00:00:21Good afternoon, you are watching N1 info, event
00:00:23of the day,
00:00:27due to active fires in the area of Konjic. A state of natural
00:00:31disaster has been declared, firefighters are at the end of their strength, international
00:00:35assistance has been requested.
00:00:38Alarming situation in the region, on Brač, a large fire, dozens of
00:00:41firefighters on the ground, also burning in Serbia and Montenegro,
00:00:45Montenegro,
00:00:48the death toll in the strong earthquake in Colombia rose to
00:00:51265, 496 people are listed as
00:01:11disaster due to large forest fires that have been burning for the eighth day in the area of
00:01:15Kanjina, Živašnica, Brđani, Džep and Džepska Planina. The fires are still
00:01:18not under control, and they tend to spread, which is further favored by
00:01:22high temperatures and wind. The terrain is mostly inaccessible for
00:01:26extinguishing from land, which is why preventing further spread of the fire
00:01:29is significantly hindered. Since early morning, members of the armed
00:01:32forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina have continued to fight
00:01:35fires, although air support plays a crucial role, the fight against
00:01:39fires is continuously being waged on the ground as well. The city of Konjic
00:01:42has included all available resources and capacities in extinguishing the fires. On the ground are
00:01:46the entire staff, professional fire brigades, horsemen, and stationed
00:01:50hunters. The situation on the ground is further complicated by the extremely steep
00:01:53and inaccessible terrain, characteristic of
00:01:56the Konjic area, which prevents access for heavy fire engines.
00:02:00In the Neum area, a fire is still active on inaccessible terrain
00:02:04above the villages of Glumina and Lastva, where grass and low vegetation are burning. In the municipality of
00:02:08Čitluk, two fires are active, fires have been
00:02:11reported in the areas of Jablanica, Mostar and
00:02:14Stolac.
00:02:17The current situation at the fire site, meaning the fire is still active,
00:02:20mm, we have,
00:02:23that is,
00:02:25the fire is spreading, there are high temperatures on the ground, which favor
00:02:29the spread. Strong wind, mm, our focus today is to prioritize
00:02:33trying to prevent the fire from spreading in the direction from
00:02:36Džepska Planina towards the village of Brđani which is spreading, this
00:02:40attempt is to try to localize that
00:02:44direction, and this morning there was an operation of helicopter forces of Bosnia and
00:02:47Herzegovina, it operated from 7:10
00:02:51AM until 9:20
00:02:54AM, it made five
00:02:55flights.
00:02:59A large open-air fire also broke out during the night on the island of Brač in the
00:03:02Puščića area, firefighters have been intensely fighting
00:03:06the fire since early morning. As many as 106
00:03:09firefighters with 31
00:03:12fire engines are participating in the extinguishing, and four Canadairs provide additional
00:03:16support. The fire has not yet been brought under control and has affected a large area.
00:03:20The fire line is located above houses that are currently not directly
00:03:24threatened. However, during the night the situation was serious and
00:03:27firefighters managed to defend residential
00:03:30buildings. Due to the fire, it was necessary to disconnect part of the power
00:03:33grid in order to enable a safer intervention on
00:03:37the ground. Additional forces were sent to Brač by ferry from
00:03:40Split. Firefighters from Split, Trogir,
00:03:43Slatina, Makarska and Imotski are arriving on the island and will join the
00:03:47teams on the ground. The scale of the fire and scenes from this area show
00:03:51how serious the situation is, while firefighters continue to fight the fire and
00:03:55strive to prevent its further
00:03:57spread.
00:04:00In Serbia, there are currently 33 open-air fires, the most challenging of which are fires
00:04:04in Deliblatska Peščara, on
00:04:08Mount Stolovi in the village of Breznica in the municipality of Bujanovac.
00:04:11The Stolovi area was visited by the Minister of Internal Affairs of Serbia, Ivica
00:04:15Dačić. In a helicopter, he toured the area affected by this
00:04:19fire and announced the possibility of engaging an additional
00:04:21helicopter for extinguishing.
00:04:25Tomorrow we will see uh, now we will
00:04:28talk to... our capacities, we have four
00:04:32helicopters that are functioning, the army also
00:04:35helps us to somehow uh to
00:04:39somehow transfer one part of the capacities here
00:04:42uh maybe one more
00:04:46helicopter in order to extinguish this fire
00:04:50here.
00:04:52In Deliblatska Peščara, about 700 hectares of forest burned down. The fire
00:04:56is still not completely localized, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs says the fire is under control.
