00:00:23Good afternoon, dear viewers, welcome to
00:00:25the news.
00:00:30The fire in Konjic has not yet been extinguished despite the engagement of helicopters
00:00:33of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, all
00:00:36available firefighters are defending houses from the fire
00:00:39element. The fire, you can really see, is spreading abnormally
00:00:43fast, a very, very difficult
00:00:44situation.
00:00:49By the end of the show, among other things,
00:00:50watch.
00:00:55The Main Board of the Union of New Željezara Zenica demands from
00:00:58the company's management severance pay for all
00:01:02workers by August 10th.
00:01:05It is certain that we will not withdraw until our demands are met
00:01:08and I must point out that this concerns
00:01:12the citizens of Zenica, because
00:01:1599% are left without
00:01:17heating.
00:01:20New hearings for associates of the Srebrenica
00:01:23Memorial Center, the center offers legal aid for current and former
00:01:27associates.
00:01:30Donald Trump sharply denies media reports of a dangerous reduction
00:01:34in Pentagon ammunition stockpiles during the conflict with
00:01:36Iran.
00:01:39During the heatwave, we take you with pictures to the Bijambare
00:01:43Caves.
00:01:49The fire season has been ongoing for a long time. This latest one near
00:01:52Konjic is one of the most dangerous this summer. It still cannot
00:01:56be extinguished. Aid has also started from the Canton of Sarajevo.
00:02:01Fear and uncertainty among the residents of Živašnica, the fire
00:02:04has approached the houses, for the second day firefighters and locals
00:02:08are trying to stop its spread, their work is further
00:02:11complicated by the wind which changes direction, making the fire
00:02:14unpredictable. It's dangerous at home, I'm worried, this whole
00:02:18settlement is in danger, I don't know
00:02:20what else to say, to help us extinguish it as soon as possible,
00:02:24I don't know what else to say, this happens
00:02:27many times, so what is it... "we don't even know
00:02:31ourselves, what happened, what was it yesterday last night, was your house
00:02:35in danger yesterday last night, yes, yes, yes, there was
00:02:38danger because there is a hill up there, the hill
00:02:42had come down almost to the house, it was really
00:02:45dangerous for us, in the Ovčar area the fire has been localized while the fight
00:02:49with the flames near Kanjina and Živašnica is still
00:02:52ongoing, the priority is people and residential buildings, steep slopes
00:02:56and inaccessible terrain prevent fire trucks."
00:03:00from reaching higher zones, so
00:03:03February aid is also coming from the air, the terrain is such that it
00:03:06is very, very steep and it is difficult for us to access, we cannot access the upper part
00:03:10with vehicles to be able to work with ground forces
00:03:13with water, we have some support from
00:03:15the air, air tractors, armed
00:03:18forces, helicopters of the Zenica-Doboj
00:03:23guidelines on how to fill those Canton, I say again, our primary
00:03:25goal is to save residential buildings so that they are not threatened
00:03:29around 30 firefighters from the professional fire department
00:03:33of Konjic, the voluntary fire society, workers of Prenj
00:03:36Forestry, together with the locals have joined forces. Firefighters have been
00:03:39working for two days, day and night. Continuously.
00:03:43Has there ever been such a situation before? Never, there was
00:03:47a small fire in 2003, it was immediately extinguished, but this
00:03:51here in this part, never. And what do you think,
00:03:54how long will it take to extinguish the fire? In God's
00:03:57hands, as much as we can to help
00:04:01these people who are permanently employed, to help them,
00:04:05we will try to fight until it is extinguished. The fight against the fire
00:04:08continued during the night and in the early
00:04:10it is added that this is all still at morning hours when the flames came close to the houses.
00:04:14Locals note that fires here are not uncommon, but it is still
00:04:18not easy for them when they see flames nearby. It was burning there all
00:04:21day, there was really not much smoke here, but not
00:04:24too much. Then at night around 3:30
00:04:28it went completely towards this house.
00:04:30The firefighters and these locals extinguished it.
