00:00:13and despite promises and
00:00:23Good day, dear viewers, after three weeks of break, Dan
00:00:26uživo returns to the programming schedule of N1 television, but at a slightly different
00:00:30summer time, from 5 PM to 6:30 PM.
00:00:34We continue to deal with topics that mark the political, social,
00:00:37and cultural scene of Bosnia and Herzegovina. And speaking of
00:00:40that, our country could face restrictions in
00:00:43electricity supply if prolonged
00:00:47dry periods continue, while an additional problem is the long-standing
00:00:50postponement of energy transition and insufficient investments in new
00:00:54production capacities, experts warn.
00:00:57Domestic politicians are not dealing with this problem because the pre-election campaign
00:01:01is starting soon, in which other
00:01:04topics dominate, and just two months before the elections, the Una-Sana Canton could
00:01:08get a new government. Allegedly, a new majority has been agreed upon, which includes
00:01:11SDA, Pomak, the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Democratic Front, while
00:01:15the SDP, People and Justice go into opposition,
00:01:30brown coal mine continues. Ten miners have not left the pit for the seventh day, and for
00:01:33today it has been announced that some more colleagues could join them.
00:01:37What are the reasons for the protest? Is there a possibility of an agreement, and
00:01:40what consequences could the escalation of dissatisfaction among miners have?
00:01:44We talk about that in today's
00:01:46show.
00:01:50About the current security situation, the incident in Bugojno during
00:01:54the visit of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, to this city, challenges in
00:01:58the work of police agencies, and numerous other topics that are in the public
00:02:02focus, we talk with Federal Minister of Internal Affairs, Ramo
00:02:06Isak.
00:02:10About the events in the Doboj area, attacks on journalists, political
00:02:13processes, the attitude of citizens towards institutions, strengthening democratic
00:02:17culture, expectations from the upcoming elections, we speak with the president
00:02:21with the ministry at the of the Restart Srpska organization, Stefan
00:02:22Blakić.
00:02:27Ticket sales for the 32nd Sarajevo Film
00:02:30Festival have also started at the box office. The audience is already preparing for the biggest
00:02:33regional film event, and we are checking what the interest is for
00:02:36this year's program, what content the festival brings, and what
00:02:40the organizers expect from the upcoming edition of
00:02:42SFF.
00:02:55fever, tonight at Bijela Tabija, one of the most important
00:02:59artists of the regional music scene, Amira Medunjanin, will hold a concert. About music, tour
00:03:03confirmations, new projects, the interpretation of Sevdah, we talk with
00:03:06Amira towards the end of today's
00:03:27news on n1info.ba.
00:03:30Featured information at this moment, that today the Presidency of Bosnia
00:03:34and Herzegovina met, and discussed the agrément for the new American
00:03:37Ambassador, Ronald Johnson, a poor start for BiH swimmers at
00:03:41the European Championship, second to last and 57th place at
00:03:44the opening. A citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina arrested at the Sitnica border crossing
00:03:48on an international warrant, also one of the featured
00:03:51news. Minister Lakić for N1 says, everything that was promised
00:03:55to the miners will be respected, our part of the job is done,
00:03:58160 million convertible marks secured for
00:04:02the transition. To the miners in the Raspotočje pit, as we said just now,
00:04:06three members of the Trade Union Board of the Zenica Brown
00:04:10Coal Mine joined. These are just some of the selected, selected
00:04:13headlines on our portal at this
00:04:15moment.
00:04:24So, nine miners of the Zenica Brown Coal Mine spent their sixth night
00:04:27in the Raspotočje pit, refusing
00:04:30to leave until they receive written guarantees with exact dates for the payment
00:04:34of their due salaries. In the meantime, the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and
00:04:37Herzegovina and the competent federal ministry announced that
00:04:41funds have been secured for the payment of outstanding salaries to employees in the
00:04:45mine. According to the ministry, following the expected
00:04:48operational activation of World Bank project funds,
00:04:51in the coming days, approximately 3 million convertible marks should be allocated
00:04:55to cover unpaid salaries for miners. However, without a precise
00:04:57date, the miners do not want to leave
00:05:01the pit, and representatives of the trade union board will join them.
00:05:05Tatjana Drdić brings information from the scene.
