00:00:02A new day begins, friend of the show
00:00:04Medicana Health Group.
00:00:41clear and complete answers in one of the biggest environmental
00:00:45scandals in Croatia. Details of the chronology are still being revealed,
00:00:48stories about thousands of tons of hazardous waste
00:00:52that arrived for years and instead of processing and
00:00:55recycling ended up buried in Gospić,
00:00:58but also in Varaždin. and Benkovac,
00:01:02here, friends, they decided to move out of
00:01:06this city for that sole reason, because of that
00:01:09trash, we are not planning to move, this is our
00:01:12home, uh, we will wait to see how the
00:01:15reaction unfolds, meaning if illness, death
00:01:19comes soon, that's on us now,
00:01:22here
00:01:24this context clearly describes why
00:01:27the hysteria, why so much... energy
00:01:31going and how both agricultural in the middle of summer, the opposition and some other actors, trying to
00:01:34create some kind of fabricated emergency
00:01:38situation, now we told you that the drinking water is in
00:01:42accordance with the standards of the Croatian
00:01:44Institute of Public Health, people are scared and
00:01:48want a solution, solutions are scared because the opposition is creating
00:01:51hysteria for its political interests,
00:01:54I think we have all been betrayed here, in a way.
00:01:58if if that's not too strong a word, betrayed
00:02:02and left to fend for ourselves,
00:02:05simply those people who
00:02:08should explain to us, I don't know what,
00:02:11how what happened, stand first among us all
00:02:14that, they simply all, no one knows
00:02:18anything, so, like, I perceive it as them insulting
00:02:21my intelligence,
00:02:24we have no deviations, so all that water is completely safe
00:02:27for health.
00:02:30"One of the most important pieces of information now is the question of people's health and lives in that
00:02:33area. The state assures that the water is safe to drink, but
00:02:37N1 reveals that the drinking water was tested for so-called eternal
00:02:41chemicals a full five months ago, and only
00:02:44yesterday new samples were taken for testing. All
00:02:48the details of this affair are being followed today in numerous interviews,
00:02:52and we are still live in
00:03:11yesterday ended their eight-day protest and exited the Raspotočje pit,
00:03:15they were protesting due to unpaid salaries, they received the last one for
00:03:18April, and they are owed salaries for May and June, while the deadline for July's
00:03:22payment is August 25. The Federal Ministry of Energy, Industry and
00:03:25Mining announced that funds for salaries have been secured and will be.
00:03:30paid once the funds become operational. However, the miners
00:03:33demanded an exact payment date. One of the demands was the verification of health
00:03:37booklets, which the miners can temporarily verify again from Friday
00:03:39until September 6. During the protest, mandatory work, such as
00:03:43water drainage and degasification, was carried out in the mine.
00:03:47degasification.
00:03:49From the level of the management board, this morning we
00:03:53reacted with a reaction, we called upon
00:03:56our colleagues, workers from
00:03:59the Zenica mine, to transform from the role
00:04:02of martyrs into the role
00:04:05of commanders. We know very well why we said that,
00:04:09we have space to make such a step
00:04:13and through the response
00:04:16of the Federal Ministry of Energy,
00:04:19Mining and Industry, which was delivered to the trade union
00:04:22organization yesterday during the day,
00:04:26and whether it will be done today during
00:04:29the day. the workers themselves from the
00:04:31Zenica brown coal mine in Zenica will
00:04:35tell us, based on this morning's visit by the director,
00:04:38and primarily, primarily, I say, because of the health condition
00:04:41of these comrades, it's no small thing to spend seven days in
00:04:45the pit, we simply decided at this moment on the only
00:04:48rational solution, that is, at this moment we are leaving the pit
00:04:52facility, purely, I say, preventively due to health reasons, and I say, and
00:04:55the situation on the ground which indicates that the
00:04:58realization of this payment is in rapid progress
00:05:02and we expect it very
00:05:04soon, but I want to immediately state that the Zenica miners
00:05:08will not wait long for the realization
00:05:11of these promises. I couldn't allow this situation
00:05:15for these six or seven days anymore,
00:05:18there were situations where people fainted, what do I know,
00:05:21mostly simply for primary reasons we decided
00:05:25to simply abandon the pit facility.
