[00:00:31] "The mission of the European Parliament is coming to observe the elections in Serbia, if the
[00:00:34] invitation was sent late, what will be the mandate and scope of that mission, we will ask
[00:00:38] Nemanja Tudorović Štiplija, editor of the portal
[00:00:42] European Western Balkans contemporary
[00:00:44] politics, in a live broadcast.
[00:00:46] The Third Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade has opened a case
[00:00:50] against Aleksandar Šapić, accusing him of criminal offenses of grievous
[00:00:54] bodily harm and violent
[00:00:56] behavior.
[00:00:59] How will they vote?". Serbs from Kosovo on December 25th had
[00:01:03] no way to resist the pressures and blackmail they are exposed to for a live broadcast,
[00:01:07] Momčilo Trajković from the Serbian National
[00:01:10] Forum speaks.
[00:01:13] What culture can do, it dares to do, that is the slogan under which
[00:01:17] the Black List festival of banned and exiled
[00:01:20] artists is held. Our guest is actor Branislav
[00:01:23] Trifunović.
[00:01:26] Before the First Basic Court in Belgrade today, the accused was heard.
[00:01:30] for the attack on our team that happened on November 20th last
[00:01:33] year in front of the National Assembly building, on that occasion, the camera of
[00:01:37] our television was broken. How the hearing went will be reported by
[00:01:40] our reporter Veljko Pajević. Veljko,
[00:01:44] your interlocutor was present today at
[00:01:46] the trial.
[00:01:49] Exactly, Maja, our interlocutor Veran Matić
[00:01:52] was in the first basic court exactly, as you said and reminded
[00:01:56] our television viewers, all that happened, well, almost
[00:01:59] a year ago, from that unfortunate event on November
[00:02:03] 20th in front of the National Assembly when the television
[00:02:07] team of our television, our colleague,
[00:02:10] journalist Maja Nikolić and our
[00:02:13] television cameraman Ivan Ica Pavlović were attacked.
[00:02:16] Veran, you were in the first basic court today, how did it
[00:02:19] go? I will try to be at least
[00:02:23] a little like Ana Novaković as a court
[00:02:25] reporter. Um, it was, uhm...
[00:02:30] "as always, quite uninteresting our trials are such that
[00:02:34] uh simply uh
[00:02:36] the law on criminal procedure and everything else that defines them are not exactly
[00:02:40] uh uh attractive when it comes to the trial itself
[00:02:43] uh today the main trial was
[00:02:47] repeated because the judge was changed
[00:02:50] Ružica Savić is the new judge in this case, so
[00:02:54] the main trial, everything that happened before that is repeated, uh of course
[00:02:58] this time they..." only read
[00:03:02] uh what has already happened uh
[00:03:05] and uh it was
[00:03:07] always in such situations
[00:03:11] unpleasant uh the accused came
[00:03:14] together with two
[00:03:17] companions in T-shirts with the image of Ratko Mladić and
[00:03:21] with certain statements and slogans
[00:03:24] on those T-shirts and those were
[00:03:27] messages when something like that is done. then those are
[00:03:30] messages primarily to those who are harmed in this
[00:03:34] case Maja and Ivan were not
[00:03:37] not there luckily, of course, but I felt
[00:03:41] uncomfortable when uh when I saw that and when I saw
[00:03:44] that the accused was wearing Ratko Mladić's cap and that
[00:03:48] quote is uh related to Ratko Mladić
[00:03:51] and uh uh I interpreted
[00:03:54] it as a certain kind of new threat in this
[00:03:58] case as... We all know
[00:04:01] the N1 team was attacked in front of
[00:04:04] of the so-called "ćacilend"
[00:04:08] uh and what I can say now is that
[00:04:12] the accused uh Vladan Srtenović is his
[00:04:15] name uh has
[00:04:17] admitted
[00:04:19] uh that he admitted that he committed uh uh
[00:04:23] that act of assault but
[00:04:25] that uh by doing so he
[00:04:29] accepted guilt uh and uh
[00:04:32] he accepted that what he stated
[00:04:35] in his testimony to the prosecutor
[00:04:39] of the First Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in February this year is relevant, does that mean that
[00:04:43] he said nothing else today, that he said nothing else because his
[00:04:46] representative, uh
[00:04:49] lawyer, said that he would not answer questions from the court and
[00:04:53] questions from the defense, questions from the prosecution, and he
[00:04:56] confirmed that uh in that...
