[00:00:05] purposes and that the works on
[00:00:21] Good evening, you are watching N1 news, I am Maja Žežilj, this is the news
[00:00:25] of the day,
[00:00:27] get lost, you idiot, what's wrong.
[00:00:31] no, the mayor of Belgrade suspected of inflicting
[00:00:34] serious bodily harm and violent
[00:00:37] behavior, the prosecution confirmed to N1.
[00:00:40] On the eve of the assembly session on Šapić's dismissal, Belgrade
[00:00:44] was plastered with posters.
[00:00:47] Aleksandar Vučić hereby becomes the political protector of a thug
[00:00:51] Aleksandar
[00:00:51] Šapić.
[00:00:55] In today's news these news
[00:00:57] topics.
[00:01:01] Bravo
[00:01:01] children,
[00:01:05] the return of students to the building of Jovina Gymnasium, in
[00:01:09] the shadow of claims of wiretapping.
[00:01:13] Among other things, you recorded underage students who were
[00:01:17] present. We live in a police state, in
[00:01:20] a total dictatorship, in which free speech
[00:01:24] no longer lives
[00:01:27] Jovanović Zmaj lasted. "Students anywhere. The European Parliament mission
[00:01:29] is coming to monitor the elections in Serbia, even though their invitation
[00:01:32] arrived after the deadline
[00:01:34] expired, this is a message in
[00:01:38] itself, because if an invitation is sent
[00:01:41] in this way, it is not very
[00:01:43] good, the attacker of the N1
[00:01:47] team came to the trial in a T-shirt with Ratko Mladić's
[00:01:51] cap, I watched it throughout the
[00:01:55] trial and I truly felt it as a
[00:01:58] threat. Sreteno. stuck to his earlier statement in
[00:02:02] which he admitted guilt, but not as the prosecution
[00:02:06] defines it.
[00:02:08] And tomorrow it will be cold, sunny in the north, and rain
[00:02:12] is possible in the southeast.
[00:02:13] In the middle of the election campaign,
[00:02:23] the progressive mayor of Belgrade is suspected of two
[00:02:26] criminal offenses. Inflicting serious bodily harm
[00:02:30] and violent behavior, the prosecution charges him with this after
[00:02:33] an incident in which a city councilor's nose was broken,
[00:02:37] from the Third Basic Public Prosecutor's Office, N1
[00:02:40] confirmed that a case has been formed and that a pre-investigation
[00:02:44] procedure is underway against Aleksandar Šapić. In
[00:02:47] the current course of the procedure, the public prosecutor
[00:02:49] ordered the police to obtain and seize video recordings from
[00:02:53] all available security surveillance cameras that could
[00:02:56] have recorded the incident.
[00:02:58] the case of the Niš Faculty of Philosophy, on The Urgent Center was asked to provide
[00:03:01] medical documentation for all other participants in the event,
[00:03:05] while for the injured Tatjana Mićić the public prosecutor again requested
[00:03:09] the submission of complete medical documentation,
[00:03:13] the prosecution states for N1. Aleksandar Šapić was
[00:03:16] questioned as a suspect, the injured
[00:03:19] Tatjana Mićić was interrogated as a witness,
[00:03:23] the prosecution states and announces that it will take all other necessary actions
[00:03:26] to establish all... facts and circumstances relevant
[00:03:30] for making a public prosecutorial decision,
[00:03:34] in the meantime, a session of the city
[00:03:38] assembly has been scheduled for tomorrow at the request of the opposition
[00:03:41] which is seeking the dismissal of Aleksandar Šapić. On the eve
[00:03:45] of that session, Belgrade woke up plastered with posters with
[00:03:48] the inscription "United Thugs", on which
[00:03:52] the bearer of the electoral list United Serbia Aleksandar
[00:03:55] Vučić and the mayor of Belgrade Aleksandar Šapić are shown. Over
[00:03:59] Vučić's face, the inscription "protector" is highlighted,
[00:04:02] while over the face and name of Aleksandar Šapić stands the word
[00:04:06] "Thug". Šapić denied the accusations, claiming that
[00:04:09] he did not hit the opponent, but that he defended himself, and Aleksandar
[00:04:13] Vučić assessed that Šapić, as a public official, had to step aside and
[00:04:17] bear responsibility. The "Move, Change" movement, whose
[00:04:20] councilwoman was injured, insists on
[00:04:23] accountability, and the Center for Local Self-Government has information
[00:04:26] that Šapić's dismissal will not be decided tomorrow because the ruling
[00:04:30] majority will not provide a quorum.
