[00:00:21] Good evening, you are watching N1 news, I am Filip Lukić, this is the news
[00:00:24] of the day.
[00:00:28] The President of Ukraine on his first official visit to Serbia,
[00:00:32] discussions were held on the European future, a memorandum of cooperation in the field
[00:00:35] of agriculture was also signed, but
[00:00:39] is that all?
[00:00:41] We did not discuss
[00:00:43] any
[00:00:46] military cooperation today.
[00:00:50] We still need more money so that our defense industry can
[00:00:53] produce twice as much as it produces
[00:00:55] today.
[00:00:59] Other... Topics in the news
[00:01:00] tonight.
[00:01:05] The fire in Deliblatska Peščara has spread to
[00:01:09] 1.5 hectares, and the road from Šumarak to Kovin
[00:01:12] is closed for traffic.
[00:01:15] And this will surely last. This cannot be finished quickly.
[00:01:19] Our priority is that no one gets hurt.
[00:01:22] You will get it faster than you think. Much
[00:01:26] faster than you think. Thank you. Both money and everything else. For
[00:01:30] money for aid in rebuilding the house and equipment, Milan
[00:01:34] Matić has been waiting for more than a year after the fire in the village
[00:01:37] Dubavo.
[00:01:40] I expected help, as you know some people received some, some didn't, mostly
[00:01:43] didn't receive it.
[00:01:47] The Danube near Novi Sad has receded to the extent that it has revealed
[00:01:50] something previously unseen.
[00:01:53] Foundations of the Petroljenjska fortress that stood on
[00:01:57] the war island. Tomorrow, variable clouds,
[00:02:02] possible showers in the mountains,
[00:02:05] temperature up to 35
[00:02:07] degrees.
[00:02:12] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has concluded his first
[00:02:15] visit to Serbia, a country that is among the few that have not imposed
[00:02:19] sanctions on Russia, which is considered pro-Russian
[00:02:22] oriented. The focus of the two presidents, at least according to
[00:02:26] what they said to the media, were discussions
[00:02:29] on the European path, economy, energy
[00:02:32] and agriculture. However, was there any talk
[00:02:35] of military cooperation
[00:02:38] behind closed doors? Red carpet, guard and discretely
[00:02:42] decorated city with Ukrainian flags for the first visit of President Volodymyr
[00:02:46] Zelensky, to a country where sympathy for Russia and Vladimir Putin himself is not hidden.
[00:02:50] The fact that before his visit it was mentioned publicly
[00:02:53] that the two countries could discuss joint construction
[00:02:57] of a drone factory is denied by Serbia and
[00:03:00] his host. Perhaps something was left behind closed doors,
[00:03:03] the meeting of the two presidents who already had a formal dinner yesterday, instead
[00:03:07] of the planned 30 minutes, lasted twice as long. We did not
[00:03:11] discuss any
[00:03:15] military cooperation
[00:03:16] today. In today's
[00:03:19] time, what will
[00:03:22] happen
[00:03:24] when the work is finished, that's another matter, and
[00:03:28] as for the killing, I hope the killing
[00:03:32] will stop, we will open a drone factory
[00:03:36] is transferred to more expensive trucks and here in September, but with the Israelis, we are doing it with
[00:03:38] the Israelis. Ukrainians are very successful and have
[00:03:42] many of their own drone factories. We still
[00:03:46] need more money so that our defense industry can
[00:03:49] produce twice as much as it produces today. These are huge sums of money, billions
[00:03:53] of dollars. Today, the President asked me, I shared that with him, I will not
[00:03:57] reveal it to the media today, but Ukraine does not have that much money
[00:04:00] as Russia uses for its war, we will not have it. What we have and what
[00:04:04] we need, we have with the help of other countries. The two presidents did not
[00:04:08] utter the name of Vladimir Putin in their address to the media, but
[00:04:11] a Ukrainian journalist did.
