[00:00:19] Good afternoon, I am Filip Lukić, these are the most important
[00:00:22] news.
[00:00:27] Zelensky on his first official visit to Serbia. Meetings
[00:00:30] concluded, memorandum signed. European path
[00:00:33] and enhancement of cooperation, main
[00:00:35] topics.
[00:00:39] In Serbia today, six open fires, the most difficult
[00:00:43] situation in Deliblatska Peščara where the fire spread
[00:00:46] to 1.5 hectares. Wind is causing major
[00:00:49] problems.
[00:00:52] In Russian attacks in the area near Kyiv, at least three people
[00:00:56] died, including one child. Ukrainian army.
[00:01:00] attacked two Russian
[00:01:01] refineries.
[00:01:07] The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, is on his first official
[00:01:10] visit to Serbia, and the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, welcomed
[00:01:14] the Ukrainian president in front of the Palace of Serbia. A bilateral
[00:01:17] meeting of the two presidents followed, where
[00:01:21] the topics were European integration, economic and
[00:01:24] energy cooperation. Serbia and Ukraine today signed a memorandum
[00:01:27] of understanding in Belgrade in the field of agriculture.
[00:01:32] Addressing the media after signing the memorandum,
[00:01:35] President Vučić stated that Ukraine is a friendly
[00:01:38] country, and that it was his pleasure to have had the opportunity to host
[00:01:41] Zelensky. Although they talked for a long time about European
[00:01:45] integration and the path to the European Union, the two
[00:01:48] presidents do not have the same views on the speed and outcome of
[00:01:52] that process.
[00:01:54] Ukraine wants to open all clusters as quickly as possible.
[00:01:57] Ukraine wants "fast
[00:02:00] membership in the European
[00:02:02] Union.
[00:02:06] I told President Zelensky
[00:02:08] that
[00:02:10] I understand all of that, and I also understand that kind of
[00:02:13] enthusiasm,
[00:02:16] but that as President of Serbia, as someone who is a political veteran, I do not see at this
[00:02:20] moment the possibility, first of all for Serbia, I am not
[00:02:23] talking about Ukraine, so first of all for Serbia
[00:02:26] to soon become a member of the European Union." "for
[00:02:30] numerous political reasons, I
[00:02:32] fully stand behind what I wrote together
[00:02:36] with the Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, I
[00:02:40] think that it is also for our region, I told
[00:02:43] President Zelensky that I think it would be important and good, even for
[00:02:47] Ukraine, Moldova and
[00:02:50] other, as it is called, Eastern
[00:02:52] countries, and I think that is the reality, I don't believe
[00:02:56] that to be completely honest." "that
[00:03:00] all Europeans will be benevolent towards
[00:03:04] Ukrainian membership, as you can see,
[00:03:07] I am talking about it openly, no, they always
[00:03:10] find someone, for us they will find some
[00:03:14] Croats, Bulgarians, Dutch, anyone,
[00:03:16] for Ukrainians they will find others, but I don't
[00:03:20] see at this moment the possibility for
[00:03:23] that to be realistically implemented in practice, regardless
[00:03:26] of that, I understood all the hopes." President
[00:03:30] Zelensky, I wish Ukraine all the best, and as far as we
[00:03:34] are concerned, we as a country will never cause a problem,
[00:03:37] we will never say, first accept us, we started earlier,
[00:03:41] don't take Ukraine,
[00:03:44] stay tuned to N1 program. Thank you for your attention. Ukraine will never have such a problem, at least with
[00:03:47] a small country like Serbia.
[00:03:49] Srbija.
[00:03:54] It's not
[00:03:58] only reality, but enthusiasm
[00:04:02] is at stake when choosing the direction towards
[00:04:04] the European Union. I understand the skepticism, Aleksandar's
[00:04:08] skepticism that he shared with me yesterday quite in detail,
[00:04:12] Ukraine has no time for
[00:04:15] skepticism, we are
[00:04:18] at war.
[00:04:22] We understand and comprehend what Ukraine must be in the future,
[00:04:25] first is the path that we have chosen, which the people
[00:04:29] have chosen, this is unity between
[00:04:32] the state and the people,
[00:04:35] unity between institutions, the private
[00:04:37] sector,
[00:04:39] which allows us not only to move everything forward, so
[00:04:43] that people can be full members of the European
[00:04:46] Union, and this unity
[00:04:50] gives us strength,
[00:04:52] although many other leaders told me that we would not get candidate status and so
[00:04:56] on and so forth, and despite all of that.
