00:00:00some, you know, in context, they placed us as immigrants in
00:00:03Europe, I don't know, from Morocco, from from Afghanistan, Syria and so
00:00:07on, people who came to live on this
00:00:10European soil, right, as if we were some foreign
00:00:13element, which is objectively ridiculous and comical, but look, in some circles
00:00:17it passed, that was the plan to present us like that in the context of that war
00:00:21between Israel and Palestine
00:00:24and, right, the genocide in Gaza and everything that happened, so that's all
00:00:27tried to put a noose around our necks. Now,
00:00:31considering that the Democrats will take - the Senate, I think they will
00:00:35take the Senate, if I were a betting man, the Democrats will take the Senate, and significantly so, with
00:00:3854, maybe even 55 votes,
00:00:41uh, what happens when they start investigations, and
00:00:44they announced it, you saw several reports already that were, while they were in the minority,
00:00:48uh, Democrats published, they announced that they would
00:00:51conduct investigations, the American
00:00:54Congress can conduct independent
00:00:57investigations where you come as must absolutely tell the truth, if you tell the truth,
00:01:01they catch you lying, you get five years, they announced investigations
00:01:04related to a series of these business
00:01:07ties of people close to Dodik in Serbia, in Albania, so
00:01:11there was a lot here,
00:01:13I don't know what about sanctions, President Trump will decide that, if there are these
00:01:17investigations, and then it turns out that new information is found during
00:01:20these investigations, that there were some relationships of people
00:01:24around Dodik with people around President Trump, and then he says, you know,
00:01:28these relationships are already surfacing, given...
00:01:31not only, well, on lobbying on projects, look, lobbying is legal, so these
00:01:34lobbying ties that are presented here as if they are, I don't know, they are
00:01:38legal ties, so people officially registered, if they don't register, that's another
00:01:42very transparently, you pay, you conclude a contract and you know what to expect, not only
00:01:45lobbying, they also received legal advice, you know who can lobby, well, anyone who
00:01:49registers can lobby, but the point is these business ties, that's a completely different
00:01:53topic, so in that case, it could happen to Mr. Dodik that he
00:01:56flew too close to the sun to be a politician.
00:02:00who is too much, so to become a political topic of the American
00:02:04election campaign where the Democrats are all against you, and the Republicans are a little
00:02:08ashamed of you, they are afraid of those ties, it's not exactly ideal,
00:02:11and he's going to Mar-a-Lago for that, I mean, I saw that he's trying to get
00:02:15to President Trump now to take a picture and so on, because look,
00:02:19Orban fell, Vučić fell,
00:02:22and Netanyahu seems to be falling, which I have to say is a surprise, but it seems that Eisenkot is taking power
00:02:25in Israel, then you know, Dodik
00:02:29was part of that network. He, unfortunately, won here in the
00:02:33elections, and unfortunately, Dodik and Čović have a majority in the presidency, which we will
00:02:36yet see how problematic that is for Bosnia and Herzegovina, how much it will, how much it will
00:02:40pain us from HDZ-SDA in the presidency for the first time, still,
00:02:43America is America, it can happen that Trump decides, you know, I'm giving
00:02:47you back the sanctions, or no, or look, it's '28, and '29, a Democratic
00:02:51president, I think it's very realistic to expect that the sanctions against Dodik will be reinstated,
00:02:55and that even some others will start to be
00:02:58considered that weren't before. On the agenda, changes are happening everywhere, only in Bosnia
00:03:02and Herzegovina, no? Well, there were changes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, how did they not happen to these new
00:03:06ones, right? Well, absolutely, that HDZ got better or worse? Well, changes
00:03:10happened, HDZ got it, for the first time we have HDZ in the presidency, for the first time, so
00:03:13I ask you, in your opinion, for better or worse? Absolutely for worse, so everyone
00:03:17who wants good for Bosnia and Herzegovina wants SNSD and HDZ in the presidency,
00:03:21that is, that is the basis of Bosnia and Herzegovina's politics, because the presidency is
00:03:25the most important body in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the presidency is the sovereign of Bosnia
00:03:29private ties with the president, given and Herzegovina, states are divided into what are states and what are not
00:03:31states by the fact that states have sovereigns, so someone who decides on behalf of that state
00:03:35in international forums, where other states gather, that is the presidency of Bosnia
00:03:39and Herzegovina, we handed over the presidency to SNZ, HDZ, we will see
00:03:43what, so, that is the people's decision, in my opinion, very
00:03:46dangerous, irresponsible and and a decision for the worse,
00:03:50if we put lobbying on one side, advocacy on the other, you just
00:03:53answered us in this conversation what one is and
00:03:57what the other is, who can and who cannot advocate or... lobby in this
00:04:00case, who advocates, or lobbies for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Bosnian-Herzegovinian
00:04:04diaspora, in America, how much
00:04:07can it do on that advocacy
00:04:11front, how much , on the other hand, in your
00:04:14opinion, on the lobbying front, could
00:04:17more of those pro-Bosnian forces, even if
00:04:20they were business entities that are strong in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:04:24become interested in Bosnia and Herzegovina so that they actually
00:04:28enter the market.