[00:04:14] Mr. President, why does Vladimir Putin want to continue
[00:04:18] this aggression and this war and perhaps you see some signals
[00:04:22] that he is ready for a real negotiating
[00:04:24] process?
[00:04:26] I cannot give serious assessments and assumptions whether the war
[00:04:30] will end soon or not so soon, without a doubt I believe and the entire
[00:04:34] international community, including Serbia, our entire nation would
[00:04:37] like this war to end as soon as possible. A common
[00:04:41] topic for the two countries is membership in the European Union, on that path Kiev and
[00:04:45] Belgrade are not rivals, but
[00:04:46] partners.
[00:04:49] This is not just reality, it is not just enthusiasm in choosing the European Union and
[00:04:52] choosing that path. I understand Aleksandar's skepticism, which he shared
[00:04:56] with me last night in detail. Ukraine simply has no time for skepticism
[00:05:00] or anything else, we are at war, in that war we are defending our
[00:05:03] independence and understanding of what Ukraine should be in
[00:05:07] the future, that is simply a step that the
[00:05:10] state and the people chose together. "We talked
[00:05:13] for a long time, I presented our
[00:05:15] position
[00:05:17] to President Zelensky, I fully understand
[00:05:21] Ukraine's position on this issue. Ukraine
[00:05:24] wants to open all clusters as quickly as possible.
[00:05:28] Ukraine wants quick membership in the European
[00:05:31] Union.
[00:05:35] I told President Zelensky
[00:05:37] that
[00:05:40] I understand all of that, and I understand of course" that kind
[00:05:43] of enthusiasm,
[00:05:45] but as the President of Serbia, as someone who is a political veteran, I do not see at
[00:05:49] this moment the possibility, first of all for Serbia, I was not
[00:05:53] talking about Ukraine, so first of all for Serbia, to soon
[00:05:56] become a member of the European Union for
[00:05:59] numerous political reasons. The plan is to conclude a free trade agreement
[00:06:03] between the two countries by the end of the year. During this visit, a
[00:06:07] memorandum of cooperation in the field of animal health and food safety was signed.
[00:06:10] The sending of humanitarian aid
[00:06:12] to the war-torn Ukrainian people will continue, and
[00:06:16] Serbia is ready to help in the reconstruction of one city. Žana
[00:06:19] Bulajić, N1
[00:06:20] Belgrade.
[00:06:23] How might Brussels react to Zelensky's visit to Belgrade,
[00:06:27] and how might Moscow? What did the former American ambassador say
[00:06:30] before the visit, and what remained in the background of the discussions
[00:06:34] of the two presidents? All about that in Jelena
[00:06:37] Mirković's story.
[00:06:40] The fact that the presidents of Serbia and Ukraine met
[00:06:43] in Belgrade for the first time is a signal of the
[00:06:47] importance of the visit, but also an important signal to Brussels and
[00:06:50] Russia itself, assesses former diplomat Duško
[00:06:53] Lopandić. This is certainly a shift of
[00:06:56] Belgrade towards, as I said, primarily towards
[00:06:59] Berlin, Brussels, in fact, signals
[00:07:02] for which Vučić then expects
[00:07:05] some reward, right,
[00:07:09] in the foreseeable future and that.