[00:05:00] "We got that status, I fight for it every
[00:05:04] day, and sometimes it can
[00:05:07] seem so far away
[00:05:10] and unattainable, but we
[00:05:13] are achieving
[00:05:16] those dreams, there is unity in our
[00:05:19] country, we must not
[00:05:23] destroy that unity,
[00:05:27] there is unity in the European Union on many issues, not only on the issue
[00:05:30] of war,
[00:05:33] and they also have some of their own internal
[00:05:36] issues, when elections happen, some changes,
[00:05:40] many, many questions. need to be balanced
[00:05:43] and
[00:05:47] and how we would
[00:05:50] do it so that we can open all that we want, but we must be
[00:05:53] convinced and I am convinced that we can
[00:05:56] do it, no matter what is ahead
[00:05:59] of us.
[00:06:01] Zelensky's visit is a slap to Russia on a symbolic level, given
[00:06:05] that Serbia is one of the few, conditionally speaking,
[00:06:08] pro-Russian countries in Europe, former diplomat Duško Lopandić
[00:06:12] told N1. I think that the
[00:06:16] results will primarily be symbolic in nature, so I don't
[00:06:20] believe that now some big
[00:06:23] agreements, especially of this type which relates
[00:06:26] to military cooperation, can be
[00:06:30] agreed upon, but it is certainly a shift
[00:06:33] of Belgrade towards, as I said,
[00:06:36] primarily towards Berlin, Brussels,
[00:06:38] in fact, signals for which then...
[00:06:42] "Vučić expects some reward, right,
[00:06:45] in the foreseeable future, and that
[00:06:49] will be the primary effect, I think,
[00:06:52] of this visit, but
[00:06:56] I would say that Serbia is not in a position to
[00:06:59] completely take one side
[00:07:02] or the other. About how Zelensky's
[00:07:05] visit to Belgrade and the announcement of drone production
[00:07:09] in Serbia, which is sorely needed by Ukraine in the war
[00:07:12] with Russia, could affect Serbian-Russian relations,
[00:07:16] Marko Savković from the ISAC Fund spoke to N1:
[00:07:19] Serbia still counts on
[00:07:22] maintaining a relationship with Russia,
[00:07:25] I think that is no longer a partnership
[00:07:28] relationship, nor is it
[00:07:31] an alliance. Interests with Russia coincide on
[00:07:34] several issues, but now the maneuvering space
[00:07:38] has also narrowed considerably, after Zelensky is proof of that.
[00:07:42] because it might not have happened a year or two ago,
[00:07:46] but now it has happened and Russia's ability to
[00:07:50] punish Serbia for hosting
[00:07:54] Zelensky is now, I would say, very, very
[00:07:57] limited.
[00:08:02] Next, about the fires in Deliblatska Peščara, the fourth
[00:08:05] day of fighting the fire element is led by members of the Sector for
[00:08:09] Emergency Situations, members of volunteer fire brigades.
[00:08:13] The army, as well as citizens. Traffic on the Gaj
[00:08:16] Šumarak section has been suspended due to the fire in Deliblatska Peščara in
[00:08:20] the settlement of Šumarak. Houses are being defended, and a fire break of about
[00:08:23] 2,000 meters has been created. The situation is very difficult, stated
[00:08:27] the head of the Sector for Emergency
[00:08:29] Situations.
[00:08:32] Nenad Nešić is in Deliblatska Peščara, monitoring the situation
[00:08:36] on the ground. Nenad, a press conference
[00:08:39] was held by the head of the Sector for Emergency Situations, Luka
[00:08:42] Paušić. We heard him say that the situation is difficult. What
[00:08:46] are the forecasts, what is happening on the ground at this
[00:08:49] moment?
[00:08:53] That's right, Filip, in those very words, the situation is difficult and uncertain,
[00:08:56] and at this moment there is really no precise forecast
[00:09:00] as to when this fire in the settlement of Šumarak could
[00:09:04] be brought under control. So no
[00:09:08] close forecast, but it is said that this could really
[00:09:11] last the words of Luka Čaušić, the head
[00:09:15] of the Sector for Emergency Situations. I can testify to that from my position,
[00:09:19] Filip, we are currently in the very settlement of Šumarak,
[00:09:22] approximately 200 or 300 meters, here to my left,
[00:09:26] uphill is the first large fire, and
[00:09:29] indeed, we are surrounded by a lot of smoke, so the unpleasant smell
[00:09:33] of smoke, soot can be seen, so everywhere, everything is gray,
[00:09:37] at one point, even when the fire, or rather when the smoke rose into the sky,
[00:09:40] you could look at the sun without glasses, that's how covered the
[00:09:44] sky was with that gray
[00:09:47] color, and indeed, in a way,
[00:09:50] we are witnessing, even though we are at a safe distance, that
[00:09:54] the fires are still raging, I can freely
[00:09:57] say, in this part of Deliblatska Peščara. As for the
[00:10:01] Sector for Emergency Situations, as they say, at this moment there is no
[00:10:05] danger to people, so all of them have been evacuated from
[00:10:08] this area. Houses are being defended by the Sector for Emergency Situations.