00:04:34This morning when I woke up at seven, it had gone all the way to this
00:04:38house up there, it was contained, it was extinguished, they
00:04:41left, now it has moved up there, now I don't know what is
00:04:44up there, I haven't been there, and we have this every
00:04:48year here, this is for us, that
00:04:51side, and this train passes, probably when
00:04:56later in Athens, at it brakes, it's dry, there's no rain, and so it just
00:04:59catches fire. Firefighting units and locals on
00:05:03the ground are trying with superhuman efforts
00:05:06to defend the houses from the flames
00:05:09that are coming down from the mountain from the air and
00:05:12of course, helicopters are coming to help,
00:05:15given that the wind is blowing it does not make the
00:05:19situation on the ground easier, emergency teams remain to
00:05:22monitor the situation. Nataša Kerezović,
00:05:25N1.
00:05:29The Main Board of the Union of New Željezara Zenica demands from
00:05:33the company's management severance pay for all workers by
00:05:36August 10th, and if that does not happen,
00:05:39they announce protests on August 11th in front of... the administrative building
00:05:43and a lockdown in the facilities.
00:05:46If it is not finished by the 10th regarding our
00:05:50demands, on the 11th all workers and our families will be there, we will call
00:05:54the citizens of Zenica in front of the main
00:05:58directorate, it is certain that we will not withdraw until our
00:06:01demands are met and I must point out
00:06:04that this concerns the citizens of Zenica because
00:06:0899% are left without
00:06:11heating. To which Mr. Hamzić
00:06:15immediately threatened at the beginning that there is a model how to deprive
00:06:18citizens of heating.
00:06:22What we currently have on the scene is a
00:06:26different way of fighting against what the union advocates for,
00:06:30i.e. for the continuation of production and preservation of jobs,
00:06:32mjesta,
00:06:34that is, that the entire situation wants to be shifted, or
00:06:38the responsibility for the entire situation to
00:06:40the union. "which is, to put it mildly,
00:06:44incorrect. We are all
00:06:47aware that the responsibility of the management is enormous and
00:06:50my colleague mentioned, and you have been following this over the past
00:06:54months, what was promised, in what proportion
00:06:57which renaissance regarding the new Željezara
00:07:01Zenica, we are in a situation where we are thinking
00:07:05about bankruptcy, i.e., termination of contracts for all
00:07:09workers,
00:07:11ultimately, as a result of all this, we have
00:07:15this situation we have today. Next week, a decision
00:07:19should be made on the proposal for bankruptcy of the new Željezara Zenica
00:07:22which was submitted by the management of the new Željezara
00:07:25Zenica on December 17,
00:07:292025. Their intention was for that bankruptcy to start
00:07:32already from the new year, well, thank God
00:07:36thanks to the activities of the union and drawing attention to
00:07:39the importance of Željezara Zenica, here...
00:07:42We are still alive and people are employed, they have received seven salaries
00:07:46in the past period, they received holiday pay and financial assistance according to the collective agreement, all
00:07:50rights.
00:07:52If the court makes a decision on opening bankruptcy proceedings, this will
00:07:56result in the termination of all
00:08:00employment contracts, meaning for all 1480 workers
00:08:03who are currently employed.
00:08:06In the Srebrenica
00:08:09police station today, four more people connected
00:08:13with the Srebrenica Memorial Center were interrogated,
00:08:16bringing the total number interrogated to seven, while the list
00:08:20of people who should be interrogated contains
00:08:23a total of 26. The representative of the Memorial Center, Edin
00:08:27Nikanović, stated that today three people who previously
00:08:31collaborated with the Memorial Center and one current
00:08:34associate gave statements, and that the interrogations were conducted in the presence
00:08:37of lawyers. He announced that the Memorial Center, in consultation
00:08:41with the legal team and lawyer, will consider further steps
00:08:45regarding the interrogations.
00:08:49Concepts such as legitimate representation and
00:08:51constitutiveness are often misused under the influence
00:08:55of neighboring countries' politics, to the detriment of Bosniaks,
00:08:58said the head of BiH diplomacy at a conference on this
00:09:02topic. The trigger for re-examining these terms is
00:09:05the earlier adopted resolution of Croatia on Bosnia and Herzegovina. But
00:09:09political representatives of the Serb and Croat people are clear.
00:09:12The equality of the three constituent peoples represents the essence of the Constitution
00:09:16of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the foundation of the functioning of the state, everything beyond
00:09:19that, they say, is an attack on the constitutional order.
