[00:00:19] Good afternoon, you're watching the news at 2 PM, I'm Ivana Terzić, here's
[00:00:22] a recap of today's
[00:00:24] top stories.
[00:00:28] The Republican Election Commission has announced the European Serbia election list
[00:00:31] Marinika Tepić, Zdravko Ponoš for the upcoming extraordinary
[00:00:35] parliamentary elections on October 25th. The campaign is
[00:00:38] accelerating.
[00:00:42] At 60 locations in Belgrade, the "Not Bitef" festival begins, a
[00:00:46] self-organized festival of the Artistic Community under the slogan "Bitef is
[00:00:49] where we
[00:00:50] gather".
[00:00:54] In the largest attack on Moscow since the beginning of the war, two
[00:00:57] people have died, victims of a Russian strike on the Kyiv
[00:01:00] region.
[00:01:09] The Republic Election Commission has announced the election list
[00:01:12] "European Serbia, Marinika Tepić, Zdravko Ponoš" for the upcoming
[00:01:16] extraordinary parliamentary elections on October 25th.
[00:01:19] The coalition list, which consists of the Coalition of the Party of Freedom and Justice, Serbia Center
[00:01:23] and the Civic Movement Solidarity, has a total of
[00:01:26] 246 candidates for deputies in
[00:01:30] the Serbian Assembly and has submitted 10,020
[00:01:32] 10.020
[00:01:34] signatures to RIK. As stated at the session, two candidates were
[00:01:38] withdrawn from the list immediately before its beginning, at
[00:01:42] positions 78 and
[00:01:43] 248 on the
[00:01:47] list. The "European Serbia" coalition, consisting of the Party
[00:01:50] of Freedom and Justice, Serbia Center and the Civic
[00:01:54] Movement Solidarity, is now officially entering the campaign.
[00:01:57] SSP Vice-President Marinika Tepić says that the priority
[00:02:00] is the continuation of European integration, the return of the rule of law,
[00:02:04] and a ruthless crackdown on corruption and crime. Dragan Đilas states that the
[00:02:08] best way to achieve a change in the current government is for as many
[00:02:11] people as possible to vote in the elections on October 25th, and believes that a larger number
[00:02:15] of options contributes most to this, and that three opposition lists are key to victory.
[00:02:19] However, SSP officials Borko Stefanović, Jelena Milošević,
[00:02:22] Vladimir Vrsajkov and Goran Petrović, as well as
[00:02:25] Teodora Mitrović and Mila Popović, believe that it is a better choice to support
[00:02:29] the student list, as do members of the presidency of the Serbia Centre
[00:02:32] party, Slobodan Petrović and Boško Šindić, who have withdrawn from
[00:02:35] the list. "This happens in politics," they say from European
[00:02:39] Serbia.
[00:02:40] Srbije.
[00:02:48] As part of the pre-election campaign, a ten-day
[00:02:51] cycling tour is underway, in which two teams visit different parts of the
[00:02:55] country and talk to citizens, promoting
[00:02:58] the student list "Students Win" and its plan ahead of the
[00:03:02] extraordinary parliamentary elections on October 25th.
[00:03:05] The cycling tour, called "Guardians of the Constitution," started on September
[00:03:09] 17th from Belgrade, when two teams, carrying copies of the Constitution,
[00:03:12] set off for different parts of Serbia. Today, one
[00:03:16] team from Užice should reach Kraljevo, and the other from
[00:03:19] Kikinda to Subotica. And this is what the reception looked like last night
[00:03:23] in
[00:03:23] Užice.
[00:03:33] The President of the National Assembly in her technical
[00:03:36] mandate, Ana Brnabić, said that this format
[00:03:40] of campaign suggests that you view politics as a
[00:03:43] game. How do you respond?
[00:03:46] Well, I, I honestly think this is actually something completely different. We are taking
[00:03:49] this very seriously, and we have taken it too seriously, just to
[00:03:53] show our emotion, how many
[00:03:56] really good and honest people are with us. Well, I think it's enough just
[00:04:00] to say that 29 citizens who live in this city could not
[00:04:03] pass through the city square and the main street tonight, and
[00:04:07] of course, everyone, everyone is welcome to come and support our colleagues. The student
[00:04:11] list will
[00:04:13] return all those institutions that were stolen from the people
[00:04:17] to the
[00:04:18] people.
