[00:00:00] Over the weekend, we expect occasional rain and then showers. Sara Botić
[00:00:03] has the details, and Sara, when exactly will the change
[00:00:07] arrive and how much cooler
[00:00:09] weather will it bring us?
[00:00:12] Nataša, for the next two to three days, it will remain warm with
[00:00:16] temperatures above average, i.e., around 30
[00:00:19] degrees. Then, next week, we expect real
[00:00:22] autumn weather, temperatures around 20, rain, and
[00:00:25] showers. Before that, this Thursday and Friday bring
[00:00:29] sunny weather with temperatures above average. Namely, today's
[00:00:33] temperature will be up to 31, while Friday will be the warmest
[00:00:37] day of this week with a temperature of up to 32 degrees.
[00:00:40] Due to these temperatures, which are above average values, the Republic
[00:00:44] Hydrometeorological Institute has activated a lower level of warning for
[00:00:48] today and tomorrow, a yellow weather alert in parts of Serbia where it will be
[00:00:52] warmest, that is in the south, southeast and east of Serbia.
[00:00:55] Temperatures will be highest today and tomorrow in Niš, over
[00:00:59] 30 degrees. From Friday, there will be slightly
[00:01:02] more cloudiness. Tomorrow, there will be conditions for showers and
[00:01:05] thunderstorms across the country, while over the weekend, it will be mostly cloudy.
[00:01:09] In most parts of the country, there will be conditions for precipitation, but these are local
[00:01:13] precipitations, meaning many places will remain without
[00:01:16] rain. Next week, then, autumn weather. On
[00:01:20] Monday, it will be around 25 degrees, while from Tuesday, we expect
[00:01:23] a noticeable cooling and a temperature of only
[00:01:27] 20 degrees, and that in the warmest part of the day. While nights
[00:01:30] will be noticeably cooler, so, two more days of summer
[00:01:34] temperatures, then next week we finally enter
[00:01:37] autumn. About the weather, that's all.
[00:01:41] Thank you, Sara. It's a new day, the third hour. Here's what
[00:01:44] you're watching.
[00:01:47] If the argument of the opposition parties that withdrew from the election
[00:01:50] race is to create a referendum atmosphere, then what is the argument
[00:01:54] for participating? The guest of the morning's topic is the leader of the European
[00:01:57] Serbia list, Zdravko Ponoš.
[00:02:03] The most important sports news is brought to us by Ilija
[00:02:05] Kovačić.
[00:02:09] Let's go to the latest news. We're watching Maja Đurić
[00:02:12] Avramov. She prepared them, and Maja, what news do we start with?
[00:02:16] Nataša, with news about the verdict that was delivered yesterday in The Hague.
[00:02:19] The Specialist Chambers of Kosovo in The Hague
[00:02:22] that I refer to handed down a first-instance verdict to the leader of the former KLA, Hashim Thaçi, and
[00:02:25] his closest associates Kadri Veseli, Rexhep Selimi, and
[00:02:29] Jakup Krasniqi. Thaçi and Krasniqi were sentenced to 25
[00:02:32] years in prison each, Veseli to 18, and Selimi to 13 years. Chief
[00:02:36] Prosecutor Kimber West welcomed the verdict, stating that it is
[00:02:40] important for the rule of law in Kosovo to deliver
[00:02:43] delayed justice for victims. Hashim Thaçi's lawyer, Pierre
[00:02:47] Prosper, said he was shocked by the verdict, stating that it was predetermined
[00:02:50] and that it only took into account the evidence presented by
[00:02:54] the prosecution. After the verdicts were handed down in The Hague, at the place where
[00:02:58] Kosovar Albanians had gathered, unrest broke out. Several people
[00:03:02] climbed onto police vehicles and hit them, and the police
[00:03:05] used water cannons to disperse the crowd. Most of
[00:03:09] the day in the afternoon was calm.
[00:03:11] miran.
