
[00:17:26] more through friendly relations and collegial ones that
[00:17:30] I have with colleagues from Banja Luka and Sarajevo, is that
[00:17:33] unfortunately Republika Srpska is being misused for daily political
[00:17:37] purposes so that someone there can stay in
[00:17:40] power or from here it was misused to
[00:17:44] deepen that non-existent conflict, so I
[00:17:48] think it's important to respect the Dayton Agreement and to build
[00:17:51] relations, I said that, so
[00:17:55] Belgrade has and should have good relations with Banja Luka, we have an agreement,
[00:17:59] but also with Sarajevo, I see Banja Luka and Sarajevo
[00:18:02] as equally
[00:18:06] I would say dear people. and equally dear cities, uh, and
[00:18:10] I think it is important that there are, that no
[00:18:12] sudden moves are made that will actually
[00:18:15] preserve peace and stability rather than some
[00:18:19] sudden change that is not according to the will of the people who live
[00:18:22] there, and so once again, so support for
[00:18:26] some structure like Republika Srpska or
[00:18:29] like the existing peace like the Dayton
[00:18:32] Agreement definitely does not mean the same as supporting Dodik because.
[00:18:35] Republika Srpska is not and
[00:18:38] it seems to me that it is even in the BiH entity Republika
[00:18:42] Srpska is one of the few places
[00:18:45] where citizens of Serbia with voting rights could
[00:18:48] vote uh in elections where Aleksandar
[00:18:51] Vučić actually won more votes than the student list,
[00:18:55] correct me if I'm wrong,
[00:18:58] uh yes, that's it, that's another good example of what they were doing,
[00:19:02] so, not only were they quarreling with, I would say, all neighbors, no,
[00:19:05] but they literally almost brought it as perhaps a collateral
[00:19:09] effect, but probably intentionally, to quarrel, I would say,
[00:19:13] the citizens of Serbia who live in
[00:19:15] Serbia with Serbs who live in Republika Srpska
[00:19:19] almost at one point it was dangerous for some animosity to appear because
[00:19:22] they were buying votes through their political connections
[00:19:26] and even importing people for the previous elections in 2023,
[00:19:30] they literally brought people by bus to vote in
[00:19:33] local elections in Serbia, which
[00:19:36] is terrible, but these are those daily political
[00:19:39] entanglements and manipulations that then practically
[00:19:42] deepen the crisis on all sides, so it almost led
[00:19:45] to Serbs from Republika Srpska and Serbs from
[00:19:49] Serbia having some conflict on that relation
[00:19:52] because someone decided that it suited them to get more votes,
[00:19:56] uh Mr. Tošković,
[00:19:59] I just have a quick question for the end, will you be in the government
[00:20:02] or will you be in the national assembly?
[00:20:06] "I don't know and actually
[00:20:08] I honestly don't care, this is something we are just entering
[00:20:12] into that process, we will vote,
[00:20:15] I think I can contribute to
[00:20:17] both sides, so depending on how we
[00:20:21] agree, I really have no preferences regarding
[00:20:25] that, so it's important to start this process,
[00:20:28] I always say from the first to the 250th on
[00:20:32] that list, from Ilija to Nenad, everyone would be great
[00:20:35] both ministers and prime ministers and and members of parliament,
[00:20:38] so it's important that things work, names are the
[00:20:42] least important thing here, of course they are important as
[00:20:45] to maintain some kind of stability.
[00:20:48] to continue with the implementation of the program, but they are really
[00:20:51] secondary, the essence is for the program of
[00:20:54] institutions to start working, Mr. Tošković, thank you very much for
[00:20:57] your time for this interview for
[00:21:01] N1 Croatia, we will certainly be in contact, once again this
[00:21:04] was Oliver Tošković, one of the winning candidates from
[00:21:08] the student list in Serbia. Thank you
[00:21:10] again.

[00:23:00] anti-fungal spray that
[00:25:07] Dear viewers, welcome back, you are watching a new day,
[00:25:11] we are now going to Gospić, where my next guest is Mr. Vijeko
[00:25:14] Bušić from the initiative Gospić naš dom, Mr.
[00:25:18] Bušić, good morning. Welcome to
[00:25:20] N1,
[00:25:23] good morning, or rather good day, greetings to you and your
[00:25:26] viewers, Mr.
[00:25:28] Bušić, we now have a new story when Gospić is in
[00:25:32] question, on the one hand, the remediation has
[00:25:36] started, I would certainly like to hear your
[00:25:38] opinion and statement on that, but on the other hand,
[00:25:42] a story is emerging about a factory that is not new, let's be clear,
[00:25:46] but we have new uh some new moments.
