00:00:20Good afternoon, dear viewers, events
00:00:25protect maritime routes in of the day. The large fire in the Konjic area
00:00:28has not yet been brought under control.
00:00:30control.
00:00:33The Main Board of the New Zenica Ironworks Trade Union demands from
00:00:37the company's management severance pay for all
00:00:40workers by August
00:00:4110th.
00:00:45New hearings for associates of the Srebrenica Memorial Center.
00:00:48The Center offers legal assistance to current and former
00:00:51associates.
00:00:57A large fire in the Konjic area has not yet been brought under
00:01:00control, the most difficult situation is in the area of
00:01:03the settlements of Kanjina and Živašnica where the fire
00:01:07threatens residential buildings.
00:01:19You pour raw coffee, roast it over
00:01:28Firefighters and locals extinguished the fires during the night, but
00:01:31inaccessible terrain and demanding conditions further complicate
00:01:35the fight against the fire. In some places, the fire approached
00:01:39houses within a hundred meters, and today, a helicopter of the armed
00:01:42forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as a helicopter of the Ministry
00:01:46of Internal Affairs of the Zenica Canton, were engaged in extinguishing
00:01:49the fire. The Ministry of Defense states that this is one of
00:01:53the most complex tasks performed by members of the Air Force
00:01:56and Air Defense Brigade due to the inaccessible terrain and difficult
00:02:00working conditions. Additional difficulties are created by thick smoke above
00:02:03the fire area, which hinders aerial
00:02:07extinguishing. very,
00:02:11very difficult situation, you see that we are fighting here with fire to save residential
00:02:14buildings, that is our priority today to save, here
00:02:18after we save residential buildings, they will start working, it seems
00:02:22to me that bigger tractors are working from Mostar, armed forces from Zenica-Doboj
00:02:25Canton, civil protection, the situation
00:02:28is difficult, we have, you see above again there are also residential buildings in
00:02:32question the situation
00:02:34on all fire fronts, the fire front up towards Džepska
00:02:38Mountain, over here on the right and left branch, the fire is really
00:02:41spreading abnormally, you see, it's very, very difficult, how many people are currently
00:02:45on the ground? we have somewhere around 35 people on the
00:02:49ground with the professional fire brigade, the volunteer fire department, and the forestry service.
00:02:52I was there last night,
00:02:53it wasn't dangerous at all.
00:02:56It was burning here too. From Kanjina,
00:03:00I am above the train station,
00:03:04above the tracks, so I can see what the situation is like.
00:03:07Yesterday morning, they said the fire appeared in three
00:03:10places, Ovčari and Kanjina. It wasn't there until
00:03:14last night, I think. Something happened around
00:03:178, and it had already spread. It was burning all day
00:03:20there, but not here.
00:03:23walk, and There was some smoke, but not too much. Then
00:03:26around 3:30 AM, it had completely reached
00:03:29this house. "The firefighters were here, the locals,
00:03:32it was put out this morning when I got up, at seven, it had come
00:03:36all the way down to that house up there, it was
00:03:39contained, it was put out, they went up, now it has moved
00:03:42up, now I don't know what's up there, I haven't gone, and
00:03:45that's it, what is this, we don't even know ourselves, what happened
00:03:49yesterday, was your house in danger last night,
00:03:53well, yes, yes, yes, there was danger because
00:03:56there is a hill up there, the hill had come down.
00:04:00channels. That's all for this news summary, thank you for it was close to the house, it was dangerous for us, really. So,
00:04:03do you expect this fire to be extinguished? Well,
00:04:07I expect the authorities to succeed, to help
00:04:11us, because we are really in danger, we are worried.