00:09:23The terms constitutiveness and legitimate representation in Bosnia and Herzegovina are
00:09:27often used to fuel the political atmosphere, especially in pre-election
00:09:30periods, assesses the head of BHA diplomacy. The resolution on
00:09:34Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, adopted in the Croatian Parliament, is a kind of trigger
00:09:37for their return to the framework of argumentation and definition. There
00:09:41is also the question of the position in the Presidency of
00:09:45Bosnia and Herzegovina. There are many other indicators that are shockingly
00:09:49to the detriment of Bosniaks in this country. It is not
00:09:52a weakness. It was the desire of previous authorities,
00:09:56this, to perhaps precisely because it is about
00:09:58the smallest constituent people, to meet them in some positioning.
00:10:02But then when today you have those who disregard and don't appreciate and understand
00:10:06at least problematize one issue, then they brutally
00:10:09interfere with the constitutional arrangement in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Konaković is
00:10:13disappointed that the heads of the SDP and HDZ clubs from Croatia
00:10:17refused the invitation for a discussion on this topic, and only Dalija Orešković,
00:10:21a representative in the Croatian Parliament, who did not vote for the resolution, responded. There
00:10:24are some parts
00:10:27that are more related to political
00:10:30issues and associations with the time
00:10:34of war, not so much in the electoral engineering itself,
00:10:36which is also very significant and sends bad messages and a bad image. Based on an
00:10:40empirical approach, analyses of the representation
00:10:44of constituent peoples and others in the institutions of Bosnia
00:10:47and Herzegovina were presented, including the staffing
00:10:51structure and the distribution of managerial positions. We will not
00:10:55count, as they say, blood cells, but we want
00:10:59to clearly point out the problem of the disappearance,
00:11:02extinction, not only political, but every other influence
00:11:06of the most numerous people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which can
00:11:10lead to the radicalization of the political scene,
00:11:13but that instead of discussing the problem it is still more resorted to
00:11:17counting blood cells, stated the state delegate from the ranks of the HDZ,
00:11:21BiH. You have the paradox that those who do not want
00:11:26to talk and solve that problem
00:11:30on the Croatian objection that in
00:11:33the presidency
00:11:35someone is elected to the position of Croatian representative
00:11:39who has nothing to do with Croatian voters, with Croatian
00:11:43legitimacy and so on, then
00:11:46they respond by saying that
00:11:49citizens elect, that members of the presidency do not
00:11:53represent peoples, but their citizens. and so on, however
00:11:56in the application to
00:11:59the European Court of Human Rights, the same
00:12:03people and political centers
00:12:06complained that members
00:12:08of the presidency
00:12:10represent only peoples, not
00:12:14citizens. Problematic are the constant efforts of political
00:12:17representatives from the Bosniak people to position political representatives
00:12:21based on the number of citizens living in Bosnia and Herzegovina, emphasize state
00:12:25parliamentarians from the Serb people, reminding that
00:12:28the equality of the three constituent peoples is the essence of the constitution of Bosnia and
00:12:31Herzegovina, the foundation of the functioning of the state. All those
00:12:34who in any way advocate for anything beyond that
00:12:37equality of the three constituent peoples are those who attack the constitutional order
00:12:41of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who openly work to undermine Bosnia and
00:12:45Herzegovina. It is unusual that we from Banja Luka and Republika
00:12:48Srpska oppose those who undermine
00:12:52the constitutional order and, that is, those who undermine Bosnia and Herzegovina. But we simply
00:12:56have to say, people, it's high time you understand, you can accept Bosnia and
00:12:59Herzegovina as three equal constituent peoples or you simply have to
00:13:03give up on Bosnia and Herzegovina, because you are the ones who are undermining it,
00:13:07it is crucial to respect that constitutional defense, the constitutiveness of peoples when it comes to
00:13:10these most important positions in the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is primarily
00:13:14the executive structures of the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where
00:13:18for more than a year, almost two years, we have
00:13:21a shortage of ministers from the Serb people in the Council of Ministers
00:13:25of Bosnia and Herzegovina, you know that the Minister of Security has not yet been
00:13:28filled and appointed, and he should belong to the Serb people, so
00:13:32that is a kind of discrimination that is in conflict with the constitutional structure of this
00:13:36country. That is why the very content of any conference can only fulfill
00:13:39the expectations of those who organized it, concludes our
00:13:42interlocutor, but without a clearer picture or structure that will give
00:13:48positions in accordance with constitutional provisions. Tatjana
00:13:51Drljić, N1. Continuing with news
00:13:55from the world.
