00:00:22Good evening, dear viewers, welcome to
00:00:24the news.
00:00:29Have the elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina brought changes or just a continuation of
00:00:32the political stalemate? Can old actors build the European
00:00:36path of Bosnia and
00:00:37Herzegovina?
00:00:41In tonight's news, also
00:00:42watch.
00:00:47Two years since the collapse of the canopy and the tragedy in Novi Sad, a commemorative
00:00:50gathering and walk were held in memory of 16 innocent
00:00:54victims.
00:00:55In Serbia, Marko
00:00:58Kričak, one of the leading figures of the Serbian police, was arrested.
00:01:02Young people across Europe took to the streets
00:01:06over the weekend, marked by protests and clashes with
00:01:09the police on French and German streets, with hundreds
00:01:13arrested.
00:01:15Winter crisis at BH
00:01:19airports, how taxes and lack of strategy are driving
00:01:22low-cost companies away.
00:01:25Rainy and gloomy weather. In the next
00:01:28few days, snow is possible in the mountains.
00:01:32Political parties are entering a new phase
00:01:38of negotiations on forming a government and harmonizing future
00:01:41priorities. European integration, reform processes and relations with
00:01:45international partners will be among the key topics of the new political
00:01:48cycle. Although new coalition reshuffles are being announced,
00:01:52the question remains open as to how much they will bring
00:01:55change in the functioning of the government, the progress
00:01:58of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the European path.
00:02:02The election results have determined the new distribution of political
00:02:05forces, but the final composition of the government
00:02:09will depend on post-election negotiations. The Party
00:02:12of Democratic Action is already announcing talks on
00:02:15forming a new parliamentary majority.
00:02:18We will not shy away from negotiations and discussions with anyone,
00:02:22but I think things logically go in this
00:02:25direction, that a coalition is being formed
00:02:29with parties that persistently resisted
00:02:32us during this mandate, what SDP and the trio
00:02:35did. How will the government be reshuffled
00:02:39or, better yet, formed at the state level, it is really
00:02:43difficult to prejudge,
00:02:45but if there is European readiness, i.e.,
00:02:49of all political actors who will participate in the
00:02:52government, that we adopt, as I said before,
00:02:55laws on the European path, we want to participate
00:02:59in such a relationship. Special
00:03:02talks are expected among political parties from the
00:03:05Republika Srpska, especially after the SNSD president
00:03:09Milorad Dodik called on the opposition
00:03:11for joint action at the state level. And if
00:03:15anything has shown
00:03:18us what happened in
00:03:20Serbia, then it is that finally
00:03:24everyone here should understand, with the regime you can only conduct
00:03:28politics, either us or them.
00:03:30"If you don't pull a big, big
00:03:33one, uh, there are no changes, but we, together with
00:03:37our coalition partners and in some other situations, can
00:03:41have four delegates in the House of Peoples
00:03:44even without PSS and SDS. The final
00:03:47distribution of power in the future government is not yet known, but
00:03:51interlocutors remind that the elections did not bring
00:03:54a significant change in political actors, when he says that
00:03:58the SDA needs a new one. Vadil
00:04:01Novalić, therefore, by avoiding it, he calls for
00:04:05power to be taken over by people who have already been convicted of
00:04:09abuse of official position and authority and therefore are in prison, and if
00:04:13Bosnia and Herzegovina wants to build its future and eventually reform, then there is
00:04:16really nothing to it. After these elections, we have no new political
00:04:20agenda or new political force that would bring
00:04:23something truly new to the political scene of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the political
00:04:27parties that will form the government have been there for
00:04:30a long time, practically decades with some breaks. In addition
00:04:34to domestic political relations, the situation in Bosnia and
00:04:37Herzegovina could also be affected by political processes in
00:04:40other countries. Analysts point to
00:04:43the weakening influence of certain international political
00:04:47actors who in the previous period had close relations
00:04:51with political structures in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The very
00:04:54fact that the pressure of Orbán's machinery, Vučić's
00:04:58machinery and what Israel did under Netanyahu
00:05:02will be less on Bosnia and Herzegovina can
00:05:04be a basis for some slight optimism related
00:05:08to uh intra-Bosnian-Herzegovinian relations
00:05:12anyway. Different circumstances in international relations do not
00:05:15necessarily mean easier agreement within Bosnia
00:05:19and Herzegovina, for progress on the European path and
00:05:22improvement of the functioning of institutions, further
00:05:26agreement of domestic politicians will be needed.
00:05:29Dragica Pejaković,
00:05:31N1.
