00:00:20Good afternoon, dear viewers, you are watching an informational event
00:00:23today.
00:00:27Miners from Breza refused to go into the pit due to unpaid wages and announced a protest
00:00:31in front of the headquarters of Elektroprivreda Bosnia and
00:00:33Herzegovina.
00:00:36The fight against fires in Bosnia and Herzegovina continues, on the ground in Bihać, all
00:00:40available forces in the area of Bosansko Grahovo are operating two
00:00:43R-tractors.
00:00:47At least 17 people killed in Russian attacks across Ukraine. Kyiv launched
00:00:51its largest drone attack on Moscow in the last two
00:00:54years.
00:00:58The fifth day of the Sarajevo Film Festival brings achievements related to important
00:01:01social issues, reporting on the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also animated
00:01:05films.
00:01:11The workers of the Breza Coal Mine, who started a labor disobedience yesterday in the second shift,
00:01:15did not go down into the pit this morning either, and in two days they could protest in Sarajevo
00:01:19in front of the Elektroprivreda Bosnia and Herzegovina building, announced the president of
00:01:22the union, Jasmin Telalović. They started labor disobedience because
00:01:26of unpaid wages for July and because they have no information on when
00:01:30it could be paid. Tomorrow they have a scheduled meeting at the Elektroprivreda headquarters
00:01:34where they will try to agree on the payment
00:01:37date. The Breza mine fell into production problems
00:01:40due to the fact that they are relocating equipment from a pit
00:01:44450 m deep, i.e.
00:01:45the longwall.
00:01:48In the past 10 days, I must say that the union and the management
00:01:51of the company have made enormous efforts to provide a solution
00:01:55based on which the payment of wages could be made.
00:01:58Mm, there was not enough understanding from
00:02:02the ruling public company Elektroprivreda to overcome
00:02:05this problem, and based on that, we were simply
00:02:08forced to take some more radical steps, that is,
00:02:12the workers, meaning, on their own accord, stopped production, mm,
00:02:16until this problem is resolved. If
00:02:19mm this is not resolved, then with protests, if
00:02:23it is not resolved through these joint meetings, most likely
00:02:26we will also hold those protests on Friday. "If it is not
00:02:30resolved, there is a possibility that those protests will be held at some
00:02:34other locations, of course, the steering committee would again make a decision, just as it
00:02:38made this decision. If it is not resolved, perhaps even in front of the government building of the Federation, perhaps
00:02:42even in some other locations, until this
00:02:46problem that they are currently
00:02:47facing is resolved.
00:02:53Two R-tractors joined the extinguishing of a large fire in the area of Bosansko
00:02:56Grahovo and have already carried out the first sorties on the fire site, confirmed... Marino Vidović
00:03:00from Civil Protection of Canton 10. Vidović pointed out that the fire
00:03:04is currently being extinguished with all available means with continuous engagement
00:03:09You watched N1 news, thank you for of ground teams. At the fire site workers of the Bosansko Grahovo Forestry, members of the
00:03:13voluntary fire brigade Koritna and civil protection of Bosansko
00:03:17Grahovo are engaged. An additional fire broke out on Monday around 8 p.m. on
00:03:21Obljaj hill after a lightning strike. Available teams
00:03:24headed towards the new fire site, but workers of the Bosansko Grahovo forestry
00:03:27managed to extinguish it.
00:03:31The fire situation in the Una-Sana Canton is calming down.
00:03:34Yesterday afternoon, a helicopter of the armed forces was engaged
00:03:38in extinguishing the fire on Plješevica. According to information from relevant services,
00:03:42the situation is currently under control, the fire site is under constant
00:03:45supervision. The fire at this moment, we can say
00:03:49is localized, so there is one part of the fire uh
00:03:53vertically spreading towards uh
00:03:56the top of Plješevica, so to speak, and the goal of the forces that are extinguishing
00:04:00it, I mean ground and helicopter forces, is to
00:04:03prevent the fire from spreading further over a
00:04:07so-called forest road that is located in that area, so that it does not eventually
00:04:11escalate further into tall forests, uh, where there are
00:04:14certain pines and so on. The use of
00:04:18that helicopter has been approved, and yesterday, in the late afternoon, it had already
00:04:22made several sorties in the lower
00:04:25parts of Mount Plješavica. Today, it is there all day
00:04:28and the plan is that... it will operate in this, as I said,
00:04:31upper part and that together with these ground
00:04:35forces, we will try to finally extinguish that
00:04:38fire.