[00:03:14] Albanian demonstrators again threw stones at the EULEX headquarters on the outskirts
[00:03:18] of Priština overnight. On the main square in that city,
[00:03:21] the gathering of supporters of the former KLA continued. Supporters of the former KLA and
[00:03:25] citizens carried Albanian flags of the organization, with the activation
[00:03:29] of smoke grenades and firecrackers, as reported by Koha Ditore. A small part
[00:03:33] of the roof of the EULEX building also caught fire. "Death to
[00:03:36] traitors, freedom to liberators," was heard
[00:03:39] several times among the demonstrators.
[00:03:41] The demonstrators are demanding that the government and parliament take a stand and
[00:03:45] plan what they will do next after the verdict for the four leaders
[00:03:48] of the former KLA. They announced that they will continue the protests and that citizens
[00:03:52] will not remain silent before the decision of the court in The Hague, which they consider
[00:03:55] unjust. The Kosovo police announced that two people were arrested.
[00:04:02] Lawyer and victims' representative Aleksandar Olenik believes that the
[00:04:05] prosecution will appeal, focusing on the length of the sentence, but also on
[00:04:09] the fact that Thaçi and others were acquitted of part of the indictment related
[00:04:12] to crimes against humanity.
[00:04:16] "That part, in my opinion, must be the subject of a second-instance procedure, and
[00:04:20] I think that this panel, i.e., the council that will
[00:04:23] deliberate on the appeals, will have to especially
[00:04:27] examine that part, because the evidence was fixed and
[00:04:31] presented many years before the trial itself.
[00:04:34] I will give you an example: the victims represented by my office, they were all
[00:04:38] in a camp for a long time, and KFOR
[00:04:41] liberated them. On that occasion, they came, took over,
[00:04:45] disarmed these KLA members, filmed everything, created evidence,
[00:04:48] took these people, of course, to the hospital in Bondsteel where they treated them, documented
[00:04:52] everything, and everything that happened in that
[00:04:55] camp has fixed evidence. That evidence was
[00:04:57] presented at this trial. One of them
[00:05:01] gave a statement before the court itself, others gave recorded statements that were
[00:05:04] recorded here, so everything was established
[00:05:07] there. The United States of America respects the verdict
[00:05:10] of the Specialist Chambers and calls on all parties to accept the court's decision,"
[00:05:14] Radio Free Europe reported. Washington also called for avoiding
[00:05:18] inflammatory rhetoric after the verdict was announced. "We call on all
[00:05:22] parties to respect the court's decision, avoid rhetoric that incites
[00:05:25] tensions, and continue to work for a peaceful, democratic
[00:05:28] future," the spokesperson stated. France
[00:05:31] announced that it had taken note of the verdict delivered by
[00:05:34] the Specialist Chambers of Kosovo in the case against Hashim
[00:05:38] Thaçi and others. The French Ministry for Europe and Foreign
[00:05:41] Affairs stated that they express support for that judicial
[00:05:45] institution and the fight against
[00:05:47] impunity.
[00:05:57] Representatives of the electoral list, the Party of Justice and Reconciliation of Usame Zukorlić,
[00:06:00] and the Movement for Unification, submitted to the Republican Electoral Commission a list of
[00:06:04] 250 candidates for members of parliament, with about
[00:06:07] 7,000 collected signatures of citizen support. Zukorlić
[00:06:10] stated that the party's list of candidates includes more than
[00:06:14] 50% women. He stated that he expects the SPP to be
[00:06:17] the strongest Bosniak party that will bring results to all
[00:06:21] parts of Serbia where national communities live and all
[00:06:25] who support the Party of Justice
[00:06:27] and Reconciliation.