00:04:30only on one "lobbying, well you asked the question of questions, that's
00:04:33the hardest question, because you see, I often said this on
00:04:37other televisions, however, that Bosnia and
00:04:39Herzegovina is the promised land for all of us, all
00:04:43of us who live in it, so if there were no Bosnia and Herzegovina, probably a good
00:04:47part of us would not have the social position we have, so don't, many of our
00:04:51rich people think that they would be rich if there were no Bosnia and Herzegovina, now to
00:04:55return, I don't know, for this not to be Bosnia and Herzegovina anymore, for some
00:04:58change to happen. to be part of some empire now, for it to take
00:05:02us, he thinks I will still be rich, I won't be rich, so that's an
00:05:05illusion, everyone here is successful only because Bosnia and Herzegovina is an independent and sovereign
00:05:09state, then you know, people earn so much money that. So we have
00:05:12people who have 100 million marks in profit annually,
00:05:15they don't give a gram or a mark for Bosnia and Herzegovina, but act
00:05:19as if they live there as if they simply are not related
00:05:22to it at all, so no one gives, let's not
00:05:26lie, no one, so this is not criticism only, I was critical of the troika,
00:05:29that's not disputed, but the troika is not the only one to blame for that, so no one before the troika spent
00:05:33money, not from state former coalitions,
00:05:37nor did anyone spend money in the sense, especially of the private sector,
00:05:40because there is simply no such awareness.
00:05:42"we have, and our diaspora in that sense is not much better, our diaspora
00:05:46gets involved in elections, well, I was part of those elections several
00:05:50times, I was on your television then it was live and so on, and so we
00:05:54had some influence, but you know what, that's opening doors, when you go through those doors,
00:05:57you have to know what it is that you came for, so
00:06:00we, we don't, as a nation, I have to be
00:06:04critical of ourselves as a nation, we as a nation have an awareness of democracy, because these are
00:06:08already 35 years that we are a democratic nation, we have a democratic state, which is a
00:06:11huge success. Our peoples, our people live in states that are
00:06:15democratic outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina, participate in those elections and run
00:06:19and vote and, but don't donate, neither do we donate as a state, nor
00:06:22do we donate as private firms that you just alluded to, openly
00:06:26said, excellent question, nor as individuals, so you have our rich
00:06:29doctors who earn one or two million annually, they will give for various things, for
00:06:33politics no, no, there simply isn't that awareness, we are not yet
00:06:36at that level of development, I have to be critical there, of political awareness
00:06:40as a nation and as individuals to do that. "Probably also distrust to such an extent
00:06:44that they simply don't think they have to do something, I'm sorry to interrupt you, I don't know
00:06:48about distrust, well you work, you see,
00:06:5199% of relations in the United States
00:06:54take place at the level of private
00:06:58companies and what they do, so if you are, whom do you not trust,
00:07:01so if you are a private entrepreneur who has money and wants
00:07:05to do something, that's how serious lobbies work, so if you want to do something, you simply
00:07:09gather people, say I'm paying, you advocate for this because I believe in it." then someone who has hundreds of millions
00:07:12won't
00:07:21give a single mark, and earns money from Bosnia and Herzegovina, from Bosnia and
00:07:25Herzegovina, from people who love Bosnia and
00:07:29Thank you very much for your time and for being a guest on New Day. We are following what is
00:07:32happening. Our teams are on the ground, we are implementing a special program dedicated to

00:07:43"her, but we have touched upon a part of the story, we will see how it
00:07:46develops further, thank you, we will find out soon, thank you, we will find out soon, that's right,

00:08:59Asa Bank, ours and strong, here
00:09:03you go, thank you very much, goodbye,
00:09:05goodbye, here, the lady asked for anything for
00:09:09immunity, thinking it was all the same, but it isn't.