00:04:41Fires are still raging in Serbia, especially in the Deliblatska Peščara area.
00:04:45In the village of Plavinac in Smederevo, a 7-year-old
00:04:49man died. A young man who tried to help him suffered
00:04:52burns. A large fire in Serbia near the border with Bulgaria
00:04:55caused thick smoke in parts of Sofia and Pernik
00:04:59regions. In that area, the smell of burning
00:05:01vegetation is felt. The Sofia inspectorate has already started to examine
00:05:05the level of fine particles in the air above Sofia. For now, there is no information about
00:05:09flights that have been suspended due to smoke. Citizens of Sofia
00:05:13were told to stay at home.
00:05:17Three Croatian citizens, one of whom also has dual, i.e., Serbian
00:05:20citizenship, as well as a Polish citizen, have been remanded in custody for one month, stated
00:05:24the investigating judge of the Zadar County Court, Hrvoje
00:05:27Visković. They were arrested two days ago and are suspected of causing
00:05:31fires at 10 locations in Zadar County. The collection of
00:05:34evidence is ongoing, the arrested persons admitted guilt. They caused
00:05:38the fires by burning dry grass next to the road. The motive for causing
00:05:41the fires is not known. The judge said that the suspects
00:05:45also presented their
00:05:46defense.
00:05:51At least 17 people have been killed in a Russian attack on Ukraine, 10 people were
00:05:55killed in the Kharkiv region, two in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.
00:05:58Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on his X-account that
00:06:02the post office and shops in
00:06:05the Kharkiv region were hit, in an area surrounded by residential
00:06:08buildings. He stated that Ukraine will respond to this Russian
00:06:12attack, and that it is important for Kyiv's partners to put
00:06:15pressure on
00:06:17Russia.
00:06:21Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that
00:06:25Ukraine launched an attack on the Russian capital with more than
00:06:28600 drones. Sobyanin says it is the largest attack in
00:06:31the last two years. Three people were injured, but he did not
00:06:35announce whether any damage was caused. The mayor stated
00:06:39that about 180 drones were shot down in the capital region.
00:06:42Ukrainian Telegram channels report that Russian anti-aircraft defense
00:06:46hit a residential building near Moscow in an attempt
00:06:50to shoot down drones, and that a fire was observed at
00:06:53an aluminum factory in the Moscow
00:06:56region.
00:07:00Iran will switch to a fully offensive military approach after negotiations for a
00:07:04permanent end to the war with the United States reached an impasse, a senior Iranian
00:07:08official told Reuters. He warned
00:07:11that... the country's institutions must be ready for
00:07:15escalation in the Strait of Hormuz and the wider region. He added
00:07:18that Tehran is ready to carry out a timely and precise military strike to break
00:07:22the American naval blockade. Washington simultaneously rejected the possibility
00:07:26of extending the temporary ceasefire agreement. Yesterday,
00:07:30the deadline for the two countries to reach a broader agreement on Iran's
00:07:33nuclear program and American
00:07:35sanctions expired.
00:07:39Spain was hit by two earthquakes within half an hour
00:07:43near Granada, the first was a magnitude of 4.7 and the second
00:07:464.2. According to Spanish media, three people were
00:07:49injured, one was transferred to the hospital. In the last
00:07:52few hours, several weaker earthquakes with magnitudes from
00:07:562.6 to 4 on the Richter scale were registered. The police called on
00:07:59citizens to remain calm and not to stay near buildings due to
00:08:03possible collapse of parts of structures. Emergency services are on the ground while
00:08:06the Granada Football Club for safety reasons has closed
00:08:10its club store and ticket offices until further notice.