[00:06:30] The Republican Electoral Commission discussed the complaints that were
[00:06:34] submitted regarding the proclamation of the Serbian Progressive Party's list. One
[00:06:38] of the complaints was submitted by the director of Birodi, Zoran Gavrilović, in
[00:06:41] his capacity as a voter. As he stated, the SNS list has
[00:06:44] a name that contains the name of the current president, Aleksandar Vučić,
[00:06:48] first on that list, who continues
[00:06:52] Gavrilović therefore assessed that the RIK illegally
[00:06:55] declared that list valid. Identical complaints were submitted by three
[00:06:59] other voters. All complaints were rejected as
[00:07:01] unfounded.
[00:07:04] The Romanian party announced that it will support the student list
[00:07:07] "Students Win" in the upcoming parliamentary elections on October 25.
[00:07:11] The party's presidency stated that
[00:07:14] it will make its organizational capacities available to students
[00:07:18] during the campaign, and calls on members of the Romanian national
[00:07:21] minority to support their list, as reported by TV
[00:07:25] Nova portal. They added that the decision represents a continuation of the agreement
[00:07:29] reached in May in Kovin with representatives
[00:07:32] of the student movement.
[00:07:36] Students blockading the University of Belgrade announced last night that
[00:07:39] police officers from the Economic Crime Sector came to their
[00:07:43] warehouse where promotional material for their future actions is stored. They
[00:07:47] claim that the police officers did not have a warrant for this and that they entered
[00:07:50] private property. "The timely reaction of lawyers, students, and
[00:07:54] citizens has once again shown that we will not give up, that
[00:07:58] they cannot intimidate us. Such cheap attempts at intimidation
[00:08:01] will not even scratch us," the students stated on the social
[00:08:05] network
[00:08:05] Instagram.
[00:08:09] The president of the New Democratic Party of Serbia and member of the police, Miloš
[00:08:13] Jovanović, assessed that this pre-election campaign will be worse than all
[00:08:17] previous ones when it comes to conditions and media pluralism. "The opposition
[00:08:21] public, created by two television stations,
[00:08:24] uncritically accepted the students' demand for elections without
[00:08:27] changing the conditions, and they are ahead of us. We are going into them with
[00:08:31] a clear ideology and political vision as the only ones from
[00:08:34] the right side of the political spectrum," Jovanović told
[00:08:38] the weekly Nin. He added that the country's relationship with the European Union
[00:08:42] has been decided, because the relationship with
[00:08:45] everything else depends on it, and that on this issue, as he stated,
[00:08:49] everyone must
[00:08:49] take a stand.
[00:08:58] The US House of Representatives passed a bill on sanctions and tariffs, whose
[00:09:02] aim is to increase economic pressure on Russia due to the invasion of
[00:09:06] Ukraine, sending the act to President Donald Trump
[00:09:09] for signature almost a year and a half after it was
[00:09:13] proposed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, Reuters
[00:09:16] reports. The House of Representatives passed the bill with 262
[00:09:20] votes for and 159 against, after
[00:09:23] 58 Democrats deviated from the party leadership's
[00:09:26] stance and joined Republicans in supporting the
[00:09:30] act. The proposal was passed in the Senate last month, and
[00:09:33] the law targets Russia's energy and defense
[00:09:37] industries, as well as its fleet and shadow fleet of
[00:09:41] tankers that circumvent existing sanctions, all with the aim of denying
[00:09:45] Moscow the funds it uses to finance the war in
[00:09:48] Ukraine. The proposal met with resistance because it authorizes Trump to
[00:09:51] impose high tariffs that can reach 100% on
[00:09:55] China, India, and other countries to reduce
[00:09:58] their dependence on Russian oil and gas, as
[00:10:01] well as to extend sanctions
[00:10:03] on Iran.