00:04:13The main board of the trade union of the new
00:04:17Željezara Zenica demands from the company's management payment
00:04:21of severance pay to all workers by August 10th
00:04:24of this year, and if that does not happen, they announce protests
00:04:27on August 11th in front of the administrative building. and closure in
00:04:31the plants, we have a noose around
00:04:34our necks,
00:04:36uh, bankruptcy, and simply let's try, right, to solve one
00:04:40problem before it comes, but
00:04:43as I say, we still don't know, we're not, we're not in the judge's
00:04:47head, so we'll see if it comes to that,
00:04:51but hey, let's try to be one step ahead,
00:04:55what we currently have on the scene
00:04:58is a different way of fighting
00:05:02against what the union advocates for,
00:05:05that is, for the continuation of production, the preservation of jobs,
00:05:08that is, to completely transfer this whole situation,
00:05:12or rather the responsibility for the entire
00:05:15situation, to the union,
00:05:18which is, to say the least, incorrect,
00:05:21and we are all aware that the management's responsibility
00:05:25is enormous, and my colleague mentioned, and you have followed
00:05:28during the past months, what was promised,
00:05:31to what extent what
00:05:34renaissance regarding the new Zenica Ironworks, we are in
00:05:38a situation where we are thinking about... about
00:05:42bankruptcy, that is, termination of contracts for all
00:05:44workers,
00:05:47ultimately, as a result of all that, we have this situation that
00:05:50we have today. Next week, a decision should be
00:05:54made on the bankruptcy proposal for the new Zenica Ironworks
00:05:57which was submitted by the management of the New Zenica Ironworks
00:06:01back on December 17,
00:06:052025. Their intention was for that bankruptcy to start
00:06:08already from the new year, well, thank God for...
00:06:12thanks to the union's activities and drawing attention to the importance of the Zenica Ironworks,
00:06:16here we are still alive today, and people are
00:06:20employed, they received seven salaries in the past period, they received holiday pay,
00:06:23financial assistance according to the collective agreement, all
00:06:26rights.
00:06:28If the court makes a decision to open bankruptcy proceedings, this will
00:06:32result in the termination of all
00:06:34employment contracts, meaning for all
00:06:371480 workers currently
00:06:40employed.
00:06:44Two of the 11 Zenica miners from the Mrkog Uglja
00:06:48Zenica mine were forced to leave the Raspotočje pit due to poor health,
00:06:51where they had spent three nights.
00:06:55Two miners felt ill, after which they, accompanied by the president
00:06:59of the Trade Union, Nedžad Duraković, exited the pit.
00:07:02Emergency services intervened, and one of the miners was transported to the cantonal
00:07:06hospital in Zenica, while the other miner's health condition
00:07:09improved, and he requested to return to the pit. The miners
00:07:12continue their protest due to unpaid salaries for May and
00:07:16June. As of yesterday, they are again temporarily able to
00:07:19validate their health
00:07:20insurance cards.
00:07:23At the Srebrenica police station, four more people connected to
00:07:27the Srebrenica Memorial Center were questioned today, bringing the total number of those questioned
00:07:30to seven, while the list of people to be
00:07:34questioned totals
00:07:3726. The representative of the Memorial Center, Edi Nikanović,
00:07:40stated that today statements were given by three people who had previously collaborated with
00:07:44the Memorial Center and one current associate, and that the
00:07:48interrogations were conducted in the presence of lawyers. He announced
00:07:52that the Memorial Center, in consultation with the legal team and
00:07:55lawyer, will consider further steps regarding
00:07:58the interrogations.
00:08:08US President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged that supplies of certain
00:08:11types of ammunition and missiles in
00:08:15the United States have decreased, but he insists that the army
00:08:18remains exceptionally strong. Reports indicate
00:08:21that the military expended nearly four-fifths of its Tad missile
00:08:25stocks and half of its Patriot interceptors
00:08:28during the war with Iran. Trump sharply condemned the leaking of this information
00:08:31to the media, calling it a threat to national
00:08:35security. Due to reduced stockpiles and concerns from allies
00:08:38in the Gulf, the US President ordered the Justice Department
00:08:42to investigate, while demanding an immediate increase
00:08:44in production from the defense industry.
00:08:50munitions that are very powerful that we have
00:08:53unlimited, virtual unlimited supply, we have others where it's a little
00:08:57bit tighter. we have certain types of munitions which are
00:09:01very, they may not be as accurate, they may not be, they're
00:09:05not as elite, we have leite to, but
00:09:08we're we're watching that very closely, but we have a
00:09:12certain. types which are very powerful and very
00:09:15good uh and we have an unlimited supply
00:09:19and uh so we're in great shape, but uh with that being
00:09:23said uh we always want more, we have to have more, we have
00:09:27other things maybe come up, you maybe come up and maybe don't come up, hopefully nothing
00:09:30else does come up, but we're in very good shape, we have literally massive
00:09:34amounts of ammunition.