[00:07:12] That will be the primary effect, I think
[00:07:16] of this visit, this,
[00:07:18] but I would say that Serbia is not in
[00:07:22] a position to completely side with one or the other,
[00:07:25] that the balancing continues, believes Nikola
[00:07:29] Xavier from the German Council on Foreign Relations. He says
[00:07:33] that because of what was seen in Belgrade and what Aleksandar Vučić
[00:07:36] said, Moscow will not be angry. In the Kremlin there will be no
[00:07:40] negative sentiments towards this, of course they are
[00:07:43] not happy, but that is the policy where
[00:07:47] of course diplomatically always pack
[00:07:50] differences that can be lived with. I think
[00:07:54] that this visit also through this
[00:07:57] press conference clearly
[00:08:00] shows that there was a formal part and an
[00:08:04] informal part, and everything that, everything that
[00:08:07] is essentially delicate was left, that is, it
[00:08:10] was in preliminary discussions during last night's
[00:08:14] extensive dinner, that remains unknown, but
[00:08:18] that is not surprising, assesses former Ukrainian consul in Belgrade,
[00:08:21] Aleksandar Levchenko, because Belgrade, he states, has peculiar
[00:08:25] relations with Moscow, and with Ukraine it should not be mixed
[00:08:29] and it is important that these relations are for
[00:08:32] the interests of our two countries. We have
[00:08:35] much to say about
[00:08:37] our European path, meaning Ukraine and
[00:08:41] Serbia are moving towards joining the European
[00:08:44] Union. This is important and we have somewhat
[00:08:47] similar views on
[00:08:49] negotiations with our European partners and how
[00:08:53] difficult it is to open chapters, and even more difficult to close
[00:08:57] negotiating
[00:09:00] criticized Belgrade for Serbian weapons ending up in
[00:09:04] Ukraine. In an interview with German Faz, former
[00:09:07] US Ambassador to Serbia, Christopher Hill,
[00:09:11] says that he was the mediator between Belgrade
[00:09:14] and Kiev. However, experts say that the claims from
[00:09:17] the mentioned text that Kiev and Belgrade plan to work together on
[00:09:21] drones are for now less likely. I would not rule out
[00:09:25] the possibility that it is possible, I do not know if it will actually happen. Serbia
[00:09:29] previously concluded a contract with an Israeli company regarding
[00:09:33] drone production, but that is certainly a possibility.
[00:09:36] Ukraine has shown impressive resilience, which is why
[00:09:40] Serbia, that is, all Serbs who harbor certain
[00:09:43] Vladimir Putin, should reconsider this.
[00:09:47] Serbia has something that can help Ukraine
[00:09:50] in resisting Russia, but
[00:09:53] the idea that all forces will now somehow
[00:09:57] be brought together, one must still be careful, because
[00:10:00] Serbia still counts on maintaining
[00:10:03] a relationship with Russia,
[00:10:07] I think it has not been a partnership for a long time, but...
[00:10:10] Former Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin does not think so, stating
[00:10:14] to Russian media that Zelensky's visit to Belgrade is not in line with
[00:10:18] the wishes of Serbian citizens and represents the result of pressure
[00:10:21] from Brussels and Europe's revenge. The European
[00:10:25] Union, as he said, due to President Aleksandar
[00:10:28] Vučić's refusal to sign the anti-Russian declaration from
[00:10:32] the Ukraine-Southeast Europe summit held in
[00:10:35] July. Jelena Mirković, N1,
[00:10:38] Belgrade.
[00:10:43] In the continuation of the news, regarding fires in the territory of Serbia, six open
[00:10:47] fires are active, among which four stand out,
[00:10:50] in the village of Šumarak in Deliblatska Peščara, on Mount
[00:10:54] Stolovi in the village of Maglič near Kraljevo, and in the village of
[00:10:57] Gabrovnica near Zaječar. This is stated in the latest report
[00:11:01] submitted to the operational team of the Republican Headquarters for Emergency
[00:11:04] Situations. The situation is most difficult in Deliblatska Peščara, where the
[00:11:07] multi-day fight against the fire continues. However, the data
[00:11:11] available to the Government of Serbia do not match the
[00:11:14] data provided by the Sector for Emergency Situations, which is on
[00:11:18] site. Namely, the government states that about 700
[00:11:22] hectares are burning in Deliblatska Peščara, while the Ministry of Internal Affairs
[00:11:25] states twice as much, 1.5 hectares. The fire today, according to
[00:11:28] information from the field, spread and reached the edge of Deliblatska
[00:11:32] Peščara. The road from Šumarak to Gaj is closed for traffic.