00:05:28The fire in the Konjic area has once again escaped control and spread
00:05:32towards Džepska Planina. The latest information is that the fire is threatening
00:05:35houses and that international aid is needed and being
00:05:38sought. Due to the inaccessible terrain and the fire that has engulfed the Borova
00:05:42forest, the possibilities for firefighters to act from the ground
00:05:46are very limited. Strong winds and inaccessible terrain further
00:05:49complicate extinguishing. Air tractors were active at
00:05:52the fire site, but due to fires in other areas, they could not
00:05:56continue the intervention. The situation
00:05:58in the municipality of Neum is difficult, the fire has engulfed
00:06:02a large fire line, but firefighters emphasize that they managed
00:06:05to bring it under control. All available forces are on the ground,
00:06:09currently the fire is not threatening the settlement of Međugorje, which is a few
00:06:13kilometers away from the fire site, and locals have been
00:06:16following the situation for days and helping to extinguish
00:06:19the fire. We will talk in the new day about how drought
00:06:23and heatwaves affect agriculture, we will talk about
00:06:27the Sarajevo Film Festival,
00:06:44the fire at Stolovi near Kraljevo is not abating, but in
00:06:48Deliblatska Peščara the number of hotspots has decreased. Areas
00:06:51affected by fires are ever larger, in addition to the aforementioned
00:06:55hotspots, there were fires in the areas of Sremska Mitrovica,
00:06:58Kraljevo, Leskovac, Prijepolje, Prokuplje, but also Belgrade,
00:07:02Šabac, Pančevo, Bor and Zaječar.
00:07:05We will monitor the situation, not only this morning, but as before, throughout
00:07:09the entire day. Other topics we will... deal with
00:07:13come from Kosovo, the news that yesterday during the day in the village of Dren
00:07:16in the municipality of Zubin Potok Nenad Rašković was beaten,
00:07:20arrived last night from the Serbian List. We warn that
00:07:23the images you will see are sensitive. Rašković
00:07:27later in the evening in front of cameras and from his hospital
00:07:31bed himself testified that members of the Kosovo
00:07:34police beat him first in his home, later drove him
00:07:37to a nearby forest, tied him to a tree and then brutally
00:07:41beat him there. for water, inflicting
00:07:44multiple bodily injuries, he states that during
00:07:47the abuse they demanded that he surrender weapons he does not have and
00:07:51demanded that he confess to committing war crimes during the
00:07:54war against Albanians.
00:07:57To live from springs, and they told my wife, they told my
00:08:00wife, Base for
00:08:02terrains.
00:08:08Come to me, hold,
00:08:11listen to me, listen to me.
00:08:24he threatened again that he would come
00:08:24tomorrow,
00:08:29don't cry like that,
00:08:30little girl,
00:08:34in N1, the Kosovo police say they have no information about these
00:08:38allegations, they say that the Kosovo Police Inspectorate will be informed
00:08:41about everything. We will also follow
00:08:44this case, in the morning topic we analyze the situation in relations between
00:08:48Belgrade and Pristina after the diplomatic storm that
00:08:51was caused by the announcement of the Serbian president that he would divert
00:08:55the course of the Ibar River. Although at first hearing it seemed like
00:08:58a message for internal political use, the story
00:09:02about Ibar water quickly became much more. What is real, and what
00:09:06is in the realm of imagination, and how do such messages actually
00:09:09affect people in Kosovo. The guest
00:09:13of this day will be an analyst in the field of environmental resources,
00:09:17Ljubiša Mijačić from Zubin Potok and journalist Eni
00:09:201 Sanja Sovrlić. In the press review, unfortunately,
00:09:24there are not many brighter topics, especially after the videos that Cins
00:09:28published yesterday, showing an attack on the director and professor
00:09:31at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, Stevan Filipović, last
00:09:35week in the center of Belgrade. The video shows
00:09:38how an unknown man snatches Filipović's phone.
