[00:00:00] nicer locations old houses remained, some of which burned down yesterday,
[00:00:03] some burned houses, stables old ones that were abandoned, no one
[00:00:07] lived in them
[00:00:08] and
[00:00:11] not just a question of whether the houses are threatened well, they are not currently threatened
[00:00:15] because people organized themselves and defended their households, their properties
[00:00:18] their orchards individually this is now a wider
[00:00:22] area and here, therefore, a larger mass of people is needed who would need to
[00:00:26] extinguish this. Thank you for taking the time this morning to speak for N1. Thank you.
[00:00:30] Here you heard what Goran Nikolić,
[00:00:33] an environmental activist, says and what he thinks about this
[00:00:36] fire that appeared. There is still
[00:00:40] no information about how the fire started,
[00:00:43] although yesterday information appeared
[00:00:47] that one of the causes, although no one has confirmed it yet,
[00:00:50] could have been a train that
[00:00:52] especially in the south of Banat and in somewhere at half
[00:00:55] past one went towards Ušće from Kraljevo and
[00:00:59] as some locals. said, these are videos that appeared on social
[00:01:02] networks, they saw sparks that
[00:01:05] were, that were created when the wheels of the
[00:01:09] train went over the rails and they uh suspect
[00:01:12] that the fire was caused by the sparks
[00:01:16] of that train.
[00:01:18] Nenade, thank you, we heard Nenad Božević. And at
[00:01:22] the unsanitary landfill in Paraćin, where a fire broke out on Sunday,
[00:01:25] there is still thick smoke. The municipality of Paraćin announced that
[00:01:29] the fire, which is currently localized, occurred
[00:01:33] due to the deliberate burning of low vegetation near
[00:01:35] the landfill, to which the fire quickly spread. Thick smoke
[00:01:39] and unpleasant odors were also felt by citizens of Ćuprija and
[00:01:43] Jagodina. The Kreni Promeni movement in Paraćin claims that the
[00:01:46] extinguishing of the fire began a day after it broke out and calls on the authorities
[00:01:50] to take responsibility for, as they state, the possible consequences of an ecological
[00:01:54] catastrophe.
[00:01:57] The fire at the Buljanka landfill broke out on Sunday, and as they say. Citizens who
[00:02:00] recorded the fire that same evening, no one appeared at that moment
[00:02:04] to extinguish the fire, as they point out until Monday
[00:02:07] morning. The fire broke out on Sunday morning
[00:02:11] and citizens had already started reporting on social networks
[00:02:14] and asking what was actually happening at this
[00:02:18] landfill. Unfortunately, this is not the first time
[00:02:21] that this landfill has burned, it almost seems like a
[00:02:25] tradition. This is actually, let's say, an ecological
[00:02:28] catastrophe. The municipality. Paraćin on its social media page
[00:02:32] informed the public that the fire broke out due to the burning of low vegetation
[00:02:35] near the landfill. A call was made to citizens to avoid being outdoors
[00:02:39] due to thick smoke and possible spread of toxic
[00:02:42] gases, especially near the landfill. What is the air quality
[00:02:45] at the moment and why wasn't the fire extinguished that same evening
[00:02:49] when it broke out? That information has not yet been delivered to the Kreni Promeni movement,
[00:02:53] which sent a request for information of public importance.
[00:02:56] The assumption is that the sector for emergency situations did not react.
[00:03:00] because the emergency situations headquarters in Paraćin did not meet and
[00:03:04] probably did not do everything it was supposed to do, we were here on
[00:03:08] the spot that night and found only two employees of the public
[00:03:11] utility company with four vehicles, two small
[00:03:15] bulldozers, one of which is here and uh
[00:03:19] two tanker trucks which are normally used in the city
[00:03:22] for water supply when there are power outages, while
[00:03:26] the fire spread through the landfill in the city center, that same evening a concert
[00:03:30] by Ana Bekuta was held on the occasion of the traditional fair. Citizens of
[00:03:34] Paraćin, at least those who live in the city center, say they did not smell
[00:03:37] smoke from the fire, those who live near the landfill did.