00:08:17The Raskrinkavanje portal received confirmation from Luxembourg that
00:08:21the takeover of Media United Group has not yet been approved by
00:08:24the Luxembourg regulatory body, although yesterday the owner of the Portuguese fund
00:08:28Alpac Pedro Vergas David, took over directorial functions in
00:08:31companies through which N1, Nova S, Nova RS, Radar
00:08:35operate today. The independent Luxembourg audiovisual media authority,
00:08:39Alija, confirmed to Raskrinkavanje that the approval process for
00:08:42the change of control over Adria News Network, i.e.
00:08:46the media group that Alpak intends to take over from United
00:08:49Group, is still ongoing. The approval of the change of control is the responsibility
00:08:52of the relevant Luxembourg ministry which requested Alija's
00:08:56opinion on this
00:08:57transaction.
00:09:02The Commercial Court of Montenegro accepted the request of the founders and minority owners
00:09:06of Television Vijesti and temporarily blocked changes in the
00:09:09ownership and management structure of the company, assessing
00:09:13that there are sufficient grounds to preserve the existing state until the dispute
00:09:16over the sale of the majority stake in it is resolved. The court believes that the
00:09:19transfer of United Media's stake to Adria News cannot be viewed separately from
00:09:23the announced sale of that company to Alpa Capital, and that there is
00:09:27reasonable doubt that the right of first refusal of the founders and minority owners
00:09:31could be circumvented. Until the arbitration dispute is concluded,
00:09:34changes to the statute and representation before
00:09:37regulators, which could open the way for the transfer of the majority
00:09:41stake from United Media to Adria News, have also been blocked. The founders,
00:09:44minority owners welcomed the court's
00:09:46decision.
00:09:52The fifth day of the Sarajevo Film Festival brings a rich film program. The program includes
00:09:56works whose plot is related to important social topics, reporting on the war in Bosnia
00:10:00and Herzegovina, but also animated films. The festival attracted
00:10:03a large number of tourists who want to experience the festival atmosphere and enjoy
00:10:07the rich film
00:10:08program.
00:10:15It's very picturesque, a lot of things are happening, if you want to go to a movie, you go
00:10:19to a movie, if you want to go to a party, you go to a party, a very nice
00:10:22place.
00:10:25It was very good and the place is very nice, the people are kind to us
00:10:28and they accept us well, it's a very nice place. What will you do
00:10:32in the coming days? We're going to explore the city a bit more, later
00:10:36we'll watch a movie, that's it, we're here until
00:10:38Friday.
00:10:41There's a lot of entertainment and it's very crowded in the evening. Last night we
00:10:44got stuck in traffic, I didn't like it, too many people for my
00:10:48taste. And the music? The music is good, not my genre,
00:10:52but it's okay. And the movies, will you watch them? Yes,
00:10:55we're going to the festival, we bought tickets for
00:10:58several movies, the atmosphere is always great at
00:11:01the festival, and last year we already lost our
00:11:05voices a bit, so everything always connects, first a movie and then
00:11:08somewhere else and you never know where you'll end up, so the atmosphere
00:11:12is great. Thank you, it's my
00:11:15first time coming to Sarajevo for the festival, I've heard
00:11:19a lot about it from her, but it's even better than I expected
00:11:22and "the atmosphere is really
00:11:26fantastic, have you been out at night, what did you do? Yes, yes, it was
00:11:30mostly spontaneous, as she said, we always ended up in
00:11:34some place that wasn't even in
00:11:35the plan.
00:11:38Croatian writer, journalist and columnist Vedrana Rudan passed away
00:11:42at the age of 77 after a long, serious illness. The writer's
00:11:45place of death was announced with a message that she had gone to an area without signal.
00:11:49Vedrana Rudan was born on October 29,
00:11:521949, in Opatija. She was one of
00:11:55the most read and most controversial contemporary Croatian writers,
00:11:59known for her direct and provocative style, sharp criticism of social
00:12:03phenomena, politicians and authorities. Rudan publicly spoke on her blog and social
00:12:06networks about her struggle with
00:12:08cancer.
00:12:12For the end of the news, watch the weather forecast.