00:05:08place. For a week now, more precisely six
00:05:12nights, the miners of the Zenica Brown Coal Mine have been in the
00:05:15Raspotočje pit in protest due to unpaid
00:05:19salaries. We remind you that the miners are owed May
00:05:22and June salaries, and another one is due,
00:05:25guarantees from the authorities that they would be paid last
00:05:29month, it did not happen. The Government of the Federation of Bosnia and
00:05:33Herzegovina and the relevant ministry announced that
00:05:36funds have been secured for the payment of outstanding salaries to the workers of the
00:05:40Zenica Brown Coal Mine, with an
00:05:42appeal to the miners to leave the pit for safety reasons. However, the miners
00:05:46rejected this proposal, stating that they
00:05:49have been holding dialogues for two years and that the miners in the
00:05:52pit asked for only one sentence, which is the date when the
00:05:56salaries will be paid. Therefore, three members of the
00:05:59trade union board of the Zenica Brown Coal Mine joined the miners
00:06:03in the pit. "I and two others from the board will
00:06:07join those people, because it was said that we would get an answer from
00:06:11the minister by 3 PM. Then we will join
00:06:14and unconditionally support those people and stay with them until
00:06:17a solution is found for this agony. The government has secured
00:06:21a World Bank loan in the amount of 160 million KM-s.
00:06:25We expect the effectiveness of this loan soon in the coming days,
00:06:29so everything that was planned will be paid
00:06:32to the miners. They know that very well. We communicated
00:06:36during the past few days, of course, advising
00:06:39not to expose themselves to such dangers and a
00:06:43kind of strike that happens in methane areas, because
00:06:46that, in our opinion, is very, very dangerous. So, everything that
00:06:50was promised, that will be done. And it is very important
00:06:53that we save every single job, and the government will really try,
00:06:57especially when it comes to the mining sector, that it be as agreed.
00:07:00For a year now, every month they promise, every
00:07:04month later, you can check, meaning the salary was never
00:07:07on the 25th as it is regulated, it was always the 26th,
00:07:1127th, then the 5th, then the 10th, then a month later.
00:07:14The miners always had that patience, patience, and waited, "Oh,
00:07:18it will be," then stopped. We don't produce, maybe people will rather give to the comrades
00:07:22who maintain that energy system, but they have to think
00:07:26about us. And now this has overflowed the cup,
00:07:29which has overflowed the full cup, this, because we were at a meeting
00:07:33government of the federation above at the end of June, where we were firmly promised that
00:07:37the May salary would be paid by mid-July.
00:07:41At the end of July, the June salary will be paid,
00:07:44but here it is the 10th of August, and they still haven't given an exact date for when
00:07:48those salaries will be paid. The validation of health booklets has been temporarily
00:07:52enabled until September 6th, which is another
00:07:55problem because they don't know what will happen after that. We remind you that the
00:07:59Health Insurance Institute of the combined Doboj Canton demanded more than
00:08:021,075 million convertible marks from the three mines of the
00:08:06Elektroprivreda Bosnia and Herzegovina concern. The miners' problems
00:08:09are not from yesterday; they have been going on for a long time. However, as they themselves say, apart from
00:08:13their material existence, which is crucial,
00:08:16dignity is actually crucial, which is constantly
00:08:20violated by the competent representatives of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia
00:08:24and Herzegovina. Tatjana Drjić, N1
00:08:27Zenica.
00:08:29We continue with Dan uživo. After
00:08:38the incident that marked the visit of
00:08:41Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić to Bugojno, the public
00:08:45focused on issues of police agency coordination,
00:08:49adherence to security procedures, and the entry of MUP
00:08:52of Republika Srpska members into the territory of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:08:56and vice versa. Federal Minister of Internal Affairs, Ramo Isak, is with us.