[00:05:00] principal statement, he said that he accepts guilt, but
[00:05:03] not as defined by
[00:05:07] uh uh the prosecutor, in this case, in that
[00:05:11] statement he uh... told the prosecutor
[00:05:14] that
[00:05:17] about ten or twenty days before this
[00:05:20] event, that is, on November 20th last year,
[00:05:23] he uh was coincidentally
[00:05:27] near "ćacilend" on the other
[00:05:31] side uh near the side related to the city assembly
[00:05:35] that the Insajder television crew filmed him there
[00:05:38] that he was allegedly mentioned there
[00:05:41] by name, although he was there by chance,
[00:05:44] then after three or four days he came there
[00:05:48] again, his aunt sent him to see uh how
[00:05:52] they were, I don't know, brother, sister, I don't know who, uh, and he
[00:05:55] then accidentally moved that fence,
[00:05:59] so it was filmed and then someone thought he was an usher, then
[00:06:02] he was hit by some block
[00:06:05] uh he was injured and that's
[00:06:09] all he can say about his own involvement. "then
[00:06:13] someone helped him there and then he
[00:06:16] uh uh realized that those who were in "ćacilend" were his friends
[00:06:20] and uh
[00:06:24] he loved them more than the others uh who
[00:06:28] gathered around that space uh on
[00:06:31] this day when he uh attacked
[00:06:34] the N1 team he uh
[00:06:37] allegedly uh was moving crates of apples
[00:06:40] between two tents that are located"
[00:06:43] or there in front of the city assembly and that they then went to buy something to
[00:06:47] eat, then he saw uh uh
[00:06:49] the team, he saw the camera, there was a tripod uh
[00:06:52] then that reminded him of this
[00:06:56] footage allegedly from Insajder television uh
[00:06:59] and uh he came and asked why
[00:07:03] you were filming, allegedly the camera itself fell, so he even took
[00:07:06] it and got a little angry and threw it
[00:07:10] back on the floor, so that's in...
[00:07:12] some way his, his story in this case is that he was
[00:07:16] angry, now this story of his representative
[00:07:19] also follows that today he asked
[00:07:22] for a psychiatric evaluation to be done
[00:07:25] at that moment, now I don't know how that's possible
[00:07:28] his lawyer is asking, his lawyer, that uh how is it
[00:07:32] possible to do it in reverse, but first we have to go back again, I don't know
[00:07:36] what the introduction looked like, uh the person who attacked
[00:07:39] your team was convicted of murder.
[00:07:43] "first to 35 years, and then it was reduced to 15 years, I think he served
[00:07:47] 10 years, then after being released from prison in 2023,
[00:07:50] he was convicted of violent behavior,
[00:07:53] that is, uh he was on the run uh when it comes
[00:07:57] to uh that violent behavior in Arilje,
[00:08:00] beating someone and uh then he was arrested in
[00:08:04] Croatia and brought here, he was serving his
[00:08:07] sentence, I think it's almost coincident
[00:08:10] with his release from serving."
