00:00:00Bosnia and Herzegovina, all those responsible in the parliamentary assembly and
00:00:03the Council of Ministers due to non-compliance with the law on the public
00:00:07RTV system of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has led to
00:00:10the public service being brought to ruin. They state that
00:00:13BHRT accounts are still blocked, which at this moment means that
00:00:16the broadcast of matches of the football national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the League
00:00:20of Nations is questionable. From Friday, the broadcasting of certain
00:00:24the complete atmosphere that awaits us this shows will also be suspended. They once again call on the relevant institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina to urgently adopt
00:00:28a systemic solution for... the payment distribution of RTV fees
00:00:32and thus enable BNHRT workers normal working conditions.
00:07:10thank you for your attention, good evening.
00:07:58Before the representatives of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, the state
00:08:02of the Union was summarized by the President of the European Commission
00:08:05Fonderland. German Chancellor Merce is record-breakingly unpopular,
00:08:09the costs of the war in Iran are increasing, and this morning there are reports
00:08:12of an attempted attack by Houthis on the holiest place of Islam in Mecca,
00:08:16a new tragedy happened in Gaza. Welcome to
00:08:19Global.
00:08:26The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, delivered her annual
00:08:30State of the European Union address in Strasbourg, warning
00:08:33that the Union is facing its most insecure position
00:08:36ever due to aggressive Russia, economic pressures, and hybrid
00:08:40threats. Key priorities include boosting
00:08:43the European economy, reforming the energy market, and strengthening
00:08:46security protocols modeled on NATO. In the context of global
00:08:50politics, she stated that isolationism is not an option
00:08:53and announced the strengthening of alliances with a proposal for
00:08:56Canada to become the first associated member of the European
00:08:59Union. But above all, dear
00:09:02Mark,
00:09:05Europe and Canada believe
00:09:06in democracy.
00:09:09We believe that power does not belong to the strongest,
00:09:12the richest, the loudest, but to all of us. Democracies
00:09:16can choose with whom they will
00:09:17cooperate.
00:09:22That's why we voluntarily join
00:09:24forces.
00:09:28the alliance for the future. Our goal is to create a common space for
00:09:32prosperity and economic security. We will work on
00:09:35intelligent manufacturing, we will establish a technological
00:09:38alliance, we will integrate defense industrial bases.
00:09:42The Arctic will become our main common project, we will cooperate
00:09:46in the field of energy, critical
00:09:49minerals, batteries, artificial intelligence, quantum
00:09:52technology, cyber and economic security. Our
00:09:55partnership is not directed against anyone, but
00:09:59strives for strength through unity. We want to maximally
00:10:02strengthen our relationship
00:10:04with Canada.
00:10:08Dear Mark, I said that we urgently need to redefine
00:10:11ours.
00:10:14That's why I would like us to open the doors
00:10:17to Canada to become the first associated
00:10:21member of the European Union.
00:10:26The images of Ratko Mladić's funeral in Belgrade last week
00:10:29horrified me.
00:10:50He committed the most cruel crimes against
00:10:53humanity.
00:10:56There is simply no place in the European Union for the glorification of war criminals.
00:11:10All victims of the wars in the former Yugoslavia deserve to be remembered
00:11:13and all their families deserve our
00:11:17compassion.
00:11:21Because that is what we, as a union, stand for. For truth,
00:11:25justice, respect for our
00:11:27values.
00:11:34A lot has been said and little concrete, said
00:11:37foreign policy analyst Mirjana Rakić in our New
00:11:41Day. She used "we
00:11:45need, we will" a lot, but
00:11:48how? In what time, what are the deadlines, new
00:11:52alliances are being formed, an alliance for... electricity,
00:11:55an alliance for artificial
00:11:58intelligence, the most interesting to me seems to be this
00:12:01European security alliance where a kind of counterweight
00:12:04to NATO
00:12:07is being created.
00:12:16German Chancellor Friedrich Merz canceled his trip to the United
00:12:20Nations General Assembly in New York, remaining in Berlin for key party
00:12:23sessions. The decision comes at a time of great pressure after the heavy
00:12:27defeat of the conservatives in Saxony-Anhalt,
00:12:30new polls show that the right-wing Alternative for
00:12:33Germany leads at the national level with
00:12:36a record 30% support, while the CDU
00:12:39CSU bloc fell to 20%. The upcoming
00:12:42state elections in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on
00:12:45September 20th will be a new test for Merz, while there is already
00:12:49speculation in the public about a possible change of leadership
00:12:52in the government.