00:05:34The European Union today marks 33 years since its official
00:05:37establishment, while Bosnia and Herzegovina, which gained candidate status for membership
00:05:41at the end of 2022,
00:05:44is still waiting for the first intergovernmental conference and the formal
00:05:48start of accession negotiations, despite the European Council's decision of March
00:05:522024. The head of the European Union delegation in Bosnia and
00:05:55Herzegovina, Luigi Soreca, warned that the country, more than
00:05:59two and a half years after the decision to open negotiations, has not
00:06:03yet fulfilled certain key obligations. Among them are
00:06:06the adoption of the Law on Courts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Law on the High
00:06:09Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of BiH, harmonized with
00:06:13European standards, and the appointment of a chief negotiator who
00:06:16would represent the state in the accession process. Soreca warned
00:06:20that Bosnia and Herzegovina risks losing an additional
00:06:23373 million euros from the Growth Plan for the Western
00:06:27Balkans by the end of the year, after previously allocated
00:06:31funds had already been reduced by 108 million
00:06:34euros.
00:06:38In the continuation of the news, about the midterm elections in
00:06:40the USA.
00:06:44Americans will decide on November 3rd in the midterm elections who will
00:06:48control Congress. These elections are an evaluation of Trump's work, and
00:06:51polls are in his favor.
00:06:54On
00:06:58this day two years ago, the concrete canopy of the railway station
00:07:02in Novi Sad collapsed. 16 people lost their lives in the tragedy.
00:07:06Two years later, no one has yet been held responsible for their deaths,
00:07:09although three separate court proceedings are underway. A tribute
00:07:13to the victims was paid today in Novi Sad, as well as in other cities
00:07:16in Serbia.
00:07:18The place where those
00:07:25who travel, especially when the days are like this, for six
00:07:28full decades found shelter. For two full years,
00:07:31this place has been a memory of those who, seeking rest and shelter
00:07:35under tons of concrete, lost their lives at
00:07:3911:52, a silence fell
00:07:42over the Novi Sad railway station. To the verses of Dušan
00:07:45Kovačević, only I am no more, Santic's verses were added,
00:07:48and the question echoed, why
00:07:52are you
00:07:55not there, why
00:07:56are you not there?
00:08:01In order to ask it again where it all happened,
00:08:05citizens from three sides of Novi Sad walked silently in columns,
00:08:08with reverence, but with hope.
00:08:10Hope. For a collective healing, I am very sad
00:08:14that we are even in this place, that this tragedy happened, but
00:08:18here, I guess it's not in vain and all these
00:08:22people who came show that all this ultimately made some
00:08:25sense, we expect that justice will finally
00:08:29be served, right, because of which all this
00:08:32began. I hope we are worthy of these
00:08:3516 souls who
00:08:38uh gave their lives, I would say
00:08:41uh... as a symbol of corruption that
00:08:44existed, after which all this change began, to the effect that
00:08:48what the change was initiated for has
00:08:51its name. Students reminded again:
00:08:54tragedy is not a word that adequately
00:08:57describes what happened on November 1,
00:09:002024. no, tragedy
00:09:03describes misfortune, a random
00:09:07event, and behind this word can skillfully hide
00:09:10the word we all seek,
00:09:14that is responsibility.
00:09:17Due to the awakened belief that in the new
00:09:20socio-political environment it will indeed finally be
00:09:24achieved, today's commemoration, according to journalist
00:09:27Dalibor Stupar, is somewhat different from last year's.
00:09:30I saw a huge number of people crying, carrying
00:09:33flowers and everything else, on the other hand, this
00:09:37angle, I think everyone is somehow more optimistic,
00:09:40that they somehow hope that we will perhaps...
