00:00:25Good evening, dear viewers, welcome to
00:00:27the news.
00:00:31The fire near Konjic is still active, the situation is better compared to
00:00:34yesterday.
00:00:39From tonight's news, we also
00:00:41highlight.
00:00:46The protest in the Zenica brown coal mine continued, 10 Zenica
00:00:49miners are still in the Raspotočje
00:00:51pit.
00:00:55American senators and congressmen after pressure on the Srebernik
00:00:59memorial center, demand
00:01:00sanctions.
00:01:04Volodymyr Zelenskyy on an official visit to Serbia discussed with Vučić
00:01:08the European path and the improvement of cooperation, a memorandum
00:01:11of understanding in the field
00:01:12of agriculture was signed.
00:01:16We have not
00:01:17discussed
00:01:21any military cooperation
00:01:22today.
00:01:25We still need more money so that our defense industry can
00:01:28produce twice as much as it produces
00:01:30today.
00:01:34In Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the coming days, sunny and hot, in the south
00:01:38of the country, temperatures up to 41 degrees
00:01:41Celsius.
00:01:47The fire near Konjic is still active, but the situation is better
00:01:50than this morning.
00:01:52is transferred to more expensive trucks and Trebinje sighed with relief after the fire was extinguished, but a downpour
00:01:55that refreshed that part of Herzegovina. Given
00:01:58the continuation of a period of extremely high temperatures, the authorities
00:02:01appeal for caution.
00:02:04The fire in the area of Kanjina and Živašnica near Konjic is still
00:02:08active, but the situation on the ground is significantly better than
00:02:11this morning. The competent services confirm that houses and other
00:02:14facilities are not threatened. The situation today is better than in previous days
00:02:18although the fire is active today. Well,
00:02:21the fire spread to a huge
00:02:25area, I would say. It's about several
00:02:29or if they will remain only on hectares. So that... we have units deployed everywhere
00:02:32on various branches of the fire, what
00:02:35we are doing today is that together with the firefighters
00:02:39we have the help of air tractors and helicopters
00:02:42and from early morning they have been active on the fire site. I can
00:02:46say that they were successful, the intensity of the fire has been
00:02:49greatly reduced, but we still have to be there given
00:02:53the high temperatures, the wind that is
00:02:56appearing again, rekindling and again...
00:03:00the fire starting, so we are here together with the citizens,
00:03:04it's calm, the fire goes on, the wind is a difficult
00:03:07terrain, now there are air operations
00:03:10there, as for the firefighters, they are there, because there are in this
00:03:14one part also residential buildings, they take care
00:03:18there, the rest is about air support. About 15
00:03:22firefighters from the professional fire department of Konjic,
00:03:25volunteer fire brigades and forestry workers. Prenj, as
00:03:29assistance to colleagues in the endangered
00:03:32area, members of the professional fire department of the Cantonal
00:03:36Civil Protection Administration of Sarajevo Canton also acted.
00:03:39The situation changes from hour to hour, because
00:03:43the wind is strong the pine
00:03:46forest burns quickly. People are
00:03:50on the ground, as soon as we call, the locals also
00:03:52help, extinguish, arrive immediately on
00:03:55time, we are on duty, we don't sleep. Fire and other
00:03:59competent services continue activities at the fire site, due to
00:04:02high temperatures and wind, the situation is being closely monitored. On
00:04:06the other hand, good news comes from Trebinje, where the fire was completely
00:04:09extinguished, and the situation was made even more favorable by the rain
00:04:13that fell during
00:04:14the day.
00:04:19However, calls for caution come from all parts of the country. The Municipal
00:04:22Civil Protection Service Posušje issued a warning to citizens,
00:04:26tourists, weekenders and visitors of Blidinje Nature
00:04:29Park. That due to high temperatures and extremely dry
00:04:32vegetation, careless lighting of fires poses a serious
00:04:36danger of forest fires. They remind that
00:04:39open fires in forests on forest land near
00:04:43forests are strictly prohibited and legally punishable. Since
00:04:46in most of Bosnia and Herzegovina a period of extremely high
00:04:50temperatures continues without significant precipitation, the authorities call for
00:04:54caution and responsible behavior. Nataša Kerezović,
00:04:57N1.
00:05:00Ten miners of the Zenica Brown Coal Mine are still in the
00:05:04Raspotočje pit, continuing their protest, they say: "they will not give up
00:05:08until their earned wages are paid, the deadline is Monday."