[00:04:33] Aleksandar Šapić cannot be
[00:04:37] the mayor of this city and we demand that things be cleared up.
[00:04:41] Aleksandar Vučić hereby becomes the political
[00:04:44] protector of a thug Aleksandar Šapić, but we want to
[00:04:48] send a clear message to the people who vote for
[00:04:51] SPS. If SPS does not vote for this initiative
[00:04:55] of the opposition, they show that there is no
[00:04:59] difference between them and SNS
[00:05:02] in the campaign. The list United Serbia
[00:05:05] saw another person
[00:05:08] the international investigation of electoral irregularities, on Instagram. Milan Radojčić, in the company of
[00:05:11] former president Aleksandar Vučić, appeared at an election
[00:05:14] rally in Kragujevac, even though he is still under investigation in the case
[00:05:18] of the armed attack in Banjska, the Higher Public
[00:05:21] Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade confirmed to Radio Free Europe that the investigation against
[00:05:24] Radojčić is still ongoing. Radojčić had previously admitted that
[00:05:28] he was at the head of an armed group of Serbs that carried out the attack in
[00:05:32] Banjska when a Kosovo policeman was killed, and then in
[00:05:35] an exchange of fire, three Serbs. Radojčić
[00:05:38] was previously ordered to report to the police twice a month,
[00:05:42] the Higher Public Court in Belgrade did not
[00:05:46] respond to Radio Free Europe's inquiry as to whether this
[00:05:49] measure is still in force.
[00:05:52] And in the continuation of the news,
[00:06:01] this story.
[00:06:03] Professors of the Niš Faculty of Philosophy
[00:06:07] 84 days without pay.
[00:06:09] Faculties of Philosophy are targets,
[00:06:14] centers of resistance, the burden of revenge
[00:06:18] has been placed on them. And before that, about the return
[00:06:21] of students of Jovina Gymnasium
[00:06:25] to the school building, but also about accusations of
[00:06:29] wiretapping. After more than a year
[00:06:33] that the works on
[00:06:36] the dome of the Novi Sad Gymnasium Jovan
[00:06:39] returned to the building of that school, however, this solemn
[00:06:43] moment remained in the shadow of a new scandal, students
[00:06:47] who are in the plenum of Jovina Gymnasium claim that they were wiretapped and that
[00:06:50] transcripts of their conversations were published yesterday
[00:06:54] in pro-government media, parents of students
[00:06:57] announce that they will seek criminal responsibility for all who
[00:07:00] participated in that,
[00:07:04] for the fellowship..."
[00:07:05] of our ancestors,
[00:07:10] gymnasium, old
[00:07:14] new, hear
[00:07:16] the grateful
[00:07:19] children's voice. Whoever read yesterday the online edition
[00:07:23] of the Novi Sad newspaper Dnevnik, knew
[00:07:27] what the return of students to Jovina Gymnasium would look like after more
[00:07:30] than a year. The local newspaper, namely, published that after
[00:07:34] singing the school anthem a ceremonial ribbon cutting
[00:07:38] would follow. And here it is, bravo
[00:07:41] children, the daily newspaper, Dnevnik
[00:07:44] knew
[00:07:48] that before the students entered the school, a panel would be put up with
[00:07:52] the names of dismissed and suspended professors of that
[00:07:55] gymnasium, for which they hold the director Radivoj P
[00:07:58] Stojković responsible, and there are 52 of them, and these are
[00:08:01] their names, the Novi Sad Dnevnik learned that a statement
[00:08:05] would be read at the gathering, it just didn't know that the
[00:08:09] statement would say this: we were
[00:08:12] wiretapped, sentences written in the texts
[00:08:16] of the so-called media were quoted, identically
[00:08:19] written as the students spoke them, which indicates
[00:08:22] only one thing: you recorded,
[00:08:26] among other things, you also recorded underage students who were
[00:08:29] present, and they were present in the premises of the Local Community in
[00:08:32] Liman 3 where the graduates of Jovina held a plenum at which
[00:08:36] they discussed the details of today's return to school, but...
