00:00:00Mm, on the other hand, the police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska
00:00:03banned the gathering of students in Banja Luka due to
00:00:07alleged public safety, and now I congratulate them, now I congratulate them, that is so politically
00:00:11hypocritical, that is actually a reflection of fear, that is something, that is Milorad
00:00:14Dodik's attempt to save himself, to maintain the connection he
00:00:16great, in definitely had with Serbia, uh, that speaks of the absence
00:00:20of any patriotism, that is not a sense of belonging to a fraternal
00:00:23people, uh, some brotherly-sisterly relations, that is
00:00:27indeed fear of positions of power, of economic interests
00:00:30that he definitely had through corrupt cooperation with the regime,
00:00:34the outgoing regime of Aleksandar
00:00:36choose to focus on Vučić, uh, and simply Milorad Dodik is now in a hopeless situation, because on the other
00:00:40side there are no uh, interlocutors in the form
00:00:44of Vučić and his entire crew who are gathered around him, but there are
00:00:47serious people, people with integrity who will remember who among the
00:00:51students, who among the political groups was
00:00:54not against it, one thing is to be against it, that is part of, part of political
00:00:57pluralism, what happened in Republika Srpska is the use
00:01:01of institutions of power to oppose the most valuable in our
00:01:04society, we have, you will remember the students in East Sarajevo
00:01:08who were manipulated, directly used
00:01:11to supposedly start some historical myths and to make those
00:01:15students from Republika Srpska from the Republic of Serbia presented as if they were
00:01:19some traitors, it went so far, so low, so much
00:01:22collision with those people, physical violence was used, so that
00:01:26first of all all the people gathered around Milorad Dodik, but also some people from the opposition -
00:01:30in Republika Srpska they should first say a big "sorry students for what we
00:01:33did to you, we owe a big apology, we will see what happens next", what can happen next, can Dodik
00:01:37be banned from entering Serbia,
00:01:41can he be dealt with through his
00:01:45real estate, uh, business
00:01:48connections, companies, uh, that he has in Serbia? Well, there will definitely
00:01:52be room for the work of judicial bodies, I think that the ties that
00:01:55existed, someone rightly said earlier in interviews that it was not
00:01:59any kind of connection between Republika Srpska and the Republic of Serbia, which definitely has its
00:02:02constitutional basis in the form of establishing special, parallel
00:02:05ties, it was also a connection between two families, between two
00:02:08people, that's precisely why it is
00:02:12necessary to perceive that level of need for him
00:02:15to politically, economically survive that departure of a person close to him
00:02:18with whom he had a lot of
00:02:22business communication, how can the student list relate to Milorad
00:02:25Dodik? Many, analyzing this story in our studio over the past few days, say
00:02:29that the first test could be January 9th. How can
00:02:33Serbia's relationship, or rather the student movement, the student
00:02:37list, be towards, for example, January 9th in the entity of Republika
00:02:40Srpska? Honestly, I don't think it's a fundamental
00:02:43issue, and appreciating the importance of all historical issues that will eventually come to the
00:02:47agenda, I don't think that a stance on any issue,
00:02:50even January 9th, will determine the position of the student list
00:02:54and their eventual prosperity and
00:02:57consideration.