00:13:59Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed a
00:14:02defense
00:14:03agreement.
00:14:07US President Donald Trump publicly admitted that stockpiles of certain
00:14:11types of ammunition and missiles in the United States
00:14:14have been depleted, but claims that the military is still extremely
00:14:17strong. According to reports, the military spent almost four
00:14:21fifths of its Thad missile stockpiles and half
00:14:24of its Patriot interceptors during the war with Iran.
00:14:27Trump sharply condemned the leaking of this information to
00:14:30the media, calling it
00:14:33stockpiles and the concern of allies
00:14:37in the Gulf, the US President ordered the Justice Department to
00:14:41investigate, while demanding from the defense industry an urgent increase in production.
00:14:55"we have others where it's a little bit tighter, we have uh certain types
00:14:59of munitions which are very uh, they may not
00:15:02be as accurate, they may not be, they're not as elite, we
00:15:06have elite too, but we're we're watching
00:15:09that very closely, but we have certain types which are
00:15:13very powerful and very good, and we
00:15:16have an unlimited supply, and uh, so we're in
00:15:20great shape, but uh, with that being said, uh, we always
00:15:24want more, we have..." they have more, we have other things maybe come up, you maybe come
00:15:28up and maybe don't come up, hopefully nothing else does come up, but we're in
00:15:31very good shape, we have literally massive amounts of
00:15:34ammunition,
00:15:37Donald Trump issued the first contract for the reconstruction of Gaza
00:15:41which foresees the construction of a small military base for 150
00:15:44Moroccan soldiers as part of international stabilization
00:15:47forces. The project was awarded to the American company
00:15:50Arkel International. It will be built in the area under the control
00:15:54of the Israeli army. Although a complete reconstruction and the New Gaza project
00:15:58were previously announced, the plan has been reduced to a miniature pilot
00:16:01project. In the meantime, most of the two million inhabitants of Gaza
00:16:05still live in harsh conditions in camps without access to
00:16:09drinking water, while Amnesty International warns of
00:16:12thousands of bodies trapped
00:16:13under the rubble.
00:16:18Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan today in Jeddah
00:16:21signed a key trilateral defense agreement. In addition to
00:16:25closer military coordination, the agreement covers intelligence
00:16:28sharing, joint military exercises, and cooperation
00:16:31in the defense industry. The pact links the economic power of Saudi
00:16:35Arabia, Turkey's military technology as a NATO
00:16:38member, and Pakistan's nuclear potential. The agreement
00:16:42comes as a direct response to the escalation of the conflict between the USA and Iran
00:16:45and aims to protect maritime routes in the Red Sea
00:16:49and the Strait of
00:16:49Hormuz.
00:16:53This is pushing, but it may not happen and it may take
00:16:57time is for some countries in the region to say, we have to work more
00:17:00closely together so that we can contain and deter
00:17:04Israel so that we can have understandings, but so
00:17:07contain Iran and so that we have more independence from
00:17:11America, in the announcement of a of a some kind of security
00:17:14alliance, we we don't yet know how it's really going to play out, but even the
00:17:18announcement from Saudi, Turkia and Pakistan gives
00:17:22us a glimpse of one of the more
00:17:25important.
00:17:28The rating of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has fallen
00:17:32below the rating of leading military generals, according to a new survey
00:17:36by the Sozis agency. Zelensky has fallen to sixth place in
00:17:39popularity in the country, with only 18%
00:17:42of citizens giving him full support. The drop in popularity
00:17:46followed protests caused by the dismissal of Defense Minister
00:17:49Mykhailo Fedorov. In first place in terms of public trust is
00:17:53former Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Valerii Zaluzhnyi, ahead of
00:17:56Zelensky are Chief of General Staff Mykhailo Drapatyi and Head
00:18:00of Cabinet Kyrylo Budanov.
00:18:04Zelensky will pay an official visit to the Republic of Serbia tomorrow.
