[00:00:19] Good afternoon, N1 Info begins, I am Tanja [00:00:20] Veselinović, these are the most important [00:00:22] news. [00:00:27] Director Stevan Filipović beaten in the center of Belgrade. He claims that [00:00:31] he was attacked by mercenaries of the ruling party, the prosecutor's office launched [00:00:34] an investigation, [00:00:39] the peak of the heatwave in Serbia, fires in several [00:00:42] locations, burning in Ibarska Klisura in [00:00:45] Deliblatska Peščara. Due to the fire at the landfill in Bačka [00:00:48] Palanka, a state of emergency has been declared. [00:00:50] situacija. [00:00:53] Due to drought, electricity saving measures in Romania [00:00:57] and Hungary, Romania declared a state of emergency, [00:01:00] Slovenian nuclear power plant reduced [00:01:02] production, [00:01:08] director Stevan Filipović was attacked last night in the center of Belgrade at [00:01:12] the corner of Makedonska and Nušićeva, as he states, he [00:01:15] was physically attacked by five people who knocked him to the [00:01:18] ground, beat him with their feet and chairs on the head [00:01:22] and stole his mobile phone. [00:01:25] A group of supporters, members, [00:01:28] mercenaries, ruling [00:01:30] party for the hundredth time or I don't know how many times [00:01:34] demolished a protected building, a cultural and historical [00:01:37] monument at the corner of Makedonska and [00:01:40] Nušićeva, I photographed some of [00:01:43] them, uh, not a few [00:01:45] minutes passed, a guy of 100 kg [00:01:49] in a gray T-shirt attacked me, stole my mobile [00:01:52] phone, I tried to take the mobile phone, then five of them came [00:01:56] and in front of cameras and 15 [00:01:58] people who... how many of us were in line in front of the Leskovac restaurant [00:02:02] in Makedonska street, they [00:02:05] fought me to the floor, then they started kicking me, then they took [00:02:08] a metal chair where they were sitting and started hitting me with [00:02:12] that chair, I lost consciousness, came [00:02:16] to consciousness, uh, people who were standing under, in front [00:02:20] helped me, gave me a phone to record, uh, well [00:02:24] I have a staple on my leg, I have [00:02:27] a hematoma on my hip, I have... A concussion. [00:02:30] The First Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in [00:02:34] Belgrade has launched an investigation into the attack on Filipović. [00:02:37] As announced for Nova RS, the duty public prosecutor of the First [00:02:41] Basic Public Prosecutor's Office was informed during the night [00:02:44] about the event, after which all necessary actions [00:02:47] were ordered to be taken to shed light on the [00:02:50] case. [00:02:53] Reacting to the beating of professor and director Stevan [00:02:56] Filipović, the president of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić stated that he... [00:03:00] followed his, I quote, conflicts with other [00:03:02] blockaders, that he condemns violence and hopes that the [00:03:06] perpetrators will be caught [00:03:08] and punished. Unfortunately, I must tell the citizens, [00:03:12] I would never answer to Sali, but [00:03:16] I want the citizens to notice something. You never [00:03:19] asked any of those who called for violence [00:03:22] if they were sorry? And as you saw, you got a very [00:03:26] clear answer from me, clear and precise condemning. [00:03:32] was in flames, I appeal to the "You never asked yourselves, nor did we hear from you, nor from those whom you instigated and [00:03:35] incited to unrest and riots from Valjevo to Belgrade [00:03:39] to say sorry for the seriously injured man in front of the [00:03:42] National Assembly, shot twice, Mr. Bogdanović, which is of course a much more serious [00:03:46] case, but that is [00:03:50] the difference between me, not only as the president of [00:03:53] the republic, but someone who has to care for all citizens [00:03:56] and those who would push us into fratricidal [00:04:00] conflicts, so, yes, [00:04:03] I strongly condemn all kinds of violence and hope that [00:04:06] the perpetrators will be found and adequately [00:04:09] punished." The attack on director Stevan [00:04:12] Filipović was condemned by some opposition parties and [00:04:16] demanded immediate prosecution of the attackers. The Freedom and Justice Party [00:04:20] assesses that the attack on Filipović represents another [00:04:23] confirmation that violence in Serbia is out of control [00:04:26] and that society is entering a very dangerous period. [00:04:30] The Social Democrats of Vojvodina sharply condemn what they call [00:04:33] a fascist attack. The Movement of Free Citizens states that the [00:04:36] attack on Filipović is an attack on all free-thinking [00:04:40] people, while the Democratic Party assesses that such an [00:04:43] attack is an expected consequence of