00:09:42"and after his attempt to get the phone back, a group
00:09:45of men pushed him into the street and started beating him
00:09:49in front of witnesses. The camera also recorded the moment
00:09:52when one of the men, among other things, took
00:09:56a chair and then threw it at Filipović who was
00:10:00lying on the ground, you can see part of that video
00:10:04now, Filipović gave a statement to the police, but no one informed
00:10:07him about the videos, so after
00:10:10the appearance of this video we again asked the police what they had done
00:10:14to identify and prosecute the perpetrators, but we have not yet
00:10:18received
00:10:18an answer,
00:10:23that will be one of the topics for our guest, journalist of Nedeljnik
00:10:27Radar Sandra Petrušić, with whom we will browse
00:10:30the front pages of daily newspapers. Now,
00:10:33today, at least in the sky, a beautiful show awaits us, by the end
00:10:36of the show you will learn more about the phenomena of solar eclipses,
00:10:40planetary alignment, and we will also hear advice on where
00:10:43it is best to observe the sky tonight, as a spectacular
00:10:47meteor shower
00:11:23We are still in a heatwave. Temperatures go up to
00:11:2540°C. Is any refreshment expected soon, rainfall
00:11:29that would break the prolonged drought? We will check immediately in
00:11:33the weather center, N1 studio in Zagreb, with us is meteorologist Tea
00:11:36Blažević. Tea, good morning, good morning. What awaits us? Well, we will still be
00:11:40in a heatwave, that's what awaits us, but I can say that in the coming
00:11:43days it will be gradually less
00:11:46hot. Currently, it's mostly sunny across Croatia, quite similar
00:11:50in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian area. Only in some parts of inland
00:11:53Croatia do I have... Locally stronger cloud development. This morning there was some
00:11:57light precipitation, also in the north of Bosnia it's a bit
00:12:00cloudier, but we can say that as for the rest of this Wednesday, it
00:12:04will mostly remain dry. We are still under the influence
00:12:08of an anticyclone. It should certainly be noted that it is a bit windier
00:12:12at sea this morning, that the bora is locally stronger. The Croatian Automobile Club even
00:12:15reports locally traffic restrictions in
00:12:19the coastal area, locally under Velebit, namely there are also
00:12:22stormy gusts of bora for that reason. So,
00:12:25traffic is in some places restricted. In the continuation
00:12:29of the day it will also be windy, but we still
00:12:32expect that the bora will gradually
00:12:35weaken at least a little, although I can say that Thursday
00:12:39and even Friday when it comes to the sea will be marked by
00:12:43stronger bora, locally even stormy gusts,
00:12:46especially under Velebit. Mostly as far as the continuation of this
00:12:50Wednesday is concerned, so a bit windier
00:12:53at sea as well. with moderate bora in the Herzegovina
00:12:56area. And it should be noted, since I'm mentioning the sea part, in Dalmatia
00:13:00in the afternoon there may be local showers, this applies especially
00:13:04to the Dalmatian hinterland, but in the Herzegovina area
00:13:08there may also be transient instabilities, as well as in the west,
00:13:11southwest of Bosnia, in the central eastern parts of Bosnia,
00:13:15where it may also thunder, and the wind may suddenly
00:13:18pick up. All this, of course, affects temperatures. We
00:13:22expect today's values to be high. We see that as
00:13:26far as Croatia is concerned, especially along the Adriatic up to 40, inland
00:13:29up to 33. As for the Bosnian-Herzegovinian
00:13:33area, likewise, hottest in the Herzegovina area,
00:13:37specifically in the wider Mostar area, where we expect values
00:13:41up to 40 today, in Bosnia it will be from 30 to
00:13:4435. Given the high
00:13:47temperatures and the continuation of stable
00:13:51weather, we can say that the conditions will be favorable,
00:13:54at least, for the peak of the summer
00:13:58meteor shower, better known as the Tears of St. Lawrence,
00:14:01to be observed today. They occur when the Earth, in its motion, passes
00:14:04through a cloud of tiny dusty particles and icy
00:14:08fragments left behind by Comet Swift-Tuttle. When these particles enter
00:14:12our atmosphere at high speed, they heat up due to friction, glow, and
00:14:16create the spectacle of shooting stars that we can see in
00:14:19the photograph behind me. So, all of you who have
00:14:22the opportunity tonight, take advantage of it. The peak
00:14:25of the meteor shower, cast your gaze upon the night sky.