[00:10:12] They claim that so far not a single building has burned
[00:10:16] in the fire. As they say, last night, the fire did reach the yards
[00:10:19] of some houses, but they reacted immediately and for
[00:10:23] now they have prevented, at least according to them, any house from burning
[00:10:26] in this area. As for the operation itself,
[00:10:30] four helicopters are constantly in the air, we are witnessing this, so
[00:10:34] we have been in this position for about several hours,
[00:10:37] three MUP helicopters and one military helicopter.
[00:10:41] Around 300 people are currently
[00:10:44] fighting the fire, we also asked if more
[00:10:47] helicopters are needed, if more people are needed, from the Sector for Emergency Situations they say that this is
[00:10:51] the correct or optimal number, that any more
[00:10:55] than that would actually pose a risk, that at this moment
[00:10:59] this is the best number of people and the best number of helicopters that can
[00:11:03] deal with this fire. In the meantime,
[00:11:07] they are also making so-called, as you said, fire
[00:11:10] breaks, or in a way, to be simpler, trenches
[00:11:14] through Deliblatska Peščara, so through the forest and through low
[00:11:17] vegetation, they are about
[00:11:21] 50 meters wide, and the idea is to use construction machinery
[00:11:25] to somehow surround this fire that is spreading
[00:11:28] and in that way bring it under control. Then the question is again how long
[00:11:32] its extinguishing will last, because the key message is at
[00:11:36] this moment that the wind is what is causing the most problems and that
[00:11:39] the situation actually changes from minute to minute. Here, people
[00:11:43] in this area where we are at this moment, there is no one from the Sector for
[00:11:47] Emergency Situations, they again appeal to people to simply
[00:11:50] listen to their appeals not to approach the fire and that
[00:11:53] the firefighters and rescuers are there to defend
[00:11:57] the property of people who have cottages, as well as houses, in this
[00:12:01] place. They say that there are, of course, people who, of course, it is completely understandable, cannot
[00:12:05] leave their homes, but, well, I repeat,
[00:12:08] according to the Sector for Emergency Situations, at this moment all
[00:12:12] those who were most at risk have been evacuated, and all people are safe
[00:12:16] at this moment. I suggest that right now, of course, we cannot show
[00:12:20] this with our camera, but you can hear, Filip, that helicopters are flying
[00:12:23] above my head. I said, once again, there are
[00:12:26] four of them in total. Water is being brought from
[00:12:30] the Danube to extinguish the fire at this location. I suggest we hear what the head of the Sector for
[00:12:34] Emergency Situations said at the conference held about an hour
[00:12:36] ago. We are currently here in
[00:12:39] the Šumarak settlement, which we are intensely defending, so we are defending
[00:12:43] the houses right behind these
[00:12:46] residential buildings. Here there is a huge fire break that we made,
[00:12:50] over 50 meters in length,
[00:12:52] 1,700, maybe even 2,000
[00:12:55] meters. However, the wind is so strong, the conditions are so
[00:12:59] unfavorable when it comes to the development of this
[00:13:02] fire that this fight will be difficult and uncertain, and
[00:13:06] we have literally applied all known tactical
[00:13:09] actions here, so here
[00:13:12] due to the configuration of the terrain,
[00:13:15] due to strong winds, the only thing we can do
[00:13:19] is to surround the fire with fire breaks,
[00:13:22] as we said. As I said,
[00:13:25] we have 29, 30 large working
[00:13:29] machines, and we will try to contain it
[00:13:32] in that way, and this will certainly take time,
[00:13:36] this cannot be finished quickly. Our priority is that no one gets hurt, to
[00:13:40] try to protect the houses of several settlements, here of course then
[00:13:43] the most valuable forest, then everything else that is
[00:13:47] in this truly natural
[00:13:49] gem.
