00:00:19Good afternoon, you are watching N1 info
00:00:21event
00:00:26of the day. General elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina have begun, polling stations are open, citizens
00:00:29of Novo Vlasti. are voting for the first time with the help of new
00:00:31technologies.
00:00:34The beginning of the election day did not go without difficulties in
00:00:38several locations, the beginning of voting was postponed due to technical
00:00:41problems with devices for scanning ballots.
00:00:44The German Chancellor is on an unannounced
00:00:47visit to Kyiv, promising
00:00:50additional aid
00:00:51to Ukraine.
00:00:56Bosnia and Herzegovina today elects a new government for the next four years. Polling
00:01:00stations across the country opened at 7 o'clock, and citizens will vote until 7 PM
00:01:04for members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, representatives in the state and
00:01:08federal parliament, the president
00:01:11because it's um also a and vice presidents of the Republika Srpska, deputies in the National Assembly
00:01:13of the Republika Srpska and representatives in cantonal assemblies. More than
00:01:173.4 million voters are registered in the central voter list,
00:01:21while among the 7028 certified candidates, a total of 518 mandate
00:01:25holders are elected. 5,562
00:01:28polling stations were formed, these are the first elections
00:01:32in Bosnia and Herzegovina that are conducted with the use of biometric
00:01:35voter identification, ballot scanners, as well as with
00:01:39rapid transmission of election results. According to the information
00:01:42collected so far, municipal and city election commissions accredited
00:01:46about 25,000 observers of political
00:01:48entities, and it is estimated that a total of about
00:01:5230,000
00:01:53observers will monitor the elections.
00:01:56By 11 AM, 413,000 voters had cast their ballots in the general elections
00:02:00in Bosnia and Herzegovina, announced the president of the Central Election Commission
00:02:03of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jovan Kalaba. At the same time, problems
00:02:07with new election technologies were recorded at some polling stations,
00:02:10due to which some polling stations had to be temporarily closed after
00:02:14opening. Also, voter verification takes an average of
00:02:1837-35 seconds from search to
00:02:21printing the confirmation, in continuous communication
00:02:25with the election administration in the field. There was
00:02:29a problem with the operation of the device for identification of a small number of
00:02:31voters, mainly with newly issued ID cards, and for
00:02:35that problem we sent clear instructions to the field. We had
00:02:39reports from voters that the candidate lists given to voters
00:02:43Germany has during voting were already marked by the previous voter. We instructed
00:02:46that the voter must receive candidate lists without
00:02:50markings, that any markings must be removed by erasing them by
00:02:53the polling committee, these are the candidate lists that are given
00:02:57with the ballot papers. According to
00:03:00our information,
00:03:03overview, given most of the problems were in Bijeljina, and according to the last
00:03:06information, the situation there has stabilized,
00:03:10we have only one polling station that was not open until
00:03:1311
00:03:14o'clock.
00:03:17According to information from the operational headquarters of the
00:03:21General Elections 2026, with
00:03:24its headquarters in the Directorate for the Coordination of Police Bodies of Bosnia and
00:03:27Herzegovina, two incidents were recorded by 11 AM in Tuzla
00:03:31and Banovići, and police officers took the necessary
00:03:35actions. Also, according to information received from
00:03:38the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republika Srpska regarding
00:03:42the conduct of the election process, by 11 AM they had received two reports
00:03:45of disturbances of public order and peace; in one case, a misdemeanor order was issued,
00:03:49in the other, there was no basis for action. The Central
00:03:52Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina once again calls on all citizens with
00:03:56the right to vote to go to the polling stations, exercise their
00:04:00democratic right to vote, but we also ask them for patience and
00:04:04cooperation with the polling committees. We demand from
00:04:07the election administration to strictly adhere to legal procedures
00:04:11and established instructions for
00:04:12work.