[00:03:41] I am right across from the landfill, we suffocated,
[00:03:45] really, I am from Trešnjevica only in
[00:03:47] Morava, I don't know how it didn't pass Morava, it's a little,
[00:03:51] in the evening, it was really
[00:03:54] is, we are also in bright, in the evening you couldn't stand in front of the house, you know that the landfill was burning,
[00:03:57] I came to the city 10 minutes ago, maybe 15. "Did you hear that the landfill was burning? No, no, well,
[00:04:00] I went out into the yard, but I didn't,
[00:04:04] I didn't smell anything. The fire is currently
[00:04:07] localized. At the landfill, smoke still rises from
[00:04:10] the burnt area. Machinery continues to cover the landfill with earth and sand
[00:04:14] three days after the fire, so that new
[00:04:17] sparks do not occur. There are cameras at the landfill, but as for how
[00:04:20] the fire started, there is still no answer from the municipality to the questions that N1
[00:04:24] sent, nor about the air quality that at plus
[00:04:27] 40 degrees Celsius, citizens are breathing these days." "Nataša
[00:04:31] Lazarević, N1, Paraćin.
[00:04:43] Very high temperatures these days rarely please anyone, so numerous warnings
[00:04:46] are in force due to the negative impact of heat
[00:04:49] on public health of the population. We will hear more
[00:04:53] from Radmila Mitrović. Rado, what was the meteorological
[00:04:56] forecast? Mija, the biometeorological conditions will be
[00:05:00] unfavorable today, especially for chronic patients. The
[00:05:04] biometeorological forecast states that meteoropathic
[00:05:07] reactions are possible in a stronger form. It is recommended to dress in
[00:05:11] accordance with the forecast daily air temperature, as
[00:05:14] well as special caution for participants in traffic. It is advised
[00:05:18] to avoid staying outdoors in the warmest
[00:05:21] part of the day, regular intake of fluids and staying in
[00:05:24] cooled rooms.
[00:05:28] Very hot weather is also forecast for today, especially in the area
[00:05:31] of the Pannonian Plain where temperatures will exceed
[00:05:34] 40°. However, it will not be completely stable,
[00:05:38] in the afternoon clouds are coming from the east that will cover
[00:05:41] parts of Serbia and cause showers
[00:05:45] accompanied by thunder. This morning in our country it is predominantly
[00:05:48] sunny, in some cities the temperature is already higher than
[00:05:52] 30°. Predominantly sunny weather will continue
[00:05:56] during the morning hours, while in the afternoon there will be slightly more
[00:06:00] clouds, locally showers with thunder are expected,
[00:06:05] eastern Serbia, where there may also be strong
[00:06:08] winds. The maximum daily temperature in most of our
[00:06:11] country today. interval from 34 degrees to
[00:06:15] even 40 degrees. On Friday
[00:06:18] we expect a temperature 3 to 5 degrees lower, there will also
[00:06:21] be conditions for showers accompanied by thunder. Occasional
[00:06:25] precipitation is also expected for the weekend with a maximum
[00:06:28] temperature of up to 35 degrees. From Monday
[00:06:31] then we again announce a rise in temperature.
[00:06:35] That would be all about the weather for this morning, stay with the new
[00:06:38] day. Thank you, Rado, we heard Radmila Mitrović and the weather forecast.
[00:06:43] We continue with the new day, here's what you'll be
[00:06:44] watching.
[00:06:47] The discussion on amendments to the Law on Education opened up
[00:06:50] numerous questions of division in education. What does the draft law bring
[00:06:54] and why do trade unions warn that certain
[00:06:57] solutions could endanger the rights of employees? On this
[00:07:00] morning's topic, we talk with Snežana Romandić from the Union of Education
[00:07:04] Workers of
[00:07:04] Serbia.
[00:07:08] The constitutive session of the Assembly of Kosovo scheduled for today, we are live in...
[00:07:15] Sports news is brought to us by a colleague from Sport Club Ilija
[00:07:18] Kovačić.