[00:13:53] Filip, to conclude, this is the most endangered point
[00:13:56] at this moment in Serbia, along with Stolovi near Kraljevo,
[00:14:00] but they say that here the fire is causing the biggest
[00:14:04] problems and they announce that the settlement of Šušara, which is located
[00:14:07] not far from Šumarak, could potentially be threatened, but at
[00:14:11] this moment there are no such forecasts that the fire could spread
[00:14:15] that far in that direction. Among other things, journalists were interested
[00:14:19] in the question of the cause of the fire here, in Deliblatska Peščara,
[00:14:23] and throughout Serbia, however. As for the head of the Sector for Emergency
[00:14:26] Situations, he said that everything will be thoroughly analyzed, but
[00:14:30] that first and foremost, the fires must be brought under control, and then
[00:14:34] that deeper analysis will be done. He did not want to speculate
[00:14:37] how this happened.
[00:14:40] Filip, thank you, Nenad, for all this
[00:14:43] information. Nenad Nešić is following the situation regarding
[00:14:47] the fires in Deliblatska Peščara.
[00:14:50] And the residents of the settlements of Šumarak and Čardak are actively collecting aid
[00:14:53] for firefighters and all people involved in extinguishing the fire
[00:14:57] in Deliblatska Peščara. All who want to help can contact
[00:15:00] the organization Kovin Humano Srce. The action to collect
[00:15:03] aid was also called for today by students of the Faculty of Medicine and
[00:15:07] Dentistry in Belgrade, the Faculty of Philosophy in
[00:15:10] Novi Sad and Niš. Aid can be brought to the premises
[00:15:14] of the Red Cross in
[00:15:15] Kuršumlija.
[00:15:18] Official information from the municipal emergency headquarters
[00:15:21] that citizen assistance is no longer needed, which I would not agree with
[00:15:25] because I was in Šumarak last night and all day yesterday, where
[00:15:28] access was possible. It is necessary for people to
[00:15:32] bring frozen water, frozen juices, drinks, if
[00:15:36] possible or at least okay, canned food is also welcome.
[00:15:40] So that is all for the firefighters, people who are residents there and do not have other
[00:15:43] access to food and water currently. Last night at some
[00:15:46] point electricity was also cut off there due to prevention from further spread
[00:15:50] of the fire. The situation literally changes minute
[00:15:53] by minute and that is all I can say for
[00:15:55] now.
[00:16:01] In Priština, the second attempt to hold
[00:16:04] the constitutive session of the new convocation of the assembly failed,
[00:16:08] because the MP of the Alliance for the Future, Simkadri, threw eggs at Albin
[00:16:11] Kurti. When Kurti again asked for additional time for
[00:16:15] consultations, the MP of the Alliance threw eggs at him. This led to
[00:16:19] the suspension of the session and the entry of Kurti's bodyguards into
[00:16:22] the hall. Presiding officer Avni De Hari announced that the
[00:16:25] MPs would be informed later when the session would
[00:16:29] continue.
[00:16:33] The Integrity Network of the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy
[00:16:36] postponed a public forum planned for August 13th in
[00:16:40] Valjevo, on the anniversary of the police action in
[00:16:43] that city, after none of the contacted institutions
[00:16:47] agreed to provide space for its
[00:16:49] holding. The same applied to private entities, according to that
[00:16:53] organization. The Integrity Network estimates that the
[00:16:56] prevention of organizing a public event is another
[00:17:00] indicator of the degree of state capture and
[00:17:03] of society as a whole. They call on the competent institutions, including
[00:17:06] the city of Valjevo, to enable the holding
[00:17:09] of the forum in one of the public spaces as soon as possible, and no later than
[00:17:13] Monday, August 10th. At the same time, they also called on private
[00:17:17] entities to make decisions about providing space
[00:17:20] without fear of political or any other
[00:17:23] pressures.
[00:17:29] World. At least three people, including one child, were killed
[00:17:33] last night in Russian attacks near the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.
[00:17:37] This is reported by the BBC, citing
[00:17:40] local officials. Rockets hit the area
[00:17:44] east of the capital early this morning. Moscow announced that it had hit
[00:17:47] a flamingo missile factory, a fuel and lubricant warehouse.
[00:17:51] Two ships were also hit while sailing at sea south and
[00:17:54] east of Odesa. On the other hand, the General Staff of Ukraine
[00:17:58] confirmed that refineries in the Krasnodar
[00:18:01] region and Samara Oblast in
[00:18:03] Russia were hit.
[00:18:12] At the Batrovci border crossing, as of this morning, when leaving
[00:18:15] Serbia, there is a wait of about four hours, while at the Šid crossing, there is a wait of about
[00:18:19] two hours, announced the Auto Moto Association of Serbia. At the
[00:18:23] Neštin and Horgoš crossings, delays are about an hour.