00:09:44"this will be the last time we are in such uncertainty and
00:09:47that perhaps next year we will already
00:09:51welcome someone in prison, if not at least with some first-instance verdicts,
00:09:54so I think that is the main difference, that there is somehow some
00:09:58optimism present now, although, as we said earlier, in terms of steps, nothing concrete has
00:10:02really happened, right? None of the three separate court processes, two before
00:10:06the prosecution in Belgrade and one in Novi Sad, is even close to
00:10:09an epilogue, no trial has
00:10:12begun, there is no focus." So, certain investigations, for example, the
00:10:16financial one before the prosecution for organized
00:10:19crime, at the very beginning, we have no results, there are great
00:10:22obstructions by that side that were unacceptable
00:10:25until now from... the side of the competent state authorities,
00:10:28from the beginning, aware of their
00:10:31guilt and aware of their responsibility, I think that
00:10:35their whole story went along the path of blurring,
00:10:38dissipation, trivialization, and
00:10:42creating some environment where
00:10:45let's say the death of 16 people is considered
00:10:49something quite normal, but again they forgot the key
00:10:52thing, that they are directly responsible from the first to
00:10:56the last item why this happened, that
00:10:59the question from the beginning, from the famous Santic's verse, will not
00:11:03remain unanswered, those who spent two years in silence
00:11:06seeking it, in protest and rebellion, are convinced. Because
00:11:10murder demands a culprit, and the responsible
00:11:13will explain in court why they brought
00:11:17sorrow to our country, we
00:11:20will never forget,
00:11:23and that is why on every anniversary -
00:11:26in those cities at 11:52, we will
00:11:30gather and with a collective silence
00:11:33say that they are loved, remembered, and
00:11:36never mourned.
00:11:39Tamara Stojanović,
00:11:43N1. The head of the Serbian Criminal
00:11:46Police Administration, Marko Kričak, was arrested on the order of the Higher
00:11:50Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade for suspicion of abuse of official
00:11:53position, following a criminal complaint by the lawyer of the former
00:11:57director of the Belgrade police, Veselin Milić. According to the same complaint,
00:12:01the head of the Crime Suppression Service,
00:12:02Boško
00:12:05Sekulović, was also brought in. Marko Kričak, a name regularly
00:12:09associated with police
00:12:10brutality.
00:12:14In August last year, a student filed a criminal complaint
00:12:17against him, accusing him of abuse
00:12:21after the protest. Marko Kričak slapped
00:12:23me several times, he hit
00:12:27my head against the wall, telling me
00:12:30he would strip me naked, rape me in front of everyone, that everyone
00:12:33would watch. The prosecution responded to the criminal complaint and
00:12:37arrested Kričak and the head of the crime suppression service in the
00:12:41UKP on suspicion that by exceeding and
00:12:44abusing their official position and by not performing
00:12:48their official duties, they caused damage and seriously violated
00:12:50the rights of
00:12:56the injured party. The former head of the police
00:12:59administration for the city of Belgrade VM. The prosecution,
00:13:02therefore, did not react to the criminal complaint of the students,
00:13:05but to the criminal complaint of Veselin Milić, accused
00:13:09of failing to report a murder in Senjak and falsifying
00:13:12official notes. The media reported that Milić's complaint
00:13:16stated that Kričak also beat the owner of the restaurant
00:13:19where the murder occurred. There are also
00:13:23grounds for suspicion that the head of the UKP MK on May 16,
00:13:272026,
00:13:29along with other, as yet unidentified, police officers in
00:13:33the UKP premises, abused and tortured the injured party NL.
00:13:36How did it come about that Kričak was arrested by his subordinates
00:13:40and that on the order of a prosecutor recognized as close
00:13:43to the Serbian Progressive Party. It could be a personal reckoning, it could
00:13:47be an attempt uh
00:13:49uh to clear the name of the prosecutor and
00:13:53uh and the police to say, look,
00:13:56we were always good, and
00:14:00uh they were bothering us,
00:14:03the prosecutor can prove that he is not a loyalist, what is a higher
00:14:07prosecutor, a higher prosecutor did not exist
00:14:11outside of loyalty to the SNS. That very
00:14:14prosecutor today claims that they started working on that case
00:14:18almost half a year ago. It has nothing to do with electoral
00:14:21processes and the results of parliamentary elections.
00:14:25Kričak himself was loyal to one side in the past
00:14:28elections, proving his loyalty to the Serbian Progressive Party
00:14:32by attending rallies. Here's how the former
00:14:35president described him. A fighter without
00:14:38fear and flaw, that's why he bothers many,
00:14:41just like Mr. Repac,
00:14:43just like many others, people
00:14:47who strictly adhere to the law like a drunken fence.