[00:07:21] Before that, another overview of the most important news. Ivana Terzić is with
[00:07:25] us. Ivana, last night director Stevan
[00:07:28] Filipović was attacked. Yes, Mija, director Stevan Filipović was attacked
[00:07:32] last night in the center of Belgrade at the corner of Makedonska and
[00:07:35] Nušićeva streets. According to him, he was physically
[00:07:38] attacked by five people who knocked him to the ground, kicking
[00:07:42] and hitting him with chairs on the head and stealing his mobile
[00:07:45] phone. A group
[00:07:48] of supporters, members, mercenaries
[00:07:51] of the ruling party for the hundredth
[00:07:54] time or I don't know how many times demolished a protected
[00:07:57] building, a cultural and historical monument at
[00:08:01] the corner of Makedonska and Nušićeva. I photographed some of
[00:08:05] them, uh, a few minutes passed,
[00:08:07] a guy weighing 100 kg
[00:08:11] in a gray shirt attacked me, took my mobile phone,
[00:08:15] I tried to take my mobile phone, then five of them came and
[00:08:19] in front of the cameras and 15 people who were
[00:08:22] in line in front of Halo Leskovac in Makedonska
[00:08:25] street pushed me to the ground, then they started
[00:08:29] kicking me, then they took a metal chair where people
[00:08:32] were sitting and started hitting me with
[00:08:35] that chair, I lost consciousness, came
[00:08:38] to consciousness, people who were standing in front of me
[00:08:42] helped me, gave me a phone to record, uh,
[00:08:46] so I have a bruise on my leg,
[00:08:50] I have a hematoma on my hip, I have a concussion
[00:08:52] of the brain.
[00:08:57] In the Ibar gorge, in the area from Maglić to Ušće,
[00:09:00] fires broke out in several locations. The flames engulfed
[00:09:03] forests, low vegetation above the highway, slopes and grass along
[00:09:07] the railway on the right bank of the Ibar. The fire is in an inaccessible
[00:09:10] terrain. Fire brigades from Ušće, Vrnjačka Banja and Kraljevo are on
[00:09:14] the ground trying to contain the fire. The cause of the fire
[00:09:18] is not yet known, but the media reports that it spread over more than 20 locations
[00:09:22] over a length of more than 20 km above the Raška-Kraljevo railway.
[00:09:25] The Ministry of Environmental Protection announced that fires also broke out in
[00:09:29] the Šaranina nature park and that the competent services reacted
[00:09:32] immediately. A helicopter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was engaged in
[00:09:36] extinguishing the fire in the village of Borovac near Zaječar, which engulfed more than 100
[00:09:39] hectares of dry grass and low vegetation. There were no injuries
[00:09:43] in the fire, and residential buildings were not threatened.
[00:09:47] In Deliblatska Peščara, the fire covered an area of about 300
[00:09:51] hectares. The head of the Sector for Emergency Situations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Luka Čaušić,
[00:09:55] stated last night that the new fire that broke out around 2 p.m.
[00:09:58] in Deliblatska Peščara spread very quickly due to
[00:10:02] high temperatures and wind. He added that the fire broke out about
[00:10:06] a kilometer from the area where another large fire was successfully localized
[00:10:09] and extinguished on July 22. More than 80 members of the Sector for
[00:10:13] Emergency Situations, volunteer fire brigades and Vojvodina
[00:10:17] Šuma are currently participating in extinguishing the new fire, while
[00:10:20] three helicopters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been engaged from the air. Čaušić stated that yesterday
[00:10:24] in the territory of the village of Lučica near Požarevac, one person died
[00:10:27] due to a fire that she
[00:10:29] herself caused.
[00:10:32] The landfill in Bačka Palanka is burning again, and numerous fire brigades are making
[00:10:36] efforts to bring the fire under control. In addition to members of
[00:10:39] the Bačka Palanka fire-rescue unit, volunteer fire brigades
[00:10:43] are also on the scene. This is the third time in the last few weeks
[00:10:47] that a fire has broken out at that landfill, and the previous time, firefighters
[00:10:50] extinguished it for more than
[00:10:52] a week.
[00:10:54] The situation with electricity supply in
[00:10:58] Serbia is under control and there is no fear of implementing restrictive
[00:11:01] measures, announced the Government of Serbia after the meeting of the operational team of the Republic
[00:11:05] Headquarters for Emergency Situations. The operational team stated that so far
[00:11:09] no risk of interruption of water supply to the population with drinking
[00:11:12] water has been assessed, regular sampling and laboratory
[00:11:16] testing continues. The operation of pumping stations Bezdan and Bogojevo is prevented
[00:11:20] due to the low water level of the Danube, so it is currently not possible to inject new
[00:11:23] quantities of water into the hydrosystem. the Danube-Tisa-Danube system, which is why the public
[00:11:27] water management company Vode Vojvodine has started preparatory
[00:11:30] works on deepening the intake canal near Bezdan 2 station,
[00:11:34] and it is planned to form an earthen dam, assemble and put into operation
[00:11:37] mobile aggregates at these two locations. At the session, the team
[00:11:41] concluded that the low water level represents a serious challenge for river
[00:11:44] traffic and transport because it reduces the carrying capacity of vessels, extends
[00:11:48] transport time and increases transport
[00:11:50] costs.