[00:08:40] The journalist who writes the text makes a cardinal mistake, so in
[00:08:44] the text whose title is "Blockading students
[00:08:47] of Jovina Gymnasium announce a performance on the occasion of their return to
[00:08:50] school desks", in the first paragraph the careless author
[00:08:54] adds that with the performance the students want to present their return to the gymnasium
[00:08:57] as their victory, even though
[00:09:00] they are, he states, aware that the re-commissioning of the building
[00:09:04] is a move by the current authorities in the context of their pre-election
[00:09:08] campaign. They
[00:09:11] decided uh, they shouldn't have published it,
[00:09:14] but here we are, I mean, we caught
[00:09:17] it, we noticed it, we screenshot
[00:09:21] it, we have it as evidence, based on which
[00:09:24] we, as parents, will probably react,
[00:09:28] because based on that sentence, we realized that someone
[00:09:30] was eavesdropping on our children, even minors, there were
[00:09:34] many minor children among them. Their
[00:09:38] suspicion is further confirmed by the express deletion of the original news from
[00:09:41] the portal... of the daily newspaper and the publication of a new one, in which there
[00:09:45] was no longer the sentence that Jovina Gymnasium was opening as part of the pre-election
[00:09:48] campaign of the current government, and the students were no longer
[00:09:52] blockaders. We live in a police state, in
[00:09:56] a total dictatorship in which free
[00:09:59] speech no longer lives anywhere, neither privately nor publicly,
[00:10:03] because if they can wiretap minors and
[00:10:06] provide pro-government media, then
[00:10:09] they can wiretap each of us in our homes and absolutely. absolutely
[00:10:13] they will answer one day for dealing with such things and for violating
[00:10:17] basic human rights, that is why the persecuted professors and
[00:10:21] parents of students of Jovina Gymnasium have no,
[00:10:24] they say, the slightest doubt that the children
[00:10:27] were misused for political
[00:10:30] the dome, because of which the students were expelled from school, could have been
[00:10:34] finished earlier, but, they say, the pre-election campaign
[00:10:37] was chosen as the timing. I had the honor to address
[00:10:41] the first-grade students of this gymnasium,
[00:10:44] just now, and I saw on their faces how radiant they were to be
[00:10:48] back in their own place, in their own facility, we enabled that for them
[00:10:52] through joint work with the director, the provincial government, and
[00:10:55] I repeat, this building is now absolutely safe and secure
[00:10:58] and students can, to my great satisfaction,
[00:11:02] return to school from Monday. It is clear that
[00:11:05] Jovina Gymnasium got a building, but
[00:11:09] not yet its soul, we are sure that in
[00:11:12] the light of today's victory, other things will happen
[00:11:15] and that our colleagues will return to school and finally
[00:11:19] create a symbiosis with their students and give the gymnasium the life it
[00:11:23] had and deserved. Maja
[00:11:25] Nikolić 11, Belgrade.
[00:11:28] Professors of the Faculty of Philosophy in
[00:11:31] Niš believe that they have done nothing to deserve what is happening
[00:11:34] to them. Namely, for a full 84 days they
[00:11:37] have not received a salary, even though they regularly
[00:11:40] hold lectures. They came to Belgrade to warn
[00:11:44] the authorities that what is being done to them
[00:11:47] is illegal.