00:08:59Good day and welcome. Good day to you,
00:09:02good day to your viewers. It has been more than seven
00:09:06days since this event, but this topic is still dominant
00:09:09in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian and regional public, considering
00:09:13everything that happened. You said that the members
00:09:17of the Central Bosnian Canton MUP did everything in accordance with
00:09:20the law. On the other hand, your colleague, the Minister of Internal Affairs
00:09:24of Republika Srpska, Željko Budimir, says that there was no
00:09:27intention to conduct illegal activities, that an oversight
00:09:31occurred. Do you believe that explanation, given
00:09:34everything that happened that day? Well, you see, if we take into
00:09:38account the situation that was happening and the situations that happened in
00:09:41the last 15 years in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that
00:09:45is, the Federation and Republika Srpska, we cannot believe
00:09:49that thesis put forward by the esteemed colleague,
00:09:52but if we take into account that on the same day or
00:09:56the day after, the director of the RS police contacted
00:10:00the director of my federal police administration and contacted
00:10:03the director, uh, the director of, pardon,
00:10:06the commissioner of the Central Bosnian Canton and stated
00:10:10the same thing, let's say, we can understand
00:10:14that, we can understand that as an attempt
00:10:17to justify the actions that were taken, but in fact,
00:10:21which might have had something else in mind. I really must congratulate the commissioner
00:10:26of the Central Bosnian Canton, that is, the police of the Central Bosnian Canton, and
00:10:30the director of the federal police administration. I was informed on the same day,
00:10:33I was involved on the same day. The actions
00:10:37they carried out, the police of the Central Bosnian
00:10:40Canton, we can congratulate them. They acted professionally,
00:10:43competently, and showed that there is coordination between
00:10:47police bodies when it comes to the federation, that means Canton
00:10:5010, the Central Bosnian Canton, and the federal
00:10:53police administration. And I think it might be good that
00:10:57something like this happened, so that those who have
00:11:01something completely different in mind see that the police in the federation
00:11:04are working professionally and competently. They showed
00:11:08great professionalism at this moment and quality, and
00:11:12you see, this was surely intended to cause something else, maybe an incident,
00:11:15maybe some some
00:11:18could actually have ended differently if they had reacted differently.
00:11:21You see, who would have been responsible for such a situation?
00:11:25Of course, those who came to the territory without
00:11:28consent, without proper notification,
00:11:31would have been responsible. Why, you see, the police of Republika
00:11:34Srpska could have simply informed the
00:11:37Federation that they have certain activities in Republika Srpska.
00:11:41We would have supported them and worked together; there would have been no problems.
00:11:45No, they tried to show some strength, some strictness,
00:11:48and in the end, they showed failures, lack of quality.
00:11:51They showed, ultimately, that
00:11:55Bosnia and Herzegovina has its own institutions,
00:11:58that the federal police in the federation are working competently
00:12:02in accordance with the law, that their goal is the safety
00:12:05of citizens, that their goal is a quality solution
00:12:09to problems, not to cause conflicts. At this moment, it
00:12:12would be most interesting, that means for politicians, because this is an election
00:12:16year, and so on, if the position
00:12:19of Minister of Internal Affairs of the Federation was held by someone who wants to
00:12:23engage in politicking, not to deal professionally with their duties,
00:12:26and had caused conflicts there, if they had arrested someone,
00:12:30perhaps probably someone
00:12:32else. Yes, many actually criticize the federal police,
00:12:36that is, the police of the Central Bosnian Canton, for not
00:12:39identifying all those people who were at that moment in that
00:12:43group. They did everything that was necessary; all individuals
00:12:46were identified, vehicles were identified, individuals were
00:12:49removed from the scene of the incident,
00:12:53uh... accompanied in accordance with
00:12:57the law, in accordance with procedures, meaning there are procedures for
00:13:00such matters. These were not ordinary citizens, this was not
00:13:04some activity that happened somewhere else; these are
00:13:07serious, these are serious matters. This was done well. We had
00:13:11a problem in Potočari, you know very well, and you know very
00:13:15well that it was determined, apart from some Bosniaks, that some
00:13:19Serbian services were involved in what happened, and they are just waiting
00:13:22to create such a situation so that something happens in the Federation, that is,
00:13:26Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their mistake is that every time they embark on such
00:13:29activities, these foreign parties are met by professionals who work in accordance
00:13:33with the law. You see, you remember Dodik well, who played and
00:13:37sang in the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina while those governments were in power. Those
00:13:41governments are now criticizing something. Well, if they were capable, why didn't they solve it?
00:13:45And you remember the moment when by order of the Prosecutor's Office
00:13:48of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Dodik had a warrant in the Federation,
00:13:51he did not move until he made a deal with
00:13:55the Prosecutor's Office to allow him to come to court. The Prosecutor's Office, he did not move.