00:09:13Some products still last over 15 years, that's
00:09:16G132. G132 is not just
00:09:20another mushroom preparation, it is the base here. The real
00:09:23strength is in the combination of six natural ingredients that
00:09:26work together, support your immunity and protect the body from
00:09:30everyday
00:09:31stress.
00:09:34That's why I most often recommend it to patients who are constantly
00:09:37tired, stressed or are often sick. The focus is not
00:10:24We stay with... "domestic politics, political parties enter
00:10:27a new phase of negotiations on government formation, harmonizing future
00:10:31priorities of European integration, reform processes and relations with
00:10:34international partners will be among the key topics of the new political
00:10:37cycle. Although new coalition reshuffles are announced, the question
00:10:41remains how much they will bring changes in the functioning of the government and the progress
00:10:45of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the European path.
00:10:48Election results determined the new distribution of political
00:10:52forces, but the final composition of the government
00:10:55will depend on post-election negotiations. In the Party
00:10:58of Democratic Action, discussions on
00:11:02forming a new parliamentary majority are already announced. We will not shy away
00:11:06from negotiations and discussions with anyone, but, but
00:11:09I think things logically go in this direction that work is being done,
00:11:13that is, a coalition with parties that persistently resisted
00:11:16with us during this mandate, what
00:11:20the SDP and the troika were doing. How will the government be reshuffled
00:11:22or how will it, rather, be formed at the
00:11:26state level, it is truly difficult to
00:11:28prejudge, but if there is European
00:11:32readiness, that is, of all political actors
00:11:35who will participate in the government, uh, so, to
00:11:38adopt, as I previously said, laws on
00:11:41the European path, we want to participate
00:11:45in such a relationship. Special
00:11:48discussions are expected among political parties from
00:11:52Republika Srpska, especially after the president
00:11:55of SNSD, Milorad Dodik, called on the opposition
00:11:58for joint action at the state level. If
00:12:02anything has shown us what happened in
00:12:05Serbia, then it is that everyone
00:12:09here should finally understand that with a regime, you can only pursue
00:12:12a policy of either us or them. If you don't make
00:12:16a big, big change, uh,
00:12:20there are no changes. But we, together with coalition partners and in some other
00:12:23situations, "we can therefore also without PSS
00:12:27and without SDS, so that we have four delegates
00:12:31in the House of Peoples. The final distribution in the future government
00:12:34is not yet known, but interlocutors remind that
00:12:37the elections did not bring significant change in
00:12:40political actors, when he says that SDA needs
00:12:44a new Fadil Novalić, that is, Izredbegović refers
00:12:47to the fact that power should be taken over by people who have already
00:12:50been convicted of abuse of official position and authority and are therefore in
00:12:54prison. And if the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina is to be built in that way, or
00:12:58eventually reformed, then nothing will come of it. After these
00:13:02elections, we have no new political agenda
00:13:05nor a new political force that would bring something truly new to
00:13:09the political scene of Bosnia and Herzegovina. These political parties that will form
00:13:13the government have been present here for many years, practically decades
00:13:17with some pauses. In addition to domestic political relations,
00:13:20political developments in other countries could also affect
00:13:23the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Analysts point to
00:13:26the weakening influence of certain international political
00:13:30actors who had close relations with political structures in
00:13:33Bosnia and Herzegovina in the previous period. The mere
00:13:37fact that the pressure of Orban's
00:13:40machinery, Vučić's machinery and what
00:13:43Israel under Netanyahu did, will be less on Bosnia and
00:13:47Herzegovina, can be a basis for
00:13:49some mild optimism regarding the uh...
00:13:53internal Bosnian-Herzegovinian relations. However, different circumstances
00:13:56in international relations do not necessarily mean easier achievement
00:14:00of agreement within Bosnia and Herzegovina. For
00:14:03progress on the European path and improvement of the functioning
00:14:07of institutions, further agreement of domestic politicians
00:14:10will be needed. Dragica Pejaković,
00:14:14N1.