00:04:16As for problems with the functioning of devices, these can
00:04:20be determined after forensic analysis which will be done after
00:04:23the elections. We had the same situation in the test elections where we
00:04:28on the street, it's really the state's jurisdiction had certain problems with the device. and a subsequent
00:04:30report determined that it was a matter of improper handling
00:04:34of the device, it often happened that devices, that
00:04:38paper was inserted into the scanner one after another without respecting
00:04:41the red light by which the scanner signals that it is still
00:04:45processing one ballot and another ballot is added, so
00:04:48that type of forensic analysis will be done. As for the way of solving these
00:04:52problems during today, the procedures we prescribed
00:04:56are respected, so there is a call center where problems
00:05:00are reported, we have operators, we have technical
00:05:04cases suspected of support, we have problems with the call center which is often
00:05:06busy, that's why we are all in
00:05:10constant communication with election commissions
00:05:13and we are trying to help faster,
00:05:17as I said, there is technical support, if that is not
00:05:20possible, there is a replacement of devices, so
00:05:24these procedures are respected, and as for the procedure
00:05:27in case it is not possible to enable
00:05:30further scanning, i.e., the functioning of that device, the Central
00:05:34Election Commission makes a decision on a case-by-case basis, no
00:05:37election commission at this moment has a message from the Central
00:05:41Election Commission that the scanner will not be used, i.e., that ballots
00:05:45will be counted manually, problems were
00:05:47approximately
00:05:50uh occurring in a way that perhaps my colleague
00:05:53Evanja already explained in one way, so some
00:05:56devices, some by their uh, by their
00:06:00structure, by the way they were supposed to be put into
00:06:03function, some operators simply were not
00:06:07able to put them into function, in some
00:06:10cases there was also a lack of training for operators,
00:06:13meaning that technical staff who were supposed to operate these
00:06:17devices and put them into function to assist members of polling committees,
00:06:20that process lasted almost all night
00:06:23until some morning hours and unfortunately during the opening
00:06:27of polling stations in Bijeljina we did not manage to open
00:06:30polling stations in over 30
00:06:33locations, then operators, technical staff, smartmatic staff
00:06:37came into play again and in coordination with
00:06:41the Central Election Commission we managed, practically by the beginning
00:06:44of the conference, to eliminate all these problems, of course
00:06:47with a big
00:06:50delay. The "Pod Lupom" Coalition announced that by 9:30 AM, a total of
00:06:5446 serious violations of election rules had been recorded
00:06:57in the general elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The initial
00:07:01findings of their observers show that just over half of
00:07:05the polling stations opened exactly at 7 AM, while at almost
00:07:09all observed polling stations, new election
00:07:12technologies were put into operation before opening. The coalition engaged a total of 888
00:07:16civic non-partisan observers who monitor
00:07:19the entire election
00:07:21process.
00:07:24As for critical situations, as we call them, i.e., serious violations
00:07:28of election rules and procedures. We recorded
00:07:3046 of them. Most of them refer to the prohibition of
00:07:34access for observers, at polling
00:07:37stations, problems with election material in
00:07:41various, well, this uh various variants, shortage,
00:07:44surplus, no envelopes, protective foils or similar,
00:07:48reading names, so that's nine cases, reading voters' names
00:07:52aloud, uh, no, there are no members of polling
00:07:55committees, so other types of irregularities, seven cases, that new
00:07:59election technology is working for some reason at six polling stations, at
00:08:03the display of the list of members of polling committees, five, critical situations, violated
00:08:07voting secrecy, three critical situations and other irregularities
00:08:10in the voting process, one critical. situation by 9 AM, additional
00:08:15that the "Pod Lupom" coalition monitors the implementation
00:08:19of new technologies through a special group of questions related to this,
00:08:22the first information from the field shows that before
00:08:25the opening of polling stations, new election
00:08:28technologies were put into function at even
00:08:3199.1%
00:08:34of the observed polling stations, so, if we look at the broader
00:08:37picture, it couldn't have started
00:08:40better.
00:08:43By 11 AM, in four Sarajevo municipalities, a total of
00:08:4727,576
00:08:50citizens had turned out to vote, which represents
00:08:539.87% of voters. The lowest turnout was recorded in the Old Town municipality where
00:08:578.86% of voters had cast their ballots.
00:09:00In the center, 9.66% of citizens had exercised their right to vote by 11 AM,
00:09:04while in Novo Sarajevo, 9.72%
00:09:07of the votes were cast.