00:13:59That means these people are working professionally. Here's this
00:14:02incident and many other incidents that perhaps citizens don't even know about, which happened in
00:14:06the territories of both the Federation and Republika Srpska. What is
00:14:09happening? We are doing our job professionally. I say the police are working
00:14:13professionally and competently, and I congratulate the police on that.
00:14:17In this way, we can only resist all these possible,
00:14:21especially now there will be even more of it because this is an election year.
00:14:25Someone wants to create a crisis, just like these people in Herzegovina are creating
00:14:28a crisis with these fans, so they also tried to create some
00:14:32crisis, where it would escalate, lead to some problems, lead to
00:14:36arrests, perhaps even the use of weapons and so on, then they would
00:14:39send a message, "Look, the Federation is unsafe," that is, Bosnia and
00:14:43Herzegovina. No, it has been shown that the Federation is safe, that things are done
00:14:47in the way prescribed, and the procedures
00:14:50that are necessary, meaning all individuals are identified, it is known who, what
00:14:54is... how each unit belongs to all these people and so
00:14:58on, but we shouldn't bother the public
00:15:01with that. The important thing is, the public knows, and I received a large number
00:15:05of messages from citizens, congratulating on the professionally done job.
00:15:09I mean, to be honest, I was involved in all of it, but I don't need
00:15:13to be congratulated. The commissioner of the Central Bosnian
00:15:16Canton and all the police officers who were involved in
00:15:20that action should be congratulated. You mentioned Milorad Dodik. In one interview, you
00:15:23said that you put Dodik in his place, considering
00:15:27that, despite the fact that Dodik is no longer the president of Republika
00:15:30Srpska, he still manages almost all
00:15:33political processes, you'll agree with me on that, not only in Republika
00:15:37Srpska, but it seems in Bosnia and Herzegovina through his
00:15:41representatives. Is Dodik eliminated from political
00:15:44life? You see, we must be honest, Dodik has really
00:15:47been eliminated from political life. These are the last
00:15:50throes where certain structures that currently
00:15:53sit on the political scene, who are naturally in
00:15:57those positions thanks to Mr. Dodik, they still have
00:16:01that kind of relationship with Dodik, and so does the HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
00:16:05The HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:16:09the HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a political
00:16:12option that looks out for its own interest. They are not interested in Dodik; Dodik
00:16:16was an ideal partner for them at the time when they poisoned the public with claims that
00:16:20Croats were endangered. Croats fared best in
00:16:23the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:16:27Bosniaks and Bosnian Muslims have suffered,
00:16:30however, Croats, if you draw the line, there are very few of them at this
00:16:33moment. "There are very few of them in the state of Bosnia and
00:16:37Herzegovina, there are very many of them in state, federal,
00:16:41and cantonal institutions, they represent
00:16:4440% in the Federation thanks to those policies
00:16:47that existed before, they represent over 40%, we can
00:16:51say 50% of the people who are not there, how many are currently
00:16:55in the Federation, some censuses say that is why they were allegedly not
00:16:58published, that there are not even 10% of them in the Federation, that
00:17:01is, Bosnia and Herzegovina, people manage all possible resources."
00:17:05"Someone enabled them to do that and spoke
00:17:07of endangerment. Currently, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the most
00:17:11endangered are Bosniaks, Bosnians, Muslims,
00:17:14people whose politics led them, and we were not endangered by either HDZ
00:17:18or Milorad Dodik, we were endangered by our
00:17:21Bosniak policy which continues, you see what it does, for the sole reason
00:17:24of holding onto positions. You see, two days ago,
00:17:28some portal published a political
00:17:31option that gives instructions to its members on what
00:17:35they will do."
00:17:37"They will spit on me. Now imagine what kind of policy it is that instructs its
00:17:41members to spit on me, my family, to build something for themselves.