Aleksandar [00:04:46] Vučić's political system, in which dissidents are declared [00:04:50] enemies. The Green-Left Front states that the seriousness [00:04:54] of Filipović's injuries indicates that the perpetrators had no [00:04:58] fear of consequences on... leading to the inaction in [00:05:01] this case clearly answering whether in Belgrade [00:05:05] the police work for criminals, the attack on Filipović [00:05:08] was condemned by many other organizations and associations. [00:05:16] The peak of the heatwave in Serbia is marked by fires in several locations in [00:05:20] the country, burning from Maglič towards the mouth of the [00:05:23] Ibar Gorge, Deliblatska Peščara, a fire [00:05:26] at the landfill in Bačka Palanka, N1 teams are [00:05:30] at critical locations, and the situation in Deliblatska Peščara [00:05:33] was checked by our reporter Jelena Mirković. [00:05:37] The fire that broke out yesterday afternoon in Deliblatska [00:05:41] Peščara and covered 300 hectares of forest has not yet [00:05:44] been localized. The situation on the ground is unknown, as [00:05:48] the police, for security reasons, do not allow anyone involved [00:05:51] in extinguishing the fire to pass beyond the entrance to [00:05:55] the Čardak educational center. The Ministry of Internal Affairs told [00:05:59] N1 that members of the helicopter unit are participating [00:06:02] in extinguishing the fire and that the MUP has engaged three [00:06:06] helicopters. What we recorded on the ground is that the [00:06:09] helicopters are supplied with water from Lake Kraljevac, which [00:06:13] in a way facilitates their work, as we were unofficially told, [00:06:17] given that the lake is close to the area affected by [00:06:20] the fire. More than 30 firefighters as well as [00:06:24] 80 members of the sector for emergency situations are on [00:06:27] the ground, heavy machinery has been engaged to [00:06:30] stop the spread of the fire. It is not yet known when the fire will be [00:06:34] localized, given that the temperature today [00:06:38] is very high. This is not the first fire that has affected [00:06:41] Deliblatska Peščara. During the summer, at the end of July, a [00:06:44] similar situation occurred, when the fire affected slightly less [00:06:48] hectares, as it was then said, about 20 hectares were [00:06:51] under fire, it took the authorities five days to localize [00:06:55] the fire. Jelena Mirković, N1, Deliblatska [00:06:59] Peščara. The large fire that broke out on Wednesday [00:07:03] in several places in the Ibar Gorge in the area from [00:07:06] the town of Ušće to Maglič has still not been extinguished. The fire, [00:07:10] in addition to low vegetation, also affected the pine forest, extinguishing [00:07:14] is further hampered by the inaccessible terrain, reports N1 [00:07:18] reporter Nenad Božović. [00:07:20] It's the second day since the fires broke out in [00:07:24] the most intense are [00:07:26] around the town of Ušće, then about 20 kilometers [00:07:30] downstream of the Ibar. Mostly the right bank of the Ibar is burning, [00:07:34] after vegetation, low [00:07:38] vegetation which was first affected, now the [00:07:41] fire has spread to... coniferous forests, many [00:07:44] firefighters and workers of Srbija Šume are on the ground [00:07:47] trying to create a perimeter to stop the spread [00:07:51] of the fire, however, during the night the wind caused great [00:07:54] problems. What no one knows at this moment [00:07:58] is what could be the cause? [00:08:01] Of course, high temperatures are [00:08:04] what additionally influenced the fire [00:08:07] to spread, but people who live in this [00:08:11] part of it... next to the railway where the fire first [00:08:14] appeared, say that one of the causes could be a train [00:08:18] because, they say, they noticed that it was sparking at the moment [00:08:22] when it was moving towards Ušće, when it came out [00:08:25] carrying flames, from the military [00:08:29] settlement in Kraljevo, everything was [00:08:31] burning up to Ušće, I saw about ten fires on the other side, [00:08:35] that is, the Ibar above the railway, when you go up to a hill, you could see the whole [00:08:38] valley down to Maglič, 30, 40 km, everything was in... smoke and everything [00:08:44] fire services to localize this as soon as possible, [00:08:47] otherwise, it used to happen that fires appeared [00:08:51] in the Ibar Valley, sometimes [00:08:55] the area where coniferous forests burned [00:08:58] was much larger, will [00:09:02] firefighters manage to reduce it now, that is still [00:09:06] uncertain because the weather forecasts are not favorable [00:09:09] because in this part of Serbia no rain is expected, they say [00:09:13] that the next five, six days will be warm with [00:09:16] temperatures ranging between 33 and 35 [00:09:20] degrees and that will