[00:18:26] On roads in Serbia today, increased
[00:18:29] traffic intensity is expected, and the auto moto association warns that
[00:18:33] variable weather conditions can make travel difficult.
[00:18:36] Some vehicles are also moving in columns, and everything is made more difficult by
[00:18:40] very high temperatures. There are no
[00:18:43] delays at the toll booths.
[00:18:47] Today is warm and muggy, let's see what weather awaits us tomorrow.
[00:19:18] That's all for this news overview,
[00:26:09] Games are
[00:26:10] law.
[00:26:13] Games are law, welcome to Novi Sad, today we
[00:26:17] are socializing and meeting new friends, today we are not
[00:26:20] competing, but we came to cheer for our friends, register

[00:26:27] they help you be healthy
[00:26:30] so you never give up, and what else? Games are
[00:26:34] law.
[00:26:37] In Novi Sad, at the ceremonial opening Powered by
[00:26:40] Gorenje, the 13th season of Plasma Sports Games
[00:26:44] of Youth in Serbia began. Numerous children
[00:26:46] and famous personalities gathered to support young
[00:26:49] SIM participants, and what do they say? Games are
[00:26:53] law, well it's very nice here and there are
[00:26:57] many people and children. We came from Apatin and we really like
[00:27:00] the atmosphere and everything. "It's a lot of fun and we hope
[00:27:04] that we will invite some new friends and have a great time, it's very
[00:27:08] nice here to hang out with friends, you make a lot of friends,
[00:27:12] you win games and so on."
[00:27:15] The ceremonial opening was enhanced by House animators,
[00:27:18] influencer and streetball master Triki, as well as the popular
[00:27:22] rap group THCF. When you were little, you watched
[00:27:25] basketball, you watched gold on the court, you watched the brave,
[00:27:29] you took a three-pointer, you got the ball, you scored a basket." He said,
[00:27:33] "Shoot more, more!" He said I wasn't bad, I told myself, "Train
[00:27:36] more!" Play and win, finally
[00:27:39] come back, bring home to
[00:27:42] be called, Serbia waits, until
[00:27:46] our country is

[00:27:53] The ceremonial opening was attended by representatives of religious
[00:27:56] community, partners and sponsors of the event, management
[00:27:59] of basketball and football clubs, as well as many famous
[00:28:03] influential personalities, the city of Novi Sad, partner of the ceremonial
[00:28:06] opening, also provided support to young Simonovci, here is what the mayor of
[00:28:10] Novi Sad said on that occasion. The uniqueness
[00:28:14] of this event, which clearly shows year after
[00:28:17] year that young people from this area can socialize and
[00:28:21] compete in a sporting
[00:28:24] spirit. The real strength lies in the fact that children
[00:28:28] from the region connect, learn about the values of unity and
[00:28:32] build the foundations of a secure
[00:28:35] future. I wish you to grow into great
[00:28:38] athletes, carrying fair play in your heart, proudly
[00:28:41] representing the cities from which you come. The torch of friendship
[00:28:44] was carried by Dušan Domović Bulut, one of the best

[00:28:50] Let's light the torch and say that the
[00:28:54] youth sports games are open.
[00:28:56] Bravo!
[00:28:59] By lighting the flame of friendship, the games were ceremonially
[00:29:02] opened, says the president of the games, Mr. Zdravko
[00:29:06] Marić. Well, in any case, I am very satisfied, with the
[00:29:09] games in Serbia, for all these 13 years, I want to take
[00:29:13] this opportunity to praise the Plasma Youth Sports Games team in
[00:29:16] Serbia, led by Marija Mihajlović, because year after year
[00:29:20] the games are getting bigger, they are more recognizable by both
[00:29:23] children and local self-governments, cities,
[00:29:27] small towns, villages, so I hope that in the future
[00:29:30] it will be even bigger and bigger because
[00:29:33] children are the true pledge to the games and thank God, so far it
[00:29:37] has happened that they are the biggest advertisement and that is why they come in increasing
[00:29:40] numbers year after year. We are proud that we are part of such a big
[00:29:44] story, we are proud that it lasts, grows
[00:29:48] every year brings new smiles, new
[00:29:52] memories to remember. The game teaches us that everyone
[00:29:55] is equal on the field. That is why Plasma
[00:29:59] Youth Sports Games believe
[00:30:01] and celebrate that every child has the right to sports,
[00:30:05] regardless of gender, inclination or
[00:30:08] ability. In Novi Sad, young Simovci competed