00:18:08The German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung assesses that the visit
00:18:11primarily represents a political signal. Serbian President Aleksandar
00:18:15Vučić said that he and Zelensky have several important topics for
00:18:18discussion, from the European path of Ukraine and Serbia, to economic and
00:18:22energy cooperation. What could all be topics of the visit and
00:18:26what did the history of meetings between Vučić and
00:18:29Zelensky look like, more in the analysis by Dušan
00:18:31Mlađenović. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
00:18:35is coming for his first visit to Serbia since the beginning of the Russian aggression in
00:18:402022. The topics of the visit are still
00:18:44being speculated, German media, specifically Frankfurter Allgemeine
00:18:47Zeitung, state that the main topic could be drone production
00:18:51in Serbia. Reportedly, an advisor to Zelensky has already visited
00:18:55Serbia several times, inspecting locations for possible
00:18:58production of unmanned aerial vehicles. Journalist Michael
00:19:01Martens writes that former American ambassador Christopher
00:19:05Hill told him that he connected Ukraine and Serbia and
00:19:08inquired with the Serbian authorities about ammunition, and that
00:19:12the USA then started buying a significant amount of weapons that
00:19:16Ukraine needed. This confirms the story that Serbian weapons
00:19:19ended up in Ukraine. Belgrade has always denied claims that it does this
00:19:23directly, but admitted that it is possible that it happens through
00:19:27third countries. Another version of Zelensky's visit, which
00:19:30all pro-regime media report, is the so-called
00:19:33Carpathian initiative, which would connect several countries
00:19:37of Eastern and Central Europe with Ukraine regarding
00:19:41logistics, economic development, security,
00:19:45tourism and reconstruction, but
00:19:48the idea stage. In this proposal, weapons are not
00:19:51mentioned. This visit had a precursor. In May,
00:19:55a high-level Ukrainian delegation came to Belgrade. At that time,
00:19:59there was a possibility that Zelensky himself would come, but that did not
00:20:02happen. Deputy Prime Minister Taras Kachka came, when
00:20:06several memorandums of cooperation and understanding were signed.
00:20:10Relations between Belgrade and Kyiv could be explained as complicated,
00:20:14to say the least. The first meeting between Zelensky and Vučić
00:20:17took place in early June 2023. So,
00:20:20a year and four months after the start of the war, at a meeting
00:20:24of the European Political Community, when they only
00:20:27shook hands. The first direct talks were held two months
00:20:33the Ukraine, Southeast Europe summit. On that occasion, the President
00:20:37of Serbia announced that Belgrade would continue to support
00:20:40and respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine, which
00:20:43he has been repeating since the beginning of the war. Belgrade has sent humanitarian
00:20:46aid to Kyiv several times, including generators, for
00:20:50which the Ukrainian state leadership thanked them. Kyiv is important
00:20:53for Belgrade also because it does not recognize the independence
00:20:56of Kosovo. Despite persistent demands from Brussels for Serbia
00:20:59to align with the foreign policy of the European Union, this has not yet
00:21:03happened. Serbia remains the only candidate for membership that has
00:21:06not distanced itself from Moscow, this is explained in Belgrade by
00:21:10centuries-old friendship with the Russian people and
00:21:13energy agreements. The Serbian president is criticized
00:21:16for having met with Vladimir Putin several times,
00:21:20including attending a military parade in Moscow
00:21:23in 2025, when he was, along with the Prime Minister of Slovakia,
00:21:26the only European official present. Moscow
00:21:29also has something to complain to Belgrade about, in June
00:21:312025, the Russian Foreign Intelligence
00:21:35Service announced that Russian weapons had ended up in
00:21:38Ukraine, which caused sharp reactions from Moscow, after which
00:21:42Belgrade banned arms exports, at least for a while.
00:21:46Reportedly, in Beijing, Putin personally complained to Vučić about
00:21:49this. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria
00:21:53Zakharova stated last year that it seems that
00:21:56there are different Vučićs because the Serbian president gives
00:22:00different statements when he is in Moscow and when he speaks from other
00:22:03positions. Brussels is probably closely monitoring the visit at a time
00:22:07when Ukraine is facing a shortage of weapons to
00:22:10respond to increasingly frequent and strong Russian drone and
00:22:14ballistic
00:22:15missile attacks.