[00:11:48] From Niš to Belgrade, more precisely to
[00:11:51] Nemanjina 22, and below the Ministry of Education building,
[00:11:55] employees of the Niš Faculty of Philosophy arrived, they held a gathering
[00:11:58] because they claim it has been 84 days since they received
[00:12:02] their salaries. Just as long, but also despite that, they add,
[00:12:06] teaching and activities at the faculty have been going on continuously without
[00:12:09] interruption. We come to work, we work with students, we teach
[00:12:13] classes, exams, we deal with all those activities that we usually
[00:12:16] do. So, we work normally. If
[00:12:20] "normal" even exists as a category
[00:12:24] with which we can describe what has been happening to us for some time, and what has been happening
[00:12:27] since the moment the government launched an initiative to establish the Faculty
[00:12:31] of Serbian Studies, by separating three departments from the Niš
[00:12:34] Faculty of Philosophy, they emphasize is illegal, because
[00:12:37] they claim the Ministry of Education has not yet published an official decision
[00:12:41] that suspended funds for this faculty. In addition to
[00:12:45] teaching and non-teaching activities, we
[00:12:48] have been forced for these 11
[00:12:51] months to also do independent and
[00:12:55] research work that connected us with
[00:12:58] students and non-teaching staff, because we are
[00:13:02] forced to deal with the law, to
[00:13:05] study laws. A copy of the one on higher
[00:13:08] education was handed over by the delegation of employees today to the Ministry of
[00:13:12] Education, after a protest march and the Government of Serbia. All
[00:13:15] in order to, they emphasize, remind the authorities of the obligation to respect and
[00:13:19] implement this law, especially in
[00:13:23] which, as they state... the full force of the state
[00:13:27] apparatus has come down, faculties of philosophy are
[00:13:29] targets, centers of resistance, the focus of revenge
[00:13:33] has been placed on them, the time for such a ministry
[00:13:37] is running out, there is no free Serbia without
[00:13:41] free Niš, without a free university and without
[00:13:44] a free philosophy department. That is why
[00:13:47] today in Belgrade they once again say, we will not give up
[00:13:50] philosophy, with the demand that all employees be finally paid
[00:13:54] after more than two months. Nada
[00:13:57] Živanović, N1
[00:13:58] Belgrade.
[00:14:06] In the continuation of the election topics. The European Parliament delegation
[00:14:10] will monitor the upcoming parliamentary elections in Serbia,
[00:14:13] although it received the invitation after the deadline. That
[00:14:17] is a message in itself for MEPs.
[00:14:21] Not at five to two, but rather
[00:14:23] at five past twelve, Serbia sent an invitation to the European
[00:14:27] Parliament to send an observer mission for the upcoming snap
[00:14:31] parliamentary elections. The deadline for that expired on the eighth, the invitation from
[00:14:34] the acting president's cabinet arrived on October 10th,
[00:14:38] after the MEPs said they were ready to wait for it until
[00:14:42] the 12th. Is this just an academic delay?
[00:14:45] This is a message in itself, because if
[00:14:49] an invitation is sent in this way,
[00:14:52] it is not very good. But all in
[00:14:55] all, the invitation came and the mission will come,
[00:14:59] the observation mission of the European Parliament to Serbia.
[00:15:03] The observation mission of the European Parliament came to Serbia for the last time in
[00:15:06] December 2023. To
[00:15:09] monitor the then also snap parliamentary elections.
[00:15:12] After those elections, there was a
[00:15:15] continuous and longer interest
[00:15:19] of the European Parliament in everything that is happening in Serbia.