00:03:00"Here we are actually questioning how Bosnia and Herzegovina will function
00:03:03after this, whether there will first be
00:03:06interference in the politics of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, but on the other
00:03:09hand, what will be the attitude towards those important issues that are on the list
00:03:13in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is, January 9th, that is, the genocide in Srebrenica,
00:03:17that is, uh, the question of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the European Union, NATO and
00:03:21so on, absolutely, and what is actually, I think, knowing these
00:03:24people, knowing their way of thinking, their way of political action and the level
00:03:28of integrity and professional knowledge they possess, I will just mention and quote
00:03:32Mr. Dejan Šoškić, who is one of the leaders of the student list
00:03:35and who will be a future member of parliament, he simply
00:03:39stated, we in the region want the best relations with
00:03:42fraternal Bosnia and Herzegovina, I think that this is definitely something
00:03:46that should send hope and optimism, I
00:03:48say, uh, the fact is that colleagues from the student list also
00:03:52stated, we in Bosnia and Herzegovina will not appoint
00:03:55partners, the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina elect their political representatives, we will
00:03:59respect them within the boundaries of our best interests,
00:04:03but the interests of all of us, we will send the best messages. I think that what is
00:04:07the victory of this student list is the effort to go
00:04:10beyond those frameworks that have been holding us back for 30 years, and
00:04:14that is the key question, I think, let's try at least for
00:04:18the next 30 years to free future generations from all those
00:04:21burdens that are holding us back, numerous politicians from Bosnia and
00:04:24Herzegovina, that's why I say that term "students" for me is not just a term that is linked
00:04:28to the borders of the Republic of Serbia, it is a term as a synonym
00:04:32for intellectual regression and complete degradation of science
00:04:35and education, it is very visible in Bosnia and Herzegovina. You
00:04:39had people who were, well, that quote regarding the stance on January
00:04:429th was expressed by a person who, in the worst possible way, spoke about January
00:04:469th as a determinant of student behavior in this show, it was expressed by a person who,
00:04:50a couple of months ago, in the worst possible way,
00:04:53spoke about students, uh,
00:04:55in the worst possible way, criticized their religious affiliations, religious
00:04:59orientations, and so on, but I will just remind you that those students
00:05:03achieved a victory, for example, I particularly like the victory in Novi Pazar,
00:05:07I just wanted to mention that, so students got more than all three Bosniak
00:05:10parties in Novi Pazar. A message of unity, these are students
00:05:14who, despite all the ideological heterogeneity, which is completely legitimate, I mean, it's
00:05:17absolutely a society where we have different types of
00:05:20views on both the past and the present and future, but here students
00:05:24presented a supra-national program, if you have a situation where a
00:05:28girl from Novi Pazar, who is covered, is in the embrace
00:05:31of a boy, a young man, a student from Šumadija who is wearing a Šajkača and
00:05:35they send a clear message, this is our country, we don't have
00:05:38another country, we want to make this country functional, to
00:05:42establish a system of rule of law, to establish a system where no one will
00:05:46operate outside the framework of the Constitution, and what is a very important moment, why the
00:05:50recipe for student victory is crucial here, they have now offered a concept where
00:05:54we have an answer of "we" towards "I", so there is no more
00:05:58"I gave pensions, I built highways, I will
00:06:01pay your salaries, I will leave you without a job." Now we have a completely
00:06:05new concept and a new political paradigm, where we have collective
00:06:09responsibility, a collective approach, and a complete
00:06:12healing of institutions, public authority,
00:06:16respect for the constitution, that is something that is fundamental, and that is precisely the reason why
00:06:20the student movement arose, let's establish an efficient,
00:06:23functional system in which everyone will have respect, in which human rights
00:06:27will be highly respected, in which institutions will do their job, in which
00:06:31we will not have these arrogant people walking the streets, with hoods,
00:06:34thugs, and police who are in the service of that mafia, when that is over,
00:06:38when the institutions are healed mm to that extent, it is easy later
00:06:42to create a political arena where political subjects will have their
00:06:46political ideologies and where they will, in a democratic environment, an environment
00:06:49of free media, be able to conduct political debate, we had a situation where political debate
00:06:53could not be conducted because you did not have space at all for people who
00:06:57thought differently, what do your colleagues at the Faculty of Law say about your
00:07:01struggle and passion for supporting neighboring
00:07:05Serbia, well we had various reactions, so there wasn't
00:07:08much conversation, I mean there would be advice to calm down a bit.