[00:11:55] The special envoy of the European Union for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, Peter
[00:11:59] Sorensen, stated that a new high-level meeting between
[00:12:03] Albin Kurti and Aleksandar Vučić will be organized only when both sides are
[00:12:07] ready to achieve concrete results. As he stated,
[00:12:10] Kosovo has an obligation to immediately start negotiations on concrete arrangements and
[00:12:14] guarantees for an adequate level of self-management of the Serbian community,
[00:12:17] while Serbia simultaneously has obligations, including not opposing Kosovo's membership
[00:12:21] in international organizations and accepting Kosovo's
[00:12:25] documents and symbols. He assessed that both sides have been late
[00:12:28] in fulfilling these
[00:12:30] obligations.
[00:12:35] And finally, news and information from border crossings. At the Horgoš
[00:12:39] border crossing, passenger vehicles waited for about
[00:12:42] 45 minutes this morning on exit and entry
[00:12:45] from Serbia, announced Putevi Srbije, citing data from the Border
[00:12:48] Police Administration. At the Gradina border crossing, the waiting time for passenger vehicles
[00:12:52] on exit from Serbia is 15 minutes, while on entry it is about
[00:12:55] 30 minutes. On exit from Serbia at the Patrovci border crossing,
[00:12:59] passenger vehicles wait for about 30 minutes, while at other border
[00:13:03] crossings, according to these information, there are no longer delays for all
[00:13:06] categories of vehicles.
[00:13:09] And that's all for this news, stay with the new

[00:19:34] A new day has dawned, and it's time for our morning topic. In the midst of the debate on the
[00:19:37] Law on the Fundamentals of the Education System, a tribune was held
[00:19:41] that attracted attention due to the limited number of
[00:19:44] participants and the absence of media, while the Ministry of
[00:19:47] Education states that the amendments bring an improvement to the system, part
[00:19:51] of the trade unions warn that certain solutions could
[00:19:54] jeopardize the rights of employees and further tighten the responsibility
[00:19:58] of teachers. What exactly is changing, what would that mean for education
[00:20:01] workers, and what for schools? Our guest this morning is
[00:20:05] Snežana Romandić from the Union of Education Workers of Serbia.
[00:20:08] Ms. Romandić, good morning and thank you for being
[00:20:11] here. To begin with, I would like to ask you, the tribune was, as
[00:20:15] I said, closed to the media, and it was also forbidden to
[00:20:19] bring in phones. Did you get any explanation yesterday as to
[00:20:23] why that was the case? Yesterday, a tribune was held which
[00:20:27] they actually called a public discussion, which it
[00:20:30] was only to a limited extent, considering that
[00:20:33] as someone who attended various public discussions, I was present. at
[00:20:37] them, this was completely different, this was more
[00:20:41] like some kind of exchange of opinions without
[00:20:43] concrete legal frameworks, solutions,
[00:20:47] ideas. When we talk about laws, every comma, every
[00:20:50] period is very important so that we know how to act later according to those legal
[00:20:54] solutions. In the
[00:20:56] invitation for this public tribune, public discussion, it was written
[00:21:00] that we apply individually, which has not been the
[00:21:03] case until now, usually organizations would apply, or
[00:21:07] register their delegates, that the number of those who can
[00:21:11] attend the public discussion will be limited, given
[00:21:14] that uh the dynamics of registration speed
[00:21:18] determined it, so some of our
[00:21:20] members who were interested in attending the public discussion remained
[00:21:24] on the other side of the door and did not succeed, and the
[00:21:27] media also yesterday, why do you think such decisions were made for
[00:21:31] a limited number of participants and without media? I think
[00:21:34] this is actually to control the situation,
[00:21:37] I think that's the only solution. At the very entrance,
[00:21:40] it was requested that mobile phones be left behind,
[00:21:44] however, I cannot shake the impression, as someone who
[00:21:47] who, uh, there were people who had those... phones and
[00:21:50] there was a possibility to bring a phone in a bag, I mean,
[00:21:54] it wasn't that rigid, it was insisted as if
[00:21:57] everything, we stated that in our statement, it somewhat
[00:22:00] had a reality show character, the very duration of the public discussion of five
[00:22:04] hours, five hours, uh, does not indicate the fact that there
[00:22:07] were also elements that do not contain or should not contain such
[00:22:11] a tribune, where we had to be
[00:22:15] quite serious. Our goal was for this tribune to happen so that
[00:22:19] the public would express itself on all this, because this is not
[00:22:22] just a law that partially applies to teachers, but to the entire
[00:22:26] context of the education system in Serbia. What was the most
[00:22:29] focused on in those five hours, what was most debated,
[00:22:32] what was debated was what these
[00:22:36] amendments are supposed to bring, that is,
[00:22:39] reducing the influence, or reducing the number of members of
[00:22:43] the parent council, uh, restricting or
[00:22:46] or partially prescribing certain associations...