[00:08:13] that sentence uh followed and this series
[00:08:16] of events followed, that is, this violence
[00:08:19] against the N1 team, so what we
[00:08:22] could see today
[00:08:25] at the trial itself is that
[00:08:29] the representatives of uh Maja
[00:08:33] Nikolić and Ivan and N1 uh insisted on
[00:08:36] the fact that uh uh
[00:08:39] those witnesses who were there should also be heard, that is, not... only
[00:08:42] them, but also those who uh were at that
[00:08:46] place uh who witnessed this attack, so
[00:08:49] in addition to the cameras uh
[00:08:53] that certainly filmed this event, they should also be witnesses, the defense counsel
[00:08:56] uh of the accused in this case
[00:08:59] opposed this, because uh in that case
[00:09:03] it would mean that it expands, that it goes beyond the scope
[00:09:07] of uh the indictment, that is, the criminal offense that
[00:09:11] uh was prosecuted. "here presented in the indictment, you mentioned that his lawyer
[00:09:15] requested that psychiatric
[00:09:18] examination for an event that happened almost a year
[00:09:22] ago, how did the court react, is that an official
[00:09:25] proposal from his representative, an official proposal the court will decide later
[00:09:29] about it as well as about all other proposals
[00:09:30] in
[00:09:34] his representative said that there were several
[00:09:37] uh health interventions in the meantime uh
[00:09:41] the accused is under..." house arrest and
[00:09:43] um the defense, that is,
[00:09:47] the prosecutors, your representatives, still requested
[00:09:50] that medical documentation be provided, if such a thing
[00:09:53] actually happened, however, I think that
[00:09:57] that is again some tactic in this
[00:10:00] case that will only contribute to
[00:10:03] this court process being prolonged, tell us,
[00:10:07] you mention our colleagues, their lawyers were there today in
[00:10:11] the courtroom, when is it... expected that Maja and Ivan
[00:10:14] will be called before the court? Maja uh
[00:10:18] already the judge
[00:10:21] said that Maja Nikolić would be examined
[00:10:24] next. And November 20th is
[00:10:27] scheduled for that hearing, that is exactly the anniversary of the
[00:10:31] attack, that is, yes, that is the hearing at 1 PM,
[00:10:35] so only a few hours from the anniversary,
[00:10:38] I don't think it's uh
[00:10:42] intentional and I think it's more of a coincidence, but
[00:10:46] coincidences have happened many times before, I remember a situation where a trial was
[00:10:50] scheduled against
[00:10:53] the Slavko Ćuruvija Foundation. It was exactly on the day Slavko Ćuruvija was killed and so
[00:10:57] on, so anything can happen, then we can say that it's no longer
[00:11:01] a coincidence, Velan, when you mentioned that the accused was
[00:11:05] wearing a T-shirt with the image of Ratko Mladić and a cap,
[00:11:09] was that in front of the courtroom or did he enter the
[00:11:12] courtroom like that? Well, he I, I think I sent
[00:11:16] a photo to the newsroom so I think it will be
[00:11:20] shown during this uh
[00:11:22] broadcast, that was before entering the courtroom. He even
[00:11:26] came in a jacket and then took off his jacket and left it in front of the courtroom so he would stay in just the
[00:11:29] T-shirt so that those
[00:11:33] messages on the front could be seen, did
[00:11:36] the judge react to the way he was dressed? No, that's
[00:11:40] shocking to me that there was no reaction even though it was completely evident that
[00:11:44] it was a demonstration uh on the front of that T-shirt
[00:11:47] besides uh uh Ratko Mladić's cap, the convicted war
[00:11:50] criminal, we always have to
[00:11:53] emphasize that... there was a message, from your struggle
[00:11:56] our freedom was born, on the back
[00:12:00] of that T-shirt, besides uh, the image
[00:12:03] of Ratko Mladić, there was also the image of Patriarch Pavle and
[00:12:07] allegedly his quote, uh, a man is
[00:12:10] stronger dead than an inhumane
[00:12:13] person alive, I watched that the whole time
[00:12:16] of the trial and I truly felt it as a threat that was
[00:12:20] directed at everyone who in this
[00:12:22] case represented independent
[00:12:25] journalism, professional journalism, reporting, because the prosecutor
[00:12:29] uh uh defined this attack not only as destruction
[00:12:33] of equipment, a camera uh uh, but as an attack on free journalism,
[00:12:36] free reporting, so what happened, what we could all