00:05:12when the protest could be
00:05:15radicalized. It's the fifth night for the miners in
00:05:19Raspotočje. They haven't left the pit since Tuesday and will not
00:05:22leave without a written confirmation that their wages will be paid, and these
00:05:26people down there who have gone down are already sitting there, they
00:05:29explicitly demand that the minister write, because
00:05:32they keep promising, it will be today, it will be tomorrow, it will be in a day
00:05:36or two, so they don't believe anymore, they just want one sentence from the minister to write
00:05:40that three salaries will be paid then. Due to poor
00:05:43health, two miners had to leave the pit yesterday
00:05:47to receive medical assistance. One of them returned
00:05:50and rejoined his colleagues. From Monday,
00:05:53the support in the pit could be even greater, as all members of the main board
00:05:57of the Zenica Brown Coal Mine union could join them,
00:06:00which will further radicalize the
00:06:03protest. This is the third month, we are entering the fourth
00:06:06month, meaning we don't have salaries. So
00:06:09we have to buy food, fuel. "There are people
00:06:13who travel 40 km in one direction,
00:06:17so where are the wife, children,
00:06:19electricity,
00:06:22food, so it's more than enough,
00:06:25now these empty promises day after day, it will be today, it will be
00:06:29tomorrow, people are fed up,
00:06:32they have nothing more to lose, people locked themselves in the pit, which I
00:06:36support, it should have been done long ago, unlike the workers
00:06:40of the other six mines from the koncern EL..." economy of Bosnia and
00:06:43Herzegovina, for the miners in Zenica, their existence
00:06:46is at stake, they are all family people, they have children and yesterday we
00:06:50had that conversation where it
00:06:53touches a stone, not a human, please tell
00:06:57him that his child misses him and wants him to come and that touches
00:07:01you, it simply touches you, we tried that too, no,
00:07:04no, is it that you get into that situation, tell them that he is fine, that
00:07:08everything is okay, yes, but it is not okay, it is really
00:07:12not okay, trust in institutions and trade union structures is almost
00:07:16completely destroyed, although they were temporarily allowed to verify
00:07:19their health booklets only until September 6th,
00:07:23basic existential questions remain unresolved, workers have
00:07:27still not been paid their salaries for May and June, although this was
00:07:30promised to them last month, while the July
00:07:34salary is also due
00:07:35soon.
00:07:40A group of prominent American senators and members of the House
00:07:44of Representatives expressed deep concern over the summoning
00:07:47of 26 current and former employees and associates
00:07:50of the Srebrenica Memorial Center for police interrogations,
00:07:54warning that the Memorial Center must be able to carry out
00:07:58its mission without intimidation. At the same time, they called on the US
00:08:02administration to implement mandatory sanctions provided
00:08:05by the National Defense Act for fiscal year 2026
00:08:09against individuals responsible for destabilizing
00:08:12actions and undermining democratic institutions. Earlier,
00:08:16the director of the Srebrenica Memorial Center, Emir Suljagić, sent
00:08:19a message to American senators and members of the US House
00:08:23of Representatives. Suljagić reacted to
00:08:26the statements of the Minister of Finance of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Srđan Amidžić,
00:08:29who said that he does not know why the director of the Srebrenica Memorial Center
00:08:33is nervous or why, as he called them,
00:08:37hysterical reactions, if that institution operates in
00:08:40accordance with the law, even though its work is clean and transparent.
00:08:44Suljagić claims that the latest events concerning the Srebrenica Memorial Center
00:08:48do not represent a legitimate investigation but a political
00:08:51campaign of intimidation. He states that Amidžić is personally
00:08:54responsible for blocking laws and bylaws that are
00:08:58needed for the Srebrenica Memorial Center to become more independent
00:09:02and financially sustainable, and that he, along with Milorad Dodik and
00:09:06Željka Cvijanović, joined the intimidation campaign.
00:09:09Suljagić assessed that it is a political campaign directed against
00:09:12Bosniaks in Srebrenica exclusively based on their nationality
00:09:16and the place where
00:09:17they work.
00:09:22Until the end of the diary, don't miss this
00:09:25story.
00:09:28The Danube near Novi Sad receded to the point that it revealed
00:09:32something previously
00:09:33unseen.