00:22:19Hundreds of thousands of people in southwestern
00:22:21Japan are evacuating due to Typhoon
00:22:25Dolphin, over 500 flights have been cancelled, and part of the factories have ceased operations.
00:22:29The typhoon brings winds of up to 144
00:22:33km/h with gusts up to 200 km/h. An evacuation order has been issued for almost
00:22:36260,000 residents of Kagoshima and
00:22:40Okinawa prefectures due to the risk of flooding. The island of
00:22:44Kyushu, which is recovering from an earthquake of magnitude 7.1, is also affected.
00:22:47Thousands of people are in evacuation centers, and a heatwave
00:22:51is also threatening.
00:22:55Extreme heatwaves and drought have hit Central
00:22:58and Eastern Europe. Slovakia records a record 42 degrees Celsius.
00:23:02In Poland, two thermal power plants were shut down due to low water levels
00:23:05in the Vistula, while in Germany almost 12,000
00:23:09people died from the heat. The Paks nuclear power plant in Hungary is back online, but
00:23:13electricity saving is still being sought. Due to drought, extreme heat, and
00:23:16war conflicts, global food prices have reached a three-year
00:23:20record, with wheat, sugar, and vegetable oils increasing the most.

00:23:28An informal group of citizens of Goražde protested today in front of
00:23:31the city administration due to perennial problems with
00:23:34water supply, daily interruptions, especially during
00:23:37summer days. They demand an answer from the authorities as to when
00:23:40a stable water supply will be ensured, warn of problems
00:23:44in the operation of the company 6. March, water losses exceeding
00:23:4870% and long-standing problems in system
00:23:51management. They believe that previous repairs have not yielded
00:23:54expected results, and they demand long-term
00:23:57solutions.
00:23:59I would say that I only encouraged this small
00:24:03group of citizens to gather here today to
00:24:07try to solve the long-standing issue of water supply,
00:24:10meaning it's not just my problem, but a problem for all of us. I'm sorry that
00:24:14so few people responded to this gathering,
00:24:17I expected a much larger number of people... given that a much larger
00:24:21number of people contacted me to come today to support us,
00:24:24because this is a common problem. If we sit and remain silent,
00:24:27believe me, no one will solve
00:24:31our problems, we must stand up, we must fight for our
00:24:34rights, so that we can say that we have done something. Our demands are that our
00:24:38current mayor, together with
00:24:41city councilors, led by Mr. Dženis
00:24:45Ćuov, answer questions about what they have done
00:24:48during their mandate regarding
00:24:51water supply, why the pumps that should have been
00:24:55installed were not. installed, why were
00:24:5750,000 convertible marks, which were intended for the preparation
00:25:00of studies, directed to the festival
00:25:04and until when will our taps only have
00:25:07air, not water.
00:25:10The city of Goražde, within my mandate, undertook everything to bring March
00:25:146th to, let's say, a state that can be said to be
00:25:18nullified. That's regarding that.
00:25:20in these settlements where there is no water, with an operational plan now, immediately
00:25:23where it is possible to set up play areas, we are returning everything, I would
00:25:27like these citizens who protested to the political
00:25:30elites who, in the 90s and 2021, took
00:25:33millions of sums, did nothing for the people and today are here in front of the city
00:25:37administration, let them be, so that robbery and everything that was done that
00:25:41was not completed, it is a question for the prosecution, not for Mayor
00:25:45Imamović Ernest, I understand and I will do everything in
00:25:48these settlements where there was no water to bring water back to
00:25:52a state, what is technically possible now, the projects, all
00:25:55these that we have, we will put them into function, second,
00:25:59certain, certain, certain, let's say. political
00:26:03centers of power that appear on television and talk about the problem, I would
00:26:06invite them to accept all responsible positions, be directors and then see
00:26:10what it's like to solve water supply problems.
00:26:13continuation of the announced story about the Bijambare caves, and then
00:26:17this one.
00:26:20Vjetrenica becomes a refuge from the heat, the cave
00:26:24attracts more and more
00:26:25tourists.