00:12:55The factual questions, how we move forward. We are an elected government, we
00:12:58are elected for four years, I am elected for four
00:13:02years and I want us to use these four years to lead the
00:13:05country out of this difficult phase.
00:13:07herauszuführen.
00:13:16The American war against Iran has so far cost 38 billion
00:13:19dollars, with estimates that monthly costs will increase by three billion
00:13:23dollars, the Congressional Budget Office announced. The conflict has
00:13:27depleted ammunition supplies and caused an increase in energy
00:13:29prices, which could increase inflation
00:13:33by 0.5% in the first three months of next year. While the White
00:13:37House and the Pentagon claim that the military has enough resources for all
00:13:40objectives, the US House of Representatives has for the third time passed
00:13:43a resolution to end the conflict. The decision comes before the midterm
00:13:47elections, and voters are not happy about the surge in fuel prices
00:13:51caused by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
00:14:01Saudi Arabian air defense intercepted a Houthi drone near
00:14:04Mecca, which is the first attempted attack on this city since
00:14:072017. Due to security risks, the US Embassy
00:14:11warned its citizens to avoid the border area with
00:14:14Yemen. Due to damage to the pipeline to the Red Sea in
00:14:17drone attacks, Saudi Arabia reduced oil supplies
00:14:21to Europe. This caused oil prices to jump, so European companies
00:14:25were forced to seek alternative sources
00:14:27of supply.
00:14:33The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to protect the airspace of our country
00:14:36and preserve its sovereignty from any aggression or violation by all
00:14:40available means, and the sky of Yemen will not be violated, God willing.
00:14:44da.
00:14:51At least 20 Palestinians, including five children, were killed.
00:14:5525 were injured in the collapse of a six-story building in Gaza
00:14:58City. The building, previously damaged in Israeli attacks, served as
00:15:02a shelter for over 60 displaced persons. Rescue
00:15:06teams are trying to reach those trapped under the rubble, but
00:15:10their work is hampered by the lack of heavy machinery. Authorities in Gaza
00:15:13point out that about 8,500 people across
00:15:16the Strip are still listed as
00:15:20call on the international community for urgent intervention and lifting
00:15:23of the blockade. And here we have deployed all
00:15:27our teams, uh that are working on the Brian and
00:15:31rubble removal to support, uh, to
00:15:34support these families. Uh, the situation, as you see, is tragic
00:15:38because we don't have the equipment and machinery that is needed.
00:15:41So there are actually people that are digging with
00:15:45their bare hands. We need to
00:15:49prepare. There are approximately 400
00:15:52buildings at risk of collapse, and we know that these
00:15:55buildings will collapse, especially now with the upcoming
00:15:59winter. We need
00:16:02support most importantly with
00:16:04machinery, equipment, among - also
00:16:08to our colleagues here that don't have oil
00:16:12and spare parts to continue and to work with all the
00:16:15equipment that is still in Gaza. We are running
00:16:19against time. This is a tragedy within a larger
00:16:22tragedy. And it is important
00:16:26that we're all coming together as an international community to
00:16:30prevent and save
00:16:31lives.
00:16:39That's all for this edition of Global. The latest world news is, as always, on
00:16:43our web portals and social networks. Goodbye until tomorrow.
00:20:14Petrovaradin Fortress was supposed to be a new big summer
00:20:18festival in Novi Sad. Instead, at the very beginning,
00:20:22the bazaar part with 84 exhibitors was canceled.
00:20:25The organizers say that daily activities are postponed for the next
00:20:29period, and the Choir says that citizens are consciously boycotting
00:20:32the festival. In the center of Novi Sad, the day
00:20:36passes without much festival atmosphere, only the flags
00:20:40of Java Fest remind us that a new four-day
00:20:43festival is being held at Petrovaradin Fortress.
00:20:46Announced as a big summer event, it was prepared...