[00:11:36] According to the latest information, the water supply
[00:11:39] to the settlements of Dubovac and Šumarak has been restored
[00:11:43] after the interruption with the help of generators. The Ministry of Internal Affairs claims that
[00:11:46] there is an optimal number of 300 firefighters on the ground,
[00:11:49] while the government speaks of 125. As
[00:11:53] Luka Čaušić, head of the Sector for Emergency
[00:11:56] Situations, said to reporters earlier today, the situation
[00:11:59] is difficult, the wind hinders extinguishing, houses and other property
[00:12:03] are not endangered, say the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
[00:12:05] Right behind
[00:12:07] these residential buildings, here there is
[00:12:11] a huge cross-section that we made over 50 meters,
[00:12:14] with a length of 1,700, maybe even
[00:12:17] 2,000 meters, however, the wind is
[00:12:20] so strong, the conditions are so unfavorable when it comes to
[00:12:24] the development of this fire, that this fight will
[00:12:27] be difficult and uncertain and we have literally applied
[00:12:31] all known tactical actions here, so
[00:12:35] here due to the very terrain configuration,
[00:12:38] due to strong winds, the only thing we can do
[00:12:42] is to surround
[00:12:45] the fire with firebreaks, as I said
[00:12:48] we have 29, 30 large
[00:12:51] working machines and we will try to contain
[00:12:55] it in that way, and this will surely
[00:12:58] last, this cannot be finished quickly, our priority is that no one
[00:13:02] gets hurt, to try to protect the houses of several settlements here, of course
[00:13:06] then the most valuable forest then everything else that
[00:13:10] is in this truly natural
[00:13:12] pearl. Let's go live to
[00:13:16] Deliblatska Peščara, to check the situation, our reporter
[00:13:19] Darko Gligorijević is there. Darko, what is this
[00:13:22] we are watching at this moment? Where are you located,
[00:13:26] is it a new fire?
[00:13:29] Filip, I am currently in the village of Dubovac,
[00:13:33] which is located after the village of Šumar, where I reported from last night,
[00:13:37] this is currently what you are watching, that is,
[00:13:40] so to speak, the very edge of Deliblatska Peščara,
[00:13:44] there are currently several hotspots here, this
[00:13:47] that you are watching is, I would say, perhaps the smallest
[00:13:51] hotspot currently present, otherwise around me
[00:13:53] I assume you can hear them, these are locals who have
[00:13:57] joined the fire-fighting efforts, next to them are members
[00:14:01] of the voluntary fire department, I will now try
[00:14:05] to show you another fire
[00:14:08] that occurred in the meantime while I was waiting for this
[00:14:11] connection, so I don't know how much you can see
[00:14:15] the red flame in the distance, here it is
[00:14:18] quite vivid when you look at it, quite high, that is, of strong
[00:14:22] intensity, this happened literally maybe
[00:14:26] 10 minutes ago, about half an
[00:14:29] hour ago we were from somewhere, we were about halfway
[00:14:32] between Šumarak and Dubovac when we
[00:14:35] saw the fire that suddenly
[00:14:39] started and we came here,
[00:14:41] so what I showed you at the beginning of the broadcast is about
[00:14:45] 5 meters from me, thick black smoke
[00:14:49] is here, it is extremely difficult to breathe,
[00:14:52] so that's it. Darko, what
[00:14:55] do those who are participating in extinguishing these
[00:14:58] fires say about all this? Is there any information
[00:15:02] whether the situation is under control regarding these new
[00:15:05] hotspots, and those we had the opportunity to watch during
[00:15:09] the day?