[00:12:40] see, is not just an aggressive attack and not just
[00:12:43] a violent act in that area, but it is precisely
[00:12:46] an attack on free journalism, which, as we
[00:12:49] see every day, such attacks from that
[00:12:53] day, and the day before... that uh are multiplying
[00:12:57] and uh with the aim of absolutely preventing
[00:13:00] impartial and professional reporting, especially again
[00:13:03] in these days now which are extremely important and decisive for
[00:13:07] the future of Serbia. Veran, thank you for the conversation,
[00:13:11] and thank you, thank you for uh
[00:13:14] sticking together as a newsroom and to the whole
[00:13:17] group for being so supportive of each other
[00:13:20] and I think we must not forget such
[00:13:23] events in... those bigger perhaps events and that
[00:13:27] we must always stand up for our female and male colleagues, because
[00:13:30] I can only imagine how dramatic that secondary victimization
[00:13:34] is for uh female and male journalists like
[00:13:38] Maja and Ivan were in this case in such situations when
[00:13:41] a trio appears uniformed
[00:13:44] in such a way that really represents
[00:13:48] a horrifying message from our uh immediate immediate
[00:13:51] past. We heard Veran Matić. from
[00:13:55] Anema, to conclude, Maja, this broadcast after
[00:13:59] today's hearing and questioning of the accused
[00:14:02] on November 20th, exactly on the day when the attack on two
[00:14:06] of our colleagues happened last year, there will be
[00:14:10] a hearing at which our
[00:14:13] Maja will testify,
[00:14:35] has initiated a case, a pre-investigation procedure is underway against Aleksandar
[00:14:39] Šapić due to the existence of grounds for suspicion that he committed criminal acts
[00:14:42] of grievous bodily harm and violent behavior, the prosecution states for
[00:14:46] N1. So far, in the procedure, the public prosecutor
[00:14:50] has ordered police officers to obtain and
[00:14:53] seize video recordings from all available security
[00:14:56] surveillance cameras that could have recorded the incident,
[00:15:00] also, the urgent center was asked to provide complete medical
[00:15:04] documentation for all other participants in the event, while
[00:15:08] for the injured party Tatjana Mićić, the public prosecutor again requested
[00:15:11] the provision of complete medical documentation, as stated in the prosecution's
[00:15:15] response.
[00:15:18] The leader of the "Kreni Promeni" movement, Savo Manojlović, said that
[00:15:21] a session of the city parliament is scheduled for Tuesday, at which
[00:15:25] the dismissal of Mayor Aleksandar
[00:15:28] Šapić will be discussed. Opposition councilors submitted a request
[00:15:32] on October 7th to convene an extraordinary session
[00:15:35] of the Belgrade City Assembly with a proposal for Šapić's
[00:15:38] dismissal. The initiative was launched after an incident in which
[00:15:41] Šapić attacked councilwoman Tatjana
[00:15:44] Mićić.
[00:15:48] I think the progressives are planning to remove
[00:15:50] him.
[00:15:54] into the projection itself, no one expects that he will
[00:15:57] be voted out at the session itself, if public
[00:16:00] pressure is sufficiently strong and public
[00:16:03] opinion polls show it, an attempt will be made to influence
[00:16:07] Aleksandar Šapić to resign, of course, the question is
[00:16:11] what compromising information he has on the other side, whether in
[00:16:14] this election cycle the government will be able to
[00:16:18] our clear message to be is that Aleksandar Šapić cannot
[00:16:22] be the mayor of this city and we demand that things
[00:16:25] be cleared up. Aleksandar Vučić hereby becomes
[00:16:29] the political protector of a bully Aleksandar
[00:16:31] Šapić. A protest was held in front of the Ministry of Education
[00:16:35] by employees of the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš who have not received
[00:16:39] their salary for almost 80 days. The protest was covered by our Nada
[00:16:43] Živanović. It's the 84th day,
[00:16:47] emphasize the employees of the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš, since
[00:16:51] they haven't received their salaries. That's why today they came to Belgrade,
[00:16:54] more precisely to Nemanjina 22 in front of the Ministry of Education.
[00:16:58] There they said, "We won't give up philosophy." The gathering started at 12
[00:17:01] o'clock with speeches by employees of the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš.