00:09:39For the first time in eight years, the President of Ukraine visited
00:09:43Serbia, a country that is among the few that have not imposed
00:09:46sanctions on Russia, which is considered pro-Russian in the
00:09:50Balkans. The focus of the two presidents' discussions was
00:09:53the European path, infrastructure, economic
00:09:56and energy cooperation. Officially, behind closed doors,
00:09:59there were no talks about military
00:10:01matters.
00:10:04Red carpet, guard and discretely decorated city with Ukrainian flags
00:10:07for the first visit of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to a country where sympathies for
00:10:11Russia and Vladimir Putin are not hidden. The fact that before his visit
00:10:15it was mentioned in public that the two countries could discuss joint construction
00:10:18of a drone factory, his host in Serbia decidedly
00:10:22denies. Perhaps something remained
00:10:25behind closed doors, a meeting of the two presidents who already
00:10:28had a gala dinner yesterday and instead of the planned 30 minutes it lasted
00:10:32twice as long. We did not discuss
00:10:35any
00:10:38military cooperation today.
00:10:40And today's
00:10:43time, what
00:10:45will
00:10:47happen when the work is finished, that's another thing, and
00:10:51as for
00:10:53the killings, I hope the killings will stop. We will
00:10:56open a drone factory here in September, but
00:11:00with the Israelis. We are doing this with the Israelis. Ukrainians are very successful
00:11:03and have many of their own
00:11:07drone factories. Furthermore, we still need more money so that
00:11:11our defense industry can produce twice as much as it produces today.
00:11:14These are huge sums of money, it's about billions. Today the president asked me,
00:11:18I shared this with him, I won't reveal it to the media today, but
00:11:21Ukraine doesn't have as much money as Russia uses for its war.
00:11:25"We won't have it, what we have and what we need, we have with the help of other
00:11:29countries." The two presidents did not utter Vladimir Putin's name in their address
00:11:32to the media, but a Ukrainian
00:11:34journalist did.
00:11:37Mr. President, why does Vladimir Putin want to continue
00:11:41this aggression and this war and maybe you see some
00:11:44signals that he is ready for a real negotiation
00:11:47process.
00:11:50I cannot give serious assessments and assumptions about whether the war will
00:11:53end soon or not. So soon, I undoubtedly believe and the entire
00:11:57international community, including Serbia, all our people would
00:12:00like this war to end as soon as possible. A common
00:12:04topic for the two countries is membership in the European Union, on that path Kyiv and
00:12:08Belgrade are not rivals, but
00:12:09partners.
00:12:12That is not just reality, it is not just enthusiasm in choosing the European Union and
00:12:16choosing that path. I understand the skepticism of Aleksandar, which he shared
00:12:19with me last night in detail. Ukraine simply has no time for
00:12:22skepticism or anything else.
00:12:25In war, in that war, we defend our independence, understanding of what
00:12:28Ukraine should be in the future, that is simply
00:12:31a step chosen jointly by the state
00:12:34and the people, we talked for a long time, I presented
00:12:37our position
00:12:41to President Zelenskyy. I fully understand
00:12:44Ukraine's position on that issue, Ukraine
00:12:47wants to open all clusters as soon as possible,
00:12:51Ukraine wants quick membership in the European Union.
00:12:58"I told President Zelenskyy
00:13:00that
00:13:03I understand all that, and I understand of course that kind
00:13:06of enthusiasm,
00:13:08but that as President of Serbia, as someone who is a political veteran, I do not see at this
00:13:12moment the possibility, primarily for Serbia, I was not
00:13:16talking about Ukraine, so primarily for Serbia to soon
00:13:20become a member of the European Union for
00:13:23numerous political reasons." The plan is to conclude
00:13:26a free trade agreement between the two countries by the end of the year. During this visit, a
00:13:30memorandum of cooperation in the field of animal health and food
00:13:33safety was signed. Serbia will continue to send humanitarian aid to
00:13:37the war-affected Ukrainian people, and Serbia is ready to help rebuild
00:13:41one city. Žana Bulajić, N1

00:13:47How could Brussels react to Zelenskyy's visit to Belgrade,
00:13:50and how could Moscow? What did the former American ambassador say before the
00:13:54visit? And what remained in the background of the two presidents' talks
00:13:57in Jelena
00:13:59Mirković's story.
