00:00:18Good afternoon, dear viewers,
00:00:20today's events.
00:00:24Fires reignited
00:00:26in the Trnovo area.
00:00:30Three arrested in the Amadeus operation
00:00:33handed over to the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
00:00:36Vučić called elections in Serbia for October
00:00:3925th.
00:00:45A large forest fire at the Repovica location at the entrance to
00:00:48Konjic, which threatened residential buildings yesterday, was localized
00:00:52during the night and brought under control. However, fires have
00:00:56reignited in the Trnovo municipality area, reports Fedža Kulina.
00:01:01The situation in the Trnovo village of Ostojići
00:01:04is extremely difficult, and today members of
00:01:08voluntary fire departments of Sarajevo, Šuma,
00:01:11local residents, professional firefighters,
00:01:15and utility services are constantly on the ground
00:01:17trying to localize this fire, but it's very
00:01:21difficult, as they say, because it's an underground fire, and
00:01:25when they think they've extinguished the fire in one place,
00:01:28it reignites after some time.
00:01:30People are exhausted,
00:01:33they've been continuously on the ground for days,
00:01:36and this is not the only active fire in the
00:01:40municipality. They are active in Presjenica, in
00:01:44Hojta on Treskavica, where helicopter
00:01:47assistance is expected. We don't even know our names anymore,
00:01:51all of us, my employees, who have been here for
00:01:55six days. In fact, we are already nine days late from Šabići. "We
00:01:58are on the field every day, every day until
00:02:0210 p.m. We are exhausted, but what can we do, we have to endure
00:02:05until it rains, until it happens, we have to endure. Now in Preseni
00:02:09here in Ostojići, we currently have about ten people. Members of
00:02:13Sarajevo Šume have joined us. They were here all day yesterday extinguishing the fire
00:02:16with the locals. We currently have about 10-12 people
00:02:19engaged. We are asking for help from the professional fire
00:02:23brigade. The Civil Protection of the Trnovo municipality
00:02:26sent an official letter to the Ministry of Armed Forces
00:02:30of Bosnia and Herzegovina to engage helicopters for
00:02:33Treskavica mountain, because it is impossible to extinguish the fire from
00:02:37the ground up there, the terrain is inaccessible. Last night,
00:02:40the fire started here, going down towards the village. Luckily, one neighbor has
00:02:44a tractor, so we somehow brought water with the tractor, we extinguished it with shovels,
00:02:47and we managed to contain it. It got cold, it just started at night.
00:02:51Anyway, we're fighting, that's it, thank God,
00:02:55everything is going as it should. We were here until some time last night, some
00:02:59stayed on duty. "Some came at four, then again it's a shift.
00:03:02So, all day and night, you see for yourselves how it is. Members of the
00:03:06Ministry of Internal Affairs are constantly
00:03:09launching ballistic missiles at on the ground, led by the commander of the Trnovo police department,
00:03:12who logistically assist the teams on the ground,
00:03:15who have been here for five days now.
00:03:19They hope that the fire will at least soon be brought under
00:03:22control until it rains.
00:03:26Fedža Kulina, N1.
00:03:35Police officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska
00:03:38handed over three people to the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina yesterday
00:03:42arrested as part of the Amadeus operation. Milutin, Mića Danilović,
00:03:46Aleksandar Nikolić, and Vladimir Grubačić were handed over.
00:03:49They are suspected of a serious criminal offense of organized
00:03:53crime, in connection with unauthorized trade, narcotics,
00:03:56as well as unauthorized trade in weapons, military equipment,
00:04:00and dual-use items. After the handover, the acting prosecutor
00:04:03of the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina should decide on further measures against the
00:04:07suspects.
00:04:12Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić signed a decree dissolving
00:04:15the National Assembly and called snap parliamentary elections for
00:04:19October 25th.
00:04:21I hereby issue: Decree on the dissolution of the National Assembly
00:04:25of the Republic of Serbia. Under one. I dissolve the National
00:04:28Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, elected on December
00:04:3117, 2023.
00:04:34This decree enters into force on the day
00:04:37of its publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic
00:04:40of Serbia.
00:04:50Dear citizens, pursuant to Article 109, paragraph
00:04:536 of the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia, Article 20,
00:04:57paragraph three of the Law on the President of the Republic, and Article
00:05:0059 of the Law on the Election of National Deputies,
00:05:04I hereby adopt a decision on calling
00:05:07elections for national deputies
00:05:10under one, I hereby call elections for national deputies for
00:05:13October 25, 2026.