00:09:38Donald Trump's peace committee issued the first contract for the reconstruction of Gaza,
00:09:42which envisages the construction of a small military base for 150 Moroccan
00:09:46soldiers as part of international stabilization forces. The project
00:09:50was awarded to the American company Arkel International,
00:09:53and will be built in an area under the control of the Israeli army. Although
00:09:57a complete reconstruction and the New Gaza project were announced earlier,
00:10:00the plan has been reduced to a miniature pilot project. Meanwhile,
00:10:03a large portion of Gaza's two million residents continue to live
00:10:07in difficult conditions in camps without access to
00:10:10drinking water, while Amnesty International warns of thousands
00:10:13of bodies trapped under
00:10:14the rubble.
00:10:19Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan today in Jeddah
00:10:22signed a key trilateral
00:10:25defense agreement. In addition to closer military coordination, the agreement includes
00:10:29intelligence sharing, joint military exercises, and
00:10:32cooperation in the defense industry. The pact connects
00:10:35the economic power of Saudi Arabia, the military technology of Turkey as a NATO
00:10:39member, and the nuclear potential of Pakistan.
00:10:42The agreement comes as a direct response to the escalating conflict between
00:10:46the US and Iran and aims to
00:10:50the Red Sea and the Strait
00:10:51of Hormuz.
00:10:55At least seven people died in Thailand when a fourteen-year-old
00:10:59student carried out a deadly attack at a prominent high school near
00:11:03Bangkok. The boy first killed his grandparents in
00:11:07his family home, then used his grandfather's pistol to kill teachers
00:11:11and students at the school, after which he took his own life. More than
00:11:1415 people were injured while frightened students sought safety
00:11:18by locking themselves in classrooms and climbing over fences. The motive
00:11:22for the crime is still unknown.
00:11:28I saw that he was using a 9mm pistol. In
00:11:32the bag he carried over his shoulder, he had a pistol magazine and
00:11:36about 20 to 30 more bullets. When I arrived,
00:11:39there was complete chaos. The students we found
00:11:42outside were also wounded in the back, chest, and
00:11:46arms. We gave them first aid. The student was still
00:11:49shooting at that
00:11:51moment.
00:12:38Bojan Lipovščak brings the weather
00:12:39forecast.
00:12:42Good afternoon, what kind of weather awaits us today until the end
00:12:45of the day? A cold front is located
00:12:49north of the Alps, a small part of it has passed over the Alpine
00:12:52barrier, it has bypassed it, and... A small amount
00:12:55of unstable air has penetrated over the northern
00:12:59Adriatic, over the northwestern parts
00:13:02of the Balkan interior. This
00:13:05cold front will pass very quickly north of
00:13:08the Alps and will not bring a big change in weather here.
00:13:12For now, sunny and stable weather will
00:13:16remain. Namely, behind the cold front,
00:13:19the ridge of the anticyclone intensifies,
00:13:21and the weather stabilizes again. So
00:13:25this is a short-term little
00:13:28bite, a bite of winter that only
00:13:31temporarily interrupted the heat
00:13:34wave. Today we will mostly have sunny
00:13:37weather with moderate to strong development of daily
00:13:40clouds, so only locally
00:13:44a shower and thunder are possible. The highest
00:13:48daily temperatures will be high,
00:13:51hot, above 30°C in Herzegovina,
00:13:55up to 38°C.
00:13:58The sea is very warm,
00:14:0028°C, so
00:14:03it is very pleasant for
00:14:07swimming, and the ultraviolet index is also high and very
00:14:10high. In the Adriatic, a southwest wind will blow, while in the
00:14:14northern part of the Adriatic, a bora wind will blow. More about the
00:14:18weather can be followed on our
00:14:21info
00:14:25your attention, goodbye.
00:15:18Northern Bosnia and Herzegovina, surrounding
00:15:21Doboj, Petrovo, Maglaj.
00:15:27Mount Ozren dominates the landscape, especially its highest
00:15:30peak, Velika Ostravica, with an altitude of 918 meters
00:15:34above sea level.
00:15:40Geologists, as well as investors,
00:15:44have cast their eyes on the seemingly wild nature.
00:15:48While there are whispers of copper, nickel, and even
00:15:50gold on Ozren, the locals are determined to preserve their
00:15:54paradise. The population has preserved old
00:15:57customs, beliefs, traditional medicine, and the gathering of medicinal
00:16:00herb 'iva' has even been included on UNESCO's list of intangible
00:16:04heritage. It is especially and massively gathered every September
00:16:0711th, on the day commemorating the Beheading of Saint John
00:16:10the Baptist. Iva is the third element from Bosnia and
00:16:14Herzegovina on this prestigious list of humanity.