00:17:44I will not spit on them; I will just tell them one
00:17:47thing: all those who held positions and performed
00:17:51duties while they were in power, all of them are at
00:17:55the prison gates. That means, but Bakir Izedbegović accuses
00:17:58the trio of surrendering very important ministries,
00:18:01institutions, and agreeing to political concessions to both
00:18:05HDZ and SNSD?" You see, if
00:18:08HDZ, if the trio married, they should be held accountable for that, all
00:18:11of us,
00:18:13of the Federation, all those who sit in positions should be
00:18:16held accountable for their part. If they did that, they should be
00:18:20held accountable. But if we, but if we take it mathematically, I'll answer
00:18:24you now, if we take mathematically the positions they held and the positions they
00:18:28hold now, that's not true. The SDA, that means, I'm speaking
00:18:31openly in your studio, the SDA gave everything to everyone just to stay
00:18:35in power, and to this day they would give up everything
00:18:37to return to power, but thank God they won't be in power
00:18:41because, you see, the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia
00:18:45and Herzegovina, recognized that policy they are leading. You cannot
00:18:48lead a policy of spitting, I never do that.
00:18:52A policy of spitting is not a good policy, a policy is about deeds. They brought
00:18:56the ministry I manage to the point of being shut down, they personally did. I didn't.
00:19:00That ministry is now the most effective, most stable, with
00:19:03the best salaries, with the best equipment, and it was on the verge of being shut down.
00:19:07The budget of this ministry, I don't know exactly, but what belongs to the
00:19:10ministry, not to other levels of government, was around
00:19:149 million. That same budget is now 29 million. What do I want
00:19:17to say, and so also the federal police administration and so on and so forth.
00:19:21Equipment, nothing. Wherever they were, whatever they did,
00:19:24they conceded. I was sitting in parliament when the
00:19:27question of appointing certain people arose, and
00:19:31these people from, "Please, come on, let us into power, we will immediately vote for it the same
00:19:34day." That means, you see, I sit there, I know those people... we know each other, we
00:19:38know each other. I've been sitting in parliaments, houses of peoples, and so on since 2006.
00:19:41I know how they thought then, and now they're calling people out. I was with them
00:19:45in government in 2018, 2022. Take everything they
00:19:48conceded to me when I was in power, take what I have now. That means everything they
00:19:52conceded to me, they are now calling out others for and blaming others for. No, they
00:19:56did that. And another thing, this policy they are pursuing now,
00:19:59this, you know, "spit, insult, and so
00:20:02on." Well, wait, we don't need to spit or insult, we just need to
00:20:06take what they did, and believe me,
00:20:10that party, after the death of the late President Alija Izetbegović, turned
00:20:14into a sort of lobby
00:20:17for personal interests; it's no longer a lobby for the state of Bosnia and
00:20:20Herzegovina, for the Bosniak people. No, they are, what Dodik is doing to the people
00:20:24in Republika Srpska, that is, to Serbs, and the damage he is causing to those
00:20:28people, these people have caused us even greater damage. So, you say, you were with one,
00:20:31now you're with the other in power,
00:20:35a different line. Who was more
00:20:38effective, let's say specifically in the field of economy?
00:20:42Izetbegović claims that the results of the trio are a humiliation for Bosniaks
00:20:46and an economic collapse. And
00:20:48you see, I see. I would be ashamed,
00:20:52I would be ashamed if I were a man who
00:20:56managed systems for 30 years and so on, brought this
00:20:59country to where it is now, and then I
00:21:02blame others. I cannot blame Izetbegović as I
00:21:06blame Izetbegović, but I blame all those who are around him and all those whom
00:21:10he appointed to positions. Do you want me to tell you the story of Novalić,
00:21:13how Novalić became prime minister, what he did
00:21:16privately, where he was, how he was physically removed from the position he was
00:21:20appointed to. Yes, yes, but what I want to tell you, and in the same way,
00:21:23I can tell you about every single SDA cadre. That means,
00:21:27those people looked out for their personal interests. You see if there are
00:21:31such people in these circles, I won't go into that. I can
00:21:34answer for myself. When I received information that a
00:21:38member of my political option who is part of our
00:21:41story is involved in some activities that are not in accordance with the law, I
00:21:45personally went to the federal police administration and reported that person,
00:21:49I personally, because I believed that a person who is committing illegal acts
00:21:52cannot be next to me. Mr. Izetbegović and the trio
00:21:56and all the others should have done that. No, I don't
00:21:59want to, I don't want to engage in politics, to cause
00:22:03harm, to work against my own people. It's like during
00:22:06the war, we turned our weapons and started shooting
00:22:10at each other, but it wasn't allowed, don't let's do that. You are already
00:22:13mentioning weapons. When there was talk of
00:22:17the arrest of Milorad Dodik, you asked the competent judicial
00:22:21institutions for a warrant for his
00:22:25arrest. Do you still believe today
00:22:27that this action would have been smart and realistically feasible,
00:22:31or would it have jeopardized, for example, the safety of
00:22:34police officers and citizens themselves? Well, you see, I must be
00:22:37honest, I worked in the service for about
00:22:4020 years, my job was to arrest people who had
00:22:44warrants for their arrest, criminals, and so on.