00:05:00Above part of the sandy area, thick black smoke is still visible, and the police
00:05:04did not allow journalists to approach the village of
00:05:07Šumarak.
00:05:12Small, those fires literally fire, flames shoot up from
00:05:15the ground, because it's about
00:05:19roots, the locals explain to me, they have to
00:05:22dig, I don't know, almost
00:05:25a meter deep to reach moist,
00:05:29or cold sand, then they fix it there,
00:05:33pour water, like this, if they clean it superficially by 20, 30
00:05:37cm, that means nothing, because here, for example,
00:05:40you can even cook an egg in the sand, even
00:05:44when it's not like uh high
00:05:48temperature.
00:05:51In Montenegro, fires are currently active in the areas of
00:05:54Nikšić, Bar, Herceg Novi and Kolašin. In Bar, the fire
00:05:58is active on Lisinj mountain, in the Herceg Novi area, all
00:06:01available vehicles and personnel are on the ground, the fire was close to houses and several
00:06:05were preventively evacuated.
00:06:09Last night we had a very turbulent night, because
00:06:13dozens of houses were threatened, fortunately, not a single house
00:06:17was damaged, nor was it affected by the fire, fortunately
00:06:20not a single member of the protection and
00:06:23rescue service was injured, nor any local residents, tourists
00:06:27or police, because last night there were members of various institutions on
00:06:30the ground, and the municipality made sure that all
00:06:34those citizens who were evacuated during the night were taken care of and
00:06:38provided with all necessary
00:06:40assistance.
00:06:46The director of the Srebrenica Memorial Center, Emir Suljagić, filed
00:06:49a criminal complaint with the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina against the Minister of Finance and
00:06:52Treasury of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Srđan Midžić, due to the existence of grounds
00:06:56for suspicion that he committed the criminal offense of non-execution of decisions of the High
00:06:59Representative. The complaint states that Minister Amidžić, as a responsible
00:07:03state official and member of the Council of Ministers, knowingly and continuously
00:07:06failed to fulfill obligations arising from the decision of the High
00:07:10Representative of September 20, 2023, which
00:07:14adopted the law on amendments to the law on the Srebrenica Memorial Center,
00:07:18Potočari, a memorial and cemetery for the victims of the genocide of
00:07:211995. The mentioned amendments significantly
00:07:24expanded the mandate of the Memorial Center in the areas of genocide research
00:07:28and education, while new Article 15a established
00:07:31a department for genocide research and education about genocide within
00:07:35the center. Members of the department are entitled to salary and compensation in accordance with
00:07:39the law, and the Ministry of Finance and Treasury of Bosnia and Herzegovina, under
00:07:43the leadership of Minister Midžić, according to the allegations in the complaint, did not take
00:07:46the necessary steps to ensure the organizational structure and
00:07:49financial
00:07:50resources.
00:07:55The representative in the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:07:58Šemsudin Mehmedović, held a press conference where he spoke about the imbalance
00:08:02of employed Bosniaks in state institutions in relation to other
00:08:05constituent peoples. Mehmedović spoke about the proposal
00:08:08of amendments to the Law on Administration that would address this problem.
00:08:14I proposed that, if an institution employs less than
00:08:1810% of the legally determined number belonging to each constituent people
00:08:22and others, priority should be given to candidates belonging to the people who are not
00:08:26sufficiently represented in the employment structure of each administrative
00:08:29body .
00:08:31My proposal for urgent parliamentary procedure was
00:08:35expeditiously rejected by the votes of representatives from the Republika Srpska and
00:08:38HDZ. "we can ask ourselves
00:08:43why exactly these two
00:08:46political partners,
00:08:48before that in 2023, I asked the administrative inspector
00:08:52to instruct eight specific
00:08:55institutions to eliminate the imbalance of
00:08:58members of the constituent peoples, Croats, Serbs and Bosniaks,
00:09:02as well as others, but in vain, the inspectorate obviously
00:09:05exists to fulfill the wishes of HDZ's Minister of
00:09:09Justice, Mr. Bonozo." Around 50 driving instructors from
00:09:16Tuzla Canton protested again today in Tuzla, demanding that the
00:09:19cantonal Ministry of Education and Science immediately withdraw the decision on
00:09:23the introduction of new software in the process of taking driving
00:09:26tests. Representatives of driving schools claim that the imposition of
00:09:29digitalization in this form is contrary to valid legal
00:09:32regulations. Due to this long-standing conflict between driving schools and the
00:09:36ministry, only candidates suffer. For two months now,
00:09:39driving tests in Tuzla Canton have been completely blocked because
00:09:43driving schools refuse to implement the new system, which means candidates
00:09:47cannot appear before the examination committee. Instructors say that
00:09:50they will not give up their demands and that they will continue with protests until
00:09:54the relevant ministry revokes the decision on the
00:09:58mandatory introduction of software and initiates a dialogue to find a
00:10:01legally based solution.