00:26:29High temperatures fill swimming pools and other bathing
00:26:33areas, but more and more citizens find refreshment in nature. Bijambare
00:26:37are among the favorite destinations for escaping the heat. The greatest
00:26:40attention of visitors is attracted by
00:26:42the caves.
00:26:45While temperatures across Bosnia and Herzegovina reach their
00:26:48summer maximum, many seek refuge from the heat in
00:26:52nature. One of the favorite places for a break is
00:26:55the protected landscape of Bijambare, where dense forest, clean
00:26:59air and natural shade provide refreshment already. upon
00:27:02arrival, this is the first time we come here, whenever we go towards
00:27:06Sarajevo, we see it here, we never return, now we came specifically to
00:27:10explore this part of Bosnia and how are the
00:27:13impressions? fascinating, at first everyone
00:27:15thought they wouldn't like it, but everyone is delighted, we come here
00:27:19simply because it's beautiful, because it's
00:27:22nature, clean and the air, we simply love nature,
00:27:25precisely because of the lower temperatures that
00:27:29are felt, but also because of the unparalleled nature, this
00:27:32area is a favorite refuge for all those
00:27:35who seek salvation from summer heat, but
00:27:39the biggest attraction of this area are precisely the caves in
00:27:42which the temperature throughout the year is only 5
00:27:46degrees Celsius, precisely because of this,
00:27:48visitors, especially in summer, experience a real
00:27:52temperature shock, in the cave it's
00:27:54definitely a shock, but it's worth visiting
00:27:58and seeing, it's worth visiting for sure, just, as I said...
00:28:02so you need to bring something with you so that the
00:28:05temperature is a little more comfortable, because like this
00:28:08it's really a shock when you go down there, last year we were
00:28:12here, I was dressed like this in this environment and it was
00:28:16unpleasant, especially when you go a little deeper down there and
00:28:19this year I didn't plan to. In this
00:28:23area there are a total of eight caves, but the
00:28:26central cave stands out as the main tourist attraction, at the same time
00:28:30the most visited, its interior is adorned with
00:28:33calcite pools, cave decorations, the musical
00:28:36hall. This main cave is open from
00:28:40April to November, so visitors have the opportunity to come
00:28:44here every day during that period. Honestly,
00:28:47for me the most beautiful time of the year to visit is
00:28:50somehow at the beginning of spring, at the end of autumn,
00:28:54then the temperatures are quite pleasant outside as well,
00:28:56and the difference compared to the temperature in
00:29:00the cave is quite smaller. and mostly everyone brings jackets
00:29:04then, but during the summer we really record
00:29:08a large number of visitors, in addition to natural beauties and
00:29:11refreshment, visitors also have access to a new speleological
00:29:15exhibition, through which they can learn more about this
00:29:18protected area, precisely such contents, but
00:29:22also summer heat contribute to the growing interest
00:29:25of tourists, as far as I'm concerned, it's wonderful, because I'm escaping, I'm escaping the
00:29:29heat, also visitors come here to escape
00:29:32these extreme heats, mostly there are many guests
00:29:36compared to last year, about 15-20% more
00:29:39visitors, hmm, mostly our diaspora
00:29:43and approximately there are these guests from
00:29:46the Middle East, they are predominant now. While cities are struggling with
00:29:50summer heats, Bijambare remains a place where
00:29:53nature offers what climate devices cannot, that is
00:29:57fresh air, shade and complete peace. Dragica

00:30:04Numerous tourists find refreshment in the Vjetrenica cave,
00:30:07where the temperature throughout the year is around
00:30:1011 degrees. Reuters also reported on this natural attraction
00:30:14under UNESCO protection. It is located in
00:30:17the municipality of Ravno, due to the sensitivity of the ecosystem, the number
00:30:21of visitors is limited to groups of up to 80 people.
00:30:25According to the director Davor Baković, more than half of last year's
00:30:2821,000 visitors came during the summer.
00:30:33Vjetrenica is also a habitat for hundreds of specific organisms, the most
00:30:36famous of which is the human fish.
00:30:40UNESCO actually recognized Vjetrenica precisely under category 10,
00:30:44which includes biodiversity. Vjetrenica today ranks among
00:30:47the world's top when we talk about the number of living organisms, with
00:30:51231 species of organisms recorded here
00:30:55from the 19th century to today and we always particularly like to emphasize.