[00:17:05] They emphasize that all the power of the state apparatus is directed at this
[00:17:09] institution, but despite that, they add, classes and activities
[00:17:12] at the faculty have been ongoing without interruption the whole time.
[00:17:15] The Faculty of Philosophy is operating at full capacity,
[00:17:19] not at 100, but at 150%
[00:17:22] strength. In addition to teaching and non-teaching
[00:17:25] activities, we have been forced for these 11
[00:17:28] months to also do independent
[00:17:31] research work that connected us with
[00:17:35] students and non-teaching staff because we are
[00:17:39] forced to deal with the law, to
[00:17:42] study laws, they reminded that the Ministry of Education
[00:17:46] has not published the decision that suspended funds for the Faculty of Philosophy
[00:17:50] in Niš, for that reason
[00:17:53] a copy of the Law on Education
[00:17:57] to remind the authorities, they emphasize, of the obligation to respect
[00:18:00] the law. After a protest walk, the participants of the gathering arrived at the Government
[00:18:04] of Serbia where they once again handed over
[00:18:07] the same copy. We come to work, we work with students, we teach
[00:18:11] classes, exams, we do all those activities that we usually
[00:18:15] do. So, we work normally. If
[00:18:18] normal even exists as a category with which we can
[00:18:22] describe what has been happening to us for some time now. They recall the problem
[00:18:25] with the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš
[00:18:29] establish the Faculty of Serbian Studies and separate three departments
[00:18:32] from the Niš Faculty of Philosophy, which the University in Niš does not agree to. Since
[00:18:36] pressures, and as of today, they have once
[00:18:40] again stated in Belgrade, "We won't give up philosophy in Niš." The gathering
[00:18:44] ended in front of the Serbian government, and the employees of the Faculty of Philosophy in
[00:18:47] Niš pointed out that they hope that they will receive some kind
[00:18:51] of response from the Ministry of Justice. Nada
[00:18:53] Živanović, N1 Belgrade.
[00:18:57] Students of the Jovan Jovanović Zmaj Gymnasium in Novi Sad marked
[00:19:00] their return to the building of that secondary school. Before the start of classes,
[00:19:03] the Choir of the Jovanović Gymnasium sang the school anthem, and a statement was read.
[00:19:07] A statement in which it was pointed out that information from yesterday's plenum
[00:19:11] of students appeared in tabloids that students
[00:19:14] were spied on. Parents accused Mićina and
[00:19:18] Stojković of abusing minor students for
[00:19:21] promociju Srpske napredne
[00:19:22] Party.
[00:19:25] I hope that soon we will also celebrate the return
[00:19:29] of over 60 teachers and professional associates who were dismissed.
[00:19:33] This is our way of celebrating our return to Jovanović's
[00:19:37] and... the director's we saw with this wholehearted
[00:19:40] help from Mayor Mićina in their pre-election campaign where
[00:19:44] our minor students were used as decoration for their return to
[00:20:00] family. I often had trouble falling asleep. The next day
[00:20:03] I was exhausted and without energy. Falling asleep quickly is very important.
[00:20:07] And now I can fall asleep easily again, with Dr. Theiss, melatonin
[00:20:11] sleep spray, I feel the difference at work and in my free
[00:20:15] time. Try Dr. Theiss melatonin biphasic tablets for
[00:20:18] quality peaceful sleep.

[00:20:34] made sure I ate quality food, now it's the other way around. Because

[00:25:48] Probotanik. Healthy
[00:25:50] family,
[00:26:18] to observe the elections in Serbia, if the invitation was sent late, what will
[00:26:22] be the mandate and scope of that mission, we will ask Nemanja
[00:26:25] Tudorović, editor of the European Western
[00:26:28] Balkans contemporary politics portal, in the live show.
[00:26:32] How will Serbs from Kosovo vote on October 25th? There are ways
[00:26:36] to resist the pressures and blackmail they are exposed to for a live day,
[00:26:39] Momčilo Trajković from the Serbian National
[00:26:43] Forum will speak.
