00:00:28active, with numerous firefighters
00:00:30and helicopters deployed.
00:00:33The protest in the Mrkog uglja Zenica mine continues, with 10 Zenica miners
00:00:37still in the Raspotočje pit.
00:00:41Volodymyr Zelensky is on an official visit to Serbia, a memorandum
00:00:44of understanding in the field of agriculture has been signed between Serbia and
00:00:47Ukraine.
00:00:51The fire in the Kanjina and
00:00:54and get a full Živošnice area near Konjic is still active, and all available firefighters and professional
00:00:58firefighting units from Konjic are on the ground. Workers from the Prenj forest service. The fire
00:01:02engulfed the forest on steep and inaccessible terrain, which makes
00:01:05firefighting difficult. To assist the teams from Konjic, firefighting
00:01:08teams from Sarajevo, Tačin and Jablanica arrived. Helicopters of the armed
00:01:13current events are available on forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the Zeničko-dobojski Canton
00:01:17and air tractors are involved in extinguishing the fire.
00:01:21Well, unfortunately, the fire is still
00:01:24active today. What is good is that the lower part
00:01:28of the fire near the settlement, i.e., near
00:01:31the houses, was localized and extinguished last night, and we
00:01:35hope that today there will be no new problems, at least in that area.
00:01:39However, the fire is in a very inaccessible area
00:01:43and is now spreading uncontrollably in all directions.
00:01:46We have, even this morning, support in the form of helicopters
00:01:50from the armed forces, in the form of air tractors
00:01:52that are extinguishing the fire. Of course,
00:01:56firefighters are on the ground, so,
00:01:59today is a working day for us.
00:02:02We will try as much as possible to prevent
00:02:05further spreading so that houses and facilities are not endangered. Yesterday, we really
00:02:09had help from all
00:02:12sides. So, we had two vehicles from
00:02:15Sarajevo Canton with two
00:02:17you rightly noted, he actually avoided answering crews. We also had one helicopter from
00:02:20Zenica-Doboj Canton and one helicopter from the armed forces.
00:02:24Two air tractors from the HNK
00:02:28government also operated.
00:02:30We have firefighters from Jablanica, all our protection and rescue services
00:02:33were involved, so
00:02:36there were really a lot of people on the
00:02:39ground. Of course, we continue today, this
00:02:42morning, since early morning, helicopters are operating, air
00:02:45tractors. The situation is calmer when it comes
00:02:49to the fire, at least in this position where it can be extinguished from the
00:02:53ground. But considering that it is a pine forest, on a very
00:02:56steep terrain, the situation changes from hour to hour, so
00:03:00we must be
00:03:01present.
00:03:0510 miners from the Mrkog Uglja Zenica mine spent their fourth night in the Raspotočje pit, continuing their protest. Of
00:03:09the two miners who became
00:03:13ill on Friday and left the pit to receive help,
00:03:17one has returned to the pit. If the situation is not resolved, on
00:03:20Monday, all members of the main committee of the Mrkog Uglja Zenica
00:03:24mine union will join them in the pit, which will
00:03:27further radicalize the protest. They are protesting
00:03:30due to unpaid wages for May and June, which were promised to them last
00:03:34month. The salary for July is also due soon.
00:03:38Temporarily, for now only until September 6th, two days ago
00:03:42they were again able to certify their health
00:03:43insurance cards.
00:03:47Third month, so we are entering the fourth month, meaning we haven't had
00:03:50salaries.
00:03:53that. This means we have to come to buy food, fuel for the car.
00:03:55There are people who travel 40 km one way,
00:03:59you know. So, then there's the wife, children,
00:04:02electricity,
00:04:05food. It has just gotten up to our necks.