00:07:12The ball to stand out or is it some kind of support? No,
00:07:16there wasn't, I am very free in my views and I think that is in a way an academic
00:07:19duty, because uh, as I
00:07:23said, the student movement did arise in Serbia, they had their
00:07:26political articulation of power and demands in the form of a student
00:07:30movement that achieved a masterful victory in the elections,
00:07:34however, the idea that was propagated through the student movement is
00:07:37an idea that could indeed be expanded and applied, we would be
00:07:41very happy and proud. As a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, I would be happy and proud if
00:07:45I mm had at least the opportunity to partially
00:07:48participate in such a project and process that will happen in my
00:07:52country, and that's why I think that what needs to happen for that to
00:07:54be realized, first of all, uh, we need to start from many
00:07:58different segments of society, first of all in education, where in the educational
00:08:02system we actually need to teach children and students more
00:08:05from schools, high schools, and finally
00:08:08universities as the final form of education, that actually
00:08:12uh... the academic space is not a space where someone will just transfer knowledge to you, you should
00:08:15feel free to act academically, to question
00:08:18things, to critically review everything that is served to you, and
00:08:22I think that is the most important thing, and to teach students that everything someone tells you
00:08:25is not sacred, it is not some dogma that should not be questioned, precisely for the
00:08:29sake of questioning based on, of course, some legitimate grounds and
00:08:33rational arguments, you create a free society, and
00:08:36the most important thing is actually for citizens to be freed here,
00:08:40I think that political participation is very important. situation, we had
00:08:43a situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the last elections where 42%
00:08:47of people voted, that speaks of the feeling and responsibility
00:08:50of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina towards the future that is coming, it is
00:08:54very important to work on issues of political literacy, but ultimately
00:08:57to work on an economic liberation of people where people
00:09:01will truly be economically free to express their opinion. That is a
00:09:04synergy, my advice is always to
00:09:08try to break free from the chains that were
00:09:11left to us by previous generations, we can always find things
00:09:15in which we will not agree, that is definitely something that is, that
00:09:19is now a question of approach, I think that we can indeed have
00:09:22space where we will find common ground, there are many
00:09:26more such things, mm, where we will be able to find a common language and a common
00:09:29solution for the good of all of us, and the late Prime Minister of Serbia Zoran Đinđić said in
00:09:33one of his appearances, "we will see each other in the future, because we will
00:09:37all live there together," and I think that future is something worth
00:09:41fighting for and for which... students in Serbia from Bobde, thank you very much for
00:09:45your time and for being a guest on New Day, it's nice to hear the thoughts of young
00:09:48people, especially academics from Bosnia and Herzegovina who, well, have
00:09:52insights into Serbia somewhere wishing that everyone will be
00:09:56better in the future, how things will unfold, it's best that
00:10:00time disproves some, confirms others, we sincerely hope
00:10:04that what we talked about this morning will be confirmed, thank you once again, thank
00:10:07you, stay with New Day, next we will talk about the elections
00:10:11in America. Our guest will be Reuf Bajrović
00:10:15to talk about his personal experience of living in
00:10:18America, but also analytically and politically. Stay with
00:10:22us.
00:12:18Trump's policy faces a new test. Who will have the majority
00:12:21power to pass laws, approve money, oversee
00:12:25the president from Washington, we follow the key moments of the American
00:12:28midterm elections that could determine the political future of the USA,
00:12:31we include reporters and experts from Sarajevo and
00:12:34Belgrade, while our guests explain the political
00:12:38consequences, from decisions in Washington to consequences for
00:12:41Europe and our region. What changes does this election
00:12:44night bring and what do the results mean for Donald Trump,
00:12:48we bring live from the American capital.
00:12:51American congressional elections. November 3, election night.
00:12:55on N1.
00:13:0710 hours and 12 minutes we continue to talk about the elections
00:13:10on New Day, this time about those in America which
00:13:13are tomorrow, Americans will decide who will control
00:13:17Congress, how much space for implementing his policy Donald
00:13:21Trump will have in the last two years of his mandate.
00:13:25Although the president is not being elected, the midterms are a kind of assessment of his
00:13:28work. Republicans have a narrow majority in both houses, polls show that
00:13:32they could lose it. Trump is therefore campaigning as if his political
00:13:36destiny is being decided. We are talking about the American elections,
00:13:39political divisions, the atmosphere in society, with Reuf Bajrović who will
00:13:43speak from an analytical, political perspective, but
00:13:46also as a man who has spent a good part of his life
00:13:49in America, good morning to you and welcome to New Day. Good
00:13:53morning to you and all your viewers. How do American elections look from
00:13:57the perspective of a man who has the experience of living in America
00:14:00and knows the local political system and social
00:14:03conditions, I will quote a friend of mine
00:14:06who back in 2006
00:14:10said a very important thing that I often quote in the context of American
00:14:14elections, considering what is actually at stake in
00:14:17American elections, the amount of money
00:14:21that is spent is small, even though 12 billion dollars were spent
00:14:24on... the 24 elections now will probably
00:14:26be even more. What are the stakes, what is it about?