00:05:17Under two, deadlines for performing electoral activities
00:05:21begin to run from the date of entry into force of this decision. Under
00:05:24three, elections for national deputies shall be conducted by electoral
00:05:28bodies pursuant to the provisions of the Law on the Election of National
00:05:32Deputies. Under four, this decision enters into
00:05:35force on the day of its publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic
00:05:39of Serbia.
00:05:45During the commemoration of the 33rd anniversary of the suffering of Croatian civilians
00:05:49in Grabovica near Mostar, HDZ president Dragan Čović
00:05:52said that Bosnia and Herzegovina will not be able to function as
00:05:56a normal society until it confronts its past. He reminded
00:05:59of Srebrenica and other places of suffering, saying that victims and
00:06:03their families must be treated with
00:06:05respect. I simply empathize
00:06:09with every mother, including the mothers of Srebrenica, even when... there was that
00:06:12crime, that is, genocide, but mothers or
00:06:16women are the biggest victims of every war, they carry the most
00:06:19suffering, and directly, first of all, they generally did not
00:06:22wear uniforms and weapons, and the suffering went through their backs.
00:06:27We must understand that we must understand every mother
00:06:30who grieves for her loved ones, and that's why I said, until we clear up
00:06:34history, I fear that we will be buried in the mud of the past,
00:06:38which is not good. This is the answer to your, this is the answer to your
00:06:41question. Well, I think the law is
00:06:44clear in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the criminal law is very clear about it,
00:06:48and nothing needs to be added there. It is a rule of law, whether
00:06:52we respect it or not, it is very precisely written there what the
00:06:55attitude of each of us is when it comes to
00:06:58crime.
00:07:01Former Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović spoke to N1 about the funeral of convicted war criminal
00:07:04Ratko Mladić in Belgrade and the future of Serbia.
00:07:08I'm starting to wonder if the European Union
00:07:10is serious when it talks about enlargement, especially in
00:07:13the Western Balkans area, as it officially calls it,
00:07:17because if it is serious, then it really needs to insist
00:07:21literally on fulfilling all the criteria that we have fulfilled.
00:07:24Remember how many problems Croatia had because of the criteria
00:07:28of cooperation with the court in The Hague. I really
00:07:30am one of those who believes that Serbia must join the European Union,
00:07:34that it is in the interest of Croatia, in the interest of the European Union. I truly
00:07:38support their path, but the scenes that we have
00:07:41seen these days will not help anyone. They may
00:07:44temporarily act as populism, but I
00:07:47don't see that Serbia will benefit from it in the long run
00:07:51in any way. That is simply
00:07:54denying uh reality,
00:07:57the reality.
00:08:06The conflict between the United States of America and Iran entered a new
00:08:10dangerous phase after the US military destroyed five Iranian oil tankers
00:08:13in the Gulf of Oman, stating that it was a response to
00:08:17missile attacks on their warships. Tehran retaliated by
00:08:22a base in Jordan, used by American forces, but Jordanian
00:08:26anti-aircraft defense shot down 18 out of 20 missiles without
00:08:29human casualties. Due to the escalation of tensions in the Strait
00:08:33of Hormuz and fear of supply disruption, the price of Brent crude
00:08:36oil on the global market jumped to $100 per
00:08:40barrel.
00:08:48with the intention of passing through the prohibited and unsafe Strait of Hormuz, were targeted.
00:08:52The public relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that the heroic naval
00:08:56force of the Corps, in response to the aggression and mischief of the
00:09:00terrorist army of America in attacking 5 Iranian
00:09:04oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, targeted
00:09:06two American vessels and 8
00:09:10oil tankers in this area and inflicted
00:09:13heavy damage on them. Also,
00:09:1710 infringing ships that, provoked and supported
00:09:20by the aggressive terrorist army of America, intended
00:09:24to pass through the prohibited and unsafe Strait of Hormuz
00:09:27were targeted. The Strait
00:09:30of Hormuz is under the strong and powerful surveillance
00:09:34and management of the capable and peaceful naval force
00:09:37of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
00:09:39Corps.