00:04:08Now these empty promises day after day, it will be today, it will be
00:04:12tomorrow. People have had enough. They have nothing
00:04:15more to lose. People closed themselves in the pit, which I
00:04:19support, it should have been done long
00:04:21considering that it comes at ago. The situation is such that these
00:04:2510 people who are currently left, they do not intend to come out until they receive
00:04:28a written confirmation that the payment of salaries for May, June
00:04:32and July will be on that
00:04:34typhoon is expected to make date. I mean, they are asking for a date from the
00:04:38relevant ministry. All the time the Zenica mine is closed,
00:04:41it's a day-to-day struggle. We, the miners of Zenica,
00:04:45cannot plan if they will go on vacation, if they will go with
00:04:49Dolphin to their children to rest, how this came about. So, everything started
00:04:52from salaries, to those health cards, to payment of
00:04:55contributions, nothing. They promise us everything. We are just
00:04:59here to wait and do as they
00:05:02say.
00:05:06A group of prominent American senators and members of the House of Representatives expressed
00:05:10deep concern about the positions of
00:05:1326 current and former employees and associates of the Srebrenica
00:05:17Memorial Center at police hearings,
00:05:19warning that the Memorial Center must be able to carry out
00:05:23its mission without intimidation. At the same time, they called on the American
00:05:27administration to implement mandatory sanctions provided for
00:05:30by the National Defense Act for fiscal year
00:05:332026 against individuals
00:05:36responsible for destabilizing actions and
00:05:39undermining democratic institutions. Earlier, the director
00:05:42of the Srebrenica Memorial Center, Emir Suljagić, sent a message to American
00:05:46senators and members of the US Congress House of Representatives.
00:05:50Suljagić also reacted to the statements of the Minister of Finance of Bosnia and
00:05:53Herzegovina, Srđan Amidžić, who said that he does not know why
00:05:57the director of the Srebrenica Memorial Center is nervous, nor
00:06:00why he has what he called "hysterical reactions" if that
00:06:04institution operates in accordance with the law, even though its work
00:06:07is clean and transparent. Suljagić claims that the latest
00:06:10events concerning the Srebrenica Memorial Center do not represent
00:06:14a legitimate investigation, but a political campaign of intimidation.
00:06:17He states that Amidžić is personally responsible for blocking laws and
00:06:21bylaws that are necessary for the Srebrenica Memorial Center
00:06:25to become more independent and financially sustainable, and
00:06:29that he, together with Milorad Dodik and Željka Cvijanović,
00:06:32joined the campaign of intimidation.
00:06:36Suljagić assessed that it is a political campaign aimed against
00:06:39Bosniaks in Srebrenica solely based on their
00:06:42nationality and place of
00:06:44work.
00:06:50Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is on an official visit to Serbia.
00:06:53After the ceremonial welcome in front of the Palace of Serbia, a
00:06:57meeting was held between Zelensky and Serbian President Aleksandar
00:07:00Vučić, followed by a meeting of the delegations of the two countries.
00:07:04A memorandum of understanding in the field of agriculture was signed between Serbia and
00:07:08Ukraine. The President of Serbia said that they discussed various
00:07:11topics, among other things, the European
00:07:15path of Serbia and Ukraine. Military cooperation was not discussed, said Vučić. Zelensky said that they are
00:07:19grateful that Serbia will provide a new package of humanitarian aid to Ukraine,
00:07:23especially in the areas of health and energy. He said that
00:07:26negotiations on a free trade agreement between Ukraine and Serbia
00:07:29are progressing.
00:07:33Vučić is trying to send a message to Berlin and Brussels with Zelensky's visit
00:07:37to Belgrade, all before the elections in Serbia, believes Duško Lopandić,
00:07:41a former diplomat. He adds that Zelensky's visit is a slap in the face for
00:07:45Russia. I think that the
00:07:48results will primarily be symbolic in nature, so I don't
00:07:52believe that now any big
00:07:56agreements, especially of this type that
00:07:58relate to military cooperation can be
00:08:02agreed upon. But it is certainly a shift of
00:08:05Belgrade towards, as I said,
00:08:08primarily towards Berlin, Brussels, in
00:08:11fact, a signal for which Vučić
00:08:14expects some kind of reward, right,
00:08:17this in the foreseeable future, and
00:08:20that will be the primary effect,
00:08:24I think, of this visit.
00:08:27But, I would say that Serbia is not in
00:08:31a position to completely side with one or the other
00:08:34side.