[00:15:23] After that observation mission, there were resolutions on Serbia
[00:15:27] that referred to the state of electoral
[00:15:29] conditions. Nevertheless,
[00:15:33] which the European Parliament called for in its resolution of February 8,
[00:15:35] 2024,
[00:15:37] and on which the opposition placed great hopes, was
[00:15:41] never carried out. The question then arises, what are the real
[00:15:45] limits of the observation mission from Strasbourg? The Council of Europe and
[00:15:48] the European Parliament with their observation missions,
[00:15:52] which are primarily
[00:15:56] uh these, I would say
[00:15:59] uh political
[00:16:01] missions, they serve, in a way, to
[00:16:05] additionally, first and foremost,
[00:16:07] strengthen and raise the visibility of those
[00:16:11] expert audit findings in relation to the audit
[00:16:15] whose report itself gives additional legitimacy. The mission
[00:16:18] of the European Parliament, according to N1's interlocutor, has
[00:16:22] certain advantages, which was evident during the 2023
[00:16:25] elections. The resolution was in January or so or
[00:16:29] early February 24, which is relatively fast compared, for example, to
[00:16:33] the final ODIHR report which came much later.
[00:16:36] Therefore, they have some kind of speed, that's the problem of the Serbian authorities,
[00:16:40] so they can react quickly, I say, and they can
[00:16:44] in their first address perhaps have
[00:16:47] sharper assessments than ODIHR itself. Vladimir
[00:16:51] Prebilić, an MEP from the Green group, has already stated to N1 that nothing
[00:16:54] of what the European Parliament, and also Commissioner Marta
[00:16:57] Kos, asked for, namely functional and regulated voter lists, has
[00:17:01] been fulfilled. We are not happy about that, but what
[00:17:03] is... "Yes, yes, I can only
[00:17:07] say that we will closely and thoroughly monitor
[00:17:10] everything that is happening now in Serbia and when
[00:17:14] a report comes, meaning a report that
[00:17:17] will lay everything on the table, then all of that
[00:17:21] will be reflected there," he emphasizes that Brussels is already monitoring the course
[00:17:24] of the pre-election campaign, which MEPs will monitor, the elections
[00:17:28] in Serbia are not yet known, however, it is certain that there will be
[00:17:32] seven of them. Tamara Stojanović, N1, Belgrade.
[00:17:35] Exactly at noon, the printing
[00:17:39] of 6 million 450,523
[00:17:42] ballots for the upcoming
[00:17:45] snap parliamentary elections began. That number
[00:17:49] caused particular public attention because many
[00:17:52] wondered how many of us there are in total when
[00:17:55] there are so many registered voters?
[00:17:58] The elections have entered
[00:18:02] the Gutenberg phase. Under the watchful eye of the RIK,
[00:18:06] the first ballot was printed, a purple one,
[00:18:09] the right choice for this October 25th, because they say that
[00:18:13] purple has a calming effect, lowers
[00:18:16] blood pressure and heart rate. 6 million
[00:18:20] 450,523 ballots will be printed,
[00:18:23] because
[00:18:25] that is how many voters there are, and that number almost coincides with
[00:18:29] the total number of inhabitants, which raises suspicion of so-called
[00:18:32] phantom voters, because it turns out that there are almost
[00:18:36] no minors in Serbia. We are guided exclusively
[00:18:39] by the decision of the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government on
[00:18:43] the conclusion of the voter list, so that is the number of voters that was
[00:18:46] delivered to us by the decision of the Ministry, we have determined it
[00:18:49] to be that number of ballots that are being printed. The opposition,
[00:18:53] non-governmental organizations, international observers point to numerous
[00:18:56] irregularities concerning the voter list. Among other things,
[00:19:00] in several tens of municipalities in Serbia, the number of voters even
[00:19:04] exceeds the number of inhabitants. However, the fact is that the voter
[00:19:07] list includes citizens who live outside the country,
[00:19:11] while the census exclusively registers only people who live in Serbia.