00:10:04We
00:10:09don't ask for anything that is against the law, let
00:10:12the minister show, let him
00:10:15say that decision, by what law
00:10:17that decision is tied, and why isn't that law in Sarajevo, why isn't that law
00:10:21in Zenica, why isn't that law? "If it's not in Republika Srpska, why is only
00:10:25in Tuzla Canton one
00:10:28decision subject to law and it is binding, look, it is
00:10:32binding, so that so many people lose their jobs,
00:10:36that is really worrying,
00:10:39well, I personally have, that means
00:10:4319 to 20 applications submitted
00:10:46for two months already, no one is coming out for regulations,
00:10:50nor for first aid, nor for driving, practically for..." Of course
00:10:53we suffer, that means we have no work, we work,
00:10:56we cannot work, our work is prevented, that's it,
00:11:00The death toll in the powerful earthquake of
00:11:137.4 on the Richter scale that hit Colombia on Monday rose
00:11:17to 265. Around 3,500 people were injured, and
00:11:21496 people are officially listed as missing. Meanwhile,
00:11:25on an unofficial online platform for the missing, nearly
00:11:284,200 people were listed. Rescuers are still
00:11:32under pressure searching the rubble, in a race against time and
00:11:36the crucial 72-hour deadline, after which the chances
00:11:39of finding survivors significantly decrease.
00:11:43to wait for the news from
00:11:49the personnel who are searching the rubble for patients. One.
00:11:53They inform us that they have already found
00:11:56patients, that there is life, uh we enter,
00:12:00we extract the patient, uh and
00:12:02uh we provide the first medical attention, we stabilize them and
00:12:05then we transfer them in the ambulances. We already have all the medical
00:12:09team ready and coordinated for that
00:12:11action.
00:12:14We are trying to get the people out while we have
00:12:17everything ready here to help them. We have
00:12:21medicines, gauze, anything to give them the first aid.
00:12:36Japan lodged a strong protest regarding Vladimir
00:12:39Putin's visit to the Kuril Islands, which was the first time a Russian
00:12:43president had visited the disputed archipelago. Russian state media
00:12:46reported that Putin visited Iturup, known in Japan as
00:12:50Etorofu, one of the four islands in the Kuril chain claimed by both
00:12:53Russia and Japan, Reuters reports.
00:12:56Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi stated
00:13:00that these islands are inalienable Japanese territory, both
00:13:04historically and according to international law, and that the Government of
00:13:06Japan strongly protests this visit.
00:13:09The Northern Territories are an integral part
00:13:13of Japan's territory, both historically and according to international
00:13:16law. This latest visit to Etorofu Island by the current President
00:13:19of Russia is contrary to Japan's consistent stance regarding the northern
00:13:23one.
00:14:15We continue to monitor the conditions in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:14:19which have been sunny since early morning, stable under the influence of
00:14:22anticyclones, and that is something that will accompany us.
00:14:25In the continuation of this Thursday, the wind is mostly dominant
00:14:29from the northeast, of weak to
00:14:32moderate intensity, a moderate bora, therefore blowing in the area of
00:14:35Herzegovina and the southwestern part of Bosnia, all of which
00:14:39affects temperatures. We expect today to be the hottest in
00:14:42the Herzegovinian area, up to a maximum of 38, 39, in
00:14:46Bosnia mostly up to a maximum of 33 will be the
00:14:49maximum temperatures, stable conditions will accompany us
00:14:53during the weekend, but... The new week brings a real
00:14:56turn, significantly more unstable conditions,
00:15:00rain, showers, thunderstorms and it seems also a noticeable drop in
00:15:03temperatures.
00:15:06That was all in this news overview, dear viewers, more information
00:15:09can always be found on the N1 portal. Thank you for your attention, goodbye.
00:30:34tomorrow today.
00:30:37concrete, the construction industry is looking for ways
00:30:41to reduce its massive carbon
00:30:43footprint,
00:30:46but it's still early days for change in the
00:30:48sector.
00:30:53One new sustainable approach and much more coming up
00:30:56tomorrow today.