00:14:15While political impasses regarding
00:14:20state property in Bosnia and Herzegovina continue, the American company AFS
00:14:23is working on a new feasibility study worth 10
00:14:27million dollars. The new gas pipeline route should, according
00:14:30to claims from this company, bypass the problem of state property
00:14:33by routing it over existing public infrastructure. The Federal Ministry
00:14:37of Energy states that they are not
00:14:41aware of these plans. In addition, the entire project is accompanied by political controversies in
00:14:44the United States.
00:14:48The American company EFS
00:14:50is rapidly working on a feasibility study for a new route. The South
00:14:54Interconnection gas pipeline, which the director of this company's branch in Bosnia and
00:14:57Herzegovina claims should bypass state property and thus solve the main
00:15:01problem of project implementation. Amer Bekan, in an interview with N1,
00:15:04says that the new project is necessary not only because of property, but also because of the ban
00:15:08on the company using the old BH gas project, which was
00:15:12financed by the European Union. We hired one of the largest companies in
00:15:16the world that is currently working on a new project
00:15:19New Feasibility Study.
00:15:22that, that project costs about
00:15:2510 million dollars, we are currently working on a completely new
00:15:28project, the European Union which financed the majority
00:15:32of the South Interconnection project, did
00:15:34not agree that this project should be
00:15:38handed over to us, that is, that BH gas should hand it over to us
00:15:42and we are working on a completely new project, we are currently
00:15:45working on a variant, uh, on
00:15:48an option at all, uh,
00:15:51the law on the South, that is, the law on state
00:15:54property, uh, not to be a stumbling block to this project,
00:15:58that is, we are working on an alternative for which it will not
00:16:01be necessary to solve the issue of state property. In what way
00:16:05Bekan did not explain unofficially that existing
00:16:08infrastructure such as roads and paths, which are public
00:16:11goods, would be used. Following roads is a more expensive and longer variant, but for
00:16:15investors it apparently seems a more realistic option than
00:16:18waiting for a political solution to the issue of state
00:16:21property. The Federal Ministry of Energy is not aware
00:16:24that work is being done on an alternative solution. They previously emphasized
00:16:28that work is being done intensively on the agreement. The agreement itself
00:16:31does not specify the route, but the directions, so the feasibility
00:16:34study should not be an obstacle to the document
00:16:38that should soon be signed with the federal authorities, says
00:16:41Bekan. There are a few points left that we need to harmonize
00:16:45with BH legislation, uh, you must
00:16:49understand, I mean, the public must understand that this is ultimately
00:16:52not only about the South Interconnection, but a complete investment,
00:16:56uh, with a limit or, I would say, a framework of some two million,
00:17:00two billion euros, m such things must
00:17:03be checked, they must be
00:17:06harmonized. Because at one point, that investment must not be
00:17:09jeopardized. Let's remember that according to the Law on the South Interconnection, which the
00:17:13Federal Parliament adopted in April, domestic authorities and
00:17:16the investor were given one month to agree and sign a contract on
00:17:20the construction of the South Interconnection gas pipeline. The deadline
00:17:23expired in May. Alimir Bačarević comments that because
00:17:27of all the above, he does not believe that the works will start before
00:17:302030, if it ever happens.
00:17:34You know that statement by Mr. Lakić that the South Interconnection will be built
00:17:37in 2020, by the end of 2027, when there will be no more Russian gas
00:17:41in Europe. You know when it will be built by
00:17:452027? Never, it will not be built even by
00:17:472030, because how can you build
00:17:51200 km of gas pipeline
00:17:54in one year? Well, that's impossible, you have no project, you have nothing, no permits,
00:17:58you have nothing, no expropriation, there are no, meaning
00:18:01there are no basic things. We asked Bekan, the American
00:18:04company has never commented on deadlines, he states, precisely because of the complexity
00:18:08of the project. When the new contract will be signed,
00:18:12the director of Energoinvest is not aware, but it is a
00:18:15strategic project that will ensure competitive gas prices
00:18:18and that is why it should be insisted upon. The question
00:18:22is what is too slow? I will tell you, for Krk, for example, as an LNG
00:18:26terminal, Croatia worked on that project for almost 10, 15 years.
00:18:29These are not projects that are solved in one year, in six months.
00:18:33There was a very strong pressure here to speed everything up, but the reality of those projects.