[00:19:15] So, which number of voters best corresponds to the current situation
[00:19:18] on the ground? We estimate that the total number of
[00:19:22] adult residents living in Serbia who can actually
[00:19:25] go to the polls is around 5.1
[00:19:29] million. It is possible that we are slightly wrong, it is possible that it is 5.2, it is possible that it is slightly
[00:19:32] less, but that is approximately the number. And voters from
[00:19:36] the diaspora are making a historical leap, there are almost three
[00:19:39] times more of them compared to the previous elections, 102 were registered,
[00:19:43] some estimates say even 111,000.
[00:19:47] This reflects the mobilization that is happening in Serbia,
[00:19:51] the student movement and students have established
[00:19:54] good connections in the past year and a half with our diaspora
[00:19:57] and where that desire of citizens
[00:20:01] who left Serbia to participate in the elections has
[00:20:05] increased.
[00:20:08] Students claim that there would be even more voters from abroad
[00:20:11] if there wasn't, as they say, obstruction and
[00:20:13] filtering by the relevant ministries and
[00:20:17] the RIK. That's why they filed complaints that were rejected. All
[00:20:20] of this is in the process of being resolved before the Republican
[00:20:23] Electoral Commission. This can be monitored by the public, of course. I would
[00:20:27] not want to comment now on
[00:20:29] the eventual
[00:20:31] consequences of adopting or not adopting such proposals,
[00:20:35] given that it concerns, therefore, the right to vote, which is guaranteed
[00:20:38] by law. The student list announced that due to the poor organization of voting
[00:20:42] abroad, it will file a complaint with the administrative court. Nenad
[00:20:46] Nešić, N1, Belgrade.
[00:20:52] The last opportunity for the European Serbia list
[00:20:55] to act politically responsibly and honorably and to
[00:20:59] withdraw from the electoral process in favor of the student
[00:21:02] list has been missed, stated the deputy president of the Freedom and Justice Party Borko
[00:21:06] Stefanović on the X network. In the post,
[00:21:09] he states that the consequences for the Freedom and Justice Party will be
[00:21:12] serious because it is gambling with its reputation. Insisting
[00:21:16] on participating in the elections as a separate opposition list
[00:21:20] in these circumstances and after the failure
[00:21:22] to unite the entire opposition, is a serious mistake
[00:21:26] and a misunderstanding of the social atmosphere and the political will of the citizens
[00:21:29] of Serbia, states Stefanović, adding that
[00:21:32] the only interest is the overthrow of Vučić's regime and calls on
[00:21:36] everyone to go to the polls in as large a number as possible and support
[00:21:40] the student list with their vote,
[00:21:43] and the students will also be supported by a member of the main board and the presidency of the SPS, Boris
[00:21:47] Milićević, who announced that he is leaving that party.
[00:21:51] He told the leader of the SPS, Ivica Dačić, that the decision to
[00:21:54] leave the party was not easy, but that there are many reasons
[00:21:58] for it, because everyone who advocates for freedom, equality,
[00:22:01] the rule of law and socialist principles in the upcoming
[00:22:04] elections should vote for the student
[00:22:07] list. Previously, the former vice president
[00:22:11] of the provincial board of the SPS in Vojvodina, Ivan Đoković,
[00:22:14] also submitted a request to leave the party and decided to
[00:22:18] join Branko Ružić as
[00:22:20] one of the initiators of his new political
[00:22:23] project.
[00:22:25] And now we go live to New Belgrade at the roundabout
[00:22:29] near the municipality, and tonight, supporters of the student
[00:22:32] list, as well as the Serbian Progressive Party,
[00:22:35] have gathered there. Our
[00:22:38] Tamara Ognjanović is there. Tamara, here are two groups of citizens
[00:22:42] separated by the police, so what is
[00:22:43] the atmosphere like.