00:22:47You see, there were no high-ranking
00:22:50political officials, I agree, there were high-ranking ones, not that
00:22:54high-ranking, but there were. We arrested politicians back then who were also in high
00:22:58positions. What I want to say, uh, at that
00:23:01time when I took over that job, I was
00:23:04ready to sacrifice my life to do the job I do, because
00:23:08every police officer sacrifices their life every day. Yes, but you wouldn't have
00:23:12sacrificed only your own, or rather jeopardized, but perhaps
00:23:15someone else's. I agree, I agree with you. You see, it's
00:23:19about assessment. Based on assessments, we get information whether an action can
00:23:22succeed or not. We then made all the necessary assessments.
00:23:26We then had information that we could carry out that action.
00:23:30You see, would something have happened or not? It would be inappropriate for me to say
00:23:33that the action would have succeeded 100%, that no one would have been harmed on either
00:23:37side. That would be unprofessional, because there are
00:23:40unforeseen circumstances, and those unforeseen circumstances cannot be
00:23:43known until the moment it happens. We did,
00:23:46that is, the authorities did... "I,
00:23:50the authorities did all the assessments. They informed me that they are ready to carry
00:23:54out the action with minimal problems,
00:23:57as they say, that it would be a minimum of minimums.
00:24:01And then we, naturally, when we got all that information,
00:24:05asked relevant people to allow us
00:24:09to carry out that action, that action would have been carried out, it would have been successful,
00:24:12Milorad Dodik would have been 100% deprived of freedom, now what else would have
00:24:16happened, that's the problem, those are the unforeseen things, that..." which
00:24:20we could not influence, I think, I think from this perspective and
00:24:24I must be extremely honest, that if certain institutions had done
00:24:27their job well, then this way it was done is better
00:24:31than that way, that we then, but you see, we were
00:24:35then forced to offer, this, to do
00:24:38it because everyone was silent then and everyone at one
00:24:42point, we can be honest, worked against
00:24:46the interests of the state, no one should allow someone to threaten
00:24:49the state, Milorad Dodik at that moment threatened both the state,
00:24:52and the security of the state, the order and everything else that is
00:24:56in some way impermissible. We, who work in positions where we worked,
00:25:00had an obligation to, uh,
00:25:03to demand to do what we demanded and I'm glad that we
00:25:07were ready, because you see this, you must understand, prevention is
00:25:11the strongest weapon, we acted preventively in a way that
00:25:14he was not allowed to move around the territory of the federation, because he knew he would be
00:25:18deprived, that pressure which we exerted,
00:25:21joint coordination of both cantonal and federal
00:25:25police forces and so on, in a way forced
00:25:29Mr. Dodik, because at that moment he saw that it was no longer
00:25:32that thing, you know, playing the accordion, playing in the presidency, insulting
00:25:36the former president, his son on the other side with that
00:25:39strongest political option doing nothing, now some people
00:25:43have come who don't allow you to set foot on the territory of this
00:25:47federation, let alone play something and behave like a hooligan.
00:25:51We forced him to offer himself to both
00:25:54the intelligence agency OSA and the prosecutor's office, the court of Bosnia
00:25:58and Herzegovina, to come to court to do what he did.
00:26:02And you see, that means we have a way that we did it by action,
00:26:06okay, we have a way that we did it in this way it was
00:26:10done, to be honest, I must be honest, it was not
00:26:14just the federal police administration and the federal ministry involved, it was not
00:26:17just the cantonal police involved, our
00:26:21intelligence agency was also involved, to which I also thank on this occasion because
00:26:25it played the main role in all these actions. You commented
00:26:28just now on the pre-election campaign that hasn't officially started yet, but
00:26:32definitely. definitely, when things are viewed realistically, the raising
00:26:35of national tensions is well underway.