00:14:02The fact that for the first time shoulder to shoulder in Belgrade
00:14:05the presidents of Serbia and Ukraine met, is a signal
00:14:09of the importance of the visit, but an important signal to Brussels and
00:14:12Russia itself, assesses former diplomat Duško
00:14:15Lopandić. This is certainly a shift
00:14:18of Belgrade towards, as I said,
00:14:21primarily towards Berlin, Brussels, in fact.
00:14:25signals for which Vučić expects
00:14:29some reward, in the foreseeable
00:14:32future and that will be
00:14:35the primary effect I think of this
00:14:39visit, but I would say
00:14:42that Serbia is not in a position to fully take
00:14:46one side or the other. Balancing continues,
00:14:50believes Nikola Ksavijeref from the German Council
00:14:53on Foreign Policy. He says that because of what was seen in
00:14:57Belgrade and what Aleksandar Vučić said, Moscow will not
00:15:00be angry. In the Kremlin, there will be no negative sentiments towards
00:15:04this, of course they are not happy, but
00:15:08that is the politics where of course diplomatic packaging
00:15:11always contains differences that
00:15:14can be lived with. I think that this visit also
00:15:18through this press conference clearly
00:15:22shows that there was a formal part, a
00:15:26non-formal part and everything that, everything that
00:15:29is essentially tricky was left, that is, it
00:15:33was the subject of discussion during last night's
00:15:36extensive dinner. That remains unknown, but
00:15:40that is not surprising, says former Ukrainian consul in Belgrade
00:15:43Aleksandar Levchenko, because Belgrade, he states, has peculiar
00:15:47relations with Moscow, with Ukraine, that should not be mixed
00:15:51and it is important that these relations are for
00:15:54the interest of our two states, we have
00:15:57what to say here
00:15:59about our European path, meaning Ukraine and
00:16:03Serbia are heading towards accession to the European Union,
00:16:07that is important. And we have somewhat similar
00:16:10views on negotiations with our European partners
00:16:14and how difficult it is to open chapters, especially
00:16:18even more difficult to close negotiating
00:16:20chapters. Moscow has repeatedly criticized Belgrade for Serbian
00:16:24weapons ending up in Ukraine. In an interview
00:16:27with German Faz, former US Ambassador
00:16:31to Serbia, Christopher Hill, says that he was the
00:16:35mediator between Belgrade and Kyiv. However, experts say
00:16:38that the claims in the mentioned text that Kyiv and Belgrade
00:16:42are planning joint work on drones are for now unlikely.
00:16:45I would not rule out the possibility that it is possible, I don't know
00:16:49if it will actually happen. Serbia previously concluded a contract with an
00:16:53Israeli company regarding the production of drones, but that
00:16:56is certainly a possibility. Ukraine has shown impressive
00:17:00resilience, precisely why Serbs, that is, all Serbs who
00:17:03harbor some support for Russia or Vladimir Putin
00:17:07should. "rethink it, Serbia has something that can help
00:17:10Ukraine in resisting Russia, but
00:17:14uh, the idea that now somehow all
00:17:17efforts will be put in one place, here one must still
00:17:20be careful, because Serbia still
00:17:23counts on maintaining a relationship
00:17:26with Russia, uh, I think that has long
00:17:30ceased to be a partnership, but the former
00:17:34Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar does not think so.
00:17:38For the Russian media, he states that Zelenskyy's visit to Belgrade is not in line with
00:17:42the wishes of Serbian citizens and represents the result of pressure
00:17:45from Brussels and the revenge of the European Union due to, as he said,
00:17:49President Aleksandar Vučić's refusal to sign
00:17:52an anti-Russian declaration from the Ukraine-Southeast Europe summit
00:17:55held in July. Jelena Mirković,

00:18:05At least three people, including one child, were killed overnight in Russian
00:18:09attacks near the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, a local
00:18:13official reported. Missiles hit the area east of
00:18:16Kyiv early this morning, witnesses reported powerful explosions, just
00:18:19a few days after 21 people were killed in strikes across
00:18:23Ukraine. Emergency services extinguished
00:18:27fires in a building and a fuel tank in Kyiv,

00:18:37Typhoon Dolphin hit Japan's southern prefecture of Okinawa, injuring
00:18:40six people, more than 50,000 households
00:18:44were left without electricity. China, meanwhile,
00:18:47closed ports and suspended ferry traffic ahead
00:18:51of the expected arrival of the storm on its east coast. Japanese
00:18:54domestic airlines canceled flights to and from
00:18:58Okinawa. The typhoon had a maximum wind speed of 162
00:19:02km/h, while gusts reached
00:19:05216 km/h. Okinawa and
00:19:08Amami Island are expected to be the most affected areas in Japan
00:19:12and China, where the typhoon is expected to make landfall
00:19:16between Sunday and Monday, authorities have assigned Dolphin
00:19:19an orange category, the second highest warning level,
00:19:23due to the risk of floods and landslides, authorities also
00:19:26raised the emergency response level for Typhoon Dolphin to level

00:19:35The water level of the Danube near Novi Sad has never been so low,
00:19:39the receding water revealed numerous remains of the past,
00:19:42the N1 team explored by boat everything that has emerged
00:19:46these days.