00:18:37Unfortunately, we are victims of inaction in the previous period. Also,
00:18:41let's remember that Democratic Congressman Bill Keating published, on September
00:18:4515, with the support of his colleagues from the party, a report in which he questions
00:18:48American support for the AFS company
00:18:52in the South Interconnection project. The construction
00:18:54of the gas pipeline is not disputed, what is disputed is the investor's experience and his
00:18:57political ties with the current administration of Donald
00:19:01Trump. I believe that this happened exclusively because of their
00:19:06that there is absolutely no experience in managing gas pipelines
00:19:10of liquefied natural gas, nor experience in the Western
00:19:13Balkans. The State Department responded to the new allegations by stating
00:19:17that the concession model and the choice of the American company were
00:19:20sovereign decisions of the officials of the Federation of Bosnia and
00:19:22Herzegovina. A similar answer also came from
00:19:25the American investor. Tina Elindisdar
00:19:29N1.
00:19:33Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is again coming into focus, and with it
00:19:36the question of how ready the institutions are to respond to new
00:19:40challenges, while the police uncover smuggling networks,
00:19:43cities in the northwest of the country strive to maintain stability and avoid
00:19:46scenarios from earlier years.
00:19:49Bosnia and Herzegovina for most migrants is not a destination, but
00:19:53a path to the European Union, however, their number is growing.
00:19:57In the first three months of this year, 3,468
00:20:00migrants were registered,
00:20:0466 percent more than last
00:20:07year. The number of illegal border crossings or
00:20:10attempts increased by 76%, mostly people from
00:20:14Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan,
00:20:17Bangladesh and Turkey. In reception centers, there were
00:20:20more than 900 people. In
00:20:242026, we have so far registered about
00:20:2715,527 migrants,
00:20:30uh, as for 2025,
00:20:34that was around 10, 1835, so
00:20:37we can say that there has been a significant
00:20:41increase in
00:20:44mm arrivals of
00:20:46migrants in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the registration of our
00:20:50temporary reception centers, of which we currently have two, but
00:20:53smuggling remains one of the biggest challenges for
00:20:57the competent institutions. In mid-October, four
00:21:01people were arrested in Republika Srpska, suspected of
00:21:04smuggling 95 migrants towards the European
00:21:08Union. The arrested persons are suspected of having smuggled
00:21:12illegal migrants by hiding them in the cargo compartments of trucks
00:21:16together with legally transported goods. In this way,
00:21:20they illegally transferred them across the border with the Republic of Croatia
00:21:23further to the territory of other European Union countries, with Italy being
00:21:27the final destination. A few days later, in
00:21:30the area of Posušje, an illegal border crossing was prevented
00:21:34for 35 foreign nationals, among whom were
00:21:3711 minors. From UNHCR,
00:21:41they warn that it is important to distinguish refugees and
00:21:44asylum seekers from economic
00:21:47migrants.
00:21:50that asylum seekers and refugees, i.e. those fleeing war,
00:21:53persecution and violence, can travel the same route, and even use
00:21:57the services of the same smugglers as economic migrants, but these are two
00:22:01completely different categories, they have
00:22:04different reasons for leaving, some are forced
00:22:08to flee while others choose to leave. Despite the increased
00:22:11number of arrivals, Bosnia and Herzegovina is not the final
00:22:15destination for most people on the move. The path towards
00:22:18the European Union continues. And local communities in
00:22:21the northwest of the country, which were among the most burdened
00:22:25during the migrant crisis, today record a different situation, despite these larger
00:22:29numbers, it is much easier for us,
00:22:33more bearable, because of the fact that
00:22:36mostly, uh, people on the move
00:22:39who pass through Bihać come to
00:22:42the Lipa camp, stay there briefly and continue their
00:22:46journey further towards the European Union. six or seven years ago there was
00:22:50chaos in the Una-Sana Canton, over 100,000 migrants
00:22:53passed through several municipalities of our canton, and it
00:22:56was quite uncontrolled and chaotic
00:22:59situation, uh, the solution, of course, to that
00:23:03challenge is that, uh, the state,
00:23:06the institutions of the state that have direct competencies,
00:23:09do what is expected of them, while institutions try
00:23:13to keep migration under control, the challenge remains
00:23:16the same: how to respond to the increasing number of arrivals,
00:23:20while simultaneously ensuring security and a humane approach
00:23:23to people on the move. Dragica