00:15:1210 o'clock it will be necessary
00:15:15to close windows and balconies in those
00:15:18sunny parts
00:15:28heard in our weather forecast, there will be benefits, so from the evening
00:15:32as well, or rather, we will have the opportunity to have a spectacle in the sky, enjoy
00:15:36that.
00:15:51a new heatwave in recent days. How much damage are farmers already
00:15:54suffering? We discuss this with Nedžad Bićo, president of the
00:15:58Association of Farmers of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and
00:16:01Mišo Mančić, president of the Assembly of the Association of Farmers of the Republic
00:16:05of Srpska.
00:16:08Members of the association "Give Us a Chance", children and people with developmental disabilities and
00:16:12their families, on August 14th will once again be part of the festival
00:16:16glamour, thanks to an initiative that the association is implementing
00:16:19in cooperation with the Tourist Board of Sarajevo Canton. We talk
00:16:23with Haris Pazlogić, president of the Tourist Board of Sarajevo Canton
00:16:26and Ines Kavalec, director of the association "Give Us
00:16:29a Chance".
00:16:33Plastic and aesthetic surgery today is much more than a question of appearance, it
00:16:37implies an individual approach, careful planning, but
00:16:40also reconstructive procedures that can significantly improve the quality
00:16:43of life for patients after injuries, illnesses or congenital deformities.
00:16:47We discuss contemporary trends with Dr.
00:16:50Zumreta Rizvanović, a specialist in aesthetic, plastic
00:16:54and reconstructive
00:17:55And for travel, early morning hours are recommended, so let's check
00:17:58the situation on the roads and border
00:18:11city roads, as well as on approaches to
00:18:14city centers. On the main road Zenica
00:18:18Nemila, near the place Jelina, due to a breakdown
00:18:21of an oversized freight vehicle, traffic is
00:18:24slowed down to one lane. The holiday season
00:18:27and ongoing roadworks are slowing down traffic on
00:18:31numerous sections, so drivers should plan
00:18:34their journeys accordingly with possible
00:18:38delays. Due to high daily temperatures, we recommend avoiding
00:18:42long-distance drives during the day. If you
00:18:46must travel, we advise more frequent
00:18:49breaks, drive carefully and respect all traffic
00:18:52regulations. There are long queues of passenger vehicles at
00:18:56the exit from Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the border
00:18:59crossings Velika Kladuša, Izačić and Hum,
00:19:03at other border crossings passenger vehicles currently do
00:19:06not wait longer than 30 minutes. Due to
00:19:10ongoing works, the section of the A1 highway
00:19:13Golubinja Nemila is closed, and vehicle
00:19:17traffic is diverted to the main road M17.
00:19:20On the main roads Dobropolje, Miljevina, Tuzla,
00:19:23Bijeljina and Jablanica Blidinje, traffic is still
00:19:26permitted only for vehicles up to 3.5
00:19:29tons. We appeal to everyone who plans longer journeys
00:19:33to inform themselves in advance about the current situation on the roads
00:19:37and waiting times at border crossings. They can
00:19:40do this via our website bihamk.ba or
00:19:43call us on the phone
00:20:16Bosnia and Herzegovina has been hit by a new heatwave in recent days. How much
00:20:19damage are farmers already suffering? Will
00:20:22this year's yields be lower and what consequences can we expect when it
00:20:26comes to food prices? How are producers coping with rising
00:20:30costs, unfair competition, and problems that
00:20:33have burdened this sector for years? I discuss this in
00:20:36the continuation with Nedžad. President of the Association of Farmers
00:20:39of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Mišo Aljčić, President
00:20:43of the Assembly of the Association of Farmers
00:20:57of a new heatwave, how much have these extremely high temperatures already
00:21:00threatened this year's,
00:21:03this year's yields?