[00:10:07] The House of Representatives of the American Congress, for the third time, passed a resolution to
[00:10:10] stop the war in Iran. The number of ruling
[00:10:14] Republicans who sided with opposition Democrats also increased, giving
[00:10:17] them a majority to pass it. The resolution intends to prevent
[00:10:21] US President Donald Trump from waging war against Iran without the approval
[00:10:25] of the US Congress. This is the third such resolution this summer,
[00:10:29] but none has reached the President himself, who must sign it, and it is likely that Trump
[00:10:32] would veto it. Under
[00:10:35] circumstances of a very slim Republican majority, the opposition Democrats
[00:10:39] were given a majority for passing the resolution by four
[00:10:42] Republican representatives. All Democratic representatives voted
[00:10:46] for the resolution.

[00:17:06] If the argument of the opposition parties that withdrew from the election
[00:17:10] race is to create a referendum atmosphere, then what is the argument
[00:17:14] for participating? What is the attitude towards the will of individual committees and officials
[00:17:18] who explicitly requested that the decision be reconsidered and then
[00:17:21] left the party? The guest of the morning's topic is the leader of the
[00:17:25] European Serbia list, Zdravko Ponoš from the Serbia Centre Party. Good
[00:17:28] morning and welcome. Good morning. So, the answer to what is probably
[00:17:32] my first question is currently on the X platform. Namely, you
[00:17:35] pitanje, naime, vi ste na...
[00:17:38] commented on an article titled "Will the heart change its decision and support
[00:17:41] the student list?" You said it won't, and that still stands today,
[00:17:44] I presume? Yes, nothing has changed. Was it a difficult
[00:17:48] decision? Did you have doubts, even for a moment,
[00:17:51] when the PSG left? When this
[00:17:55] "Narodna Srbija" stood with the students, when
[00:17:59] you saw those queues or the submission of the student list, was there
[00:18:02] a dilemma? You know, this
[00:18:06] conversation of ours begins with a "believe it or not" section,
[00:18:10] right? So I'm coming to the studio.
[00:18:13] I think your question is logical in this atmosphere. You didn't
[00:18:16] create it, but we have an atmosphere in which a question is posed to the head of an opposition
[00:18:19] party,
[00:18:22] the list leader, "Why are you going to the elections?" I didn't ask
[00:18:25] why, I just asked if you had, well, okay, "Why don't you
[00:18:28] withdraw from the elections?" I didn't even ask
[00:18:31] you that. Oh no, I don't expect you to explain the question to me, but I understand
[00:18:35] what you mean, that it's being asked.
[00:18:39] Parties are for going to elections, that's their job. Well, parties are not for
[00:18:43] going to elections for me, that's a normal
[00:18:46] thing. You should ask those who withdrew from the elections
[00:18:50] why they withdrew. Well, okay, but let me just explain
[00:18:53] at the beginning, there were elections that your party did not
[00:18:57] participate in, so when you say that they are for going to elections, it's not
[00:19:01] always the case, right? Well, then we calculated, but these were not such
[00:19:05] republican elections, those were some local elections. "For principled reasons,
[00:19:09] because we, well, let me finish, because we signed that paper that
[00:19:13] the proclamation gave us, that we agreed not to go
[00:19:16] to elections under such conditions. Some changed their minds for these
[00:19:20] elections. We decided at the level at
[00:19:23] which our party decides, that was in May at the main board meeting.
[00:19:27] At that time, we made that decision, and everything after that is just maintaining
[00:19:31] that trajectory. There's nothing new there, nothing has happened because
[00:19:34] of which we would give up that decision. The main board of the party
[00:19:37] defines the party's policy, which the presidency implements. Our presidency
[00:19:41] implements that policy, so there was no dilemma,
[00:19:44] even in this current surge, the last one. We, of course,
[00:19:48] listen, we listen to the atmosphere,
[00:19:52] we listen, not so much to what someone else from other
[00:19:56] parties will do, but we listen to the public's mood, and as we
[00:19:59] notice it, well, in the end, we have friends and family members who
[00:20:03] point out that this is not a normal situation, that we should
[00:20:06] consider whether the party will survive something like this.
[00:20:10] But you know, I think that what is now before us, these elections, are not just
[00:20:14] elections to get rid of this government of the SNS.