00:09:55The United States of America banned the import of a wide range of Canadian
00:09:59alcoholic beverages, motorcycles, and dairy products, further escalating
00:10:02the trade dispute between the two countries. The measures, which
00:10:06come into effect on September 29, are a response to
00:10:09retaliatory Canadian tariffs imposed after the US previously
00:10:13imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods worth approximately
00:10:1620 billion dollars, while Washington expands the list of tariffs
00:10:20to include cheese, paper, and aluminum, with Trump threatening to
00:10:24raise tariffs on cars from January 1. Representatives of both sides
00:10:27continue talks in an attempt to find a
00:14:25forecast. We are tracking the arrival of a cold front from the
00:14:29direction of northwestern Europe, which brings a major weather change,
00:14:32i.e., the final end to high temperatures.
00:14:36Already around midday, we expect precipitation
00:14:39first in the area of northwestern Bosnia, then it will
00:14:43spread to the central part of the country, and
00:14:46also towards the east, with the south remaining
00:14:50mostly dry, as current forecast models suggest.
00:14:53By the end of the day, the wind will also change its direction from south
00:14:57to north, so we expect an influx of cooler air, which is why
00:15:01tomorrow temperatures will be ten degrees lower
00:15:05in some places compared to today's values, which will still be relatively high,
00:15:08especially in the Herzegovina region up to 36 degrees, where
00:15:12mostly sunny and hot weather continues today. However,
00:15:15Thursday and Friday bring a significant
00:15:19cooling, but also locally more abundant
00:15:22precipitation, given that locally, during
00:15:25Thursday and Friday, there may be more intense downpours accompanied by
00:15:28strong thunderstorms and hail, as well as stormy winds.
00:15:32That's all for the news summary, thank you for your attention,
00:15:34goodbye.
00:15:45Watch the scene with Adrijana Gavrić,
00:15:49every workday on
00:15:50N1,
00:15:55watch Novi dan with Minela Jašar.
00:15:58Tomorrow from
00:15:598 a.m.
00:16:24The election campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina has begun, and with it
00:16:27promises, party rallies, political messages, accusations of
00:16:31misuse of public resources, premature campaigning, vote
00:16:35buying, and citizens will elect authorities on October 4th.
00:16:38Political parties have a few more weeks to convince them why they
00:16:42should vote for them. What are politicians offering us, how realistic are their
00:16:45promises, how much is the campaign again based on fear,
00:16:48divisions, national tensions? Where does the regular work of the government end,
00:16:52and the election campaign begin, and what does the current course of the campaign tell
00:16:56us about that? I'm talking to journalist
00:16:59Elvir Padalović.
00:17:10the campaign officially started a few days ago. Now, when
00:17:14we look at what the parties have offered citizens so far, what
00:17:17would actually be the main message of this campaign?
00:17:21Well, the election campaign officially started on
00:17:24September 4th, right? However, it has been going on, so
00:17:28we live in a sort of permanent election
00:17:31campaign. This date merely formalized their
00:17:35entry into the field, the date. So that the
00:17:38election law is respected. However, we saw during almost
00:17:42the entire year 2026
00:17:46that they were all on the ground, with their
00:17:49sleeves rolled up from white shirts, so because of the heat,
00:17:53they walked through all possible
00:17:55municipalities, uh, doing the things
00:17:58that are usually done in a campaign, but it was supposedly not
00:18:02a campaign. So we witnessed their
00:18:05permanent appearances on social media,
00:18:08on TV shows,
00:18:11in mosaic shows, in, I don't know,
00:18:14Sunday afternoons. So they were omnipresent throughout this
00:18:18year, so nothing new has happened since this
00:18:21September 4th. That beginning,
00:18:25that official beginning of the election campaign was
00:18:28quite boring, uninteresting. These five or six
00:18:32days of the election campaign, purely related to
00:18:36uh, to the elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina, are quite
00:18:39quite boring. I don't see any interesting
00:18:42messages, no programs, no, no what is offered
00:18:46to voters, to voters. You said somewhere
00:18:49in the introduction, they will have three more weeks to convince
00:18:53someone. I wouldn't say they want to convince anyone. I think
00:18:57they are addressing their voters who already,
00:19:00who already know who they will vote for. So that is one, one characteristic
00:19:03of our politicians, so they exclusively address
00:19:08uh, on the ground where they are safe, so their
00:19:11voters, their constituents. I don't see
00:19:15them trying at all to invite
00:19:18abstainers, or God forbid, to convince
00:19:21someone from another political spectrum, so to speak, to
00:19:25vote for them. So here, everyone addresses
00:19:29their own, their own voters. So that's, that's for me, somehow,
00:19:32that's it, summarizing everything we've seen
00:19:35since that fourth of September. And now citizens are
00:19:39again being promised higher salaries, pensions, new jobs.