00:08:37At least three people, including a child, died overnight in
00:08:40Russian attacks near the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, a local
00:08:44official reported. Rockets hit an area east of Kyiv early this morning.
00:08:48Witnesses reported strong explosions just a few days after
00:08:51strikes across Ukraine killed 21 people.

00:09:08Typhoon Dolphin hit the southern Japanese prefecture of
00:09:11Okinawa, injuring six people and leaving more than 50,000
00:09:15buildings without electricity. Meanwhile, China
00:09:18closed ports and suspended ferry services ahead of
00:09:22the expected arrival of the storm on its eastern coast.
00:09:25Japanese domestic airlines canceled flights to
00:09:28and from Okinawa. The typhoon had a maximum wind speed of
00:09:32162 km/h, while gusts
00:09:35reached 216
00:09:37km/h. Okinawa and Amami Island are expected
00:09:41to be the most affected areas in Japan. In China, where the
00:09:47landfall between Sunday and Monday, authorities
00:09:50assigned Dolphin an orange category, the second highest
00:09:53warning level. Due to the danger of floods and landslides, authorities
00:09:57also raised the emergency response level for Typhoon
00:10:02level three.
00:10:05Let's also look at the weather forecast. Good afternoon,
00:10:08what kind of weather can we expect today until the end of the day?
00:10:13A weakened cold front has passed over our
00:10:16regions and caused a little
00:10:19cloudiness inland with occasional
00:10:23thunderstorms. Air temperatures have dropped
00:10:26a little. The weather situation is such that after
00:10:30that cold, cold
00:10:32front, the ridge of
00:10:35the anticyclone strengthens, so the weather continues to stabilize
00:10:38and we expect the return of a heat
00:10:42wave, because we continue to have an influx of warm
00:10:45air from Africa over our
00:10:48regions. The highest daily temperatures will be
00:10:51slightly lower today than
00:10:55they were yesterday, with maximum
00:10:58temperatures ranging from 29 to
00:11:0131 degrees. However, along the Adriatic and in
00:11:04Herzegovina, the warm
00:11:07weather continues, hot weather with temperatures up to
00:11:1038°C. Only locally, a
00:11:14thunderstorm is possible during the
00:11:18afternoon hours, mainly in
00:11:21the mountainous areas inland. In short,
00:11:25today mostly sunny and hot,
00:11:28rare thunderstorms. You can follow more about the weather

00:13:43Today we are talking about problems
00:13:48that are becoming more common: fatigue, lack of energy, heart
00:13:51problems, and lack of stamina. With us is Dr.
00:13:55Jasmina Ćorović Kuburović. Good day,
00:13:58Doctor. Good day to you, and thank you for the invitation. People often
00:14:01truly think that fatigue is normal, but very often behind that
00:14:05lies a lack of energy at the cellular level.
00:14:09This is where Coenzyme Q10 plays a vital role.
00:14:12Doctor, what exactly is Q10 and why is it so
00:14:15important? Coenzyme Q10 is a substance that participates in the creation
00:14:19of energy in our cells. BMT
00:14:22Coenzyme Q10 is supported by vitamins and antioxidants
00:14:25that protect cells from damage and additionally, of course, contribute
00:14:29to the vitality of the organism. And what is particularly important about this
00:14:33preparation is that VMT Coenzyme Q10 is
00:14:37microencapsulated, which means it is protected and much
00:14:40better absorbed in the body. This technology specifically enables
00:14:44Coenzyme Q10 to have a stronger and more stable effect in generating
00:14:48energy at that cellular level, especially in
00:14:51the heart, which consumes the most energy. Who is
00:14:55BMTQ10 particularly recommended for, Doctor?