[00:20:17] These are elections to decide whether Serbia will have a multi-party
[00:20:21] parliamentary democracy or not. You know, if there are no parties
[00:20:24] in parliament, and the SNS is not a party but an organized criminal
[00:20:28] group with its satellites, and if there is some student list, whatever
[00:20:31] it may be, but that is not a party, that is no longer
[00:20:34] multi-party. In this society, this country, generations
[00:20:38] fought for Serbia to become a multi-party parliamentary democracy.
[00:20:41] Some ended up in prison for it, and that's why it's now incredibly, almost scandalous,
[00:20:45] that some who now, it seems to me,
[00:20:48] unworthily bear the banner of democratic parties are fighting
[00:20:52] against multi-partyism. You know, once upon a time, people who founded that party
[00:20:56] had serious problems, went to prison because they fought for
[00:21:00] Šešelj's right to say what he thinks, for everyone to say what they think, and
[00:21:04] for there to be multi-partyism in Serbia.
[00:21:07] Unanimity is not a referendum atmosphere. Yes, but I
[00:21:11] understand your criticism, but this question about participating in the elections
[00:21:15] didn't just come from outside, but also from within your
[00:21:18] party, for example, the Užice board that was disbanded. Then
[00:21:22] you have appeals from Leskovac and Kruševac, these are your
[00:21:25] people, I assume they are well-intentioned people. How did you
[00:21:28] take that? Did you talk to them? Yes, that is certainly
[00:21:32] well-intentioned and part of party democracy, but let me
[00:21:35] clarify, the Užice board was not dissolved.
[00:21:38] People there resigned because they believed that in this
[00:21:42] atmosphere in Užice, it was not acceptable to
[00:21:46] conduct a party campaign. That was their
[00:21:49] decision, they did not leave the party, nor were they expelled, nor did we
[00:21:52] dissolve the board. Uh, these boards that
[00:21:56] contacted us, or trusteeships, which are a lower housing organization, of course, that
[00:22:00] addressed us with a public letter, none
[00:22:02] of them were sanctioned either. These are people who did not leave the party, only
[00:22:06] the trustee from Vrnjačka Banja left. These people remained in the party.
[00:22:10] That's their way of choosing to address the party leadership,
[00:22:13] but you know, it still shows in some way how the party functions,
[00:22:17] that it's possible with us. Let me compare again. "You, too, as
[00:22:21] a house, are going through similar turbulences. You know, this
[00:22:25] conversation you had the other day with your news director about the
[00:22:28] situation in your house in front of the public was also extremely unusual.
[00:22:31] We had that conversation, it didn't hurt you for now. Few
[00:22:35] television stations could afford that kind of conversation. I think that's your
[00:22:39] strength. Well, there's a small difference, we won't go to the elections, and our
[00:22:43] decisions don't depend on whether
[00:22:46] we'll meet the threshold or not, and a lot
[00:22:50] depends on what will happen with this television station, just as
[00:22:54] a lot has depended so far. You know, I wish you good health because
[00:22:57] this is a symbol of media freedom, one of the few remaining ones, and
[00:23:01] we all care very much what will happen with this, just as we all care very much
[00:23:05] what will happen tomorrow in the Serbian parliament, whether it will be a multi-
[00:23:09] party parliamentary democracy or not. So what is your key argument, what
[00:23:13] is the plan to begin with, how is the collection
[00:23:16] of signatures going, when is the list being submitted? The collection
[00:23:19] of signatures is going as we projected. My prediction
[00:23:23] was that we would need seven days, but we will need slightly less. In this situation,
[00:23:26] it is quite expected that it will proceed at that pace. This is not a large
[00:23:30] coalition; this is a coalition that has two parties and one
[00:23:33] movement. Uh, we are, we need to finish this today, of course, we need to
[00:23:37] collect a few more due to the reserve. We saw what happened
[00:23:40] to some who stumbled on administrative
[00:23:44] issues. So we will submit it over the weekend.