[00:22:50] what rights students have and what
[00:22:53] worries us greatly is the
[00:22:55] question of easily losing a license when it comes
[00:22:59] to teachers. All of this together looks like a rigorous
[00:23:02] measure against all actors in the education
[00:23:05] system, uh the legal
[00:23:08] frameworks themselves, as stated in their legal
[00:23:12] amendments, are quite legally
[00:23:14] undeveloped, which is a surprise for us, because as
[00:23:18] a representative union, we attended
[00:23:20] various discussions when it comes to laws
[00:23:24] and we know that the Ministry of Education has
[00:23:27] a legal team that knows how to formulate it.
[00:23:30] Such broad formulations leave
[00:23:33] room for broad interpretation and must be
[00:23:37] subject to refinement and must be precise. Some
[00:23:40] room has been left for discussion, and here I will mention those
[00:23:44] few parts of the law that are not now quoted
[00:23:47] from the draft, but paraphrased. which
[00:23:50] were mostly perceived as controversial, you mentioned some of them just now,
[00:23:54] so first, uh, so if a professor does not teach
[00:23:58] even after a warning from the director, uh,
[00:24:01] he uh loses his license, which means he can no longer teach
[00:24:05] anywhere, not just that school, uh,
[00:24:07] then reducing the number of parent council members, as you said,
[00:24:11] in elementary schools a maximum of eight, 15 in
[00:24:14] high schools, which means that not all departments have their own representative, mhm,
[00:24:18] uh, then regarding the school board, that
[00:24:22] members who were, for example, nominated by the parent council or
[00:24:25] or the teaching council cannot be removed, which means that there is no
[00:24:28] accountability of board members to those who appointed them, uh
[00:24:32] and uh what you mentioned is that
[00:24:36] students cannot organize certain groups or
[00:24:39] sections if it is not that official student
[00:24:43] parliament, uh in the statement of representative
[00:24:46] trade unions, uh it was stated that besides... about the articles
[00:24:50] of the law in whose amendments they participated, they cannot express
[00:24:53] an opinion because they were not the subject of discussion at meetings with
[00:24:57] the authorities, nor were they considered by trade union bodies. Do
[00:25:00] representative trade unions now, including yours, have a clear
[00:25:04] position on these controversial parts of the amendments? Uh,
[00:25:07] we received the text of the law, that is, the text of the amendments,
[00:25:10] on July 24, and as I told you, we insisted on a public
[00:25:14] discussion precisely because at this time when
[00:25:18] employees are on collective annual leave, I must emphasize that we do not have
[00:25:22] the opportunity to choose when we will be on leave and uh
[00:25:26] the situation is practically complicated to
[00:25:29] get the opinion of our membership. I
[00:25:33] cannot speak on my own behalf, nor can any of us speak on our own
[00:25:36] behalf for a large organization, but I believe and
[00:25:40] know that we will have legal solutions for all these mentioned
[00:25:43] articles that you mentioned, we will have to give
[00:25:46] certain, well, we were aware of that.
[00:25:50] "We have been negotiating with the authorities in the ministry since 2024 regarding
[00:25:54] amendments to the law, where we are actually trying to fundamentally
[00:25:57] reduce administration, not to change all of this that is stated
[00:26:01] in this." With these changes, however,
[00:26:05] just to clarify, we cannot reduce administration because it
[00:26:09] de facto turns out that there is not enough money to change the e-diary, so
[00:26:13] we then have to write all those countless papers in the 21st century when
[00:26:16] we have artificial intelligence, we have a story about
[00:26:20] digitalization that has advanced, on the other
[00:26:23] hand, we get some solutions where, for example, we, as teachers,
[00:26:27] can lose our license on a very arbitrary basis, and what does that
[00:26:30] mean now, how would the license be lost? Well, the previous law also
[00:26:34] stipulated the possibility for a teacher to lose their license if they committed a serious
[00:26:37] breach of work duties, and it was enumerated what could be lost
[00:26:41] based on what license. Now those
[00:26:44] articles that refer to what a teacher can
[00:26:47] do wrong to lose their license have been deleted, and a
[00:26:51] broad formulation has been left which, as such, certainly cannot remain,
[00:26:54] and it must, that is the detail where the
[00:26:58] ministry, i.e. representatives of the ministry, confirmed yesterday that there
[00:27:01] are elements where this needs to be specified, i.e.