00:21:06Well, you see, the damages are already evident and according to predictions
00:21:10this won't pass so quickly so it will be a
00:21:14disaster at the end of the season,
00:21:17meaning the lack of moisture is already strongly felt. moisture,
00:21:21plants are struggling, it's felt in
00:21:24livestock farming, livestock are experiencing heat
00:21:27strokes, milk production and everything else is reduced,
00:21:31so the situation is,
00:21:34I can freely say, almost
00:21:38critical, almost critical, Mr. Mančić, how do you
00:21:42assess the current situation, are you afraid that the damages could be greater
00:21:46than in previous years?
00:21:49Well, I... "I greet and agree with my colleague
00:21:52Bićo, he presented the situation very well,
00:21:56uh, similarly in the Republic of Srpska, meaning
00:21:59there is uh, very
00:22:02significant soil drying,
00:22:05consequently, corn as one of
00:22:08the most prevalent arable crops, from
00:22:12which the most is expected in livestock farming, along with
00:22:15soy, is in an extremely difficult situation, it has
00:22:19already..." reached a situation where
00:22:22its biological growth has stopped
00:22:25and simply the corn
00:22:28is dried up, there are small parts that managed during this
00:22:32summer period to get some
00:22:35moisture from these occasional small passing
00:22:38clouds in the area, I don't
00:22:41know, Dubica, towards Prijedor, so
00:22:45there are regions where it has survived,
00:22:48however, 90%... has become completely dried out and
00:22:52I think the days of corn vegetation are
00:22:56over, this will of course have a significant impact
00:22:59on livestock farming, because in addition
00:23:02to such a difficult situation in livestock farming due to imports,
00:23:06inexplicably very low prices offered
00:23:09in our meat markets,
00:23:13it's simply not clear to us how
00:23:16that meat arrived at such strongly low.
00:23:20low prices, where our farmers and
00:23:23breeders simply cannot be competitive at all,
00:23:26they have problems with sales, we have
00:23:29surpluses, people simply don't know what
00:23:32to do and how to secure their
00:23:35livelihood, we believe that this drought
00:23:38and such a large import of meat and meat
00:23:42products into BiH will simply endanger
00:23:46this domestic population completely in BiH, that we will...
00:23:50lose an even larger percentage
00:23:53of breeders, consequently we will reduce the volume
00:23:57of agricultural production,
00:23:59we will have to monitor what is happening in the European Union, if
00:24:03production in the European Union decreases as planned, today
00:24:06meat will become a luxury very quickly then
00:24:10our population will then find itself in a very difficult
00:24:13situation. Who is thinking about that, well
00:24:17were you expecting some steps, some measures to be taken, so
00:24:20there are problems, this morning we focused on drought and the
00:24:24heatwave, but there are problems that are constant
00:24:28for years now and that no one is solving,
00:24:31Mr. Vićo, well you see, the problems
00:24:34are, at least as far as I know, the last 15 or
00:24:3720 years, where we are fighting, well, together now with
00:24:41colleague Mišo, with everyone, to protect it, to do something,
00:24:45but we live in a system. that is very
00:24:49complicated and where practically
00:24:52agriculture interests no one from
00:24:55from from from municipalities to to the
00:24:59very top of the state and even down
00:25:02to the district, meaning here the
00:25:05situation is very very complicated, politicians
00:25:08abundantly use it, everyone
00:25:11pulls in their own direction, in the end production
00:25:15fails, production fails, as we heard from Mr.
00:25:18Mančić, if the volume of production decreases,
00:25:22price increases are expected, how realistic is it that this will happen,
00:25:25you say meat could become a luxury, what would
00:25:29that actually mean, what kind of prices can you
00:25:32somewhere, uh, we can all, in fact, in Bosnia and
00:25:35Herzegovina, expect if that
00:25:38happens?
00:25:41Well, you know, everything starts in our surroundings,
00:25:44the European Union. The European Union is largely
00:25:48striving to protect... its environment by reducing
00:25:52pollution, thus we now also have burdens on
00:25:55decarbonization, what does that actually mean? It means that
00:25:59the European Union is striving to produces as much.