00:14:51Now that his fence has somewhat slipped, the question arises, what
00:14:55was Marko Kričak's role in the Serbian police? He,
00:14:58let's recall, worked in a car
00:15:01service, without any
00:15:04training or knowledge to work
00:15:08in the police, then he experienced such
00:15:11a rapid ascent, thanks
00:15:14to his loyalty, he was not called that by
00:15:17other policemen,
00:15:20a loyalist. The police in the case of the murder in
00:15:23Senjak worked more on
00:15:27hiding than revealing evidence, says Prelević,
00:15:31and suspects that something else is behind the arrest. Nothing
00:15:34there is in accordance with regulations, nor the arrest
00:15:37of Milić after so much time. You all left all that
00:15:40for some time, what kind of Kričak
00:15:44and investigation, he doesn't know how to conduct an investigation, the statements
00:15:47of the prosecutor, saving,
00:15:50saving Milić, it all went through
00:15:53the SNS and now they
00:15:56are actually trying to somehow
00:16:00uh uh probably change that
00:16:03case. Prelević adds that it is most important that people
00:16:07within the Ministry of Interior prevent the destruction of documentation, rally
00:16:10their ranks, and do not undermine investigations that would lead to
00:16:14a complete picture of what was happening in the
00:16:17police. Miodrag
00:16:18Sovilj, N1
00:16:23Belgrade. In Serbia, parliamentary elections
00:16:27were repeated today at 53 polling stations in 24 cities and
00:16:30municipalities. Voting was repeated according to the decision of the Republic Electoral Commission at
00:16:3431 polling stations where it was not possible to determine the results
00:16:38of the elections held on October 25, as well as at
00:16:4122 locations where voting was canceled by decisions
00:16:44of the competent electoral
00:16:48commissions. Record turnout of
00:16:5277.9% in Israel did not bring
00:16:55Netanyahu's remaining in power, nor his removal. The election results
00:16:58highlighted the division in that country,
00:17:02the question of what to do with the votes of Arab Israelis,
00:17:05for N1 from Jerusalem,
00:17:08Aleksandra Gotfroa. "The sources in Israel are finished,
00:17:12but for now without a clear winner who could form a stable government,
00:17:16that is, all options are still on the table. In
00:17:19Tel Aviv, as well as here in Jerusalem in Haifa, protests were held by
00:17:22supporters of a united government, a government that would unite
00:17:26the opposition bloc of Gantz, Eisenkot,
00:17:29and Arab parties which won
00:17:3319 seats in these elections, which everyone says is absolutely unprecedented. The turnout
00:17:36was large, but it was large among those who voted for
00:17:40Arab parties. However, Eisenkot had already ruled out
00:17:44any possibility of a coalition with Arab parties before the elections.
00:17:47The Likud party, however, hopes that Eisenkot will still
00:17:51be entrusted with the mandate to form the new government
00:17:54and they have their own motives for that.
00:17:57What will happen
00:18:00next Tuesday, November 10? The parliament will meet,
00:18:04that will be the first test, why will it be the first test?
00:18:07We will see if they will change the speaker of the Knesset,
00:18:11but to do that they will need Arab parties to vote, and I think the people
00:18:14of Israel will understand what is going on. At the same time, supporters of
00:18:18the United Government also protested, as did supporters
00:18:22of Benjamin Netanyahu's government, i.e., the
00:18:25Likud party, who chanted, Bibi is king,
00:18:28the people have spoken, let's go to new elections. Some
00:18:32experts estimate that new elections would actually favor
00:18:36Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party, as well
00:18:39as the very right-wing coalition gathered around him, because the
00:18:43turnout of those who voted against him would be much
00:18:46lower. The Likud coalition around Likud not
00:18:50only rules out the possibility of a coalition with Arab parties, but
00:18:53claims that these Arab parties do not
00:18:57actually represent Israeli Arabs at all. They
00:19:00also accused Qatar of interfering in
00:19:03the elections, and the more extreme ones even call the large
00:19:07turnout of Arabs electoral terrorism.
00:19:09Shin Bet and Mossad are involved
00:19:13in determining whether someone actually interfered in the
00:19:16Israeli elections.
00:19:20I have nothing against the Arab population, they are my friends. I have something against
00:19:24the members of those who represent them in the Knesset, who sing "biladi,
00:19:27biladi, my nation, my nation" about a Palestinian state and do not
00:19:31recognize the state of Israel. After October 7, people say things
00:19:35must change, that Haredi and Jews must serve
00:19:38in the army. After October 7, I cannot accept in
00:19:42my parliament those who do not see Hamas as a terrorist organization.
00:19:46I'm sorry, as I said, I have nothing
00:19:47against my Arab friends,
00:19:50never, but you have something against what they
00:19:54vote for. I have something against those who represent them,
00:19:56yes, definitely.
00:20:00On November 4, the final results of these elections
00:20:02will be announced. On November 10, the President
00:20:06of Israel should appoint a mandate holder to form a new government.