00:20:52and just three days later, part of that equipment is already being packed because
00:20:56Java Fest started without the planned daytime bazaar
00:20:59which the organizers canceled just a day earlier for all
00:21:0284 exhibitors. Among other things, the interlocutor says
00:21:06that due to potentially low turnover, we heard this from one of the people
00:21:09who tried to rent space there, he says
00:21:12it's the first time he's seen something like this canceled and it's simply
00:21:15symptomatic that something like this happened. The attendance was not
00:21:18what the organizers expected, which is why Java
00:21:21Fest is compared to Exit, which filled the same
00:21:25space for years, which is the space in front
00:21:28of the city museum, the parking lot of the city museum, everyone knows where that space is,
00:21:32my estimate would be that at its peak, maybe a thousand people were there in the evening,
00:21:35they were aiming for 60,000 people, that's
00:21:39a huge failure. The failure is, the choirs say, that Exit,
00:21:43Tamburica Fest and other festivals are no longer welcome, but
00:21:46only those approved by the authorities. Now suddenly...
00:21:50"the mayor bombastically announces some commercial
00:21:53Java Fest that should approximately replace that
00:21:56Exit without any prior notice, idea,
00:22:00strategy or anything, and it all seems very suspicious and
00:22:03insulting to the people of Novi Sad. It is also insulting, they say, that
00:22:07the organization was entrusted to the company Alnida Doo, a company
00:22:10founded at the end of 2023. With one
00:22:13employee, which had previously received 5 million
00:22:17dinars from the city for organizing the Novi Sad New Year's Festival. They ask
00:22:20why public calls are not issued for such jobs? That's
00:22:24all something that normal cities in Europe do, but it's not happening here,
00:22:28instead we find out overnight that some
00:22:31festival is being organized, like that New Year's one,
00:22:34that this organization is being given to some
00:22:38company that was founded yesterday. The mayor Žarko
00:22:42Mićin also reacted to this, stating that Java
00:22:45Fest is not financed from the city budget. And while questions
00:22:49about this festival abound, the initiative "Louder than Censorship"
00:22:52announces the Black List festival. Intended for
00:22:55artists who claim that due to their views they have been suppressed from
00:22:58part of the local scene. Ina Džakula, N1,
00:23:52And as I announced, our first guest this Wednesday, political commentator Dragan
00:23:55Močević, good day, welcome, thank you for the invitation, it's good to see you. We will mainly
00:23:59talk about the campaign that is in full swing in Bosnia and
00:24:03Herzegovina, but before that, let's refer to the news of the day, Hashim Thaçi,
00:24:06therefore sentenced to 25 years in prison, his
00:24:09associates also, and we immediately hear those divided opinions
00:24:12and reactions, never therefore, uh, court
00:24:16decisions when it comes to crimes in these
00:24:19areas. do not go without those dual messages,
00:24:22and this time too, well, I wouldn't
00:24:26comment because for these 25 years that I have been doing this
00:24:29job, I have never commented on any arrest, any
00:24:33detention, any verdict, whether condemning or
00:24:36acquitting, because the court is what it is and all countries,
00:24:40as the prime minister would say, accepted it willingly or imposed,
00:24:44and there is no debate about that, unfortunately, what leaves a somewhat
00:24:47bitter taste in the mouth is that every time something like that happens,
00:24:51the Balkan region becomes further polarized and divided,
00:24:55and that court, instead of playing the role it had
00:24:59as a court of justice mm and was supposed to bring
00:25:02reconciliation here, unfortunately, it never ends, some
00:25:06trials last unreasonably long, and after that we have
00:25:09this, so it's not worth commenting, I mean, not even on the verdicts
00:25:13of our ordinary courts, let alone these, and
00:25:16I'm simply afraid that every verdict
00:25:19that happens, regardless of whether it's acquitting or convicting,
00:25:23pushes us further apart, further away from the path to the European
00:25:27Union. I was in Kosovo
00:25:30and North Macedonia about 15 days ago, I saw
00:25:33many, many bigger problems than
00:25:37that verdict, uh, a
00:25:40single, how can I say, not to say terrible situation when it comes
00:25:44to uh landfills, when it comes to
00:25:47roads and so on, so I believe that all of us actually
00:25:51should deal with what we can,
00:25:53unfortunately,
00:25:56uh, justice and reconciliation in the Balkans are not close, I'm afraid they won't
00:26:00even be, that every verdict... whether it's acquitting or
00:26:03convicting, will further distance us, yes, to be used in the pre-election
00:26:07campaign, that certainly, yes, uh, is there hope that Bosnia and
00:26:11Herzegovina will emerge from the political crisis it has been in for three
00:26:14years after the October elections, that is the question that everyone