00:14:58It is recommended for people who experience fatigue and
00:15:01exhaustion, those who have a lack of stamina, then
00:15:05for those with low or high blood pressure,
00:15:09high cholesterol, high blood sugar. It is also very important for
00:15:13people with arrhythmias, angina pectoris, then
00:15:16heart failure, but also for those with poor
00:15:20circulation and problems with blood vessels. Also
00:15:23recommended for those recovering after a heart
00:15:27attack, stroke, and after other serious illnesses or
00:15:31muscle weakness, and certainly for those who experience
00:15:34headaches, have a drop in concentration, or a bad mood. It is
00:15:37especially important for those people who are under
00:15:40stress, certainly for smokers and those who use
00:15:44therapies such as statins and antibiotics and
00:15:47antidepressants. Doctor, can you explain what
00:15:51exactly this combination of magnesium and
00:15:54BMTQ10 contains and why it is so effective? First
00:15:57of all, magnesium in this preparation comes in multiple
00:16:01different forms such as citrate, malate, bisglycinate, and others,
00:16:05which enables significantly better
00:16:08absorption and utilization in the body, and
00:16:11thanks to that, it then effectively relaxes muscles,
00:16:15reduces cramps, affects the nervous system, and helps with
00:16:19fatigue, stress, and poor sleep. If you recognize yourself in
00:16:22these problems, dear viewers, now is the right
00:16:26time to react. Call now 0800

00:18:08You are following N1 live regarding the visit of the President of Ukraine
00:18:12to Serbia. About ten, fifteen
00:18:15minutes ago, the press conference of the two
00:18:18presidents at the Palace of Serbia concluded. Now we are going to
00:18:22where Aleksandra Gotfroa is waiting for us. Aleksandra, what
00:18:24could we hear at this conference, what didn't we
00:18:28hear, and what could be read between
00:18:31the lines?
00:18:32Well, perhaps the most indicative
00:18:36thing is what we heard at the very end. So, the President of Serbia,
00:18:40Aleksandar Vučić, claims that there was no discussion of any
00:18:44military cooperation, that Serbia is indeed building a drone
00:18:48factory, but with Israelis, and that it will be opened in
00:18:51September. What is also indicative is that it was the second
00:18:55time during his
00:18:58statements, Aleksandar Vučić's statements, that he said "after the war." So,
00:19:02after the war, Serbia will discuss possible military
00:19:05cooperation, perhaps with
00:19:08Ukraine. He used the same formulation "after the war"
00:19:11in relation to closer foreign
00:19:14policy relations with Ukraine, foreign policy,
00:19:17joint action towards third
00:19:20countries. So, those analysts who spoke about the fact that
00:19:24Zelensky's arrival for an official visit
00:19:27to Serbia for the first time, actually we heard that he is actually the first
00:19:31Ukrainian president in eight years who is coming here. It does not
00:19:35mean a change in Serbia's foreign
00:19:39policy, it does not
00:19:41mean turning away from Moscow, although we can say
00:19:45that the very act of Zelensky's arrival here is a kind
00:19:49of slap in the face to Moscow, primarily a slap that
00:19:52comes from Kyiv and the European
00:19:55Union. What we concretely heard during
00:19:58these statements, during these addresses, is that Serbia
00:20:01will send additional humanitarian aid to Ukraine,
00:20:05mainly medicines. It will also send
00:20:08humanitarian aid in the form of
00:20:12elements for Ukraine's electrical
00:20:15power system. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said
00:20:18that almost no power plant
00:20:21or power station in Ukraine has been undamaged
00:20:24in these attacks. You rightly
00:20:27noted, Dušan, that there was a drastic difference in tone and
00:20:31statements, in the content of the statements of the two presidents. So, the Ukrainian
00:20:35president started his presentation
00:20:37with a report not from the front,
00:20:41but a report on civilian casualties in the last 24
00:20:45hours in Ukraine. So, something they live with
00:20:49on... This continues at the very end of his speech,
00:20:53where he stated that Ukraine actually has neither the time nor can it afford
00:20:56to be skeptical about membership in the European
00:20:59Union. So, obviously, both Zelensky and
00:21:03Vučić said that they had long discussed the topic of membership in
00:21:07the European Union. Of course, both countries will support each other on
00:21:10those paths, but unlike
00:21:14Ukraine, Aleksandar Vučić says there is great skepticism in
00:21:18Serbia.