[00:15:11] Uh, no, uh, I did not receive confirmation from the locals
[00:15:15] at any point that the situation is under control, nor from the members of the voluntary
[00:15:18] fire department. What I had the opportunity to
[00:15:22] see while coming here was the change of shifts
[00:15:26] of both locals and members of the voluntary fire department. A large number of people
[00:15:29] are involved here, everyone is worried, especially
[00:15:33] with the appearance of this
[00:15:36] flame which is in the distance, maybe
[00:15:39] 500 meters from me. Simply no one, in some
[00:15:43] unofficial conversation with them, no one feels either comfortable or safe
[00:15:46] right now. Thank you Darko for these new
[00:15:50] information, of course we will follow throughout the evening, and throughout
[00:15:53] tomorrow the situation in Deliblatska Peščara, as you can
[00:15:57] see, this is how it currently looks in the village of Dubovac.
[00:16:01] Darko Gligorijević, Zoomer reporter, reported to
[00:16:03] the news.
[00:16:06] And residents of the settlements of Peščara, activists are collecting
[00:16:09] aid for firefighters and all people who are involved in extinguishing the fire.
[00:16:13] All who wish to help can contact the organization Kovin
[00:16:16] Humano Srce. The campaign to collect aid was organized today
[00:16:20] by students of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry in Belgrade
[00:16:23] as well as the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad and Niš. During
[00:16:27] the afternoon, students gathered around the student list, as well as
[00:16:30] citizens' assemblies, collected donations in the center of Belgrade in
[00:16:34] Knez Mihajlova street.
[00:16:41] Today we collected a lot of donations in the form of water, food and
[00:16:45] medical supplies for firefighters who are currently on the ground due to the fire in
[00:16:49] Deliblatska Peščara. Thank you to all the people who donated and thank you to our
[00:16:52] firefighters.
[00:16:55] And one year after the big fires in Toplica district, the villages
[00:16:59] are still far from recovering. In Dubovo, although
[00:17:02] promised, the water supply is still
[00:17:05] unresolved and the state has not built a single house. Some received
[00:17:09] money, but Milan Matić, to whom the President of Serbia, Aleksandar
[00:17:12] Vučić, personally said on camera that help would arrive,
[00:17:16] I quote, "faster than he thinks", claims he has not received
[00:17:20] a single dinar to this day. Why? We asked the President's
[00:17:23] press service. "Man in trouble, you will get it faster than
[00:17:27] you think, much faster than you think. Thank you, money and everything
[00:17:30] else." I just showed what all burned in the video and I said
[00:17:34] beekeeping equipment. He said you will get it faster than you think.
[00:17:37] The beekeeping equipment was here, yes, here, that's all
[00:17:41] destroyed, right, everything is destroyed here, meaning the roof
[00:17:44] burned down, everything from the high temperature, the walls
[00:17:48] cracked, it was chaos, we couldn't, I couldn't
[00:17:51] enter, I walked along the road and I kept yelling "the house is burning, put it out!"
[00:17:54] He says we have nothing. He says come
[00:17:58] and find your way or run away. Did you see
[00:18:01] any firefighters come then? Not even one. I called
[00:18:05] and through the
[00:18:08] emergency number, I didn't know the number, but through the emergency number, and he says, "Madam,
[00:18:12] run away," and I said, "I'm not running, I'm in the middle of the fire." When
[00:18:15] Milan Matić was told that his house was burning, approaching his house
[00:18:19] in the village of Dubovo, he saw along the way ten houses
[00:18:22] burning. That is the scene we find today.
[00:18:26] Some received help, they could apply for auxiliary
[00:18:30] facilities, but that was not important to him, because his facility
[00:18:33] is legalized, but not the auxiliary one, but the house for living.