00:12:16Good day, dear viewers, the cold front, which is admittedly weakening, has nevertheless affected
00:12:19parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, bringing localized rain, so
00:12:23today the air temperature is slightly lower,
00:12:27but the humidity is higher, so we haven't achieved any significant
00:12:30cooling. The front is slowly moving towards
00:12:33the southeast, still causing more clouds and localized
00:12:36showers mainly in central and eastern areas and occasionally in the south,
00:12:40but as the day progresses, the clouds will gradually disperse,
00:12:44so in the afternoon there will be more dry weather,
00:12:47sunny periods, so the day in Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:12:51should end peacefully. As for temperatures, he says...
00:12:55today we are slightly lower with numbers, in Bosnia it remained
00:12:58below 30°, in the south a few degrees above, these are
00:13:02everywhere a few degrees lower temperatures than yesterday,
00:13:05but due to higher humidity there is no significant feeling
00:13:09of freshness. Tomorrow again
00:13:11hot, sunny, air temperatures rise above
00:13:1430, on Thursday sometimes even above 35. It seems that there might
00:13:18be some new showers around Friday and
00:13:21Saturday, mainly in the north of Bosnia, we will still see their exact
00:13:25location. All in all, the hot summer weather continues, but it will
00:13:29not be completely stable.
00:13:34your attention, goodbye.
00:13:57A new day begins. The show's friend
00:14:00Medicana Health Group.
00:14:13Very demanding fire season. Firefighters continue to fight fires
00:14:16across Bosnia and Herzegovina. Armed forces helicopters engaged
00:14:20near Bosansko Grahovo and Bihać. Mirsad Šehić, head of the Bihać Civil Protection Service,
00:14:24speaks for New Day below. Good morning, Mr.
00:14:27Šehić. Good morning to you and your
00:14:30viewers. The much-anticipated rain has fallen. What is
00:14:34the situation in the Bihać area at this moment, are the
00:14:37fires on Plješevica under control or is there a danger
00:14:41of them flaring up again, how much can this current rain contribute
00:14:45to making the situation better?
00:14:49Well, you said it well, last night during the past night, fortunately, we had
00:14:53rain. In the area of the city of Bihać, as well as on
00:14:57Mount Plješevica, where we were
00:14:59last night late until after midnight, until about 30
00:15:03together with all the available forces that were in
00:15:06the area of Plješevica, the fire is currently,
00:15:09we can say, localized, so there is one part
00:15:13of the fire, uh, vertically spreading towards
00:15:16uh, the top of Plješevica, so to speak, and the goal
00:15:20of the forces that are extinguishing it, I mean ground and helicopter
00:15:23forces, is to prevent the fire from
00:15:27spreading further over a so-called forest road that is located
00:15:30in that area, so that it does not eventually escalate further into tall
00:15:34forests, uh, where there are certain pines and so
00:15:37on. Mm, well, as you said, it's
00:15:40a fire that has been going on for the third day in the area of the city of Bihać, that is,
00:15:44in the area of Valjevica and Mount Plješevica. Of course,
00:15:48besides that fire, we had about ten
00:15:52other fires in the area of the city of Bihać that were also
00:15:55challenging and dangerous and that threatened both
00:15:59residential and auxiliary business facilities of our citizens, but, well,
00:16:03we can say at this moment that fire has been brought under control
00:16:06with about... ten firefighters
00:16:09from various professional services, primarily from
00:16:13the civil protection service of the city of Bihać and the fire brigade, as well as
00:16:16the Bihać Forestry, mountain rescue service,
00:16:20SOS, organizations of the city of Bihać,
00:16:23public utility companies of Vodovod Bihać which also, with their
00:16:26fire trucks and tankers, delivered water
00:16:30with their tankers and the public utility company
00:16:33Komrad, so a wide spectrum
00:16:37of uh... members of various professional services who were on the ground these
00:16:40two days and during the past night. Of course, to that,
00:16:44I can also add the engagement, as you said, of the helicopter of the Armed
00:16:47Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina which, well, this is the first
00:16:51time, practically, that in the area of the city of
00:16:54Bihać, uh, at the request of our service, which was
00:16:57sent in accordance with the procedures, the use of that helicopter was approved,
00:17:01and yesterday, in the late afternoon, it had already made
00:17:04several sorties in the lower parts of Mount
00:17:08Plješevica. Today, it is there all day, and
00:17:11the plan is that it will operate in this, as I said,
00:17:15upper part, and that, together with these ground forces, we will try
00:17:19to finally, in the end, extinguish that fire.