00:26:02products as needed for their needs (100 to
00:26:05103%)
00:26:08as soon as they achieve those plans, there will be no
00:26:12more surplus for third countries, including Bosnia and
00:26:15Herzegovina, which means that in that case, we will
00:26:19have to buy at market prices, which will
00:26:22of course be two times
00:26:25higher for BiH than they are now,
00:26:29at a minimum. Consequently, we have reduced
00:26:32production in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
00:26:35We are becoming dependent on imports of meat, meat
00:26:38products from our region. From
00:26:41this, you can yourself deduce what awaits us. For example,
00:26:45one Denmark, for example, in pig farming,
00:26:49since I am the president of the pig breeders' association, is reducing by about
00:26:53170,000 sows or
00:26:576 million piglets annually.
00:26:59You can imagine.
00:27:02So Denmark is already the second country after
00:27:06the Netherlands. As soon as Germany and France do that, they have
00:27:09reduced production to enough for
00:27:13their own needs and there is no more surplus.
00:27:16This means meat prices will go up two to three times.
00:27:19It will be two to three times
00:27:22more expensive. These are really catastrophic
00:27:25forecasts. However, here
00:27:28when we hear everything and when we see where the world is ultimately
00:27:34and livestock production are decreasing, somehow at a global
00:27:37level, is there a logical explanation for why this
00:27:41is happening? What will people eat? Who benefits at all
00:27:44from such a situation? Well, there is no logical explanation,
00:27:48but for our politicians, the people who lead this
00:27:52country, it exists, because they relied, as Miša
00:27:55said, on this import. But that
00:27:59will slowly disappear. And what kind of import is it? What kind of meat
00:28:03do we eat? What kind of imported fruits and vegetables? How sure
00:28:06can we even be about the quality of food that comes to us
00:28:09from other countries? You can start with yourself: would you
00:28:13sell a car that serves you well, that is
00:28:17good, that is of good quality, or anything else? Well,
00:28:21it's the same with the goods that come here. Mišo
00:28:24said that we are those third world countries.
00:28:28What is good remains. The extra class and quality remain
00:28:32in the country that produced it. All the surplus, that's the
00:28:36junk, is placed in third
00:28:38countries. It comes here. And it came at
00:28:42some very low dumping prices
00:28:45until they stifled domestic production. When domestic
00:28:49production was stifled, now they dictate everything, and they even sell us that garbage at
00:28:53high prices. Meat God knows how old, God knows
00:28:56where it comes from and everything else, because we here do not
00:29:00produce even 20% of what the citizens of Bosnia and
00:29:04Herzegovina need. Everything else is imported. We have even completely stifled some
00:29:08production. So, here you have it.
00:29:11Yes, we all know, Mr. Malčić, how valuable
00:29:15those bags are that our relatives from the village send us, which contain
00:29:18homemade groceries. We all know how we devise different
00:29:22ways to find people who
00:29:26grow, who can sell us
00:29:29homemade meat, homemade eggs,
00:29:32fruits and vegetables, and
00:29:36how all of that is harder to find and more expensive today. However,
00:29:40how much harder will it be in the near future?
00:29:43How much more demotivated are people in the countryside
00:29:47to engage in farming
00:29:49and how much harder it all is and more
00:29:53expensive?
00:29:55This is sad, as my colleague Bićo also says,
00:29:59that many of our politicians do not see the essence of the problem,
00:30:02and that is that we now have
00:30:05in the countryside, as growers and
00:30:07producers of agricultural products, mostly, mostly
00:30:11people over 60 and more years old who remained in
00:30:15the countryside, while simply young people do not
00:30:19see the profitability
00:30:23in agricultural production. This means they do not see that they can
00:30:26survive and live decently. This is not about
00:30:30luxury but about living off their work.
00:30:34It's sad to work 365 days and
00:30:37when it comes to drawing the line, you see that you are at
00:30:40a loss, not that you haven't earned anything, but that you are at
00:30:43a loss, and simply, it's
00:30:46a huge demoralization demoralization of our
00:30:49youth who
00:30:52simply leave their homes and households and do not want to
00:30:56engage in agriculture. That is Bosnia's biggest problem.