00:19:43Transparency International Bosnia and Herzegovina warns of more than
00:19:462,200 potential cases of abuse
00:19:50of vote buying. There is also talk of 68
00:19:53million one-time payments since
00:19:56the announcement of the elections. Where is the line
00:19:59now between some legitimate help to citizens and indirect
00:20:03vote buying? Can a citizen who, before the elections,
00:20:06receives a one-time payment, really view that money
00:20:10as a social measure and not as a political
00:20:12message? Well, first of all, it's not a social
00:20:15measure at all. Social measures are something that is done systematically. So
00:20:19this is not a systemic solution, this is ad hoc,
00:20:22one-time. So the intention is very clear, so
00:20:26uh, it is about uh,
00:20:29buying voters in a way, so
00:20:31their co-opting, as they
00:20:35say, this helping
00:20:38before the elections. We saw here in Banja Luka,
00:20:41in Republika Srpska, there are one-time payments to pensioners,
00:20:45pensions are higher than these August pensions they recently received.
00:20:49Then, mm... children from elementary schools, high
00:20:52schools, students, so everyone receives some one-time
00:20:55aid. It seems to me that the Central Election Commission on several
00:20:58occasions uh, whether it applied
00:21:01to that one-time aid now, I'm not sure, but somehow that
00:21:05attitude is that, uh, if, if it's already in
00:21:09the budget, in Republika Srpska it was done by a budget
00:21:12rebalance, so it went through some
00:21:15certain procedure, so they won't deal with it, even though it's
00:21:19obvious what it's
00:21:22about. So, here these days we have a break
00:21:25due to high temperatures, a break in elementary schools.
00:21:29Our teachers from early morning are doing what?
00:21:32They are collecting data,
00:21:36so from parents about the method
00:21:39of payment of one-time aid
00:21:42to schools, or to students. So here we
00:21:45are, we are in that break, so this is an excellent example of how
00:21:49it works. The break started on that
00:21:53September 4th, and lo and behold, just on the day when
00:21:56the official election campaign begins, our teachers
00:21:59are preparing for the official start, which will begin
00:22:03on the 10th, right? Then they will probably start
00:22:06collecting data from parents. So that's all,
00:22:10uh, there is no such boundary. We saw
00:22:12what politicians did over
00:22:16the summer. So they reduced all of that to their regular
00:22:19party activities. So suddenly there were meetings
00:22:23of the municipal board with 500, 600 people.
00:22:26So I don't see any boundary at all between
00:22:29before the start of the election campaign and this and this
00:22:33pre-election period and and this period before
00:22:37the election campaign. I mean, how should I say, I myself am confused.
00:22:40So I, I don't really know how the voters
00:22:44who, who supposedly had to adapt to new conditions
00:22:48from September 4th. That we are in an election campaign, but
00:22:52actually it's been going on, almost, I think it's been going on since last year, since
00:22:56these snap presidential elections for the president of Republika Srpska. So
00:23:00that's, and generally, I think we are
00:23:03non-stop in some kind of campaign, campaign, yes.
00:23:06The Central Election Commission has already punished political
00:23:09entities for this premature campaign,
00:23:12but also for the misuse of public resources. Now, are the penalties strong
00:23:16enough to stop such practices or
00:23:19simply are they calculated into the campaign
00:23:22costs for political actors?
00:23:25I think they somehow have, every, every
00:23:28appearance has somewhere that budget reserve item
00:23:32for such situations, like "penalties" in brackets,
00:23:36so those are miserable penalties for them, truly.
00:23:39I mean, even though they were, I don't know, two or three times
00:23:43those penalties were around 20 thousand marks,
00:23:46individual, this, I think that means nothing to them.