[00:23:47] We are realistically already in a way in the campaign,
[00:23:51] as much as that is possible when the list has not yet been declared. So
[00:23:54] everything is going regularly. Part of that campaign is also what
[00:23:58] we are promoting, what we think is important, which also carries
[00:24:01] the name of our coalition, European Serbia. That is what we
[00:24:05] propose. As I said, I don't think these elections
[00:24:08] will be decided by whether we will be for Europe or not
[00:24:12] for Europe, but there is a part of Serbian citizens for whom that is an important issue and who
[00:24:16] will not go to the elections if it is not on offer. We told
[00:24:20] that main board in May that this is a large field and that everyone should
[00:24:23] plow their own patch of land. It
[00:24:27] had to be set up that way. You know, why, if the question of a
[00:24:31] referendum atmosphere arises, why it exists or doesn't exist, whether we are destroying it or
[00:24:34] not. The referendum atmosphere died at
[00:24:37] birth. We already gave it a year's memorial. So, from the moment
[00:24:41] you don't think it's a referendum atmosphere, well, unfortunately, not in
[00:24:44] the sense that we have one opposition political actor. That would be
[00:24:48] a referendum atmosphere, an attempt to create
[00:24:51] referendum, this is now agitation for a one-party system, which some people are doing,
[00:24:55] I was never for a one-party system, nor am I now, I am for us to
[00:24:59] get rid of this government, to preserve the multi-party system in
[00:25:02] Serbia, the referendum atmosphere could have been
[00:25:05] created last year when the student
[00:25:08] list decided that it was no longer enough, that is, when the students said, we can no longer
[00:25:12] wait for this kind of government to resolve our demands, that obviously
[00:25:16] won't happen, we have to enter politics and that was a big step,
[00:25:20] and important and good, but at the same time they said that they would not go with opposition
[00:25:23] parties, it followed that the new DSS said that it would not go with those who
[00:25:27] are for Serbia's entry into the European Union, from that moment we no longer have
[00:25:31] a referendum atmosphere in that formal way, so that we have
[00:25:34] one actor on the opposition scene, what remained
[00:25:37] was to create such a front that cumulatively
[00:25:41] gives us 50 plus one, or something less, and then when it is
[00:25:44] recalculated, it turns out that we will defeat this government, that we will get these
[00:25:47] results, those who advocate in the end that the student
[00:25:51] list, that it is a done deal, that a stone can be placed on a cabbage,
[00:25:55] that it is irresponsible, dishonest, fueling
[00:25:58] unrealistic expectations is harmful and I think that those people should
[00:26:01] look in the mirror on the 26th, we still have time to
[00:26:05] do a great job, but what is being done is irresponsible, but
[00:26:08] what is your operational campaign plan, here
[00:26:11] you have shown this, so you are somewhere between two
[00:26:15] actors, one is the state with all its
[00:26:18] resources, with machinery, with money like never
[00:26:21] before, and the other are students who are
[00:26:24] riding the wave of these obstructions, on the wave of that,
[00:26:27] they entered the campaign, submitted the list, today bicycles, so
[00:26:31] what is your operational campaign plan? Well, of course I won't
[00:26:35] present our operational campaign plan in the middle of the show, because I think, well, no, but
[00:26:38] it's completely absurd for me to tell you when we will go, I don't know, to Sombor, when we will go to
[00:26:42] Novi Sad, that, that, that is it, we will certainly not
[00:26:45] pay for expensive commercials on RTS,
[00:26:48] we don't have money for that, it's pointless, we will use every opportunity when
[00:26:52] we get the chance to appear on television, to
[00:26:55] be active on social media, travel around Serbia, so that
[00:26:59] people can see what we are presenting, because it's important to see
[00:27:02] what the political offer is, you know, that fueling some conflict
[00:27:06] between us and the student list, I haven't
[00:27:09] heard anyone from the student side who attacked