00:26:38Uh, how do you comment on this
00:26:41vandalism in Međugorje, that incident that happened,
00:26:45is that actually part of that story? Yes, that is
00:26:49precisely part of that story, yes, that is precisely part of that story, you saw my reaction,
00:26:54I reacted immediately, no matter who it was about, I reacted, although we
00:26:57immediately had the formation that, I mean, we had
00:27:01the information. Yes, in what way?
00:27:05Well, simply certain police forces immediately reached the
00:27:08perpetrator, or rather the possible perpetrator, they
00:27:12informed us, we only asked for everything to be sped up, I congratulate
00:27:15the police who worked on that
00:27:19case, because with quality police work, I'm glad that
00:27:22in some way, slowly the police are emerging from the jaws
00:27:25of those negative policies and when certain matters are
00:27:29concerned, they strive to do their job professionally. The police
00:27:33work, but the judiciary works, well, you see, look, I must
00:27:36be honest, I always tried not to be, no,
00:27:40we have people in the judiciary who do their job professionally and well
00:27:44and to whom we congratulate. Majority or minority, well the problem is that
00:27:48it's somewhere half and half, that's the biggest problem, if they were the majority, I would be
00:27:52satisfied, we wouldn't have a problem, the state functions when you have a majority
00:27:55that works, but I must be honest, it's not like that, we have a large
00:27:59number of people working in the judiciary. "And
00:28:02surely in the near future there will be subjects of certain
00:28:06investigations, that means follow me, there will surely be subjects of certain
00:28:10investigations because, you see, we need to stop
00:28:13dealing with political matters and we need to
00:28:16stop dealing with those unimportant things, we need to
00:28:20start working in the interest of our state, you see,
00:28:23if one person commits a certain criminal offense,
00:28:27if that criminal offense with preventive
00:28:29action, that is, in what way..." that
00:28:33the verdict should be maximal, that means not that they can go to the
00:28:36prosecutor, agree there when it's one year, probation, six
00:28:40months probation, the court confirms, well stop, you're sending
00:28:44a message to all other perpetrators of criminal offenses, come and we will
00:28:47agree on this, that's not the problem, it can't
00:28:50be like that, if the punishment is prescribed from one to three years,
00:28:54impose a three-year sentence, and believe me,
00:28:57when those perpetrators of criminal offenses see
00:29:01that maximum sentences are imposed, they will not be tempted to
00:29:04commit a new criminal offense again or
00:29:08to repeat it, and also people will not be tempted
00:29:11to do such acts, because they will say, wait a minute, we have to
00:29:15think, you see, institutions
00:29:18do their job, because when a country undergoes a transition, especially when you see
00:29:22it's sad that these transitions haven't been completed yet, it's been
00:29:2530 years since the war, these transitions are done immediately after the war,
00:29:29then the courts, look at that former country. Well,
00:29:32look before that, then the courts issue such
00:29:35rigorous uh verdicts that
00:29:39in a way they scare the perpetrators
00:29:42of those illegal acts, not to
00:29:45commit such an act, not with us, everyone is somehow agreeing with someone,
00:29:48I mean, it's ridiculous that you see
00:29:51arrests, well, these arrests should be forbidden in this way, here I answer
00:29:55that masks burst in, jump out,
00:29:58take them out there and what happens in the end, nothing.
00:30:02He says cases are still being dropped, he says they apologize there,
00:30:06uh, well, how do you send a message to the citizens,
00:30:09so do your assessments, do, in my time it
00:30:13was done that way, a spectacle was never made when it came to something
00:30:17small, for example now when the uh, this two-car accident happened
00:30:21in Eastern Sarajevo on the
00:30:24entity line, there was a noticeable presence of federal
00:30:28police armed with long barrels, what?
00:30:32What was, what was the goal of that action, to prevent
00:30:36the perpetrators from crossing into the other entity or, no, no, no,
00:30:39you see, that means, you see, there was a presence of both
00:30:43RS police and federal police, there was much more
00:30:46federal police presence than from Republika Srpska, well, you see, that means
00:30:50they do their job better then, if there was a greater presence, although I
00:30:54crossed this our
00:30:57administrative line and I saw...