[00:26:45] What culture can do, it dares to do. That is the slogan under which the
[00:26:49] Black List festival of forbidden and
[00:26:52] exiled artists is held. Our guest is actor Branislav
[00:26:55] Trifunović.
[00:27:04] We enter the elections with 106,000 registered voters
[00:27:08] abroad. Serbia will make history by having some citizens
[00:27:11] abroad having to vote according to the
[00:27:14] voting time in Serbia. For example, the diaspora in America
[00:27:17] and Australia will have to vote during the night. There are problems
[00:27:21] in European countries, in the Netherlands a large number of voters will vote in
[00:27:25] only one polling station.
[00:27:29] The final choice according to the unified voter list is 1,
[00:27:32] 934 voters, which is almost
[00:27:35] four times more than in the previous elections from 2023.
[00:27:39] All our voters are assigned to one
[00:27:42] polling station, which is the embassy in The Hague,
[00:27:46] which has been the practice in previous elections. Of course, with
[00:27:49] all the disappointment, we are still in a relatively good
[00:27:53] position compared to other diasporas and above all
[00:27:56] we are very satisfied and proud of the record number of registered
[00:28:00] voters. Our community is very organized, so we are already
[00:28:04] connecting and will travel together, by public
[00:28:07] transport, by private transport, connecting people who
[00:28:10] need transport or accommodation, we help each
[00:28:13] other as we can. What is uncertain is that
[00:28:17] there will be very large crowds and long waits because our
[00:28:20] embassy has very little space for voting,
[00:28:24] so at the same time we are organizing a festival of
[00:28:27] freedom, we want to celebrate that
[00:28:31] holiday of democracy on election day. But at the same time show solidarity
[00:28:34] with voters in Serbia and other diasporas, so some
[00:28:38] of our voters will appear in pajamas to
[00:28:42] show solidarity with voters in Australia and
[00:28:45] America, besides that we have organized events
[00:28:49] - to animate voters
[00:28:52] as well as their families who come with them, because it is important
[00:28:56] for us to persevere in that long wait in the
[00:28:59] cold Dutch autumn.
[00:29:02] "The mission of the European Parliament comes to monitor the elections in Serbia," said for N1
[00:29:06] MEP from the Green Group Vladimir Prebilić,
[00:29:09] the President of the Assembly and the President Ana Brnabić invited the European
[00:29:13] Parliament to send a mission to the elections in Serbia
[00:29:16] after the deadline expired. This is
[00:29:19] a message in itself, because if a
[00:29:23] call is sent in this way, it's not very good,
[00:29:26] but all in all, the call came and the
[00:29:30] mission, the observation mission of the European Parliament,
[00:29:33] will come to Serbia, that the European
[00:29:36] Parliament and the Commission, that is, allegedly the Commissioner for Enlargement
[00:29:40] Marta Kos, was clear that a lot needs to change,
[00:29:43] meaning the legal framework in which the
[00:29:46] elections in Serbia will be held, one of them was that REM
[00:29:50] should do its job, it is clear to everyone that in this situation
[00:29:53] it cannot do its job, we demanded that the
[00:29:57] voter lists be cleaned up, none of that happened, so there is
[00:30:01] a lot. and I sent and Benčka,
[00:30:05] so the Venice Commission sent
[00:30:08] many of those things that need to be adopted to make the
[00:30:11] conditions for elections in Serbia
[00:30:15] better than they are now, but none of that was
[00:30:19] noticed, we are not happy about that, but what is
[00:30:22] is, I can only say that we will carefully
[00:30:25] and thoroughly monitor everything that is happening now in Serbia
[00:30:29] and when the report comes.
[00:30:32] So the reports that will put everything on
[00:30:36] the table, then everything will be reflected
[00:30:39] there, but it is clear to us, it is better
[00:30:42] to have elections than not to have elections in Serbia
[00:30:45] at all, I really feel bad that such things are
[00:30:49] happening, but that only strengthens all of us
[00:30:52] that the conditions under which the
[00:30:56] elections in Serbia will be held are not as fair as they should be.