00:16:18Previously, the Zmijanje embroidery and Konjic woodcarving were
00:16:21protected.
00:16:25"The Iva herb turns the dead into living." This is a well-known saying.
00:16:28It's bitter, but just one stem in tea or brandy
00:16:32is medicinal. Radivoj also knows the benefits of the mountain,
00:16:35having returned from Canada.
00:16:38If only I hadn't left, if I had stayed here and had the opportunity to
00:16:42achieve something like this, I wouldn't have left, he says breathlessly, as
00:16:46he shows guests at his ethno-household an old coffee
00:16:49roaster, and then
00:16:50a grinder.
00:16:56the fire, then grind it, and voilà, Turkish coffee. But it's only called
00:17:00Turkish, Turkey doesn't produce
00:17:02coffee.
00:17:07is happy to learn about old crafts and objects, traditional wooden
00:17:11houses, and helps the hostess prepare a warm meal for
00:17:15guests.
00:17:18For those seeking adrenaline and an active vacation, the advice is to go
00:17:22two hundred meters further.
00:17:25The Paragliding base on Ozren, with professional paragliders, has become
00:17:28a magnet for adrenaline addicts. From the air, they
00:17:31say, the world is in the palm of your
00:17:32hand.
00:17:45At the top of Ozren there is also a mini zoo, a tourist complex, offering
00:17:49hiking, paintball, zipline, paragliding,
00:17:51swimming.
00:17:56Maša and Ljubica are she-bears, three and four years old, found as
00:18:00cubs in the forest without a mother. They were adopted by Petar, the owner
00:18:03of the complex. We will become recognizable. and this part of Ozren and
00:18:06Doboj will be recognizable by this place, we offer,
00:18:10we try to encompass a wide range of people, primarily
00:18:14nature lovers, those who love animals,
00:18:17respect nature,
00:18:21love adrenaline sports, then
00:18:24we go further and organize
00:18:28art colonies during the year, so that artists gather around
00:18:31us, at our place, who create works here
00:18:35that... are placed in the fundus of this place here, so that we will
00:18:38offer them such services of some active recreation
00:18:42in nature, that is to try
00:18:45to fly a paraglider in a tandem paraglider or even
00:18:49some short paragliding course to see what it looks like and
00:18:52if they like it then to start some kind of training
00:18:56where they would finish so that they could independently
00:18:59fly a paraglider, and when you land, you will explore
00:19:03the estate, bring hornbeam leaves if you go... to Francesco
00:19:06the llama, it's hot for her, and the llama
00:19:10Franz defends himself by spitting, so
00:19:13he spits like that, which, however,
00:19:16creates sympathy among people. People come here with the intention of having a little
00:19:20argument with Franz so that Franz spits at
00:19:22them like that, humanly, humanly,
00:19:25this is unique in its own
00:19:29way and attractive, and last year a grandfather found
00:19:32a fawn that dogs had attacked, not
00:19:36killed. He rescued it and bathed it, because they had already driven
00:19:40it into a puddle, then he didn't know what to do with it, he called
00:19:43me, we took that fawn and raised it, so that fawn
00:19:47walks around here, it's already a grown deer, Mara
00:19:50is her name, she already comes here to the guests when they arrive,
00:19:54goes around the tables to see what's there, she knows where the food is in the shed,
00:19:58she goes and takes corn or
00:20:01whatever, and eats, so all of that in its own
00:20:04way creates some kind of sympathy for visitors,
00:20:08some unusual things.
00:20:11This mountain beauty was mined in the wartime 90s,
00:20:14today there are still mines, so all visitors to the mountain
00:20:18are advised to be careful, especially those who would explore the caves
00:20:22of this region, among which the most famous is Mokra
00:20:24Megara. Up until now, no thorough and
00:20:28systematic research of this cave has been carried out, so
00:20:32our goals are to find these species that are described for these
00:20:36caves.
00:21:20are not flooded, for example ceilings or other channels, to
00:21:23succeed in finding some of them. Expeditions
00:21:27of speleologists and nature lovers are becoming more frequent, researchers from
00:21:31the region come to Ozren with a purpose.