00:09:10The highest turnout is in the Novi Grad municipality, where by 11
00:09:13AM, 10.37% of voters had voted.
00:09:16If we want changes for the better, the
00:09:20more of us come out, the better. If those who have not
00:09:24justified it so far, they have their voters,
00:09:28unfortunately that's how it is, and uh, we who want
00:09:31changes, should go out, if we don't go out, it will be the same
00:09:35for us, and then another four years
00:09:38as it was, and that's how it is, voting is important, it's
00:09:42"a fundamental civic duty, isn't it? An obligation,
00:09:44we always hope for the better, so
00:09:48this time too we hope, I think
00:09:50it's important that everyone comes out, that there's a massive turnout at the elections,
00:09:54we'll see, I just hope for improvement, we must hope that
00:09:58things will get better for us, I'm not really a big optimist, but we have to
00:10:02hope, in any case I think we should go out, so I expect changes,
00:10:06but I'm afraid that few will come out because people have
00:10:09lost confidence, lost hope and so
00:10:13on, especially older people, everyone should come out,
00:10:16grandmothers, grandmas, grandpas, everyone
00:10:19should vote for our children, for our
00:10:23young people, so that young people lead us,
00:10:26not old people like me,
00:10:28The N1 team also spoke with Mostar residents about what they expect
00:10:32after the closing of polling stations, citizens' answers range from complete
00:10:35disappointment and conviction that nothing will change, to hope that
00:10:39the elections could still bring a better, more secure
00:10:43future. After the elections, we just
00:10:45need to know what, will it change, or not, we hope
00:10:49for the better, but dear me, it is what
00:10:52it is. And I expect
00:10:55nothing, a slightly worse, much worse situation than it has been so far,
00:10:59unfortunately that's how it is, we'll wait for new elections,
00:11:02that's it, we hope, we hope it gets
00:11:05better for us, that something starts,
00:11:09that people get
00:11:12happy about something and so on, it's not important anymore and that sheep, how much in
00:11:16some security,
00:11:19political security, that people would be
00:11:21calm, that they would not be afraid of some
00:11:25conflict, that intolerance among people would stop,
00:11:29there is no, no reason whatsoever, all
00:11:32the best, better than it has been until now, well, we hope,
00:11:36we hope, it should be, right, we wouldn't
00:11:39go out if we didn't hope.
00:11:43Polling stations in Banja Luka opened at 7 AM. Since the opening,
00:11:46a large number of citizens coming to vote has been recorded. The atmosphere at the polling stations is
00:11:50calm, the election process is proceeding without visible tensions. Members of the polling committees
00:11:54guide citizens through the procedure, while special attention
00:11:57is also paid to the implementation of new
00:11:59election technologies. There were delays this morning
00:12:02at several, it seems, nine polling
00:12:06stations, regarding the technical aspect and
00:12:09several places, where the polling committee did not manage
00:12:13to count all received ballots
00:12:16by 7 AM, given that the ballots are now
00:12:19somewhat stiffer paper compared
00:12:22to previous elections. So that counting process
00:12:26was somewhat slower, all
00:12:28in all, so far we have not had any reported
00:12:32cases of any disturbance of public
00:12:36order and peace, we have not had problems at polling stations,
00:12:3925 mobile teams went to the field this morning,
00:12:43where 1166 voters will vote
00:12:46through mobile teams.