[00:04:21] Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, the holder and first on the list
[00:04:25] of the Serbian Progressive Party, reiterated
[00:04:28] this morning that if he becomes
[00:04:30] prime minister, the government will have 12 ministers, adding that he will
[00:04:33] do everything he can to replace at least 50% of mayors and
[00:04:37] municipal presidents in Serbia within three months of the government's formation,
[00:04:40] because, he says, they did not want to listen to the citizens but thought of themselves. He
[00:04:44] repeats that he will resign on September
[00:04:47] 27th. He still has things he says he must take out
[00:04:51] of the presidency because he wants the future acting
[00:04:54] president of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, to find an empty
[00:04:58] office so she can immediately take office when he resigns
[00:05:02] on September 27th.
[00:05:05] septembra.
[00:05:08] The President of the Socialist Party of Serbia, the list holder "Factor
[00:05:11] of Stability," Ivica Dačić, stated that his party traditionally
[00:05:14] transmits its political values from generation to generation
[00:05:18] to future young socialists, and that its
[00:05:21] idea has endured all these years like the flame of an eternal
[00:05:25] fire. "The Socialist Party of Serbia is like the burning
[00:05:28] bush in the Bible that burns but is not consumed.
[00:05:32] We leave the flame for future generations of socialists, both male and
[00:05:35] female," Dačić said. Presenting younger
[00:05:38] members of the party, he stated that the SPS is also the party of the future.
[00:05:46] And the new DSS today sends a message that it is against the recognition
[00:05:50] of same-sex marriages. The President of the new DSS, Miloš Jovanović,
[00:05:53] states that Serbia's entry into the European Union implies the recognition
[00:05:57] of same-sex marriages, adding that for the authentic
[00:06:00] right-wing coalition, of which he is the leader in the elections,
[00:06:04] such a thing is unacceptable. He pointed out that the Serbian
[00:06:07] Constitution defines marriage as a union of a man and a woman,
[00:06:10] and only a man and a woman.
[00:06:21] time. At 60 locations in Belgrade, "Not Bitef" began,
[00:06:25] a self-organized festival of the artistic community under the slogan "Bitef is
[00:06:28] where we gather," in protest against the pressures
[00:06:32] from the authorities to which the Belgrade International Theater
[00:06:35] Festival is exposed. Our reporter Tamara Ognjanović is following
[00:06:39] this festival, and Tamara, why are the deputies
[00:06:43] protesting?
[00:06:48] Well, because for the second year in a row, as they
[00:06:51] believe, the official Bitef, the institutional one, has been hijacked, and
[00:06:55] that's why they organized this year, albeit in
[00:06:58] a different way, since this year marks the 60th anniversary
[00:07:02] of Bitef, they wanted to remind people of that
[00:07:05] fact, so symbolically this year Not Bitef
[00:07:09] is held at 60 locations, 60 small
[00:07:13] stages across the city, in which several
[00:07:16] dozens, or actually over 100 artists participate, not only domestic
[00:07:20] ones, not only theater artists, but artists from the region, from
[00:07:24] the world. Some of the participants who refused
[00:07:27] to participate in the official or institutional
[00:07:31] Bitef, are coming to
[00:07:34] Not Bitef to offer support, solidarity,
[00:07:37] to show solidarity with domestic Serbian artists
[00:07:41] who are here... exposed to repression
[00:07:44] and censorship. Some artists from the world and the region will also participate
[00:07:48] online in this edition of Not Bitef.
[00:07:50] Also participating are last
[00:07:54] year's, or rather, not last year's, but former previous
[00:07:58] directors and selectors, people who in previous
[00:08:01] years have worked on Bitef. Some programs will
[00:08:05] include students, and one of
[00:08:08] the programs also includes tours. Actor
[00:08:11] Miloš Timotijević will, for example, lead a
[00:08:14] tour past occupied cultural institutions, starting from
[00:08:18] the Museum of Yugoslavia, passing by CKC and ending, passing by
[00:08:22] the National Theater and ending at Atelje
[00:08:26] 212. About
[00:08:28] what is happening today at Nebitef,
[00:08:32] I am talking with Nikita Milivojević, director and
[00:08:35] previous or past, former selector,
[00:08:38] artistic, one of the selectors. Tell
[00:08:41] us, we are now in Cetinska Street, here several
[00:08:44] venues have organized several micro-scenes,
[00:08:48] and you are on one of them. What will your program be? Well,
[00:08:52] my program is actually underway, my guest is
[00:08:56] Milo Rau. By some strange coincidence, our
[00:08:59] paths are crossing, you know, it all started with Milo Rau's famous
[00:09:03] speech at the opening two
[00:09:06] years ago, so it was natural for me to invite him to be
[00:09:09] a guest. Uh,
[00:09:12] what I think is interesting at this moment is
[00:09:16] actually the fact that
[00:09:19] at 60 places in this city something fantastic is happening,
[00:09:22] something simply
[00:09:25] unforgettable, because if Bitef really needs
[00:09:28] to celebrate its 60th anniversary in some way, then
[00:09:32] this is, it seems to me, the right way. Perhaps in that sense we should
[00:09:36] thank the other Bitef for helping us to organize ourselves
[00:09:39] like this, because who knows how we would have united otherwise.