00:26:17asks, and actually it is asked in the sense,
00:26:21is there even any point in going to the elections, if they won't bring any
00:26:24changes? The question is simple and interesting,
00:26:28and I have two answers to that question: logic says
00:26:31that there is no hope because the same people, the same
00:26:35candidates for whom we voted in 2022,
00:26:39are running in the elections. This means we literally have almost
00:26:42no new faces in any, let's say, important
00:26:46individual or other position. Yes, we have new parties but old faces, and
00:26:49or we have people who have changed parties or people
00:26:53who were at one level and now want to be at another level, meaning we have nothing
00:26:57new to hope that something will be different and better. On the other hand,
00:27:01one good thing, I... am one of those people who speaks without
00:27:05mincing words, hope exists, because this time in Bosnia and Herzegovina there
00:27:08are neither Michael Murphy nor Christian Schmidt, who at the time
00:27:12when the parties that won the elections last time,
00:27:16HDZ representing the Croatian, how can I
00:27:19say, electorate, SNSD representing the one from Republika Srpska
00:27:23and the parties of the troika that made some agreement in the federation,
00:27:27even though they were not the winners, someone
00:27:30really, at one point, after a year, when their agreements
00:27:33started to be realized, when they met, they agreed on something,
00:27:37they also had various appointments in the end, so
00:27:40look, consent came from Republika Srpska for Zlatko
00:27:44Lagumdžija to go to New York as ambassador, a lot of compromises
00:27:47were made, a lot of things started, then, in my opinion,
00:27:50Michael Murphy and Christian Schmitt stopped that path, and
00:27:54this time we don't have them and we don't have
00:27:57their strength that they had last time to impose
00:28:01laws that are not in accordance with the Constitution of Bosnia
00:28:05and Herzegovina, now I hope that whoever
00:28:08wins, if they form a majority, will agree relatively quickly, because we already have
00:28:11lost three years, I mean, we lost let's say 23 or
00:28:1533 years, this, I think we
00:28:19fell far behind on that European path, we're really
00:28:22as they say, it's very likely that Montenegro
00:28:25in some next year or two will fulfill all
00:28:29the conditions that have been set for it, some say...
00:28:32by the end of '28 already be part of the European Union, never believe the people from the European Union,
00:28:36because Macedonia also fulfilled all conditions to the extent that it even changed its name to
00:28:40North Macedonia, which caused a great division within
00:28:43the people and a great, but it fulfilled all those conditions and they still didn't
00:28:47accept it, however we persistently
00:28:49forget that the prerequisite for entering the European Union in the last
00:28:5315-20 years was joining NATO every country that
00:28:57enters the European Union that joined in that package from 2000
00:29:01onwards was before... joining the European Union became a member
00:29:04of the NATO alliance, now things have changed, circumstances
00:29:08have changed, in Bosnia and Herzegovina currently there is no consensus
00:29:12at the entity level, i.e. between the authorities, both entities and the state level
00:29:16and three peoples about that, whether to enter, whether to
00:29:19enter or not, we had a situation that in 2009 Nebojša
00:29:23Radmanović as a member of the presidency from the SNSD was the one who
00:29:27signed our uh our
00:29:29request for NATO membership instead of being... "mo then
00:29:33accepted into NATO and within three or four years the European Union, they keep sending us
00:29:37back and then apart from our our
00:29:39internal strife
00:29:43the international community somehow didn't feel then how
00:29:46would I say that they should accept us sooner so that they can line us up somehow
00:29:50on the go, on the other hand we saw some
00:29:53situations that us uh
00:29:56further distance us from each other or polarize, as it recently
00:30:00happened when uh uh" was uh
00:30:04the funeral uh of Mladić in
00:30:06Belgrade where Bosnia and Herzegovina is electrified and divided
00:30:10to to to a madness and we have legal regulations we have
00:30:14everything to the paradox we had during the summer
00:30:18period when the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina went to the World Cup
00:30:22in football and that we had one let's say
00:30:25combination of hysteria euphoria on one side and the other
00:30:28and instead of it being somehow, let's say in the end, it went
00:30:32unnoticed... Bosnia and Herzegovina went to the 2014 World Cup
00:30:35in Brazil, there weren't even 10% of today's
00:30:39tensions, so somehow I have a feeling that technology and
00:30:43social networks and the internet and
00:30:46media that are crazy for clicks, and
00:30:49politicians and we now have many reality politicians on all
00:30:53sides, predominantly they are in Republika Srpska, let's be clear
00:30:5690% of them are there, who use every one of those...