00:19:49The Danube near Novi Sad has fallen so much that what has been hidden
00:19:52for decades has begun to emerge from the water. To see what
00:19:56the river left behind, we get on a boat with Borislav,
00:20:00who practically grew up on the river. And the first thing he
00:20:03shows us is what should not have been in the middle of the river.
00:20:09What are we currently standing on? Well, we are standing on an incredible place, we are standing
00:20:12on the remaining foundations
00:20:15of the Petronije fortress which stood on the war island, which was once
00:20:19in the middle of the Danube and simply this has never
00:20:23come out, as far as I know, in my lifetime and fishermen and people around me
00:20:26who have spent a lot of time on the Danube do not remember such a sight,
00:20:30I mean I've never seen this. Never like this, say even those
00:20:34who are now researching the phenomenon. At this place stood... The Serbian
00:20:37trench built at the end of the 17th century to protect the fortress, but
00:20:41the Danube swallowed it during the following centuries. As old
00:20:45cadastral maps show, that fortress was
00:20:48slowly disappearing with the waves of the Danube until it completely disappeared
00:20:52by the end of the 19th century, now, thanks to such a low
00:20:56water level of the Danube, we are for the first time able to
00:20:59see some remains of that
00:21:02fortification. With the receding water, objects from
00:21:05different eras emerged, from Turkish and Austrian pipes to
00:21:09cannonballs from the time of the siege, however, while some are researching what the river
00:21:12revealed, others are having difficulty sailing because of it, but in the last
00:21:16week and a half, all traffic has stopped,
00:21:19even some boats cannot leave their
00:21:22Danube spots where they are
00:21:25parked in marinas, and to see how much the Danube has receded and where it
00:21:29is now shallowest, we continue by boat from Oficirac to Novi
00:21:32Sad, where new sandbanks have emerged from the water, so
00:21:36here we are currently above the Freedom Bridge and
00:21:39this is where all the rafts of Novi Sad are, you can
00:21:43see them standing on dry land, so much has the Danube fallen
00:21:47that they didn't manage to move them, I mean they can't move them, they would have to enter the river,
00:21:50what is a new place for people to sunbathe, for some it's a new
00:21:54habitat, I see now here many birds have
00:21:58settled, at least temporarily, so,
00:22:01how does this situation actually affect both animal and plant
00:22:04life, well it affects animal life
00:22:08in such a way that now cormorants and gulls have more to
00:22:12feed on, especially these gulls, because they are
00:22:15scavengers, right, so they eat shells and everything else, here you can really
00:22:18see all kinds. From grey herons, cormorants,
00:22:22ducks, as for the fish stock, it is significantly
00:22:25endangered, because the fish stock did not spawn this year due to the water level
00:22:29itself, and the consequences do not end on the shore, due to
00:22:32shallows, barges that transport fuel and export
00:22:35grain via the Danube, sail with significantly smaller cargo or cannot
00:22:39sail at all, so part of the transport
00:22:42trains. Ina Džakula, N1, Novi

00:22:49Traffic jams, delays of buses and trams and
00:22:53the increasing need of citizens for fast and reliable transport are daily
00:22:57challenges in BiH cities, how efficient is public transport in Sarajevo
00:23:01today, what do passengers say, and what do the authorities,
00:23:04are there plans for improvement?
00:23:08Every day thousands of citizens of Sarajevo use public
00:23:11transport to get to work, school or
00:23:15university, and while some believe that the service is much
00:23:19better than before, others expect more lines,
00:23:23less crowds, more buses,
00:23:25more buses, less crowds,
00:23:29do you use public transport, always,
00:23:33are you satisfied with the services, yes, what would you change, well
00:23:36not much, as for me, I am satisfied,
00:23:40because I don't use it much, it's more for these
00:23:43workers, for students, it's not just crowds, this,
00:23:47but also irregular buses.