[00:09:43] is uh Milo Rau is truly one
[00:09:47] of the most interesting, let's say
[00:09:51] the most interesting current theater people
[00:09:54] who create
[00:09:57] today, and what seemed interesting
[00:10:00] to me was to show a part of his work about which we know
[00:10:04] almost nothing. We know his plays, but he has made
[00:10:07] about ten documentary, documentary-fiction
[00:10:10] films in which, in a similar way, he
[00:10:14] explores all those burning issues around the world
[00:10:18] and creates an incredibly interesting
[00:10:21] combination of documentary and fiction material and things.
[00:10:25] It seemed to me it was much more interesting to watch a film in a cinema than a filmed
[00:10:28] theater play, but he is certainly one
[00:10:32] of those interlocutors with whom it is always very, very
[00:10:35] interesting to talk because he
[00:10:39] simply has incredible energy, travels a lot, works a lot,
[00:10:42] brings interesting ideas from all over the world, you know, and
[00:10:46] watching these films now, we have a lot
[00:10:49] of viewers here, I'm interested to see how they
[00:10:51] will react, but I think we can easily recognize
[00:10:56] some of the problems with which we here
[00:10:59] today have met, so that's why we organized
[00:11:03] ourselves like this. It's simply incredible how from
[00:11:06] Italy or from Congo, from
[00:11:09] Brazil you easily recognize your
[00:11:11] problem, so here's another reason for him to be here.
[00:11:15] I also came for just one day and it seemed
[00:11:18] to me that I had a strong reason to come because tomorrow I'm returning to
[00:11:22] rehearsals in Sweden, but this
[00:11:25] deserves for Bitef, for Belgrade
[00:11:28] to defend its Bitef, for Bitef to be what it should
[00:11:32] be, and I think it is now returning
[00:11:34] in the right way to what it was, how
[00:11:38] it was conceived, actually. So
[00:11:41] here are many of your colleagues, as you said, Milo Rau, one of
[00:11:45] the greatest theater directors
[00:11:48] of today, has come for a short visit, many artists have come
[00:11:51] from all over the world. What does that tell you, what does
[00:11:55] the great involvement of domestic artists tell you, not only theater
[00:11:58] workers, there are also many curators and cultural managers and fine artists and
[00:12:02] dancers. Do
[00:12:05] you agree with Anja Suša's assessment or
[00:12:09] impression that today the whole city lives
[00:12:12] Bitef? Well, yes, that's what I meant when I said that such
[00:12:16] a Bitef deserves 60 years of its
[00:12:18] existence, because,
[00:12:22] how can I say, to gather all these people in one place, that is such
[00:12:25] a gift to Bitef, to the real
[00:12:27] Bitef, and such a recognition of everything for
[00:12:31] which it has somehow fought all these years and how
[00:12:34] it has been achieved. That is recognized,
[00:12:38] people in the world know that. I mean, you can't
[00:12:41] endlessly hide things and create some
[00:12:45] parallel reality and think that it can function
[00:12:48] just like what was created for 60
[00:12:51] years. So I'm
[00:12:55] endlessly glad that I'm even a part of this whole
[00:12:58] mosaic which I think is writing, in a way, not
[00:13:02] to be pathetic, but writing the history
[00:13:05] of Bitef in a new way. Thank you very much for speaking to
[00:13:09] N1. So the programs are ongoing and will last until
[00:13:12] 6 PM. After that, the final event will take place from 7 PM
[00:13:15] at the Center for Cultural Decontamination, where all of today's
[00:13:19] participants will take part. The
[00:13:22] artists participating in today's program
[00:13:25] invite citizens to take the opportunity and visit
[00:13:28] one of the 60 locations where today's
[00:13:32] "Not Bitef"
[00:13:33] is taking place.
[00:13:37] Thank you, Tamara. You heard N1 reporter Tamara
[00:13:40] Ognjanović.