[00:22:48] That's right, Maja, as in previous days, tonight two groups
[00:22:52] of citizens, supporters of the student list and supporters of the United
[00:22:55] Serbia list, gathered here at the roundabout in New
[00:22:59] Belgrade near the municipality of New Belgrade, I will move immediately so
[00:23:03] you can see the picture, so I say, as in previous days,
[00:23:06] although the situation today is a little
[00:23:10] different, usually these gatherings at certain
[00:23:13] Belgrade intersections took place
[00:23:16] between 8 and 9 pm, for today the board
[00:23:21] of New Belgrade and surrounding neighborhoods,
[00:23:24] let's say, called citizens to come here at 6 pm.
[00:23:27] Supporters of the student list announced
[00:23:31] the printing of T-shirts and bags with the inscription
[00:23:33] "Students Win" and because of that, a larger number
[00:23:37] of citizens gathered here as early as 6 pm,
[00:23:40] however, at the same time, that is, two
[00:23:44] hours earlier than usual, groups of supporters of the Serbian Progressive Party
[00:23:48] also appeared, who also spread out
[00:23:52] on the sidewalks on certain lanes
[00:23:55] along this roundabout and we found a
[00:23:59] situation that was somewhat different from the one
[00:24:02] yesterday or the day before yesterday. I asked
[00:24:05] uh the gathered citizens here,
[00:24:08] do they know whose place it is, given that
[00:24:12] in previous days, in these places where you now see "Serbia wins" banners,
[00:24:16] there were "students win" banners and...
[00:24:20] "They told me that whoever arrives first, that space
[00:24:23] is theirs, so today, as they say,
[00:24:27] they assume that the supporters of the Serbian Progressive
[00:24:30] Party arrived immediately after work, given that when
[00:24:33] the citizens came here at the
[00:24:36] call of the assemblies, those spaces were already
[00:24:40] occupied, there is a lot of noise here at the
[00:24:43] intersection, traffic is quite chaotic,
[00:24:46] I must admit that too, so..." That is the
[00:24:50] situation today, since 6 pm,
[00:24:53] two groups of citizens gathered here who
[00:24:57] support their lists, on several
[00:25:00] of these islands there are supporters of the student list with their
[00:25:04] banners, on one of these islands there is also
[00:25:08] a figure with the image of American President Donald Trump,
[00:25:11] a cardboard figure, there are also police officers,
[00:25:15] I would not say that they are separating two groups, since they are
[00:25:18] not meeting anywhere, but police officers are standing
[00:25:21] at certain points and
[00:25:25] uh, let's say, securing
[00:25:28] order, although it does not seem that traffic is
[00:25:32] being secured, you can see that it is very crowded, we also noticed
[00:25:36] that these vehicles honk when they pass
[00:25:39] by the supporters of the student list and by the people with
[00:25:43] "students win" banners, we also crossed to the other side, it's a bit
[00:25:47] quieter there, so I will remind you that...
[00:25:50] "for some time now, for several days, there has been a trend
[00:25:54] that at certain intersections, the largest
[00:25:57] gatherings are at Konjarnik and here in New
[00:26:00] Belgrade, so at certain intersections."
[00:26:02] are gathering, uh, those who support the student
[00:26:06] list, at the same time supporters of the Serbian
[00:26:10] Progressive Party are coming out, there are often
[00:26:12] incidents, for now it is calm at this intersection in Novi
[00:26:16] Beograd.
[00:26:17] Thank you, Tamara, you saw what it's like
[00:26:20] at the municipality of Novi Beograd, you heard our Tamara
[00:26:23] Ognjanović.
[00:26:24] The law does not prevent
[00:26:28] the acting president of the republic, Ana
[00:26:31] Brnabić, from publishing the names
[00:26:34] of pardoned persons, that was stated by the informal association for the defense
[00:26:38] of the profession, reacting to her statement that at a party
[00:26:41] conference she cannot talk about state issues due to the law
[00:26:45] on preventing corruption. The association states that the public has
[00:26:48] the right to know to whom, for which criminal offenses and by what
[00:26:52] procedure a pardon was granted. Article
[00:26:55] 14 of the Law on Free Access to Information of Public
[00:26:58] Importance explicitly provides for the possibility of access
[00:27:02] to information that relates to events of public
[00:27:05] interest, even when they contain personal
[00:27:08] data, states the defense of the profession, inviting Ana
[00:27:11] Brnabić to state the specific legal provision
[00:27:15] that prevents her from publishing that information.