[00:25:50] In this story, it's about a lithium factory, or a factory for
[00:25:53] lithium processing in Gospić, will
[00:25:56] it remain without a building
[00:25:58] permit,
[00:26:01] well, here... uh, our position on this is actually very
[00:26:04] clear, on February 27th
[00:26:08] of this year when
[00:26:10] the ministry's opinion was annulled that
[00:26:14] require an environmental impact assessment
[00:26:18] and when the investor was sent
[00:26:21] back to the environmental impact assessment procedure,
[00:26:24] then finally on August 3rd when it was announced that
[00:26:28] an environmental impact study must be prepared,
[00:26:31] it is clear that according to... the Law on General Administrative Procedure,
[00:26:35] the building permit must be revoked, given
[00:26:38] that a building permit cannot exist
[00:26:41] without a prior environmental impact study,
[00:26:45] I think the law is very clear here,
[00:26:48] Mr. Milinović actually came into conflict with you here, as far as
[00:26:52] I understand, uh, he even accused certain
[00:26:56] members of the initiative of some
[00:26:58] possible connections with other investors or other waste
[00:27:02] dumps.
[00:27:05] Well, I don't know how uh how would citizens who are actually
[00:27:08] the whole problem of waste itself
[00:27:12] and the lithium factory itself raise
[00:27:16] with their activity with their reasoned objections
[00:27:20] actually
[00:27:22] uh, so to speak, to be publicly available to the entire public with
[00:27:26] their argumentation, we are asking for the annulment of the building
[00:27:30] permit for the lithium factory, even on the
[00:27:32] 36th boundary, we presented our
[00:27:36] remarks in the environmental impact assessment procedure, we wrote down all the
[00:27:39] illogicalities and wrong data that the investor used precisely
[00:27:43] to avoid that study, and as for the
[00:27:46] waste itself, meaning where we still forced
[00:27:50] institutions in a way to work faster,
[00:27:52] although we are still not satisfied, well, I don't know how
[00:27:56] we could be as citizens or as members of this
[00:27:59] initiative the only main problem. of that, well,
[00:28:03] that's actually a bit incredible to me, but well
[00:28:06] we'll let people judge, and there's another
[00:28:09] moment, these 10 million euros
[00:28:12] of investor Aleksandra Devčić, he says he
[00:28:15] invested that much and that if the permit is revoked
[00:28:19] he will sue the city of Gospić, now that's another
[00:28:23] another dimension, so well
[00:28:25] actually yes, well unfortunately
[00:28:28] we are hearing some threats from the investor, actually
[00:28:31] the investor uh... all the time this again
[00:28:34] actually the investor addresses the city, meaning
[00:28:37] a small local community, although actually it is very
[00:28:41] clear from the entire chronology of the case how much
[00:28:44] responsibility and fault actually lies precisely with
[00:28:47] the investor, the investor sent the first request
[00:28:51] to the ministry in 2023
[00:28:54] and correctly named his plant then, meaning that
[00:28:57] it is a lithium processing factory, when he then received
[00:29:01] the ministry's opinion that his project should go to
[00:29:05] an environmental impact study, he abandoned it, he again
[00:29:08] submits a request in March
[00:29:12] 2024, incorrectly
[00:29:15] classifying it as a plant for melting mineral substances,
[00:29:19] at the ministry's request to correctly
[00:29:23] classify his project, because it is about a suitable
[00:29:27] plant for melting mineral substances, he withdraws his
[00:29:30] request and submits a new request. mhm, his entire elaborate
[00:29:34] is full of errors, he actually
[00:29:38] completely wrongly states the chemical formula by which
[00:29:41] he represents his project, or rather he stated only one formula, not
[00:29:44] two or three that will actually be used in that uh production process
[00:29:48] precisely to most likely hide the nature
[00:29:51] of his process, then what is most important
[00:29:55] in Croatia, the impact on water, on karst soil, on
[00:29:58] groundwater, he actually copies
[00:30:01] from the elaborate... from the Zagreb-Sisak
[00:30:05] highway junction, Žažina junction, so the investor
[00:30:08] is the one, let's say that according to
[00:30:11] the ministry he uses one name and then says
[00:30:14] it is about processing uh
[00:30:18] lithium soda, first lithium salts, so all these
[00:30:21] names are not technical names in the chemical
[00:30:24] industry, precisely so that he would actually in some way hide
[00:30:28] the true nature of his process, so that he would not reveal
[00:30:31] that it is actually... about classical chemical industry,
[00:30:35] precisely according to our positive regulations which are actually
[00:30:38] copied regulations from the European Union, for the chemical
[00:30:41] industry, an environmental impact study is always mandatory,
[00:30:44] that the investor was aware of this,
[00:30:48] one needs to go back to February 29, 2024
[00:30:52] when the investor's representatives presented this project
[00:30:55] at the city council, the investor explicitly and clearly said:
