00:00:00carries it well, notes Professor Radosavljević. However, our interlocutor
00:00:04hopes that Ana Brnabić's proposal is a joke, not because it's bad
00:00:08for Vučić, but because, he says, it would be bad for
00:00:11Serbia. That would really mean opening the
00:00:14path to direct dictatorship,
00:00:17and we are already experiencing some of its versions for at least the last
00:00:21two
00:00:31And by the end of the news, we're taking you to
00:00:33Niš.
00:00:37How the city prepared for tonight and the opening
00:00:40of the international film
00:00:41festival.
00:00:46And before that, news from around the world.
00:00:50Since there was no progress in the negotiations between the US
00:00:53and Iran within the foreseen deadline, Washington decided
00:00:57to economically isolate Iran, but also all
00:01:00those who cooperate with Iran. The main question is how
00:01:03China will react to that American
00:01:07move. The war with Iran, which according to Donald
00:01:10Trump's plans was supposed to be finished in a few weeks, is still not
00:01:14over six months later, and Washington
00:01:17continues with threats that have ranged from deleting
00:01:21a civilization to the latest one they called D-Day
00:01:25for the Iranian economy. The US
00:01:28threatens sanctions not only against Iran,
00:01:30but also foreign banks, companies and intermediaries who
00:01:33continue to do business with
00:01:36bids. Although these are Iran. This potentially
00:01:37promotes Lika products, and affects Chinese, Turkish, Qatari and other companies. These are not
00:01:40United Nations sanctions, these are not multilateral sanctions.
00:01:44We call on all parties to fully engage in negotiations and mediation led
00:01:48by Qatar and Pakistan, along with other regional actors. We believe
00:01:52that this is the only way out of this crisis. However, the greatest fear
00:01:56is of China's reaction. Beijing, which imports
00:01:5980% of Iranian oil, has already announced that any
00:02:02sanctions would be illegal and that it will do everything to
00:02:06protect its interests.
00:02:09It is not clear how far the American administration is willing to go in that
00:02:12direction, especially considering that presidents Trump and Xi
00:02:16Jinping are planning a new meeting at the end of September.
00:02:20There is currently a very sensitive
00:02:23And this reminds me of trade truce between the US and China, and a move against a major
00:02:26Chinese bank that would cut it off from the international
00:02:30financial system could seriously damage those
00:02:33relations. In Iran, however, they are convinced that they can withstand
00:02:37new sanctions. We have been under sanctions for 47
00:02:42risks are much higher years. We have now closed the Strait of Hormuz for six
00:02:44months. We have kept it closed for six months. They are now trying to figure out what to do.
00:02:48truly on that knife edge, They want to somehow talk about
00:02:51reopening the passage, but they cannot. This will not
00:02:55affect our friends and partners. These are our
00:02:58allies and they have passed their test, thank God, they were
00:03:02with our country, and their interests are tied to our
00:03:05country. An oil tanker was struck
00:03:08by an unidentified projectile at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz
00:03:12on Tuesday. For now, it is not known who hit
00:03:15the ship. According to available information, only two merchant
00:03:18ships managed to pass through this narrow waterway
00:03:30plane landed at Moscow's Vnukovo
00:03:33airport. American CBS reports that CIA
00:03:37Director John
00:03:40Redcliff arrived in Moscow by plane. The Kremlin had
00:03:43previously announced that flight. Incidentally, the CIA
00:03:47in 2024 and 2025 had a role in
00:03:51prisoner exchanges between the US and
00:03:54Russia.
00:03:58And US President Donald Trump is considering
00:04:00changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America
00:04:04at a time of escalating trade conflict with
00:04:07Canada. The lake is located on the border between the two countries, between the American
00:04:11state of New York and the Canadian province of Ontario.
00:04:14Trump announced on Truth Social that the US
00:04:18expects more significant trade with Ontario
00:04:21and therefore is seriously considering a new name.
00:04:24This is not the first similar move by the US President. Namely, at the beginning of 2020,
00:04:28Trump issued an executive order
00:04:31that American authorities refer to the Gulf of Mexico
00:04:35as the American
00:04:37Gulf.
00:04:42Tonight, the first international film festival in Niš
00:04:45officially opens, one of two that will
00:04:49be held this month in the city where the
00:04:52founders of the former film festival
00:04:55split. This one, which is backed by the city authorities, it's not known
00:04:59who and how is paying for it, has been announced as
00:05:01a spectacle. Before the opening, the fortress and the entire city square
00:05:05have been renovated. It was announced that Jean-Claude Van
00:05:09Dam is coming to Niš, but
00:05:13most local actors are announcing that they will not go to
00:05:16this one, but to their own festival which starts
00:05:20in four days.
00:05:23Drill, a line from the film "Drill Worker" because of the international
00:05:26film festival, there where it is under strict protection of both the institute and
00:05:29the state in Niš Fortress. There is absolutely
00:05:32no right for anyone to
00:05:36destroy such a thing. If the law
00:05:39is respected and if we uphold the fact that
00:05:42this is a protected cultural heritage, then there is
00:05:46no talk of any destruction, drilling, or alteration.
00:05:50Above the law, another cinematic analogy, the title of an action film and
00:05:53what happened. The authorities did not protect the fortress, they are
00:05:57preparing a festival in it, posters are put up, the final polishing to
00:06:01full splendor of a spectacle, as the mayor announces, such as
00:06:04Niš has never seen. It will shine, that's for sure, there is so much
00:06:08lighting. Unseen, the authorities say,
00:06:11citizens confirm. "In the time of film, the city never
00:06:15looked like this. How it looked through the centuries, the tourist guide Nenad
00:06:18Rokvić knows. We start our tour from the Fortress. Good day, welcome to
00:06:22Niš Fortress, what you see here is a 300
00:06:26plus year old ambiance, but beneath
00:06:29us lies, that's approximately 2000 years of history that lies
00:06:33in this area where we are now, without one, well,
00:06:3760 years of history belongs to the Niš film festivals."
00:06:41Rokvić recounts many... flat years, including '71
00:06:44when the special guests of local actors and the Niš audience were
00:06:48two-time Oscar winner Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
00:06:51At that time, Niš was something that Dragan Nikolić, our Gagan Nikolić, later said: "Our Niš is Beverly Hills
00:06:55and I want to live in such
00:06:59a Beverly Hills here in our country." Niš today,
00:07:02this is a purely political event, there is nothing here related to
00:07:06culture. As for uh,
00:07:09people who should come to see something, it's still very
00:07:12new for Niš. For the first time, the lighting in the square is turned off so that
00:07:16the evening shines brighter. For the first time, the fortress cannot be seen from the other side of the bridge.
00:07:20Well, you can if you crouch or
00:07:23kneel. Never like this. It refers to the red
00:07:27carpet. Actors did pass through, but from the Stambol Gate to
00:07:30the entrance of the summer stage. Now it's from the hotel exit.
00:07:35Vasari's corridor in Florence when the Medicis
00:07:39wanted to separate themselves from their common people.
00:07:43Not to walk through the mud, but to get from one point to another
00:07:46over the rooftops of houses so as not to mix with
00:07:50those who loved them. No passage allowed, unless you are
00:07:54Jean-Claude Van Dam and we'll see who else from
00:07:57the actors. Rado Šbajić confirmed,
00:08:00how much he pays, that is not discussed. What is known is what is seen,
00:08:04cameras have been set up. Željko Mitrović's studio is also sending his Jovana
00:08:08Jeremić, also announced as a spectacle.
00:08:11Numerous set designs have been placed in the square, a poster for
00:08:15the festival starting on August 29th,
00:08:18for which it has been announced that 120 actors are coming to
00:08:28was not held tonight in the center of Loznica after a group of citizens
00:08:32gathered in Vuk Karadžić Square who opposed its
00:08:35holding. In Šabac, it was held
00:08:39with strong police protection. As reported by
00:08:42Portal PR press from Loznica, a large number
00:08:45of police officers were present in the central city
00:08:49square. Pyrotechnic devices were used and
00:08:52there was pushing with the police. On one side of the square were citizens who
00:08:56opposed the holding of the Pride Caravan while
00:09:00police forces secured
00:09:02the area.
00:12:43the information that Central Serbia was hit by a strong
00:12:46storm this afternoon. You are currently watching
00:12:49what it looked like
00:12:52on Goč.
00:13:00And will it last, our Sara
00:13:03Botić knows.
00:13:05The weather on Wednesday will be mostly sunny and pleasant, temperatures tomorrow
00:13:08around 30 degrees, then until the end of the week, hot again.
00:13:12After the instability of rain passes over our region,
00:13:16stabilization and warmer air will arrive, so the next few days
00:13:20will be sunny and warm. A rise in temperatures
00:13:23is also expected. On Wednesday, the weather will be mostly sunny, with light to
00:13:27moderate cloudiness during the day. The weather will be mostly dry, with light to moderate
00:13:31northerly and northeasterly winds. In the south, the wind
00:13:34will be variable. Minimum temperatures will range from
00:13:3716 to 20 degrees, while during the day
00:13:40it will be pleasant. Maximum temperatures will be from 30
00:13:43to 33 degrees. Only in the south will it be somewhat
00:13:46warmer. Until the end of August, it will be mostly sunny
00:13:50and warm, with temperatures from 30 to 35 degrees. The
00:13:53hottest will be Friday and Saturday with temperatures that will be over
00:13:5735 in many areas. For the weekend,
00:14:00variable cloudiness, with a possible short shower with thunder in some places,
00:14:04but the amount of precipitation will be small. And due to high
00:14:07temperatures and lack of precipitation, the risk of fire in
00:14:11open areas
00:15:07the results of the tender for the remediation of illegally disposed waste in
00:15:11Gospić. Four bids
00:15:13were received.
00:15:17How the multi-year struggle of Gospić residents with illegal waste
00:15:21looked like can be seen in the N1 Television documentary "Gospić
00:15:24and. Our Home" which we will rerun after today's
00:15:27overview.
00:15:31The US presented the announced economic D-Day
00:15:34against Iran. The goal is to issue a final warning
00:15:37to all countries in the world to break their business ties with
00:15:40Iran.
00:15:43West Nile virus has been confirmed in three people in Croatia. How
00:15:47does the virus actually reach humans and how much should we fear
00:15:50mosquitoes? Our Mateo Kar brings the answers.
00:16:07For the remediation of illegally dumped waste in Gospić,
00:16:10a total of four bids have been received. Two relate to
00:16:13the disposal of approximately 650 tons of non-hazardous waste
00:16:17stored in bags, and two to the removal of approximately
00:16:204,500 tons of hazardous scattered waste in the Silos area.
00:16:24The estimated value of the first phase of remediation is
00:16:274.72 million euros without VAT, and the deadline
00:16:30for completion of works is 12 months. Katarina Plantak brings the details.
00:16:34Plantak.
00:16:38The public procurement process for the remediation of the first phase
00:16:42of waste in Gospić has been completed. The Environmental Protection Fund
00:16:45announced that a total of four bids
00:16:48were received. Today we had the opening of bids for two
00:16:52open procurement procedures related to the remediation
00:16:55of illegally disposed waste in
00:16:58the Silos area in Gospić. One
00:17:01procedure was for 650 tons,
00:17:05or about 300 bags of non-hazardous waste
00:17:08at the Silos, where we
00:17:10received two
00:17:14valid procedures according to the Public Procurement Act,
00:17:17due to public interest, we can inform you that for this
00:17:20procedure, at the opening, we received
00:17:23two bids. Likewise, for this more complex procedure
00:17:27where there are 4,500 tons of scattered waste with
00:17:30hazardous properties near the Silos, also
00:17:33taking into account what was mentioned, I can say that we also received
00:17:37two bids from economic entities.
00:17:41First, the expert committee will proceed with its procedure, as I have
00:17:45informed, according to the law's procedure, taking into account
00:17:48public interest and urgency. In the
00:17:51procurement procedure for these big bag sacks, removal is foreseen
00:17:54within six months, as it is non-hazardous waste. As for
00:17:57the scattered waste of 4,500 tons with hazardous
00:18:01properties, the deadline for transport from the site to
00:18:04the disposal facility is up to one year, and another year for further procedures
00:18:08off-site. The public call for temporary covering of almost
00:18:1133 tons of waste buried in the area
00:18:15of PPK Velebit is still ongoing. It is a negotiation
00:18:19process, bids are collected until Friday, August
00:18:2228th. So this most complex waste, 33 tons
00:18:26of buried waste, which contains hazardous properties and mixed soil and
00:18:29construction material. After the publication of the complete
00:18:33expert report from the Faculty of Geotechnics, we proceeded with market research.
00:18:36In the first phase, now the second phase is underway, directed
00:18:40consultations with interested subjects
00:18:42which is currently ongoing. After that, as we
00:18:46said, through the adoption process, we will come out with information to the public
00:18:49about the method of remediation. What
00:18:52this includes, as you yourself said, covering, that is part of this
00:18:55comprehensive procedure, which is one part, the first phase of temporary
00:18:59covering with a protective foil so that during the autumn
00:19:03and winter rainfall,
00:19:06temporary potential... eventual seepage is prevented. And as
00:19:09the excavations proceed, that foil will be rolled up, so
00:19:13that is only part of the integral process and not a permanent solution. Unlike
00:19:17the first public call at the beginning of the year, to which no one
00:19:20applied, now four bids have been received. Their
00:19:24validity still needs to be checked, but it seems that this is indeed a small
00:19:27positive step towards resolving and remediating the hazardous
00:19:31waste dump, the illegal waste dump
00:19:35in Gospić.
00:19:43Troskota, requested from Minister of Finance Tomislav Ćorić
00:19:46a verification of almost 580,000 euros
00:19:49of transactions related to the company Cezar and the case of
00:19:52illegal waste disposal in Gospić and Benkovac. According to
00:19:56data presented by Troskota, in March 2024,
00:20:00an invoice exceeding 369,000
00:20:04euros was recorded, while in April and May, over
00:20:07210,000 euros more was recorded. Troskot asks the Ministry of Finance
00:20:11to determine whether these transactions were recorded,
00:20:14what services or types of waste they pertained to, and whether
00:20:18they were subject to tax supervision and verification of the origin
00:20:22of money, but also to determine whether information about these financial
00:20:25flows, before the halt of waste unloading
00:20:28in 2024, was forwarded to DORH, USKOK, and the State
00:20:32Inspectorate.
00:20:36The state knew everything through A. and knows everything.
00:20:39We asked that question on November 28th, and they haven't answered us
00:20:42to this day. Given that with one click within
00:20:46the tax administration, they can see tax flows, especially VAT.
00:20:51Minister Ćorić is now receiving an official inquiry.
00:20:54He will receive it through the Information Commissioner to comment
00:20:58on those transactions, because here we are
00:21:01exclusively talking about the private company Cezar,
00:21:05but about a company that officially operates
00:21:08within the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, which gives it a public
00:21:12character, whether it wants to or not. And here no one has anything
00:21:15against anyone, but we are obliged as members of parliament
00:21:18to answer and receive answers to the questions we ask
00:21:21and which Croatian citizens ask, related to
00:21:25this biggest bioterrorist act and internal aggression that has
00:21:29plagued Croatia since its
00:21:32independence.
00:21:36The Ministry of Finance responded that due to the investigation into illegal
00:21:39waste disposal, it cannot release data that is not already
00:21:43publicly available. They state that the tax administration, i.e.,
00:21:47its independent sector for financial investigations, has been involved in
00:21:50the inquiries requested by DORH and USKOK from the start. The ministry
00:21:54referred to the USKOK investigation against 10 individuals and four legal entities
00:21:58on suspicion of criminal offenses related to illegal waste disposal,
00:22:02including against the environment, economy, as well as for tax
00:22:05evasion and money laundering.
00:22:09And the Minister of Agriculture also spoke today on his social
00:22:13networks and said that illegal waste disposal in Gospić must be
00:22:16remediated, but warned that because of this case, the entire Lika region
00:22:20and its agricultural products must not be stigmatized.
00:22:23He emphasized that he personally supports and
00:22:27during an official visit to Slovenia, he brought his colleague Lika
00:22:30cheese and potatoes.
00:22:33Well, my wife is from Lika, what did you do to God
00:22:37that I got such a hat at the wedding, just one
00:22:40for fair remembrance. Do you have potatoes? I do. A customer comes
00:22:44and asks, are we close to Gospić? How far are we from
00:22:47Gospić? Citizens say we are 50 km away. "And then they
00:22:50smile and buy. Will you set aside some for our Slovenian minister colleague? Yes, I'm taking it to him now,
00:22:54we'll treat
00:22:55them."
00:22:59What's new in our life today? We have to find
00:23:02a skripovac.
00:23:06Yes, this is run, this is vidrinic, there is one
00:23:09of these, one of these, also from Lika,
00:23:12also, that's right, but which one is it? This is which one?
00:23:15I'm really glad you have all of yours. We especially support small dairies, they do a great
00:23:19job for us. Potato.
00:23:31The best potato, Nikola Tesla grew up on it. Bake it perfectly.
00:23:35na pole ispeći vrhunski.
00:23:56US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent presented the economic D-Day
00:24:00against Iran that President Trump announced. No
00:24:03spectacular move has been made yet. According to him, the
00:24:07goal is to send a final warning to all countries in the world to
00:24:11sever their business ties with Iran or risk having
00:24:14key companies and entities excluded from the
00:24:17financial system based
00:24:20on the dollar. The first such exclusion could happen by the end of this
00:24:24week. One institution that Bessent has so far
00:24:27named is the Iranian Bank Melli, for which he expects
00:24:30its branches around the world to be completely closed.
00:24:34Ivan
00:24:35Hrstić brings the details.
00:24:38D-Day in World War II was actually the first day
00:24:41of Operation Overlord. Economic D-Day marks
00:24:45the beginning of the operation "economic outcasts." In the
00:24:48plural, because it does not refer only to Iran, but to all who
00:24:52do business with
00:24:52Iran.
00:24:59If they do not take action, we will do so unilaterally
00:25:02through treasury authorities. For example,
00:25:06every branch of Bank
00:25:08Melli must be shuttered and
00:25:12dark, and let me be clear, any
00:25:15entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of
00:25:18Iran.
00:25:50to carry out an economic terrorist attack on us,
00:25:54we also have our own tools. We also know how to play the
00:25:56game. This time too, they shouldn't think that
00:26:00it will be defensive and that we will only defend.
00:26:32everything we endure now is a difficulty, and I want to
00:26:36see that outcome, which is very important. It will make it 100 times harder.
00:26:39And now with the income we
00:26:43have, life simply doesn't work out. Well, my
00:26:46child is unhappy with me, saying, "What kind of job is this? You're a taxi driver,
00:26:50you can't earn enough to complete your life."
00:27:04that system. China is already sharpening its messages to Washington.
00:27:21Everything is happening exactly a month before the return meeting between Xi
00:27:25and Trump in Washington. China is actually the real test of the seriousness of these
00:27:29sanctions.
00:27:43Markets are not impressed so far, they have breathed a sigh of relief
00:27:47because military escalation has been averted for some time. The price of oil is even
00:27:51falling, the rise in previous days apparently accounted for,
00:27:54a possible bigger crisis. Iran is actually
00:27:57only to say that Donald Trump has managed, with his eternal
00:28:01zigzag course, that this topic actually at least
00:28:04today plays no significant role, because
00:28:08one can't take the topic seriously anymore, so Donald Trump threatens,
00:28:11Iran doesn't react to it, then
00:28:15more threats are uttered, which ultimately
00:28:17fizzle out. No one at this moment can say with certainty
00:28:21where fuel prices are headed in the long term. Pressure
00:28:25for diesel price increases is likely. Croatia is not currently threatened
00:28:28by rising inflation due to global trends, but rather by a slowdown
00:28:32of the economy, warns economic analyst Josip
00:28:36Tica. What is extremely dangerous for Croatia is that we had much higher
00:28:39inflation than the rest of Europe. In our case, the
00:28:44that there could be a slowdown in economic
00:28:48activity. We are
00:28:51much, much closer
00:28:53to the scenario that is not inflationary. Due to the influence
00:28:57of the global drought and the war in Ukraine, some may
00:29:00try to raise food prices, says Tica, but that's not a big
00:29:04, big increase. It's enough to say, he says, that the
00:29:08global price index at the beginning of the war in Ukraine was
00:29:11160, and now it is
00:29:20threatened on his social media that he could rename Lake
00:29:23Ontario to Lake America, amid new
00:29:27trade tensions between the US and Canada. The Canadian
00:29:31government decided not to respond to such Trump's posts. Trade Minister
00:29:34Dominik Leblanc said that a few
00:29:38months ago they decided to ignore the daily posts
00:29:41of the US President and his ministers on social media.
00:29:55This is a big departure from what is usually
00:29:58the case. Trump posts, the world reacts. Social
00:30:01media have long since ceased to be just a place where politicians
00:30:05communicate with voters; they have become a political stage, a tool for
00:30:09mobilization, but a new battlefield for attention and
00:30:12influence. Donald Trump is one of the most extreme examples on Truth
00:30:15Social. He posted an average of twenty times
00:30:19a day, and on intense days, more than a hundred
00:30:22times. How does such communication change politics,
00:30:25how much does it polarize society, and have social
00:30:29networks become a new diplomatic channel? This story was investigated.
00:30:36War, truce, Hormuz open, then closed,
00:30:39and, still, and. Trump's Truth Social is not just the American
00:30:43president's diary, it's a political workshop that works 24
00:30:46hours a day to discredit the media and
00:30:49political opponents or, with the help of artificial intelligence,
00:30:52to revive his greatest wishes. If we look at
00:30:55him, we can see what digital
00:30:59populism actually looks like.