additionally make it difficult [00:09:24] to extinguish and localize the fire. Nenad [00:09:26] Božović, N1, Ušće. [00:09:30] Fires in the Knjaževac and Zaječar areas have been localized [00:09:34] after about 200 hectares of [00:09:38] Television of Serbia reported today. Although the fires have been brought under control. [00:09:42] Firefighting teams continue to be on duty in the field due to [00:09:45] the possibility of new outbreaks [00:09:49] and increased wind. Firefighters continue to be on duty [00:09:52] near Leskovac where the fire [00:09:55] has been extinguished. [00:09:57] A state of emergency has been declared in Bačka Palanka due to a fire at [00:10:01] the landfill that has been burning since the night between Tuesday and [00:10:04] Wednesday. Citizens are advised to minimize their outdoor stay, [00:10:07] keep windows and doors closed, ventilate rooms [00:10:11] only when the smoke dissipates and avoid [00:10:15] physical activity outdoors, this particularly [00:10:17] applies to people with respiratory problems. And [00:10:21] what the current situation at the landfill is known by our Ina [00:10:24] Džakula. At the city landfill in Bačka Palanka for [00:10:27] days ago a fire broke out which [00:10:31] is still not extinguished. The fire broke out on the night between Tuesday [00:10:35] and Wednesday around 1:30 AM, after midnight [00:10:38] on the left side of the city landfill on the road to Novi Sad. [00:10:42] Thick smoke covered the city yesterday while firefighters and communal services were [00:10:46] trying to localize the fire which, according to the municipality, flared up [00:10:49] due to unfavorable weather conditions. We as citizens [00:10:53] are really, really... extremely concerned about this [00:10:56] situation, because this is not the first time that this has [00:11:00] happened, so already in May we had a problem with [00:11:03] the burning landfill when a state of emergency was declared in the municipality [00:11:06] of Bačka Palanka, as it is on this occasion [00:11:10] however, the municipal emergency headquarters did not [00:11:13] issue any protection measures and recommendations to citizens [00:11:17] regarding this situation, also [00:11:19] we do not know the position of the Institute for Public [00:11:23] Health of Vojvodina, so... we have no [00:11:27] uh uh we have no [00:11:30] air quality measurements currently, this is [00:11:33] the third fire at the same landfill this year, the previous one was extinguished [00:11:37] for more than a week, so citizens ask if the problem is only [00:11:40] temporarily remedied instead of being permanently solved. The provincial government [00:11:44] allocated 44.2 million dinars for urgent fire [00:11:47] remediation in May. We as citizens have the right to know at all times what our [00:11:50] air is like, what our water is like, what our soil is like. however, the municipality [00:11:54] does not try much about it, there are no programs [00:11:57] actually concerning environmental protection, [00:12:01] even environmental protection reports are questionable, i.e., at least we don't have access to [00:12:04] them. while machines at this moment are working on fire [00:12:08] remediation, a recommendation for citizens, especially pregnant women, [00:12:11] children, elderly people, but also people suffering from [00:12:15] chronic diseases, to [00:12:18] Ina Džakula N1. Bačka [00:12:22] Palanka. The emergency headquarters of the city of Valjevo [00:12:25] today declared a state of emergency in 16 [00:12:29] populated areas due to lack of drinking water. As [00:12:32] announced, the state of emergency was introduced to enable [00:12:36] organized delivery of drinking water, as well as water for [00:12:40] agricultural and sanitary needs of the population in affected [00:12:43] settlements. The city headquarters ordered the city administration of [00:12:46] Valjevo, in accordance with its capabilities, to procure additional [00:12:50] water canisters to increase the capacity for [00:12:53] water distribution to the affected population. [00:12:57] The dismissed chief of the Belgrade police [00:12:59] Veselin Milić filed a criminal [00:13:04] complaint in which he accused the heads of the criminal police [00:13:08] administration of having, as the weekly Radar writes, [00:13:11] framed him in the murder case in Senjak. Radar states that [00:13:14] Milić, through his lawyers, filed a complaint with the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office [00:13:18] in Belgrade, which had previously filed an indictment against [00:13:21] him, claiming that the head of the UKP Marko [00:13:25] Kričak and the head of the service for suppressing crime Boško [00:13:28] Sekulović fabricated evidence and exerted [00:13:32] pressure on witnesses and suspects to adapt [00:13:35] the facts to a preconceived narrative of