00:20:10Whether he will succeed in forming it, we will see
00:20:13soon. Aleksandra Godfra, N1,
00:20:15Jerusalem,
00:20:19Israel. On November 3rd, Americans
00:20:22will decide who will control Congress and how much room
00:20:26Donald Trump will have to implement his policies in the last two years
00:20:29of his mandate. Although a president is not being elected, the midterm elections
00:20:33are a kind of evaluation of his work. Republicans have a narrow majority
00:20:37in both houses, and polls show that they could lose it. Trump
00:20:40is therefore campaigning as if his political fate is being
00:20:44decided. More in Victoria
00:20:47Kristić's report. About 210 million
00:20:50registered voters will decide the composition of the American Congress, all
00:20:54435 representatives of the House of Representatives and
00:20:58a third of the senators. It is precisely Congress that passes laws, decides
00:21:02on the federal budget, oversees the work of the president, and Republicans currently have control
00:21:05over it with only a few mandates advantage.
00:21:09Congress is the American legislative body, it has two houses, and
00:21:12what is interesting and what is actually part of that American
00:21:15so-called checks and balances system,
00:21:19that is, a system in which there is control. of all branches
00:21:22of government, that is the mechanism of midterm elections
00:21:25at mid-term in order to prevent the influence
00:21:29of different party members from different houses
00:21:32on the current government. Trump is not on the ballot,
00:21:36but he is daily on various stages of pre-election
00:21:39rallies. He also visits states where Republicans have won so far
00:21:42without major difficulties, and now they are threatened
00:21:45with losing
00:21:50mandates. wave we got this
00:21:53people. not a lot happens and what you're talking, so we're
00:21:56here because it's a something exciting. We're not like huge
00:22:00huge Trump people, but it's exciting. Just the first time ever get to lay eyes on him,
00:22:03make sure that he's real. Uh, shout, thank you real loud, shout that I love
00:22:07him, that we love them. As soon as I heard Trump was here.
00:22:11Yeah, you really wanted to go. Yeah, he's our little Trump supporter. No.
00:22:14Not all voters share the enthusiasm of Trump's supporters. At the center of the campaign
00:22:18is a question that is felt in everyday life.
00:22:21How much does food, fuel, housing, and healthcare
00:22:25cost? are going crazy, housing is crazy, inflation is
00:22:28crazy. We have to show up and vote because our vote is what actually changes
00:22:32what's going on in the world. In general, like minimum
00:22:35wage, the way working hours are, the way people have to
00:22:39labor so hard and they're not, they're barely making ends meet, working paycheck to
00:22:43paycheck. I just feel like that's not the future that I want to be a part of. The Democrats
00:22:47just simply, they just represent the people better. Republicans, they represent business
00:22:54interests, all right? Voters thus decide between two
00:22:58different political visions. Democrats advocate for a greater role
00:23:02of the state in financing social programs, environmental protection,
00:23:05and a more liberal immigration policy. Republicans,
00:23:08led by Trump, emphasize lower taxes, the right to
00:23:12bear arms, and stricter border control and immigration.
00:23:15However, in this campaign, economic themes increasingly
00:23:18overshadow ideological differences.
00:23:22are more expensive than we've ever seen. You
00:23:26think that their campaign might want to mention
00:23:28gas or groceries,
00:23:32but instead they just want to point to me and be like, he's Muslim, but here's the deal, Donald,
00:23:36listen, I'll go through metal detector if you'll
00:23:38sit for a lie
00:23:46detector. Simple.
00:24:34I got nothing. But the pre-election battle is not fought
00:24:38only with words. Billions of dollars are pouring into the campaign, by
00:24:42mid-October, 3.8 billion
00:24:45had been spent on political advertising. Among the largest financial
00:24:48supporters
00:24:50of Republicans is Alon who allocated about
00:24:54366 million dollars for their support. Despite large
00:24:57investments and Trump's intensive campaign, his
00:25:01popularity is low. But how much would a change in Congress
00:25:03affect the
00:25:06president at all? him pay attention?
00:25:09Maybe the Supreme Court is also Republican,
00:25:13so one doesn't know whether Trump will be forced to
00:25:16adhere to the normal standards, uh, that presidents
00:25:20have been forced to obey since the beginning of the American
00:25:22Republic. He may well get away with
00:25:26being an authoritarian. We'll have to see. This is an
00:25:30unprecedented point in American history. I don't think
00:25:34people across the world understand that our
00:25:37republic here is very much in danger. What is expected is that
00:25:41Republicans will lose control of the lower house,
00:25:45and that they could also lose control of the Senate,
00:25:49but that still doesn't mean that Trump will be greatly
00:25:53hindered, it will be a little harder for him, but
00:25:56he could still continue to do everything he has been doing so far.