00:14:30Well, the stakes are the control
00:14:34of the most powerful world
00:14:36power, uh, so even in the context of these elections where
00:14:40the American president is not being elected, the American Congress is certainly
00:14:44and that's what people who are not familiar with the American political
00:14:47system don't know, that the American Congress is much stronger than the
00:14:51president himself, so Congress decides the budget, Congress
00:15:01and from the Senate and from the presidential house, that is, what is called
00:15:05Congress, and the stakes are huge, are
00:15:08American citizens aware of that? Well, how could they not be, well you will have
00:15:12this in a political sense
00:15:15a crazy game, so much is spent, so
00:15:19many people are invested in the elections themselves,
00:15:23that it is even for American standards, I think, a record
00:15:27level and Donald Trump is very aware, but Donald Trump, I think, on
00:15:30a human level behaves a bit irrationally,
00:15:34because he is now at the popularity level of George W. Bush from
00:15:372006, but he behaves as if he is Donald Trump from 2024 when he was at
00:15:41the peak of his popularity. So he comes out publicly and says, "give me
00:15:44a vote." I mean, it's like he's on
00:15:48this. Which speaks of helplessness and despair at that moment. Well, I don't know if
00:15:51that's helplessness and despair. So there are various theories, there is a theory
00:15:55that it's not working for him at this moment because he's at the
00:15:58popularity level of Bush from 2006. After
00:16:01Hurricane Katrina, after Iraq, so we're talking about 20
00:16:05years that no one has been so unpopular. He's even in some
00:16:09polls below Bush, even at the level of Nixon before
00:16:11impeachment, so he's at a record
00:16:15low popularity, but he insists that he
00:16:18be the one who leads this, who is the face of this campaign,
00:16:21there are various theories for that, he controls part
00:16:25of the Republican party, he always controlled sovereignly the so-called MAGA Republicans, so
00:16:29that's his MAGA movement, make America great again, which is still with
00:16:32him, so he has almost 90% of their support, but Republicans who are not
00:16:36MAGA are, you know...
00:16:41Well, I think it's the war against Iran, mm, the war against Iran that
00:16:44raised oil prices, oil prices caused
00:16:47inflation in America and directly affected agricultural producers,
00:16:51especially in states like Kansas, Iowa, so in Kansas
00:16:55currently you have,
00:16:57just now the latest research from the New York
00:16:59Times came out, and Democrats could get
00:17:03a senator in Kansas after 94
00:17:06years, so for... the last time Kansas elected a senator from
00:17:09the Democratic Party was in 1932. My father is 37 years old,
00:17:13so we're talking about 94 years, that was
00:17:16before World War II, so it's incredible how much that
00:17:20political scene has changed due to this, the war in Iran,
00:17:24America and Israel, in America, that's not the only reason,
00:17:28but it definitely is the most important reason, because it
00:17:31caused a chain reaction of rising diesel prices, diesel
00:17:35is what American trucks use
00:17:38to deliver goods, that raises food
00:17:42prices, especially for the population and has significantly affected people in
00:17:45states like Iowa and Kansas where agriculture is more important
00:17:48than in other states, for example, in Texas that is not the case even though in
00:17:51Texas also this Democratic candidate Alarico is leading in
00:17:55Texas, Democrats have not won senators since
00:17:581988. So Beto O'Rourke, well, you
00:18:02see, and you remember, you know, I'm kidding,
00:18:06so Beto O'Rourke was the last candidate in 2018 who came close, I think
00:18:10he lost by two points to Ted Cruz, and
00:18:13currently he's leading by 5, 6, 7 points according to polls, mind you,
00:18:17that's all almost within the margin of error, so it's not
00:18:20impossible that Republicans are being underestimated in polls, what I read from
00:18:24what you are saying is actually two things,
00:18:27one is, so if Kansas after 32 years gets a senator
00:18:30for the first time, uh, or in some other federal states maybe it will or
00:18:34won't, how much time does it take for change? When we
00:18:38here actually hope and very often
00:18:41expect some express changes in society, they don't
00:18:44come so easily, that's number one, and number two that it seems to me
00:18:47that only turbulence on the economic level and
00:18:50on the economic front can ignite that kind of dissatisfaction among
00:18:54people that would lead to such a, I would say, radical change as the voters in
00:18:57Kansas would make by electing a senator after so many years, well, you
00:19:01are now mentioning this