00:23:50buses, you know that if you miss one line, then
00:23:53for one bus, for an hour there is no other, so I know I wait
00:23:57for an hour at the station. In the past
00:24:00period, the public transport fleet has been renewed,
00:24:0325 new trams and 35
00:24:07trolleybuses have been purchased, while work on the tram line
00:24:11from Ilidža to Hrasnica is in the final stages. In these six years
00:24:14we have changed, reconstructed the existing
00:24:17tram line from Marin Dvor to Ilidža. completely for the first time in
00:24:2160 years today trams run on that line,
00:24:25we brought the trolleybus back to Vogošća. The development
00:24:28of public transport is not important only for more comfortable
00:24:31travel. Experts point out that a quality system
00:24:34reduces traffic jams, the number of cars on
00:24:38roads contributes to cleaner air. So
00:24:41as far as the development of public transport itself is concerned. It is the pillar
00:24:45of urban mobility of every city, meaning the lifeline of
00:24:48public transport functioning, why? Because
00:24:51if we have development
00:24:55of public transport and we have fewer vehicles on the roads,
00:24:58people see this as an excellent alternative in terms of
00:25:02daily commutes, going to work, going to school and so
00:25:06on. We are in the final stages of completing a project called adaptive
00:25:09traffic management, that is a completely different traffic light management than we had
00:25:13until now, mm we work with algorithms that
00:25:17count the number of vehicles on the roads, according to the number of vehicles. They are released
00:25:20the so-called green wave or, let's say, effectively,
00:25:24a green light. The modernization of public transport does not end
00:25:28with the acquisition of new vehicles. Equally important remains
00:25:31reliability, availability, frequency of lines, because
00:25:35it is precisely on them that it depends whether citizens will choose public transport
00:25:38as their first
00:25:39choice.
00:25:43Newly graduated masters in the educational system
00:25:46encounter closed doors when it comes to
00:25:48employment. Despite being trained for new
00:25:52reforms in education, without experience there is no job. This
00:25:56is one of the reasons for the decline in interest of young people in teaching
00:26:00professions.
00:26:02are young people excluded from the job race, confirms Larisa Kadić for N1
00:26:06with her personal example. She is just one of many teachers who
00:26:10express dissatisfaction with employment in the educational
00:26:13system. However, I think that somehow the system
00:26:17has let us down a bit in a way, because when
00:26:20you are a person who has just finished university and applied for
00:26:24a competition, you don't have points
00:26:27to even be in
00:26:31any position on that list, so I
00:26:34noticed that colleagues who have a golden badge were also
00:26:38at the bottom of the list itself, so
00:26:41I believe that system is not really, not really in
00:26:45our favor. The only chance for employment remains to wait for
00:26:48someone to call them for a substitute, and in that way gain work experience
00:26:52that is scored. Young people usually give up these opportunities
00:26:56due to financial insecurity. Teachers who have just finished
00:27:00school, beginners in the last ten years. are
00:27:03certainly in a less favorable position in terms of not being able to gain
00:27:07enough points based on professional qualifications, based
00:27:10on, uh, work experience, their only
00:27:13option is precisely what I said in the case when they are deficit
00:27:17staff, then there is no problem, someone who is a graduated
00:27:20student, say of Latin, he should not have a problem finding a
00:27:24job, however where there is a large number of staff,
00:27:28the advantage absolutely goes to people who have work experience.
00:27:32at the University of Sarajevo, interest in teaching
00:27:35professions is declining, as the Vice-Rector, Professor Doctor
00:27:39Dženana Husremović, points out. Employment after
00:27:42completing studies, especially in
00:27:45public institutions, and the majority of our schools and kindergartens are public
00:27:48institutions, implies scoring
00:27:51implies some procedures that do not
00:27:55consider, that still, let's say, still do not sufficiently
00:27:58consider the fact that that first employment must be made easier. In
00:28:02fact. speaks in favor of us needing to dedicate ourselves even more to
00:28:05training, informing, opening up
00:28:08space especially for young people to show creativity
00:28:11and innovativeness. Young people trained for reforms in
00:28:14education often do not even get the opportunity to work in their
00:28:17profession. Employment regulations are not
00:28:19helpful either. This raises the question of whether the
00:28:23educational system is ready to accept changes and
00:28:26allow young people to truly implement reforms in education