00:21:34Namely, this is also known as the habitat of the Maglaj giant,
00:21:38an endemic insect, which lives only in this
00:21:41area and nowhere else. However, it was discovered a hundred years ago during the Austro-Hungarian
00:21:45era, and since then we have practically had a void in terms of biological
00:21:48research of this area. "Why, why are we exploring the Megara
00:21:52cave? Well, to protect this area. Currently,
00:21:55I'm interested in bats only, this, if we pick up anything
00:21:59along the way, that's a bonus, because from here,
00:22:02as Marijan said, we know very little, this, we don't even have lists
00:22:06of these butterflies, we actually have nothing, if we're being honest,
00:22:10this, we know nothing about bats. Now we managed to
00:22:13film one there, I think it's a pygmy, but that still
00:22:17needs to be confirmed, this."
00:22:20"These first parts are cold, so it's not really for them, this,
00:22:23a horseshoe bat, for example, wants a 7-degree warm cave,
00:22:26that's probably deeper inside, here we just measured the wind, it's
00:22:306 km per hour, that's a bit too cold
00:22:33for the small horseshoe bats, who are currently among
00:22:37the most endangered species in Europe, but it might be warmer in the depths,
00:22:41so we'll see where we are, what
00:22:45we have, what
00:22:47bats, spiders, insects, what's hidden in the bowels of this
00:22:51land? We pay huge amounts of money to go to
00:22:55Europe to see things, but we have such beautiful tourist potentials
00:22:59in our own country, about which we practically know nothing. Megara has never been fully
00:23:02explored, there were attempts, there were some experimental
00:23:06researches in the 60s, 70s, but no one finished
00:23:09it, everyone started it, no one finished it. I hope that now
00:23:12the Fojničani and together with all of us who truly support
00:23:16this project will succeed in finally putting an end to...
00:23:20the exploration of Megara, so we know what it is, whether there is life,
00:23:23what the flora is like, what the fauna is like, what the life forms are
00:23:27inside, and that they even exist and everything else, ultimately, to establish
00:23:31this as a tourist potential, a tourist destination where people will come
00:23:34here, this, it immediately opens up
00:23:38job opportunities, a restaurant can be opened immediately, some kind of overnight stay
00:23:41for some guests and tourists and
00:23:45so on, so this is really an important, important thing, an important
00:23:48project, we also have another, another illness,
00:23:52this, you can't, and whatever you start, immediately negative
00:23:55selection is made, it's all failed, it's all better not to try anything and
00:23:59so on. The biology of the cave has not been investigated for a hundred years, since
00:24:02the time of Austro-Hungary. If it were investigated, Megara could eventually
00:24:06become accessible to tourists. We
00:24:09did a lot of research in the 80s,
00:24:12every year we came and then we
00:24:15physically explored about 2 km, as Jasminko says, we didn't do those
00:24:19scientific research, which,
00:24:22well, finally we will start with those things, from
00:24:25bats, from all kinds of insects, the complete
00:24:28fauna, try to find even newer species and see what
00:24:32else is there, today we are working with three
00:24:35teams, one team is going, let's say,
00:24:39to conquer, to prepare, there we have some three waterfalls to physically
00:24:42secure them so that the expedition can continue deeper
00:24:45inside, I am leading one team that will redraw
00:24:48with new technology
00:24:50everything... the drawing will
00:24:54continue these days, so I hope by the end of the camp I will have
00:24:57over 2 km of drawn Megara so that we physically
00:25:01know what it looks like inside, this is for example one of the objects that can certainly be
00:25:05attractive for tourism, so that
00:25:08one part, some first 600-700 meters, can be equipped for tourists, today I will
00:25:11look at it a bit so that some things can be solved
00:25:15when there is a lot of
00:25:16water.
00:25:25Yes, there is also a waterfall in the cave, it's small, but very challenging. Until
00:25:292021, there were also mines at its entrance.
00:25:32Today, that part is safe. We
00:25:35need to be careful of mines, this
00:25:38approach has been demined, but the other
00:25:41parts, left and right, everywhere where it's
00:25:45marked with mines, I would ask everyone not to enter
00:25:48without someone from these areas. The Megara cave has been,
00:25:52as I said, mined for the past 30 years, it was inaccessible
00:25:55for both citizens of Maglaj and Doboj.
00:25:58We hope that now it will be demined and become a protected nature
00:26:02park, which non-governmental organizations from both entities
00:26:05aim to connect people on the slopes
00:26:08of Ozren.
00:26:15The protected nature park should become a part
00:26:18of Ozren. A mountain that hides mineral, natural riches,
00:26:21remembers tradition, and whose people call themselves guardians
00:26:25of Ozren.