00:12:49With me, from the first
00:12:52minute, this,
00:12:55we had problems with the scanner, so we fixed that,
00:12:58and then later, this reader, this personal
00:13:01ID card, this, but we fixed it, so, uh,
00:13:05it's important that people who know this
00:13:08type, well, these operators, that they can fix it, and we who
00:13:12are, well, someone who has worked with a copier
00:13:16or a scanner, it's very easy to, uh,
00:13:20to find a solution, you know, because everything is written in Serbian, it's very simple when
00:13:24it's opened. what it is, what it's about, and it
00:13:39everyone to do their
00:13:41job,
00:13:43and what has been done so far is not bad, but
00:13:47it can probably be better, changes and nothing
00:13:50more, just changes, we mostly always went
00:13:53to the polls. And I believe that today, we will
00:13:57fulfill our civic duty, and what we are
00:14:00voting for, we probably think and want them to do
00:14:04their best, to make some changes, to make things a little better,
00:14:08this was awful until now, so
00:14:11I expect maybe some change, something a little better for us to
00:14:14start, generally and
00:14:17all 138 polling
00:14:20stations in the Brčko District were opened on time, and... two
00:14:23mobile teams are active, the election process is proceeding with minor technical difficulties,
00:14:27mainly due to new election technologies. I expect that
00:14:30we will give politicians the same salary so that
00:14:34they can argue, maybe it will be better for us too, maybe, maybe, maybe,
00:14:37maybe, I expect some changes for the better, we expect
00:14:41nothing, so all the faces are the same, the same people, it will only
00:14:45get worse, especially Brčko District,
00:14:48I expect something better than it has been so far,
00:14:50and I hope, I hope for better
00:14:54changes.
00:14:57Most polling stations in the Tuzla area opened on time this morning, voters have
00:15:00a total of 154 regular polling
00:15:03stations available, as well as one polling station for voting in absentia. Voting
00:15:07takes place at 52 locations, for the needs of the election process,
00:15:11nine mobile teams are also engaged. I expect
00:15:14big changes because of that little paper we
00:15:17get with a picture, actually they get it. It's known
00:15:21who votes, I'm really glad that the dead no longer
00:15:24vote. What do you believe, all these old people should be
00:15:27removed, we've been waiting for something
00:15:31better for 30-something years, this is God help us, so I expect things to move
00:15:35forward a bit for the better, I think.
00:15:37"It's time, surely we have realized in the past four
00:15:41years what is better for us,
00:15:44so let's leave it at that. What
00:15:47do I expect, what can I
00:15:50tell you, I've been voting and voting and voting and voting, here
00:15:54for how long, nothing special has ever been done,
00:15:57nothing special has been done, I don't know what to tell you, what
00:16:01I expect, it's
00:16:03the same.
00:16:05Election day in Bihać is proceeding." Without major problems, all polling stations are
00:16:09operational, as are four mobile teams. At several polling stations, minor delays
00:16:13in opening the polling stations were recorded. According to preliminary
00:16:16data, over 4,000 citizens had voted in Bihać by 11 AM.
00:16:20I perform my civic duty, but I don't
00:16:23hope for anything, I don't hope. Everyone should perform their
00:16:27civic duty, especially I appeal to the youth.
00:16:30The youth are the ones who can do something for this
00:16:34country, to make things better for us. Tomorrow, it was
00:16:37good, this, it's just that
00:16:41they were a bit late, that annoys me, not all seven hours as we said, so we
00:16:44pensioners came, there were more of us, we had to wait a bit,
00:16:48but it's good and it's a bit harder to vote, you have to follow
00:16:51the colors, really now everything is going great, that
00:16:55electronic I hope that the best ones who
00:16:58deserved it will get the votes, I especially hope
00:17:02that more women will pass, so I congratulate them all
00:17:17an unannounced visit to Kyiv together with directors of German defense
00:17:21companies to promise additional military aid to Ukraine.
00:17:25Merz stated upon arrival that if Russia is not stopped, the Russian war
00:17:29machine will sooner or later turn against Europe.
00:17:32The German Chancellor also called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to
00:17:36end the senseless war. That they must stop the barbaric attacks on
00:17:40Ukrainian citizens. Moscow announced that it would intensify attacks
00:17:43on Kyiv. A Russian drone this morning again hit the northern bridge over the Dnieper
00:17:47River in Kyiv, and for now there are no reports of any
00:17:50casualties. In the last few days, bridges over
00:17:54the Dnieper in Kyiv have been a constant target of Russian
00:17:57attacks.
00:18:00Catalonia was hit by a strong storm accompanied by heavy rainfall which left behind
00:18:04flooded streets, houses, damaged roads.
00:18:07At least two people died, and one person is missing,
00:18:11authorities announced. Firefighters had to
00:18:14rescue drivers trapped in cars. The storm temporarily
00:18:18disrupted air traffic in Barcelona as well as rail traffic in
00:18:22the region, according to Spanish
00:18:24media.