[00:18:36] For help. For its reconstruction, he was officially rejected because he did not
[00:18:40] meet the conditions. They asked for electricity consumption, now they
[00:18:43] calculate household electricity consumption in
[00:18:47] Serbia at 350 kW, 350 kW for them to
[00:18:50] acknowledge that you need help, to come here
[00:18:54] and cook sometimes on the stove, that's all small. And about
[00:18:58] the bees, Glamočić will come to see, can we help with the
[00:19:02] bee equipment, we will try to make up for the house
[00:19:05] within three or four days, but a year
[00:19:09] has passed, that is, 13 months, almost, he has been waiting
[00:19:12] for what the first man of Serbia
[00:19:16] promised him, visiting the burned villages accompanied by many cameras,
[00:19:19] and I never got anything from the state, just so you know, not a single
[00:19:23] dinar. You shouldn't be ashamed of that, you should take it as you will now
[00:19:26] take it, because the state serves to help people in need, it does
[00:19:30] not serve for some to abuse the state, but it serves to help a person in need. You know,
[00:19:33] I expected help, as you know some people received some, some didn't, mostly
[00:19:37] didn't receive it, mhm, so I expected help and I thought I would
[00:19:41] get help, but I was at the Žitorovje municipality
[00:19:44] countless times, I wrote to the ministries from the Žitorađa municipality to which
[00:19:48] the village of Dubovo belongs, there is no answer to several
[00:19:52] inquiries about how and under what conditions and with what
[00:19:55] criteria financial aid was
[00:19:58] distributed in this village. Milan Stojanović, N1
[00:20:02] Dubavo. But the president continues
[00:20:06] to make promises in the campaign in which he has been for weeks,
[00:20:09] despite the visit of the Ukrainian president, he continued the campaign
[00:20:13] today with a visit to Belgiš, from there he
[00:20:15] states, Serbia has the highest growth in Europe, and will hold elections in two
[00:20:19] or three months, until then he remains in the campaign which is such
[00:20:22] that the focus is clearly on villages and smaller places. Students also opted
[00:20:26] for a similar concept with the campaign "Student in
[00:20:30] Every Village", but without media coverage,
[00:20:33] it seems that only Vučić is in every village.
[00:20:41] In less than a month, President Aleksandar Vučić visited
[00:20:45] Jadranska Lešnica, Vladimirovci, Lapovo,
[00:20:47] Drežnik, Banovo Polje, Vasilj, Temska and Gorčince,
[00:20:51] mostly villages not well known to the
[00:20:54] general public. We heard, there will be more children, we can
[00:20:58] also, long live, thank you for your hospitality, it is
[00:21:01] not the first time he visits villages, but it is the first time
[00:21:05] he systematically visits them, bypassing
[00:21:08] cities. What else do you think is important for Babušnica, what do you need
[00:21:12] here in Temska itself? Sometimes he asks
[00:21:15] what is needed, sometimes he sees what is missing, and if
[00:21:18] more than one thing is missing, as it was in Babušnica,
[00:21:22] the president then offers citizens to choose,
[00:21:25] do they want a road, a high school or a sports
[00:21:29] hall? I understood by the applause that this road is
[00:21:32] most important to you,
[00:21:35] my dear, take care, we must
[00:21:38] do all these local streets here through the town,
[00:21:41] we will already go out with machines in the next three days
[00:21:45] to start working, so
[00:21:48] there.
[00:21:51] That's how it goes non-stop, he is followed by some entourage,
[00:21:55] then he sits down and eats, I mean, those are stories, pictures that have been repeating for
[00:21:58] years and it's nothing new. Look what I got for a thousand dinars, I can
[00:22:02] drink, I can drink, but I'm not really hungover. Your pepper is not
[00:22:06] the bell pepper, but the longer one, not domestic, domestic pepper,
[00:22:10] longer. He desperately offers everything the same again, only even
[00:22:13] stronger, because he absolutely has nothing new to offer for years
[00:22:17] now. Ljuba Aličić on the mic.
[00:22:21] Ljuba Aličić, I got
[00:22:22] lost here.
[00:22:26] But it's hard to believe that the president got lost in every single one of these villages.
[00:22:30] In his campaign, students are also in every village, they have been for
[00:22:33] months, only it seems no one is filming them.