[00:13:45] Four children and a driver were injured in a traffic accident that occurred
[00:13:49] on the Mojkovac-Kolašin main road, involving a bus that
[00:13:52] was transporting students of a
[00:13:56] primary school in Podgorica. The Montenegrin police unofficially
[00:13:59] stated that the traffic accident occurred last night when
[00:14:03] a rockslide happened, which the driver tried to avoid, and
[00:14:07] hit a rock along the right edge of the roadway. The bus
[00:14:10] driver, a Serbian citizen who has a temporary residence and
[00:14:14] work permit in Montenegro, was arrested on suspicion of committing a criminal offense
[00:14:18] of a serious offense against public
[00:14:20] traffic safety.
[00:14:30] World. Ukraine has carried out its largest drone attack on the Russian
[00:14:34] capital since the beginning of the war. At least two people
[00:14:37] were killed and six were injured in the attack. The Mayor
[00:14:40] of Moscow said that several drones reached the Moscow oil refinery,
[00:14:44] and that one hit a residential building. The head
[00:14:48] of the Moscow region stated that two people died and 400
[00:14:51] people were evacuated from a residential building. A large number
[00:14:55] of houses were damaged. In a Russian drone attack on Kyiv, a private
[00:14:59] house was hit, and a woman and her two children
[00:15:02] died in the attack.
[00:15:06] Russians are voting today on the third and final day of parliamentary elections,
[00:15:10] which are widely seen as a test of public support for President
[00:15:13] Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. The elections are being held for the first time
[00:15:17] in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia
[00:15:21] regions, i.e., in the territories of Ukraine that Moscow
[00:15:24] declared part of Russia in 2022. Voting in these regions
[00:15:27] began back at the end of August, citing security reasons.
[00:15:31] The ruling United Russia is expected
[00:15:34] to retain its dominance in the State Duma. These
[00:15:37] are the first parliamentary elections since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in
[00:15:41] February 2022, and critics say that
[00:15:44] the political system in Russia leaves little room for
[00:15:48] dissent. President Vladimir Putin, in a televised
[00:15:51] address to the nation before the elections, said that the vote would confirm support
[00:15:55] for Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine. Voters can cast their ballots
[00:15:58] at polling stations or electronically.
[00:16:02] elektronskim
[00:16:03] Firstly, I had
[00:16:06] obligations during the previous voting days. Secondly,
[00:16:10] I was afraid of falsification, so I deliberately
[00:16:13] came to vote on the last day. Every electronic form of voting
[00:16:16] allows for falsification. There is such a possibility. When it comes to paper,
[00:16:20] it's not easy to change.
[00:16:24] I always vote. I came to fulfill my duty to the homeland, so to
[00:16:27] speak. I think things are not bad as they are, but we always
[00:16:31] hope for the better.
[00:16:34] And citizens of two German federal states are going to the polls today,
[00:16:37] just two weeks after the far-right
[00:16:41] Alternative for Germany party achieved a convincing
[00:16:44] victory in Saxony-Anhalt. Elections in the city-state
[00:16:47] of Berlin and the northeastern state
[00:16:50] of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are the latest in a series of five
[00:16:54] state elections this year, which have exposed widespread
[00:16:57] public dissatisfaction with Merz's coalition government
[00:17:00] and sparked serious debate about the chancellor's
[00:17:04] future. Voting in both states began this morning at 8
[00:17:07] AM, and the first unofficial results are expected immediately after the closing
[00:17:11] of the polls at 6
[00:17:12] PM.
[00:17:17] I think it's important to think about the future of the country. Such questions ensure
[00:17:21] the future of everyone in this state and in the country as a whole. That's really
[00:17:25] important to me. I know different parties interpret that in different
[00:17:28] ways. The state needs jobs, good
[00:17:31] salaries, free daycare for small children. I actually don't
[00:17:35] agree with that, because I always think that it comes
[00:17:37] from the time of the GDR, when everything was free, it was never really
[00:17:41] that good, and I have a lot of experience with children
[00:17:45] who don't show up or don't cancel their
[00:17:47] spot.

[00:25:39] It's a new day, and our topic for the morning is that it seems not
[00:25:43] all election contenders have officially started campaigning,
[00:25:46] but most of those who have started it joyfully, with song and
[00:25:50] dance.
[00:25:54] The leader of the United Serbia list and the first on it is
[00:25:57] still the President of Serbia, but today, for the first time, he says on his
[00:26:01] Instagram account: He is his own master, in the role of
[00:26:04] chauffeur and popular tribune at the same time, from early
[00:26:08] morning on his way to Smederevo, he opens
[00:26:10] his soul, I will sing. There is also
[00:26:14] a cry.
[00:26:16] plać,
[00:26:22] As if he were
[00:26:23] there.