the [00:13:38] events. In the complaint, Milić states that the prosecution rejected [00:13:41] the most important parts of the criminal complaint filed against him [00:13:45] by Kričak and Sekulović. Let's remember, the [00:13:48] complaint against Milić stated that he was present at the murder [00:13:51] of Nešović on May 12 in the restaurant 27 that [00:13:55] he is accused of aiding the perpetrators after the commission of a criminal [00:13:59] offense, removing evidence, not reporting [00:14:02] the crime. However, the VJT assessed that the evidence, primarily [00:14:05] surveillance camera footage, indicates that Milić was not [00:14:09] in the restaurant at the time of the murder. [00:14:12] A Serbian citizen was arrested last [00:14:14] week in Zagreb on suspicion of [00:14:19] hacking state institutions, the Zagreb daily Jutarnji [00:14:23] List reported. Jutarnji List writes, citing a source [00:14:27] close to the investigation, that initially it seemed that an ordinary [00:14:31] hacker had been arrested, however, later suspicion arose [00:14:34] that the arrested Serbian citizen was connected to the [00:14:38] Serbian security and intelligence agency, [00:14:41] Jutarnji reports and adds that the chief Croatian state prosecutor [00:14:44] Ivan Turudić, on August 3, stated that a [00:14:47] large case was underway. Initially, it was not particularly [00:14:51] promising, as we say, [00:14:54] national security is also involved in the case. It is [00:14:57] being worked on very intensively, Turudić said then. N1 [00:15:01] sent questions regarding this case to the state prosecutor's office and [00:15:05] the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Croatia. [00:15:09] World News: Bucharest and [00:15:16] Budapest have reduced street lighting and completely turned off [00:15:19] decorative lighting in an attempt to save electricity, [00:15:23] which is not available in sufficient quantities due to the low water level of the Danube and [00:15:27] a period of extreme temperatures and drought. Romania [00:15:31] has declared a state of emergency, nuclear power plants in [00:15:34] Hungary and Romania are [00:15:37] operating at reduced capacity because water from [00:15:40] the Danube is used for cooling reactors and the Slovenian [00:15:44] nuclear power plant in Krško has also reduced production, the level of [00:15:48] the Danube is at a historical low in Romania, it is three times [00:15:51] lower than the usual August [00:15:54] average. [00:15:57] Iran and Oman have agreed on geographical coordinates for [00:16:00] the navigational sea route through the Strait of Hormuz, said [00:16:04] the spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Esmail. [00:16:07] Geji also said that the joint statement is in the final [00:16:11] stage of preparation, provided that third parties do not [00:16:14] interfere, the agreement does not mean automatic opening [00:16:18] of the Strait, but that depends on the cessation of American threats and [00:16:21] sanctions, it was announced from Tehran. There is still no agreement [00:16:24] between the US and Iran. US President [00:16:28] Donald Trump previously stated that he would target Iran [00:16:31] if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened soon. Iran [00:16:35] denies direct negotiations with [00:16:38] Washington. [00:16:41] Japan today marks 81 years since the American [00:16:44] nuclear attack on such attack in the history [00:16:48] of mankind. About 50,000 participants from [00:16:51] 123 countries in the region, including [00:16:55] survivors, paid tribute with a minute of silence in the [00:16:58] Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima. The Peace Bell [00:17:01] rang at 8:15 AM local time, the time [00:17:05] the bomb was dropped. In the first six months after the bomb [00:17:09] was dropped, 140,000 people died from the explosion [00:17:13] and radiation. The bomb, weighing about 4 tons, [00:17:16] killed everyone within a radius of 500 meters and [00:17:20] destroyed 90% [00:17:23] black rain of [00:17:26] radioactive particles began to fall. Three days after the bombing [00:17:30] of Hiroshima, the US dropped an atomic bomb on [00:17:33] Nagasaki where about 74,000 people died.