00:21:20He himself expressed skepticism that either Serbia or
00:21:24Ukraine will ever, or in the near future, become
00:21:26a member of that country. So, these
00:21:30are some forms, or some things they
00:21:33discussed, which they announced to journalists. What they actually
00:21:37discussed, they did not announce to journalists, we really cannot
00:21:40know that at this moment. Again,
00:21:44Aleksandar Vučić claims there was absolutely no discussion of any
00:21:47forms of military cooperation
00:21:51on this occasion, and that it is left
00:21:55yes, Aleksandra, as you said, Volodymyr Zelensky started by talking about
00:21:58the situation since last night in Ukraine,
00:22:02while Aleksandar Vučić took a formal
00:22:06stance. So, he mentioned that Serbia and Ukraine are friendly countries,
00:22:10that Serbia supports the UN Charter, UN
00:22:13resolutions, and there is also support for EU integration,
00:22:16as you said. However, the question was interesting.
00:22:20Uh, so the Ukrainian journalist asked him
00:22:23how Putin could be influenced to end
00:22:27this war, while Aleksandar Vučić in his answer did not mention
00:22:30Vladimir Putin by name, but said that he could not give
00:22:34serious assessments about when and how
00:22:38the war would end, that he would
00:22:41like the war to end tomorrow, but that it was not possible.
00:22:45Uh, so, uh, he avoided mentioning
00:22:48Russia in any way, even to a direct question
00:22:52from Ukrainian journalists mentioning uh,
00:22:55Vladimir
00:22:56Putin.
00:23:00Exactly. So, he didn't mention Moscow, the Kremlin, or Putin
00:23:03in his statements, and
00:23:07that question. He simply said that he could not speculate how and
00:23:10when the war would end, but that he feared it would
00:23:13last a long, long time. It wouldn't
00:23:17be questionable to mention Putin in front of the
00:23:20Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who came here
00:23:23on an official visit. So, perhaps it
00:23:27wouldn't be, I don't know if it would be according to protocol, but it certainly wouldn't
00:23:30be according to a kind of good
00:23:33upbringing. Again, it is perfectly clear from
00:23:37the content of what was stated that, you know,
00:23:40policy will not change. Also, Aleksandar Vučić did not say "we will never
00:23:44impose sanctions on Russia," which is something he does not
00:23:47fail to say every time he mentions, otherwise, in the
00:23:51past, that Serbia respects the territorial integrity and sovereignty
00:23:55of Ukraine. This time, the first part was insisted upon,
00:23:58as well as the fact that Ukraine respects the territorial
00:24:01integrity of Serbia and does not recognize Kosovo.
00:24:05Volodymyr Zelensky said that this policy will not change, that
00:24:08Ukraine will not recognize Kosovo, and that it will respect the territorial
00:24:12integrity of Serbia, just as it respects the territorial integrity of all
00:24:15other UN member states, and ultimately demands that its own
00:24:19be respected. And Aleksandra,
00:24:22thank you very much for this report. Aleksandra reported
00:24:25from the Palace of Serbia. And about
00:24:28how Washington views this visit,
00:24:31especially the mentioning by European media
00:24:34of the role of Christopher Hill, former US Ambassador, in connecting
00:24:38Belgrade and Kyiv regarding weapons, Edward
00:24:42Joseph from John Hopkins University spoke about that
00:24:45earlier for N1. Let's watch that too.
00:24:49Mr. Joseph.
00:25:02is coming to Serbia, various topics are on the
00:25:05table. How do you see this visit, especially
00:25:11a time when Ukraine says it lacks weapons
00:25:15for defense against
00:25:16Russia?
00:25:20First of all, this is a very important visit and no one
00:25:23should doubt that. And when
00:25:26all is said and done, it is very positive because, first
00:25:30and foremost, it sends a very important message across
00:25:33Serbia, but also to Serbia's neighbors,
00:25:36that there is no chance
00:25:39that Russia will win this war. Because why
00:25:43would Belgrade, why would President
00:25:46Vučić invite the president of a country that
00:25:50will lose the war? So, anyone in Serbia who is
00:25:53pro-Russian, anyone in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:25:57Montenegro, anywhere in the neighborhood, even
00:26:00in Bulgaria, who thinks that Russia
00:26:04will somehow win, I think that President
00:26:07Zelensky's visit sends a strong message
00:26:11that this is simply not the case, that he
00:26:15is in fact the victor. He emerged from
00:26:18the NATO summit as a victor, which President
00:26:21Trump and other NATO allies recognized as
00:26:24an increasingly strong leader of an exceptional and resilient country.