00:18:29The Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team will play a match tomorrow
00:18:32in the fourth round of the Nations League, and the guests at Bilino Polje in Zenica will be
00:18:36the Polish national team. This will be the Dragons' fourth match in 11
00:18:40days, and Sergej Barbarez says that fatigue is felt in the team, although at
00:18:43the highest level every national team has the same problems.
00:18:47Edin Džeko left the national team and that is the biggest handicap for the Dragons,
00:18:51while Robert Lewandowski will not play in Poland.
00:18:54The coach believes that the chances for victory are good, that Bosnia and
00:18:57Herzegovina can get three new important
00:19:00points.
00:19:03As for this upcoming match, I think we all know how to read the table and
00:19:06we all know. what could happen with
00:19:09every, with every result and
00:19:12this but that we will leave for after
00:19:16the match, of course our goal is to try to win
00:19:19this match mm we have a little experience from a few days ago
00:19:23with the Polish national team and we will try then
00:19:26to go for those three
00:19:57critical infrastructure, Canada, marriage of dreams with
00:20:01the European Union, France, difficult life
00:20:04without housekeepers in Paris. Hello. Sabotage of
00:20:19power lines, arson at railway switches,
00:20:23suspicious drones above military bases. Germany has
00:20:26been facing a sharp
00:20:29increase in attacks on critical infrastructure in recent months.
00:20:33Since the beginning of this year, authorities have recorded
00:20:37more than 160
00:20:41sabotage. How to protect and how to
00:20:45protect critical infrastructure and who will
00:20:48ultimately pay for all of this.
00:20:51Protection of critical infrastructure,
00:20:54power lines, water pipes, transport networks,
00:20:56hospitals, has become one of the national security
00:21:00priorities. The system has weaknesses, sabotage is increasing.
00:21:04Germany has therefore decided not to wait any longer, but
00:21:08to introduce an active defense strategy. But how to protect
00:21:11all of this from attacks?
00:21:15This drone did not pass. A laser controlled by artificial
00:21:18intelligence shot it down during testing in Lower Saxony
00:21:22in northern Germany. The device that shot it down
00:21:25was produced by the startup Inlip from
00:21:28Hanover. Sensors and radar detect
00:21:31the drone, then a high-speed light beam targets it,
00:21:35shooting it down in a few seconds. The range is even
00:21:383 km. The company claims that the system is cost-effective
00:21:42because it does not need ammunition.
00:21:45Basically, it's like this, that with our products, with our technology, we already have to strike a chord,
00:21:48one could say, and we cover a large demand in both the civilian and military
00:21:51sectors. For this reason, the interest in investments but also in the products is very
00:21:54high. In the future, such lasers could
00:21:58be found near airports, ports and substations, where they would
00:22:01deter enemy drones. Substations and high-voltage
00:22:05power lines are the lifeblood of the electricity
00:22:09grid. Operators such as 50 Hertz
00:22:12have now secured many of them with fences,
00:22:16and video surveillance has been further enhanced.
00:22:19Of course, there is the possibility to physically
00:22:23protect, whereby physical protection as such
00:22:26is of course limited, so you cannot now
00:22:28encase every mast of an
00:22:30overhead line or
00:22:33build a fence around it, that is
00:22:37neither economical nor useful, but of course
00:22:40there is a possibility.
00:22:43I am of the opinion that the customers who are affected in the regions
00:22:47must pay for all of this, but that a part of it is certainly
00:23:20also a national, societal task.
00:23:23The German Association for Energy and Water Management is calling for
00:23:27restrictions on transparency to reduce the risk of
00:23:30attacks.
00:23:33373 substations in its very
00:23:37high-voltage network, most of them are located in North Rhine-Westphalia and in the west
00:23:41of the country. "For example,
00:23:44we do not want to present ourselves on a silver platter, so the
00:23:47whole data and publication obligations that we have in
00:23:51Germany lead to the fact that everyone can
00:23:53choose on the internet where the corresponding substations
00:23:57are located, where the power plants are located and so
00:24:00on. Drone
00:24:04can be an effective measure to
00:24:06protect
00:24:14infrastructure. is for mass production of laser
00:24:16defense because it expects an increase
00:24:20in demand. For some, it's a dream marriage,
00:24:24and for others, a totally radical
00:24:27idea that will never come to
00:24:31fruition anyway. It's about
00:24:35Canada and its possible associate membership in the club
00:24:38of 27. What at first glance sounds like
00:24:42political, science fiction is not really
00:24:46an impossible mission in reality.