00:23:49So they, they calculated all of that in, and I think
00:23:52it paid off many times over, that those
00:23:55trips to the field and whatever. The problem here
00:23:59is that the larger political parties have
00:24:03greater opportunities, they have more money,
00:24:05of course. They can calculate with those
00:24:09things. However, the problem arises when the Central
00:24:12Election Commission approaches, and of course it
00:24:15should approach all political entities equally, that's without
00:24:19question, but to punish, I don't know, Facebook
00:24:23posts of some small political
00:24:26entities, to somehow circumvent all
00:24:28possible potential, all some
00:24:32possible potential abuses of public
00:24:36funds. So that, I think something
00:24:40is not set up correctly there,
00:24:42uh, I mean, even today, I think the CEC
00:24:46continuously receives those
00:24:49reports. that happened a few days ago. So,
00:24:52we saw, there are also cases, so that
00:24:55entities are punished for those past elections.
00:24:59So it's all somehow, somehow strange,
00:25:02especially this, this, this year is quite
00:25:05politically strange. I don't
00:25:08see any that this election campaign, well, it's
00:25:12officially running, but it's like it never even stopped.
00:25:16Yes, how much will national tensions again be used
00:25:19as the most effective means of mobilizing voters? Who
00:25:23has the biggest interest in the campaign being conducted in that
00:25:26way? Yes. Well, it's interesting to me that the
00:25:29CEC, uh, issued an appeal,
00:25:33an appeal to all political entities, uh, regarding
00:25:36the use of hate speech. I think that's good. So, hate speech should
00:25:39not, should not
00:25:42be there. So that's something that is, uh, absolutely
00:25:46unacceptable. So I think that right now, uh...
00:25:51no, I don't see any of that. Of course, this situation that is
00:25:55happening regarding the funeral of Ratko Mladić,
00:25:58all of that is somehow integrated into
00:26:02the whole election environment. But it seems
00:26:05to me that political entities, at least on the ground when it comes
00:26:08to, when it comes to, uh,
00:26:12when it comes to the political campaign, so there
00:26:15are no national mutual
00:26:18attacks, what
00:26:22we see is that they are on the ground, how should I say, they are engaged
00:26:25in usual, usual
00:26:28issues, these slogans, paroles that
00:26:32they use, that is something usual, nothing
00:26:35new, always boring, but somehow
00:26:38always, well, always that certain, how should I say,
00:26:41potential possibility for raising
00:26:45tensions always exists, so that is, that is something that is proven, that
00:26:49has been working for 30 years, that
00:26:52uh, that narrative of fear is always present,
00:26:55of being threatened, by one another, by others, by the first, third, and so on, so that is something that is
00:26:59always present. I hope that won't happen, that people
00:27:03are a little smarter after all
00:27:06and will choose, well, let's hope, based on some political
00:27:09program, I haven't seen many of those political programs, uh,
00:27:13I think people still, how should I say, go for very cheap,
00:27:17simple slogans, because how,
00:27:21how should I say, if you don't have, if it's permanent, if
00:27:25politicians are permanently on the ground, then you virtually aren't interested
00:27:29in any programs, because we practically need from that fourth of September'.
00:27:32we have as a starting position, so everyone from that
00:27:36September 4th starts from the same, from the same starting
00:27:39point, it doesn't happen, so, we saw, everyone
00:27:42was out, everyone was doing something and well,
00:27:46lo and behold, in that election year, yes, Elvira,
00:27:50for the end, for the first time citizens will have biometric identification, ballot
00:27:54scanners, now can this new technology really
00:27:58increase trust in the election process or will, without citizens' trust,
00:28:01doubts about the results continue?
00:28:05Well, I think that
00:28:08all data indicate that this should
00:28:10eliminate the most basic, how should I say, electoral
00:28:13manipulations, so I truly hope that electoral technologies
00:28:17will help in the process so that
00:28:21elections are fair, transparent, as much as possible within
00:28:24Bosnia and Herzegovina, that these, so to speak,
00:28:28main obstacles or their main mechanisms for stealing
00:28:32votes will be eliminated and that we will have somewhat
00:28:35fairer elections compared to the previous ones, of course,
00:28:39I think voters should have been informed earlier about the voting
00:28:42process, uh, how to approach it, so I think
00:28:46the campaign started late,
00:28:50uh, but it's not difficult at all,
00:28:54it's enough to watch two or three videos and it will be
00:28:58very, very simple, so,
00:29:00technologies are not an obstacle.
00:29:02So, technologies should help to make that process as efficient as possible, I