00:26:28But despite all that, Dušan, this visit will not change.
00:26:40manipulates the situation with his relationship with Vladimir Putin and
00:26:42Russia. Yes, so what does this
00:26:46visit bring to Aleksandar Vučić?
00:26:50Well, for him, it is a matter of prestige. Let's not
00:26:53forget, President Zelensky is one of the most
00:26:57recognizable,
00:27:00certainly one of the most respected. personalities in
00:27:04the world, he holds a very
00:27:07prominent place on the world stage, he met with
00:27:10President Trump in the Oval Office multiple times, he was
00:27:14in the spotlight at the recent NATO summit,
00:27:18he was a star where he gave a speech.
00:27:21So, for President Vučić, this
00:27:24represents recognition and prestige, especially at
00:27:28a time when he is further facing
00:27:31serious protests and
00:27:33widespread opposition from Serbian citizens
00:27:37to his rule, so, there is
00:27:40a factor of prestige there, but no one should be under
00:27:44the illusion that this will somehow
00:27:47change Serbia's stance. Even President Vučić
00:27:51stated that Serbia will not change its
00:27:54stance on sanctions against Russia. So, there should
00:27:58be no illusions about that, but despite that,
00:28:02this is... still a very significant visit, yes, but how will he
00:28:06explain this to his pro-Russian voters who constitute the majority of his
00:28:09voters, how will he
00:28:20started explaining it, playing
00:28:23the Kosovo card and saying, well,
00:28:27look, Ukraine does not recognize
00:28:30Kosovo, and Kosovo was not present at the meetings in
00:28:34Kyiv, so President Vučić will present it that
00:28:37way, but that is not an argument, that
00:28:40is not a strong argument anywhere, because first of all,
00:28:44there is absolutely no comparison
00:28:46between the NATO bombing
00:28:49in 1999 and Russian actions against Ukraine,
00:28:53starting in 2014, as well as
00:28:56this harsh, brutal aggression that
00:29:00continues with nightly
00:29:02bombings of Kyiv with direct targeting of civilian
00:29:06targets in Ukraine and civilian
00:29:09infrastructure, so that
00:29:11argument cannot pass, furthermore,
00:29:15when these two cases are compared, Vladimir Putin
00:29:18is the one who benefits from such a
00:29:21comparison. Vladimir Putin is the one who tries
00:29:25to make the argument, look, NATO did that
00:29:28to Serbia, I can do that to Ukraine, as some in
00:29:31Serbia have noted. This represents a tacit recognition
00:29:35of Kosovo by Vladimir Putin, but the German
00:29:39Faz states that one of the topics will be the opening, or rather,
00:29:42the possibility of building a drone factory in
00:29:46Serbia, do you think that is even possible given
00:29:49Belgrade's relationship with Moscow, and how
00:29:52Moscow would react to
00:29:56I wouldn't rule out
00:29:59the possibility that it is possible, I don't know. "Will
00:30:03it really happen?"
00:30:05Serbia previously signed a contract with
00:30:09an Israeli company regarding
00:30:12the production of drones,
00:30:15but that is certainly a possibility. Ukraine has
00:30:18shown impressive resilience, and that is why
00:30:21Serbs, or all Serbs who harbor
00:30:25some support for Russia or Vladimir Putin, should
00:30:28reconsider. Russia is a declining state.
00:30:32All it does is send thousands of people,
00:30:35thousands of young Russians to their deaths for a futile
00:30:39goal, it is a country that is declining.
00:30:43Ukraine, on the other hand, is a globally recognized leader
00:30:46in drone technology, and that is why it is a strong
00:30:50reason for those in Serbia who still hold
00:30:54some strange pro-Russian
00:30:57sympathies to change their minds.