[00:26:27] only
[00:26:36] president I know at Lake Šalinac near
[00:26:39] Smederevo is still an ordinary man with
[00:26:42] a fishing license, but as he says, without
[00:26:46] a talent for fishing. It has to go up more.
[00:26:50] Yes, it can, it can. And what are we actually doing now? We are
[00:26:53] fishing, looking to see if a chub or a
[00:26:56] zander will bite. I don't understand fishing.
[00:26:59] This, perhaps, he understands.
[00:27:04] in preparation, but in eating, which I
[00:27:05] understand.
[00:27:09] Whoever today doesn't understand how President Vučić is an ordinary and
[00:27:13] emotional man, never will. To that end,
[00:27:16] a video of him petting a dog, and with appropriate
[00:27:19] music, on Instagram, Vučić writes, "How harshly it sounds
[00:27:23] when you say 'stray dog', but behind it all is
[00:27:26] a being with a wondrous soul and a huge heart." Let's give it
[00:27:30] a name if it's already a stray. It came to us two days ago.
[00:27:34] How about we call it Žanka?
[00:27:37] Yes, I'm honored.
[00:27:49] It is human for Rasim to play, as the first on the eponymous
[00:27:53] list, Rasim Ljajić, humanly enters the campaign
[00:27:56] with a traditional dance, but humanly, in front of a full hall
[00:27:59] of Pendik in Novi Pazar, he admits that the party he
[00:28:03] leads does not fight to win, but to
[00:28:06] decide who will win. And remember,
[00:28:09] there will be no government without us. There will be
[00:28:13] no government; you will call us to talk, you will call us to
[00:28:16] discuss,
[00:28:18] because we will win so much that no one will have a majority without
[00:28:22] us. The leader of the authentic right-wing list, Miloš
[00:28:26] Jovanović, currently without an authentic campaign, does not
[00:28:29] sing, does not fish, does not dance the kolo. He maintains
[00:28:33] an old-school approach and sends a sharp political message: The European Union demands
[00:28:37] that we renounce Kosovo and Metohija, demands that we impose
[00:28:40] sanctions on Russia, and since the death of General Mladić, we know that it demands that we
[00:28:43] mingle with ashes and accept their lie that genocide was committed in Srebrenica,
[00:28:47] that Ratko Mladić is a criminal. That is why the authentic
[00:28:50] right wing clearly states cooperation with the European Union
[00:28:54] yes, but membership no. "No" is
[00:28:57] a call, explains Jovanović, for Serbia's policy towards the European
[00:29:00] Union to be redefined. Maja Nikolić 11,
[00:29:04] Belgrade.
[00:29:06] And this story was an introduction to a discussion about campaign
[00:29:09] strategies for students, opposition, and government. With
[00:29:13] electoral campaign consultant Ana Stojiljković, who is our guest. Good
[00:29:16] morning, and thank you for being here. Good morning.
[00:29:20] And let's start with what we saw.
[00:29:23] The campaigns of the Serbian Progressive Party, or rather, of the President, still
[00:29:26] President Aleksandar Vučić. You said
[00:29:30] in an interview the other day, to the question of whether the SNS is even
[00:29:34] in a campaign, which people were asking, like why isn't that campaign
[00:29:37] more visible, uh, that they actually are in a campaign
[00:29:41] through some of their channels. Uh, now, what are
[00:29:45] those channels, and what is the goal
[00:29:48] of the SNS's communication currently, with the new elections? Well, I
[00:29:52] think, first, that we, uh, now as this
[00:29:56] so-called opposition public, uh,
[00:29:59] view it a bit differently now because for the first time, the SNS is entering
[00:30:02] the campaign without that aura of invincibility,
[00:30:06] omnipotence, absolute control over everything. This is the first time
[00:30:10] we see them in a somewhat different atmosphere,
[00:30:14] a somewhat different, I mean, a somewhat different role. They
[00:30:16] still, even though the whole
[00:30:20] situation has changed, even though these are the first elections where
[00:30:23] they practically have a competitor
[00:30:25] who, uh, as far as ratings are concerned, has
[00:30:28] very much approached them, if not equaled them, in
[00:30:32] some moments. Uh, they are still using, for
[00:30:36] now, what we've seen are some old tricks, uh,
[00:30:39] which now no longer seem so
[00:30:43] omnipotent and so effective in solving
[00:30:45] the whole situation, already in advance
[00:30:49] and before the campaign, so now we are actually entering an
[00:30:52] uncertain campaign. On the other hand, we also have students who
[00:30:56] are largely hiding their strategy; they haven't shown it.