[00:22:36] That's why on the table in front of the president
[00:22:40] traditionally, besides gibanica and meze, literally
[00:22:43] and something else, it's not at all
[00:22:46] difficult to be a brilliant strategist and a great statesman
[00:22:50] whom Europe trembles before, when you have all the televisions
[00:22:54] and all the newspapers and all the media and where you are on those
[00:22:57] televisions all day long and have been for the last 15 years,
[00:23:01] well, how can I say, anyone could be a brilliant strategist and a great
[00:23:04] statesman when they have such a media
[00:23:07] infrastructure. He has media that follow
[00:23:10] every magnificent welcome in every village,
[00:23:14] each one is such in its
[00:23:15] own way.
[00:23:23] Please just a little attention, thank
[00:23:25] you, I truly thank you endlessly, and
[00:23:29] I will not forget this day as long as I live, such
[00:23:33] things,
[00:23:37] rarely happen,
[00:23:40] and in fact, literally every time the president
[00:23:43] experiences
[00:23:44] the same.
[00:24:07] The citizens' assembly of Vrbas municipality organized a forum tonight, whose
[00:24:11] guest was the rector of the University of Belgrade, Vladan Đokić.
[00:24:14] They discussed elections, the student movement, and the rector announced
[00:24:17] a new student action. Serbia or
[00:24:20] Mafia, which starts next week, and it is a series
[00:24:24] of civic and student events dedicated to
[00:24:27] issues of security, rule of law and accountability
[00:24:30] of institutions. Rector Đokić states that all nominated candidates
[00:24:34] on the student list will cooperate with experts and adds that
[00:24:38] the government, despite attacks, has not managed to undermine confidence in
[00:24:42] higher education in
[00:24:43] Serbia.
[00:24:46] The university has currently become the main target and the main
[00:24:50] enemy of those in power, the reason is
[00:24:53] clear, it is support for students, and
[00:24:57] what follows, what followed after all those attacks on the university, is a
[00:25:01] completely opposite situation. A week
[00:25:04] or two ago, according to a survey, the institution
[00:25:07] in which Serbian citizens have the most trust is
[00:25:11] the state university, more than the church,
[00:25:15] more than the army, more than the
[00:25:17] police.
[00:25:21] "In the previous eight years, we had a slight decline every
[00:25:24] year in the enrollment of new students at the University of Belgrade,
[00:25:27] this year we have for the first time after eight years
[00:25:30] a rise.
[00:25:36] That rise is certainly not the result of the
[00:25:39] population growing in the previous year, nor
[00:25:43] that the university is not good, but it is the result
[00:25:46] of growing trust in the university.
[00:25:53] In a collision between a freight and passenger train of Croatian
[00:25:56] Railways today in Croatia a total of 20
[00:25:59] people were injured, the cause of the accident an investigation was launched. This is reported by
[00:26:03] Croatian Radio Television. In the collision, six
[00:26:06] people were seriously injured, three of whom are in intensive care. HRT
[00:26:10] reports that the Union of Train Dispatchers of Croatia stated that
[00:26:14] according to unofficial information, the freight train
[00:26:17] passed through a stop signal and then
[00:26:20] hit a passenger train whose driver was seriously
[00:26:23] injured.
[00:26:29] The water level of the Danube near Novi Sad has never been this low.
[00:26:32] The receding water also revealed numerous remains of the
[00:26:35] past, and the N1 team visited by boat
[00:26:39] everything that has emerged from the
[00:26:41] Danube these days.