00:19:03theory of political changes which I think has proven
00:19:07incorrect in our case, so in the specific case of these elections
00:19:11it is a question of the economic standard of citizens which has suddenly
00:19:15changed in my opinion, we will see, so we are now it is possible that the polls
00:19:18are wrong, it is possible, look if you turn 3% in
00:19:22the direction of the Republicans, the Republicans retain control of the Senate,
00:19:26so I am talking about elections that are very
00:19:29close, in Bosnia and
00:19:32Herzegovina one vote decided the other day, you saw in Livno, one vote decided
00:19:36that this one party gets
00:19:39a mandate a mandate in the Livno
00:19:42Canton, which means that this government which is
00:19:45now there which is controlled by HDZ 98 which means that that person will go
00:19:49directly to the House of Peoples and maybe change as a Serb, so a Serb might change
00:19:53this balance of power on the federal level, one vote decided all that
00:19:56in America it is similar, look in 100,000 votes the election was decided
00:20:00in 2020 although Biden was leading a lot because in those states where it was important Biden
00:20:04won by only 100,000 votes combined, a difference in the state where.
00:20:15Yes, it's the economy, but the last elections were not decided by the economy in 2024, so
00:20:19the last 24 elections were decided by
00:20:22uh, so issues that are
00:20:25of political culture, so issues of LGBT rights, you remember that
00:20:28Republicans talked about trans people, often transgender people where it was
00:20:31because they didn't have economic problems, so then other
00:20:35issues came to the agenda, it's the same with us. So with us, the story about how
00:20:39only economic issues will suddenly erase differences in
00:20:42Bosnia and Herzegovina, I don't think it's true, so it has been shown in our elections
00:20:46that this is not the case, so people don't just vote based on
00:20:50"considering economic issues, so with their stomachs," they are very
00:20:54important, but people vote based on, it is a very complex question, so I think that
00:20:57on one level among those left-wingers,
00:21:01it is often mentioned as uh, is it evidence in Bosnia and
00:21:05Herzegovina and in some other countries, it's not just Bosnia and Herzegovina, that it is
00:21:08evidence that in our country these
00:21:11differences among people are so deep that economic issues cannot move them,
00:21:14but it's not quite like that, so you have the issue of corruption
00:21:18which does not have to be related to, it can be. Look, you can live very well in
00:21:21a country that has huge corruption, mhm, so then people often
00:21:26corruption, there are studies in America that say, now before these
00:21:30elections, that first, so when you ask Americans
00:21:33what is the main problem
00:21:36in America, it's not just inflation, you have studies that say that
00:21:40problem number one is corruption, high corruption, so corruption among people who
00:21:43make decisions, therefore it's complex, every election is always
00:21:47a new one. "What about the youth, especially
00:21:50Generation Z,
00:21:53who vote differently everywhere in the world from their parents, is the
00:21:57generational attitude towards politics changing and can that generation
00:22:00make a change? Well, you see, that generation made a change
00:22:03in 2024, so Donald Trump won the largest
00:22:07number of votes for a Republican candidate among young people
00:22:10ever, ever. You have states where he won among young people, so
00:22:14which was generally unexpected, but now young people
00:22:18massively seem to be turning so
00:22:21to the Democrats, young Republicans who are
00:22:24traditional Republicans who did not change their vote in 2024 are quite
00:22:27disappointed with this, especially Trump's
00:22:31attitude towards Israel and Iran, so Israel is a big, big
00:22:34issue in these elections, and so it is not
00:22:37just an economic issue, it is an issue that has nothing to do with economics,
00:22:40and some believe that because of Israel he attacked Iran, I
00:22:44agree that that then caused a
00:22:47series of that chain reaction of rising oil prices,
00:22:51which then caused inflation, which then directly caused people who
00:22:54are involved in agriculture in America to be in a very bad position, who are
00:22:58traditionally the hardest Republicans, now they are
00:23:01turning in Kansas and Iowa, so two states where, especially Iowa, we have our people,
00:23:04so people from Bosnia and Herzegovina, where these people
00:23:07are now turning to Democrats for the first time, which is truly incredible, because in Iowa
00:23:11there is a battle for the Senate, so Democrats could get a senator
00:23:14from Iowa, you mentioned Israel, how everything is actually
00:23:17connected, that Iran is actually on...