00:24:50See why. A lot of
00:24:52kind words have been exchanged in recent months between
00:24:56Canadian and European officials. There is talk of
00:24:59joining forces. If there would be willingness on
00:25:02the part of Canada to join the European Union and if then
00:25:06that was reciprocated by the European Union, then I
00:25:10think it would be a marriage made in heaven. This fall, we will
00:25:14begin intense discussions with the European
00:25:17Union, the world's second largest economy.
00:25:28I do suspect however that Canada wouldn't take as
00:25:31long as other countries in the waiting room have, for obvious
00:25:34reasons, Canada's values are closely aligned to the European
00:25:38Union in terms of its structures internally in the
00:25:42country.
00:25:44What would Canada gain by joining the European
00:25:47Union?
00:25:50argue that it gives Canada better access to the European
00:25:53market, so it would help with the strategy that the Canadian government has
00:25:57been pursuing to diversify
00:26:00Canadian trade.
00:26:06And what would the European Union gain by Canada
00:26:09joining? Canada would almost certainly be what
00:26:12we call a net contributor member state in the European Union, so these are
00:26:16countries that pay more into the EU budget uh than they
00:26:20receive financially in terms of EU funding.
00:26:23Canada has natural resources, energy, and
00:26:26critical minerals important for high-tech and
00:26:30defense industries. This would help Europe reduce its dependence on
00:26:33China. Canada is rapidly developing its dedicated
00:26:36industry and artificial intelligence.
00:26:40Canada and the European Union already have multi-layered relationships.
00:26:43They also signed a free trade agreement known as
00:26:47CETA.
00:26:49But joining the European Union is
00:26:51not simple.
00:26:56EU member if it is a European country, so there's that. Um, and
00:27:00then I guess integration. means
00:27:03that Canada then has access and a say over the EU's
00:27:06budget um and it adds its weight in
00:27:10terms of voting power
00:27:13reasonably big country population-wise as well. Nevertheless,
00:27:17Mark Carney acts as a man in a hurry to
00:27:20further deepen relations with the European
00:27:23Union.
00:27:25Paris, the eternal city of light, love, and
00:27:28beauty, but also a metropolis that has its dark
00:27:32side. For some time now, a humanitarian
00:27:36disaster has been unfolding on the streets of Paris. Thousands of people are living
00:27:39literally on the street, without a roof over their heads, without
00:27:42protection from the cold winter and summer
00:27:45heat. Particularly alarming
00:27:48is the fact that among them are more and more women and
00:27:51children. Adam has been living on the street since July.
00:27:55Six years ago, he and his mother came to Paris from North Africa.
00:27:58The last accommodation they had was, according to them,
00:29:46another camp is located, it has existed intermittently for more than
00:29:5010 years, the authorities tolerate this tent
00:29:53camp, hundreds of men live here in extremely difficult
00:29:57conditions.
00:30:02like Feridhof, like a ditch, excuse me, sometimes it's like
00:30:06a ditch, that's the end, people live like that, it's not
00:30:10good, Paris finances, however, more than
00:30:132000 places for overnight stays, but that is not nearly
00:30:16enough, considers Ofelia, she is
00:30:19the president of the social affairs committee of the city of
00:30:22Paris.
00:30:27On the street in early 2026, nearly 4,000 people were
00:30:30and responsibility. The state's responsibility to protect all people and offer
00:30:34accommodation to all people who are on the street in France today, except that the state
00:30:38absolutely does not fulfill its obligations. The camp in front of the city
00:30:41hall was also disbanded. The city housed most of the people
00:30:45in sports halls, including Adam and his
00:30:49mother. Several cities, among them Strasbourg, have already sued
00:30:53the French state for the way it treats the homeless
00:30:56and the city of Paris is now considering legal action.