[00:26:45] The Danube near Novi Sad has fallen so much that what has been hidden
[00:26:48] for decades has begun to emerge from the water. To see what
[00:26:52] the river has left behind, we board a boat with
[00:26:55] Borislav, who practically grew up on the river. And the first thing
[00:26:59] he shows us is what should not have been in the middle of the
[00:27:02] river,
[00:27:05] what are we currently standing on? Well, we are standing on an incredible place, we are standing
[00:27:08] on the remaining foundations of the
[00:27:11] Petroradian fortress which stood on the war island, which was once
[00:27:15] in the middle of the Danube, and simply this has
[00:27:18] never come out in my lifetime that I know of,
[00:27:22] who spent a lot of time on the Danube do not remember such a sight,
[00:27:26] I mean, I've never really seen this, never like this, say those
[00:27:30] who are now investigating the phenomenon at this place. At this place stood the island
[00:27:33] trench built at the end of the 17th century to protect the fortress, but
[00:27:37] the Danube swallowed it over the following centuries. As old
[00:27:41] cadastral maps show, that fortress slowly
[00:27:44] disappeared under the waves of the Danube and completely vanished by the end of the 19th century.
[00:27:48] vanished. Now, thanks to such a low
[00:27:52] water level of the Danube, we are for the first time able to
[00:27:55] see some remains of that
[00:27:58] fortification. And with the receding water, objects from different
[00:28:02] eras have also emerged. From Turkish Austrian pipes to
[00:28:05] cannonballs from the time of the siege, however, while some are researching what the river
[00:28:08] has revealed, others are finding it increasingly difficult to navigate. But here,
[00:28:12] in the last week or so, all traffic has stopped, even
[00:28:16] some boats cannot leave their Danube branches,
[00:28:19] places where they are parked in marinas. To see
[00:28:23] how much the Danube has receded and where it is currently shallowest, we continue by boat
[00:28:27] from Oficirac to Novi Sad, where new sandbanks
[00:28:30] have emerged from the water.
[00:28:32] We are currently located above the Freedom Bridge, and this is
[00:28:36] where all the Novi Sad rafts are, as you can see, they are
[00:28:40] on dry land, so the Danube has fallen so much that they didn't have time to
[00:28:44] move them, I mean, they can't move them, they would have to go into the river's main current. What is a new
[00:28:47] sunbathing spot for some people is a new
[00:28:50] habitat for others. I see now that many birds have
[00:28:54] settled here, at least temporarily. So
[00:28:57] how does this situation actually affect both animal and plant
[00:29:00] life? Well...
[00:29:02] "It affects animal life in such a way that cormorants and
[00:29:06] gulls now have more to feed on, especially
[00:29:09] gulls, as they are scavengers, aren't they, so they eat
[00:29:13] shells and everything else. Here you can really see all kinds of birds, from
[00:29:16] grey herons, cormorants, ducks. As for the fish
[00:29:20] stock, it is significantly endangered, because the fish stock has
[00:29:23] not spawned this year due to the water level itself. And the consequences do not
[00:29:26] end on the banks. Due to the shallows, barges that transport
[00:29:29] fuel and export grain on the Danube, navigate..." with significantly less
[00:29:33] cargo or cannot navigate at all, so part of the transport
[00:29:38] trains, Ina Džakula, N1, Novi
[00:29:41] Sad.
[00:29:43] For the end of the news, let's see what temperatures await us tomorrow.
[00:30:09] You watched the news, stay tuned of course to the N1 program, all
[00:30:12] the latest news can be found on our portal
[00:30:15] n1info.RS. Thank you for your attention, good
[00:30:18] night.
[00:30:25] Almost on every street, in every street of the old
[00:30:29] town center of Zaječar, one
[00:30:32] can stop at the source of life. Yes, Zaječar
[00:30:36] is the city with the most fountains, perhaps
[00:30:39] in Europe. For example, Khartoum in Sudan
[00:30:43] has two white rivers, the Blue and White Nile, which merge into the Great Nile.
[00:30:47] We are one of the rare cities in the world, or so I've heard, that has both a
[00:30:50] black river, which is the Black Timok, and a white river, which is the White
[00:30:54] Timok. For a farmer
[00:30:56] and for a resident of Serbia, it is important that...