00:17:22How exhausted are the people, Mr. Šehić, who have been fighting fires for days?
00:17:26Do you have enough firefighters to cover
00:17:29potential new fires if they appear simultaneously
00:17:32in multiple locations, and what has this experience with extinguishing
00:17:36shown?
00:17:39Well, as I already said, we had in parallel with
00:17:42this fire about ten other fires in the wider
00:17:46area of Bihać, starting from the Ljutička valley, up to
00:17:50the settlements towards Kulen, Bakfu, Klisa, Ripač, Vedro
00:17:53Polje, Ružica, so a wider area of the city of Bihać, and of course
00:17:57citizens must, must be aware of that, and this
00:18:01fire, of course, on Mount Plješavica, which at no
00:18:04point posed any direct, I would say,
00:18:07danger to the population or
00:18:11to the settlements that are more than 5-6 km away, in parallel, we
00:18:15are fighting and protecting other
00:18:17objects, property, and the health and
00:18:21lives of our
00:18:22citizens.
00:18:29For a moment, Mr. I lost you, but it seems
00:18:33that the picture and sound are returning, Mr. Šehić, can you
00:18:36hear me? "I hear, I hear, now I
00:18:40hear you too, just continue, yes, yes,
00:18:43yes, of course, it is a challenging period that we
00:18:47are currently in, the air temperatures are very high, which
00:18:51are conducive to the occurrence and spread of fires
00:18:54in open areas, and of course our firefighting
00:18:57forces and the others that we listed
00:19:00uh are quite burdened, we are still
00:19:03resisting all these fires, but what is very important to mention to all our
00:19:07citizens again is to refrain from
00:19:11lighting any fires in open areas,
00:19:15so that it does not escalate. Look, we are witnesses that it can escalate
00:19:19in one second and turn into a fire with
00:19:22unwanted consequences, so we appeal to all our citizens because
00:19:25our capacities are not unlimited and we simply cannot respond
00:19:29to 10 fires at once, but we have to make an assessment based on
00:19:32the seriousness of the situation. Since you already mentioned it, in
00:19:36Croatia, where fires are also raging, we already have
00:19:39arrests of individuals who caused fires.
00:19:43Do you have any suspicions or evidence, perhaps, that
00:19:47the fires we are talking about and that you are extinguishing were actually caused by human
00:19:49factors? Is that mostly something
00:19:53that is the cause and that
00:19:55tomorrow can be the subject of
00:19:58prosecution? Well, according to my experience, up until
00:20:02now, for about ten years that I have been in rescue
00:20:05and firefighting structures, usually... more than 90%
00:20:09of cases involve human factor, whether it's intent, whether
00:20:12it's negligence. Of course, there are certain natural causes,
00:20:16discarded glass, possibly a bottle in nature, lightning
00:20:19and so on, but mostly man is the cause.
00:20:23Therefore, for that reason, we
00:20:24appeal...
00:20:27Excuse me, when you say discarded glass, lightning,
00:20:30a bottle, well,
00:20:33probably many don't see
00:20:36it as a possible or potential reason to cause a fire
00:20:40other than some open burning that we
00:20:43all witness. Please tell us how
00:20:46small a spark is enough, like the glass you mentioned,
00:20:50to start a forest fire. Well,
00:20:53precisely, a discarded piece of glass in nature or a
00:20:56bottle that will reflect sunlight
00:20:59onto a certain spot is enough to heat up the grass,
00:21:02which is practically, as they say, like gunpowder, and it will ignite quickly.
00:21:06Also, I think one of the more common
00:21:09causes is the carelessness of our citizens who drive
00:21:12cars and throw cigarette butts out of their vehicles. I think
00:21:16almost all of us have seen that many times. And
00:21:20drivers who mm drive vehicles, so, I
00:21:23really appeal to our people not to throw cigarette butts out of vehicles, out of
00:21:27the windows of their cars while driving, because the next two or three
00:21:31cars that come by will simply mm
00:21:33blow that cigarette butt, so to speak, to the side where
00:21:37of course there is grass that is just waiting, as they say,
00:21:40to be ignited, and there you have a fire. So, no cigarette
00:21:44butts at all, meaning not from vehicles or in any other
00:21:47way, because they are also one of the most common
00:21:50causes, I would say, of fires. It's probably
00:21:54due to negligence, let's say, that way, but here
00:21:57it turns into unwanted, unwanted fires with
00:22:01large consequences, uh, I honestly,
00:22:05I can say, when it comes to Bihać, so far I haven't
00:22:08received from the relevant services that are obliged and that should
00:22:11act and sanction certain irresponsible
00:22:14behaviors, so far, as far as I know, I haven't received any
00:22:18feedback that such people have been located, reported,
00:22:21punished, and so on. On this occasion, I appeal to all law
00:22:25enforcement agencies, to all inspection and police services, all those
00:22:28who are competent, to work a little more on this, to
00:22:31punish, if necessary, certain irresponsible
00:22:35individuals, because if that's the only
00:22:38way for our irresponsible people to come to their senses, then let
00:22:41it be so, because simply this way it turns out that everyone can do what
00:22:45they want, that there is someone there who will... when you call
00:22:49123, who will definitely have to go out at any time.
00:22:52However, again, I say our firefighting
00:22:56forces, this is not unknown, so
00:22:59firefighting forces in the entire country, and in the Federation,
00:23:03are not at a very high level, because for years there has not been
00:23:07enough investment in both human resources and material
00:23:11equipment and so on. So, in that way, we are somewhat
00:23:14not sufficiently capacitated, and
00:23:18plus the irresponsibility of citizens who behave so arrogantly, where
00:23:22you simply receive 10 calls at once, you have to
00:23:25make a certain, I would say, triage to see where the
00:23:29situation is where the fire directly threatens human
00:23:32life and health and property, to solve
00:23:35that first, and only then to go to these, let's say, slightly
00:23:39less serious ones. Of course, every fire is serious, but simply
00:23:42we all have to be aware that even much stronger countries than Bosnia and
00:23:46Herzegovina, we see that, do not have at one
00:23:50moment enough forces and capacities to be able
00:23:52to respond simultaneously and go to
00:23:56all those fires that simply occur so
00:23:59systematically. Absolutely, so it is a very challenging and dangerous job
00:24:03and your capacities are very limited, as you yourself
00:24:06say. What you are appealing to the prosecution has its
00:24:10place, considering that it seems we cannot appeal to people's awareness
00:24:13and we cannot count, I would say, on people's awareness. Now I
00:24:17would like, considering that you speak very
00:24:20experientially about what it means when you have multiple fire sites,
00:24:24you literally have to choose the biggest one out of all those evils,
00:24:27you don't know how threatening this second one
00:24:31is to people's lives in that assessment. We were
00:24:34here with Mr. Cacan from the professional
00:24:37fire service, who is retired, talking about
00:24:40the challenges firefighters face. And he drew a parallel between the number of
00:24:44firefighters, which is about 2,000 in total in all of Bosnia and
00:24:47Herzegovina, roughly with the capacities
00:24:50of European countries where fires are currently being extinguished, where every day
00:24:54you have 2,000 people on the ground. So I would like
00:24:58you to tell us what it looks like on the ground, how much
00:25:02you would practically normally have to rest the people you have,
00:25:05but you don't rest them, then we have pictures like we did
00:25:09could see the other day where literally when firefighters take off their helmets and gear,
00:25:12so they are not crying, they are
00:25:16actually emotionally, physically,
00:25:21destroyed people at that moment because they can't respond to what
00:25:25they would like and what their job
00:25:27predicts. How does it look on an emotional level, at every
00:25:31level, when you know you are keeping people in the field longer than you
00:25:34should?
00:25:37You see, the law on protection and rescue, and
00:25:41that is, the law on fire protection and firefighting in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, stipulated
00:25:44that one firefighter shift should
00:25:47last a maximum of 12 hours, for example, and it can
00:25:50exceptionally be extended if the situation in
00:25:53the field requires it, however, if you have
00:25:56this day after day, so if you have such a constant state, it is normal that
00:26:00this leads to exhaustion. That is, to
00:26:03a potential collapse of firefighting forces, we all must be aware that
00:26:07not only in the firefighting service but in any other service where you
00:26:10simply do not respect that
00:26:13kind of
00:26:15work and rest schedule and certain
00:26:19regeneration of those forces, you will simply reach a point of collapse
00:26:22at some point, it doesn't take much intelligence to
00:26:26conclude that. Unfortunately, again,
00:26:29I say our country or or or or in
00:26:33this case the federation, since we are decentralized when it comes to
00:26:36firefighting, I think that or society as a whole, let me
00:26:40put it that way, I believe that it does not pay
00:26:43enough attention to it, that it does not recognize enough what
00:26:47it is. Generally, the civil protection service and firefighting
00:26:51activity as such within that, it simply seems to me
00:26:55that people mostly sit at their keyboards
00:26:58of their computers, mobile phones, drink coffee and watch what happens...
00:27:03I doubt that any of those individuals has ever walked
00:27:07a mountain even without a fire to see how difficult it is
00:27:10to walk without anything on the mountain
00:27:14on slopes of 50 to 70 degrees
00:27:17of inclination where it's rocky, where besides fire
00:27:21you are also threatened by snakes and various other, so
00:27:24various other dangers, of course, the weather is 35-40 degrees,
00:27:28and plus you have a fire, you have smoke, these are very, very demanding
00:27:32conditions, and I think that this society has not yet
00:27:36shown sufficient sensitivity towards firefighting
00:27:39activity. If we are talking about this in the territory of the Federation,
00:27:43something must urgently, urgently
00:27:45change, both in government structures,
00:27:49starting from the highest levels that pass
00:27:52legal regulations, and so in that normative part
00:27:56that regulates this area, as well as at local levels, so at lower levels
00:28:00that are responsible according to their local
00:28:02assessments of the risk of fires and other disasters,
00:28:05to consider what are the minimum necessary
00:28:09forces so that you can, in accordance with all that goes into
00:28:13that, let's say, into that assessment, into that calculation, what is the number of people
00:28:17who should be in that area, so there are more
00:28:20factors that are taken into account, it's not just the number of
00:28:24inhabitants, it is often mentioned that the European average
00:28:27is one firefighter per thousand inhabitants, which would mean if we are talking
00:28:31about the city of Bihać, with 56,000 inhabitants according to
00:28:34the last census, there should be about 56 firefighters, of course, the
00:28:38area of the area itself is taken into account,
00:28:41for example, the area of the city of Bihać is about 900 km, a total of
00:28:45very large
00:28:45area.
00:28:54We will quickly return to current topics and guests. The sponsor
00:28:58of the show is the General Hospital Medicana
00:29:00Sarajevo.

00:29:40Do chronic pains slow you down in your daily duties? My joints were cracking, and
00:29:44when I leaned on my hip, it hurt. Do you wake up
00:29:48stiff with back pain and inflammation of your whole
00:29:51body? Painful degenerative diseases such as
00:29:54arthritis and osteoarthritis are a very big problem, they affect
00:29:57our joints and can cause pain and swelling. They make it difficult to perform
00:30:01the simplest daily tasks. I fell out of nowhere,
00:30:05maybe I didn't have, I broke my arm, I couldn't
00:30:09do anything with my arm, I was in a cast for six months,
00:30:12lying down, I walked to the toilet on crutches. Today we
00:30:16present Activix, a safe, natural and very effective
00:30:19dietary supplement for painful and inflamed joints. Activix contains
00:30:23a powerful concentrate in a capsule that quickly delivers natural ingredients to
00:30:27the joints, alleviating inflammation. Before I started
00:30:30using Activix tablets, there
00:30:33was swelling of the joints in my legs,
00:30:35knees, hands, fingers,
00:30:39mostly I had no sensation to hold heavy
00:30:42things in my hands, they kept falling. In the first month,
00:30:45I started taking Activix tablets. Every time I
00:30:49felt better, I even adjusted
00:30:52my arm, is that okay, when I saw that I could knead
00:30:56a cake for myself with my fist, I was overjoyed.