[00:27:13] the opposition, some people who are
[00:27:16] worn out mouthpieces of some parties that have failed or they have failed in those
[00:27:20] parties or gone through several metamorphoses, then they
[00:27:23] act as if in the name of students attacking the opposition, I haven't seen anyone
[00:27:27] from that student list which was finally published who said anything
[00:27:30] bad, just as nothing bad came from this side, I think what
[00:27:34] Professor Fric, if I remember the
[00:27:37] name correctly, said about how she sees the time after
[00:27:40] the elections, that's what we need, we should
[00:27:43] think that way, we have to finish this job side
[00:27:46] by side, what do you mean by this on Nova television, when she
[00:27:50] guested and then she said that after those elections we should talk
[00:27:54] about what kind of government we will form and how we will organize it,
[00:27:57] she said in front of the public, it can be any way, and what is your stance on
[00:28:01] that, it can be. I have no secrets as far as I'm concerned, what I'm
[00:28:05] telling you, I'm telling our presidency, I'm talking about it at home with
[00:28:08] my wife, I have no problem talking about it with
[00:28:12] professors or representatives of the student list tomorrow after
[00:28:15] the elections, yes, when you talk about no attacks, that
[00:28:18] no one is attacking anyone there, there is one
[00:28:22] and one piece of information, that is
[00:28:24] the research of the International Republican Institute which says that
[00:28:28] 61% of those who support the student
[00:28:31] list want to join the European Union, there are many
[00:28:35] who are concerned that your participation will take
[00:28:39] votes from that electorate and not
[00:28:42] from SNS. Well, we don't
[00:28:45] take those votes home, you know,
[00:28:48] uh research also showed that we
[00:28:52] conducted it, we didn't make these decisions in affect or out of personal
[00:28:55] whim, this is risky for every party,
[00:28:59] first of all for the party president, because if it's a success, everyone's
[00:29:02] success is a failure, the president's failure, we based our decisions
[00:29:06] on research that showed us that
[00:29:09] we are passing as a coalition in this composition,
[00:29:12] 4.8%, that was the percentage at that moment, that's one
[00:29:16] thing, another thing is that there is a base of votes that
[00:29:20] will not be in the student basket if there is no
[00:29:23] alternative that is for the European Union, just like there are those who are
[00:29:27] on the right side, that people simply won't go to the polls, that's
[00:29:30] how it is, it's clearly seen from what is the factor for elections in Serbia, that's Aleksandar
[00:29:34] Vučić, and he calculated, if the SPS is on his list,
[00:29:38] that it brings him less, if he goes separately, it will bring more, that's
[00:29:41] what our research showed, which was also done for them, so we
[00:29:45] saw how it looks, so 4.8%, you say
[00:29:48] that you have SSP,
[00:29:50] solidarity, not at that moment, PSG was also
[00:29:54] there, that was a few weeks ago in the end, I mean, we announced our decisions
[00:29:58] even though we as a party made them earlier
[00:30:02] that... We had the opportunity at the presidency
[00:30:06] to analyze those results, of course we took that into account, but
[00:30:10] in the meantime, it happened that PSG left
[00:30:13] and it happened that this student campaign was launched
[00:30:16] which, it seems, changed the atmosphere. Do you
[00:30:20] think that PSG left and Solidarity and Ješić came?
[00:30:24] Well, do you think that the circumstances
[00:30:28] are such that voter turnout will be high,
[00:30:31] that high turnout for parties that are close to the census
[00:30:35] that it is a risk for you? Well, of course it is
[00:30:38] a risk, but you know,
[00:30:41] you have two ways to go through life, one is to hide
[00:30:45] under the eaves for every rain and wait for it to pass, and the other is to
[00:30:49] go and get where you started, I have always gone through life
[00:30:52] like this as I tell you, this is not just my decision,
[00:30:55] of course, uh, we can hide behind the fact that
[00:30:59] it's...