[00:27:05] we must return it to some real legal
[00:27:08] frameworks, not to remain as it is, because this leaves
[00:27:12] a very great insecurity for every teacher, what does that mean,
[00:27:15] if, for example, a teacher does not
[00:27:18] perform supplementary or additional, nor performs educational work, it doesn't have to be
[00:27:22] something terrible, so this is brought down to a very low
[00:27:26] level where we become dependent on the director's assessment of
[00:27:30] whether he is ready, whether he... considers that we are performing the educational
[00:27:34] process or not, not to mention some other
[00:27:37] rights we have, I hope this is not what
[00:27:41] is interpreted, it is the need to prevent
[00:27:45] employees in schools from having the right to strike,
[00:27:48] uh, I must say that today it is not easy to be
[00:27:51] a school principal, however, I must admit that people of a very
[00:27:55] specific character agree today to be school
[00:27:58] principals, because they find themselves in a subordinate position in relation to
[00:28:02] representatives of the ministry, i.e. representatives
[00:28:05] of the state who are very aggressively
[00:28:07] trying to show all of us who work in schools that she
[00:28:11] is the one who is the owner, she manages
[00:28:15] schools, that doctrine will not
[00:28:17] lead us to solve
[00:28:20] the accumulated problems we have. Uh, I will quote
[00:28:24] the Minister of Education yesterday after the meeting and what
[00:28:28] he stated, he
[00:28:30] says that
[00:28:33] the draft law will be able to improve the situation in the educational system,
[00:28:36] make it functional, he says to thwart any
[00:28:40] intention to abuse that system primarily
[00:28:43] for political purposes, he says we must bear in mind that
[00:28:46] experience, we must defend the educational system, if someone tries
[00:28:50] to abuse it in that context, some things are perhaps stricter and
[00:28:54] more precisely defined, but he says that this was not done in the context
[00:28:57] of endangering the rights of children, parents and so on, did
[00:29:01] the minister hereby acknowledge what the real goal of these changes is, that
[00:29:05] it refers to what happened in the past two years, to the rebellion, to
[00:29:09] strikes, to class suspensions, to the activation of high
[00:29:12] school students themselves in protests, but
[00:29:15] also teachers, well yes, it actually is, you yourself
[00:29:18] said, the whole story related to these
[00:29:21] changes in certain parts is to
[00:29:24] prevent such a situation from happening
[00:29:27] again, however,
[00:29:29] the minister said a lot
[00:29:33] yesterday, I must emphasize one more thing, we cannot shake
[00:29:36] off the impression, we stated this in the announcement, that this yesterday looked somewhat like
[00:29:40] a reality show, with a lot of aggression on one side and the other,
[00:29:44] verbal affectation
[00:29:48] similarly without regard for very
[00:29:51] important things that actually a framework law
[00:29:56] a moment in which we actually have to negotiate with representatives, we need to
[00:30:00] negotiate with government representatives about
[00:30:02] the earnings of employees, about the quality of what education is,
[00:30:06] because it is not impolite to talk even about salary at a time
[00:30:09] when our salary is below the national
[00:30:12] average, what kind of people will you have, you will tie
[00:30:16] their hands with the fact that they will be evaluated by a director who is directly
[00:30:20] appointed by the authorities, so the minister, that has always been the case,
[00:30:24] but not like this, not in this way, not so broadly,
[00:30:27] do you think that such a draft law endangers teachers,
[00:30:31] union members. If these provisions are not
[00:30:34] specified, especially this part concerning the loss of
[00:30:37] license, it leaves us on a very broad and very
[00:30:41] unfounded basis, if it is not changed, would you
[00:30:44] agree to such a law? No, no, no, we cannot
[00:30:47] agree to this part in any way, we cannot agree to such,
[00:30:51] so written, so written amendments to the law, we
[00:30:55] also stated that the legal team will shape how that actually...