Amidst the debate on [00:25:57] amendments to the law on the fundamentals of the education system, a [00:26:00] forum was held which attracted attention due to the limited [00:26:04] number of participants and the absence of media, while the Ministry of [00:26:07] Education states that the amendments bring an improvement to the system, a part [00:26:11] of the unions warns that certain solutions could [00:26:14] and further tighten the accountability [00:26:18] of teachers. What exactly is changing, what would that mean for education [00:26:21] workers, and what for schools. Our guest for the morning topic is [00:26:25] Snežana Romandić from the Union of Education Workers of Serbia. Ms. [00:26:28] Romandić, good morning and thank you for being here. To [00:26:32] begin, I want to ask you, uh, the forum was, as I said, [00:26:36] closed to the media, bringing in phones was [00:26:39] also forbidden, did you receive any explanation yesterday as to [00:26:43] why that was the case, yesterday a forum was held which [00:26:46] they actually called a public debate, which it [00:26:50] was only to a limited extent, considering that [00:26:53] as someone who has attended various public debates, I was present at [00:26:57] the same, this was completely different, this was more [00:27:00] of an exchange of opinions without concrete [00:27:04] legal frameworks, solutions, ideas, when [00:27:07] we talk about laws, every comma and every period is very important so [00:27:11] that we know how these legal solutions will later be applied. [00:27:14] to proceed, in the very call for this public [00:27:18] forum, public debate, it was written that we apply [00:27:21] individually, which was not the case until now, mostly [00:27:25] organizations would apply, or rather register their [00:27:28] delegates, that the number of those who can [00:27:31] access the public debate will be limited, given [00:27:34] that, uh, the dynamics of the speed [00:27:37] of registration determined it, so some of our members who were [00:27:41] interested in attending the public debate remained on the other side [00:27:45] of the door, they couldn't make it, the media also got up yesterday, why do you think [00:27:49] such decisions were made for a limited number of participants and without [00:27:52] media, I think this is actually to [00:27:55] control the situation, I think that is the only solution, [00:27:58] at the very entrance it was requested to leave my... [00:28:10] and it was possible, I think, to bring a phone in a bag, it was not [00:28:14] so rigid, it was insisted that it was all, we stated that in our statement, it had a somewhat [00:28:18] reality show character, the very duration of the public debate of five [00:28:21] hours, five hours, does not [00:28:24] indicate the fact that there were also elements that do not contain or should [00:28:28] not contain a this kind of [00:28:31] forum, where we had to [00:28:34] be quite serious, our goal was for this forum to happen [00:28:38] so that the public could express itself about [00:28:41] all of this, because this is not just a law that partly concerns teachers, [00:28:45] but the entire context of the educational system in Serbia, what [00:28:49] was most in focus during those five hours, what was most [00:28:52] debated, it was debated about what allegedly [00:28:55] these changes are supposed to bring, that is [00:28:59] reducing influence, or rather reducing the number of [00:29:02] members of the parents' council, uh, restricting or [00:29:06] partially prescribing certain [00:29:08] associations that students have the right to, and what [00:29:12] worries us greatly is [00:29:15] the issue of easily losing a license when it comes [00:29:18] to teachers, all of this together looks like a [00:29:22] rigorous measure towards all actors in the education system, [00:29:26] uh, the legal frameworks [00:29:29] as stated in their legal amendments [00:29:32] are quite legally unprocessed, which is [00:29:36] a surprise for us, because we, as a representative union, [00:29:39] attend various debates when it comes [00:29:42] to laws, and we know that the Ministry of Education [00:29:46] has a legal team that knows how to formulate it, [00:29:50] such broad formulations leave [00:29:53] room for broad interpretation and must [00:29:56] be subject to revisions and must be precise, some [00:30:00] room has been left for this to be discussed. I will mention those [00:30:03] few parts of the law that are not cited [00:30:06] from the draft, but paraphrased, which [00:30:10] were mostly perceived as controversial, you have mentioned some of them now, [00:30:14] so first, uh, so if a professor does not teach even after [00:30:18] the director's warning, [00:30:20] uh, he loses his license, which means he can no longer [00:30:24] teach anywhere, not just that school, [00:30:27] then reducing the number of members of the parents' council, as you said, [00:30:31] in primary schools... a maximum of eight, 15 in [00:30:34] secondary schools, which means that not all classes have their representative, mhm, [00:30:38] uh, then regarding school boards, that [00:30:41] those members who were, for example, proposed by the parents' council or the teachers' [00:30:45] council cannot be replaced, which means that there is no [00:30:48] accountability of board members to those who appointed [00:30:51] them, uh, and uh, what you mentioned [00:30:54] is that students cannot organize certain [00:30:58] groups or...