[00:27:18] Let us remind you, Aleksandar Vučić, before resigning from the position of President of Serbia,
[00:27:22] announced that he had pardoned 49 people, but
[00:27:25] their names are still not known
[00:27:28] to the public.
[00:27:37] The trial of Vladan Sretenović for the attack on
[00:27:40] the N1 television crew in front of the Serbian Parliament in November last
[00:27:44] year continued. Given that the judge was changed,
[00:27:47] the statements were read from the beginning. Sretenović
[00:27:51] did not answer questions, but stuck to the statement he gave to the prosecutor
[00:27:55] in February of this year. He admitted guilt, but not
[00:27:58] in the way the prosecution defines it. Sretenović
[00:28:02] entered the court in a T-shirt with a picture of Ratko
[00:28:05] Mladić's cap.
[00:28:09] Did the judge react because of how he was dressed? No,
[00:28:13] it's shocking to me that there was no reaction, even though it was completely
[00:28:16] evident that it was a demonstration. On the front
[00:28:19] of that T-shirt, next to uh, uh, Šapka, uh,
[00:28:23] Radko Mladić, a convicted war criminal, we must always
[00:28:26] emphasize, there was a message: from your struggle, our
[00:28:30] freedom was born. And on... uh, the back of that
[00:28:33] T-shirt, next to the
[00:28:36] image of Ratko Mladić, there was also the image of Patriarch Pavle and
[00:28:40] allegedly his quote that a man is
[00:28:43] stronger dead than an inhuman
[00:28:46] alive, I watched that the whole time
[00:28:49] of the trial and I really felt it as a threat addressed
[00:28:52] to everyone who in this
[00:28:55] case represents independent journalism, professional journalism,
[00:28:58] reporting, because the prosecutor uh... uh defined this
[00:29:02] attack not only as the destruction of equipment, cameras, but as
[00:29:05] an attack on free journalism, free reporting.
[00:29:09] The president of the European Federation of Journalists,
[00:29:12] Maja Sever, compared the events on the Nova.RS portal to
[00:29:16] the situation in Hungary when people close
[00:29:19] to Viktor Orban took over the media, after which
[00:29:22] dozens of journalists left the newsroom.
[00:29:25] She assessed that the journalists of Nova who opposed
[00:29:29] the imposition of a new editorial board showed courage and
[00:29:32] professionalism. Journalist and
[00:29:36] presenter of Nova Television Radovan Seratlić spoke
[00:29:40] about the events in the newsroom. He warned about the consequences
[00:29:43] of messages that those who do not like the changes
[00:29:46] do not have to work for that house.
[00:29:50] Colleagues from Nova.
[00:29:53] RS uh reacted again in accordance with
[00:29:56] their limits, right, and said what they
[00:29:59] had to say. After that we had some reactions that if someone
[00:30:03] doesn't like it, you know, they don't have to work, yes, that's true and
[00:30:06] that's the essence of everything and then I ask myself why simply someone who has
[00:30:10] power doesn't say now 30 of you no longer work
[00:30:14] here, we're bringing our 30, that's dangerous and risky
[00:30:17] because no one would watch something like that,
[00:30:21] there's one thing called trust, so you can
[00:30:24] replace
[00:30:26] whoever you want, people
[00:30:30] who have learned to watch, used to watching someone they trust,
[00:30:34] that person has never, or very rarely, betrayed their
[00:30:38] trust, so those things are a little difficult to change, I think that's the answer to
[00:30:41] the question of why some things go faster, but still that
[00:30:44] unpacking takes a little longer, here,
[00:30:48] by the end of the news watch,
[00:30:51] five years of Sloga from
[00:30:55] Desimirovac without a football field.