00:23:20attacked because of Israel and the loss of that support from young people who
00:23:23once gave it to Donald Trump, how are the political fates of
00:23:27Netanyahu and Donald Trump connected? Can the result in one
00:23:30country influence another? Yes, of course, I think the question of power in Israel
00:23:34is important for Bosnia and Herzegovina, so that's another topic,
00:23:38but will Netanyahu leave? Yes, he will
00:23:41indeed, so the answer to that question will influence many other things, because
00:23:45I mean, let's not lie here, so we can talk about it more freely
00:23:48now, it had enormous influence, that Likud party, globally, and still does.
00:23:52And in Bosnia and Herzegovina, look, you have two main allies of Likud in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Milorad
00:23:55Dodik, Dragan Čović, so I mean, we can tell people here
00:23:59that it has nothing to do with it, but it does, they are directly connected,
00:24:03Netanyahu's fall would certainly affect relations in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:24:06not only in the United States, especially in the United States, because
00:24:09look, you remember 2022 when there was talk about the imposition of
00:24:13the election law by Christian Schmidt in August, then the story came out
00:24:16in the most reputable Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, about
00:24:20how the Israeli part, at the time,
00:24:23the ambassador and the ambassador stood behind
00:24:26the imposed election law for Bosnia and Herzegovina, then the previous
00:24:29Netanyahu government, the previous one came out and said, "We don't interfere in
00:24:33the matter, we are against the imposition of the election law," then with the
00:24:36arrival, the Israeli position changed again regarding the imposition of the election law,
00:24:40which was very controversial by Christian Schmidt, that is just a small
00:24:43proof of how things change with the departure, the departure of one or another
00:24:47government in America, it's the same there, so there are
00:24:50relations of these, Jewish circles who are more liberal in the United
00:24:54States with Netanyahu's opponents,
00:24:57a good part of both the left and the right in America, even Democrats, are
00:25:01very close to Netanyahu, so it would absolutely have an impact, let's go back to these
00:25:05young people who were very important in 2024, but even now,
00:25:08how much do social media and fragmented media in
00:25:11America today have an impact, so that Americans have completely, I would
00:25:15say, within their states different pictures
00:25:18of reality, not us who almost, the divisions are
00:25:22deep, almost as if ethnic groups are involved, that's quite a new
00:25:25phenomenon, which started sometime in '96 when President Clinton
00:25:29allowed those cable networks similar to yours
00:25:32to be organized, networks that are news-focused, that are exclusively focused on news, which
00:25:36then over time developed into CNN and Fox News, later MSNBC, which were, well, some
00:25:40were for Republicans, Fox News these CNN and
00:25:43MSNBC were for this, for Democrats,
00:25:46then over time, people started
00:25:50rooting, you're in burgundy, I'm in blue, that's approximately like people started
00:25:54rooting for Sarajevo for Željezničar in the sense that political parties became part of
00:25:58identity, it's not like I ask, you're dressed in burgundy, what can I do.