00:25:59Democrats need to win additional mandates to take over
00:26:03Congress, any of which could be crucial. The unusual
00:26:07move from the Vatican shows how closely these elections are being followed and
00:26:10how important they are. Pope Leo voted by mail,
00:26:14becoming the first pope to participate in American elections
00:26:17and, according to available data, probably the first to
00:26:21vote in elections in a secular democracy. Victoria
00:26:23Kristić,
00:26:27N1. 9 p.m. is preparing
00:26:30a special program dedicated to the American... Congressional elections that will last
00:26:34throughout the night until the morning of the new day, and the monitoring of results,
00:26:38reporting from Washington, analyses and conversations with American
00:26:41regional interlocutors will connect the global political
00:26:44event with its possible consequences for the world, Europe
00:26:48and our
00:26:49region.
00:26:53Across Europe, protests by young people in Greece, Italy, Portugal and
00:26:56France, this weekend were joined by members
00:27:00of Generation Z in Germany, several... clashes broke out around French cities
00:27:03between demonstrators and police, hundreds
00:27:07of thousands of people, including high school and university students, took
00:27:10to the streets across France in protests that are no longer
00:27:14just about education, but about increasing living
00:27:18costs and expensive energy. Clashes between
00:27:21demonstrators and police broke out in several French cities, and
00:27:24the French Ministry of Interior announced that 296
00:27:28people were arrested. The protests were organized by
00:27:32unions, school and student organizations, as well as
00:27:36the Yellow Vest movement that appeared in France
00:27:39in 2018. German police
00:27:42arrested more than 200 people last night after violent clashes
00:27:45broke out in several cities, after
00:27:48mostly social demonstrations. Riots broke out
00:27:52in Hamburg, Frankfurt and Berlin after radical groups
00:27:55organized smaller demonstrations, putting up barricades
00:27:59and clashing with police. The main daily...
00:28:02protests organized by the GNZ initiative took
00:28:05control in more than 30 cities in Germany, gathering
00:28:09tens of thousands of young people who demanded increased funding
00:28:12for education, relief from increasing living costs and
00:28:16opposition to plans for reviving mandatory
00:28:19military service. In Lisbon,
00:28:22after thousands of citizens took to the streets yesterday, dissatisfied with increasingly expensive rents and rising
00:28:26property prices, police entered the central
00:28:30square to... remove 50 tents that had been
00:28:33set up by protesters. The demonstrators
00:28:36are demanding the resignation of the center-right government and a change to the laws that
00:28:39they believe will only worsen the situation
00:28:43in the area of housing.
00:28:45Online shopping is changing
00:28:50consumer habits, but also raises questions of security,
00:28:53consumer protection and business practices of merchants, while citizens are
00:28:57increasingly shopping online, the domestic market is still looking
00:29:00for a way to catch up with this
00:29:04trend. To find the desired product at home
00:29:08and buy it online or go from store to store and
00:29:11choose. Although it is gaining popularity, trust in online
00:29:15shopping and the experiences of citizens are still different.
00:29:18The good thing is that you don't have to iron, you can
00:29:22order from home, that's it. You won't believe it, I bought
00:29:24chocolates online, they show you , for example, coffee. You would normally
00:29:28buy coffee, and now instead of
00:29:32going somewhere, you know you'll need that coffee, I'll buy 2 kg online,
00:29:35let it sit, I also look at prices
00:29:39depending on what I need, household items,
00:29:42clothes, shoes, not that often, you have advantages, you go in and
00:29:46buy closer, I don't want to buy until I touch it,
00:29:49I don't like anything, my wife and daughter buy, they probably buy something,
00:29:53one of the key factors when buying is the price,
00:29:56the same product in different stores can cost significantly
00:30:00more or less, which is why citizens are increasingly comparing prices,
00:30:03one example of such a possibility is the platform skrtica.ba
00:30:07which was recently launched by Dženan Hamzić from Zenica with an address
00:30:11in Austria. The average savings on skrtica between current
00:30:15offers is around 61 or 62
00:30:18marks, but for larger products, home appliances, for
00:30:21televisions, for mobile phones, that difference is significant. I have
00:30:25a good example, from yesterday where my wife was looking
00:30:29for a vacuum cleaner, we found a difference of 700 marks,
00:30:33although interest in online shopping is growing, the domestic market is still
00:30:36lagging behind more developed countries, especially when it comes to the availability