00:26:02This is how it was in Bosnia and Herzegovina at one point, I stopped
00:26:06having even in Sarajevo people who consume media from only one
00:26:10single channel who invite only certain guests and then those guests tell one story
00:26:13then people somehow get politically radicalized,
00:26:17that happened in America, it is now at its peak, but that generation
00:26:21Z is not so much connected to news channels, it
00:26:25doesn't watch television at all, they eventually consume television
00:26:28from social networks in short
00:26:31clips." "but again, the production of those short clips
00:26:35is often related to people who are working on those news
00:26:38channels or used to work on news channels, for example, Tucker Carlson would never be such a
00:26:42big star if he hadn't worked at Fox News, objectively, you have people who
00:26:45are also left-leaning who used to work at CNN,
00:26:49MSNBC and other
00:26:51channels who now also through social media, YouTube and so on
00:26:55produce those news and produce short clips that then reach
00:26:59that young generation, while the older ones are still like us, so". They
00:27:02start with 37 cantonal news, the main news program, and
00:27:06end up with some 8:39
00:27:09late news, so there's that in America, those are people over 60, that's why the media
00:27:13today follows that line of
00:27:16thinking that what doesn't end up in the show will end up on a web portal or on some,
00:27:19it will extend its lifespan on some social media in order to make sure that all those segments
00:27:23of society watch what we, for example,
00:27:26are saying and talking about this morning, and it's also interesting for me to mention, when I was
00:27:30talking about your experience of living in America from 1994 when you
00:27:34went there, and now in this period, when you look at
00:27:38how much that relationship towards
00:27:41immigrants has changed, how people are treated today in
00:27:44America, and before, and today, who are part of
00:27:48the diaspora? Our experience is not relevant at all, so why do I
00:27:51claim that? Because uh, you know, you know why
00:27:55it's not relevant? Because we are, we are objectively Europeans, so we are white people,
00:27:59no one knows where you're from when they look at you, they don't know the difference between Eastern Europe and Southern Europe,
00:28:03therefore, we didn't have that kind of
00:28:06perception that many
00:28:10immigrants who come from countries, well, from Africa, from Asia and
00:28:14so on, who are not the majority white population, therefore, in
00:28:18that context, one must be objective, in that context, our experience was not
00:28:22uh, therefore, in one sense, negative, it was absolutely
00:28:25I mean, considering what America was like then and
00:28:28now, it was very positive, not at any single moment, I
00:28:32guarantee that none of our people who went to America, who, I mean, you have
00:28:36hundreds of thousands of our people, and I don't know how many we have in America, I, after all,
00:28:40still work in America, so never at any moment, from when we came there,
00:28:43we never felt like strangers, that's a fact, so in the sense that someone
00:28:47looks at you as a second-class citizen just because you are
00:28:51this, how I mean, so our experience in that context
00:28:55is objectively not relevant because we are, by our
00:28:58appearance, privileged, it's just like that. What could the outcome of these
00:29:02elections mean for Bosnia and Herzegovina, if many say that the House of Representatives is now
00:29:06considered lost for Republicans, and the Senate is
00:29:09most uncertain? What would divided government mean for Trump,
00:29:12and therefore also for everything that could consequently
00:29:16apply to Bosnia and Herzegovina? Well, it will certainly mean that
00:29:20part of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian
00:29:23political scene is in a very delicate situation,
00:29:26so the people who are, especially Dodik's people, but
00:29:30it can also be said freely that HDZ's people have closely tied themselves
00:29:33to Republicans, that right wing of the Republican
00:29:36party, so not to these moderate Republicans, but to
00:29:39MAGA, not just MAGA, but the right wing of MAGA, so we're talking about
00:29:42the Heritage Foundation, which is extremely close to both HDZ and SNSD, who
00:29:46have, mind you, talked about Bosniaks here
00:29:50and still talk about them today as some kind of
00:29:54foreign phenomenon, as if this isn't, we've always been here, this has always been ours,
00:29:58we're not some, you know, in that context, they put us in the same category as
00:30:02immigrants in Europe, I don't know, from Morocco, from these
00:30:05Afghanistan, Syria, and so on, people who came to live on
00:30:09this European soil, right, as if we are some foreign
00:30:12element, which is objectively ridiculous and comical, but mind you, in some circles
00:30:16it passed, that was the plan to present us like that in the context of that
00:30:20war between Israel and Palestine and the genocide
00:30:24in Gaza and everything that happened, so all of that was,
00:30:27I tried to put that noose around their neck. Now, given that
00:30:31Democrats will take the Senate, I think they will take the Senate, if I
00:30:35were to bet, I would bet on the Democrats taking the Senate significantly, with 54,
00:30:38maybe even 55 seats. This is what happens
00:30:42when they start with investigations, and they announced it, you saw several reports already which were
00:30:46while they were in the minority, the Democrats published, they announced
00:30:50that they would deal with investigations. The American
00:30:53Congress can conduct independent investigations where you come as
00:30:57a witness, you are under oath, you must.
