00:00:00"maybe they are following us, I always say that we are in a special society, that maybe
00:00:04people, I often encounter resistance to what is called
00:00:08feminism, the fight for women's rights, but here
00:00:11are cases when the rights of
00:00:15children are threatened, so here we need to be sensitized and
00:00:19a million times I have corrected young journalists not
00:00:22to reveal details of child
00:00:25sexual abuse, because somehow
00:00:28my way." Ivana said, because it
00:00:31is porn material for pedophiles, so if
00:00:35nothing else, think in that direction, don't give
00:00:39such material, no one should read it, not to mention
00:00:43re-traumatization, in Alimin's case we
00:00:46haven't failed much as a society, I must commend every
00:00:50activist who sits in
00:00:52the courtroom from one hearing to another
00:00:56hearing, we were worried, worried about
00:00:59the change of expert, thinking that it would go to that, that he
00:01:02is insane, that it would thus lead to a reduction of his sentence as
00:01:06we are used to in court proceedings that were previously
00:01:10conducted against such serious crimes, thanks
00:01:13to all of them, really, we are not in Mostar if we were in Sarajevo, we would have joined
00:01:17them, that is very important, to exert pressure in that way
00:01:20and only in that way can we achieve
00:01:24justice in our
00:01:27emphasize I will deviate a little from the topic, but
00:01:31I always say that we address with these appearances
00:01:34people who perhaps understand human rights
00:01:38differently, I was
00:01:41disappointed, I was recently disappointed, a lot
00:01:45of analysis has been done about female politicians and whether women in politics, how much
00:01:49these topics are present, yes, thanks to all those who have
00:01:53these topics on a platter who will really implement it through their
00:01:56political practice for the next four years, for example...
00:02:00uh, I was really in a way delighted with
00:02:03the campaign of one of the members of the Presidency of Bosnia and
00:02:06Herzegovina, it was a sophisticated European
00:02:10campaign, with statements from her
00:02:13advisors, colleagues, somehow
00:02:16all the time it was about her humanity, but the
00:02:19moment one of her first statements was that what
00:02:22was particularly important to her was
00:02:25that she hadn't cooked enough dinners for her husband, I realized
00:02:29that... the next four years our struggle will be even more
00:02:33utopian and we will need even more support and strength
00:02:36repeating such appearances to make a difference,
00:02:40so I only ask journalists to think about what they are saying, not
00:02:43everything has to be public, let them think about the re-traumatization
00:02:47of victims and families, or after all, let every
00:02:50journalist consult with a more experienced colleague who knows some rules
00:02:54that have already been adopted according to all other guidelines, let them once
00:02:58go and really talk to a victim.
00:03:00then they will understand everything, there will be no more need for us to talk about what needs to be done, but
00:03:04it turns out that we are now
00:03:08for which, are the positions holding to some letter, we simply work with victims, we know what we can and cannot do and we kindly ask all
00:03:12editorial offices, colleagues to join us to take into account the basics, I mean
00:03:15all the recommendations we send, we send consultations with the media community,
00:03:19nothing is made up that
00:03:22no one has told us, that is not already in some code, that is not
00:03:26based on some principles, universal principles and similar.
00:03:30"This, but yes, regarding the trial of Aldina
00:03:34Jahić, we had the opportunity, this, well, through my
00:03:38work with, on that beloved program, I had the opportunity to talk
00:03:41to women who survived violence and we talked
00:03:45about following trials and similar, they said that it is very important and very
00:03:49crucial for them to see that the perpetrator
00:03:52of this brutal murder
00:03:55is being tried, but they
00:03:59don't want to see so many of his photos,
00:04:02that they are not interested in his justification,
00:04:06they want to hear the experts,
00:04:10how the experts interpret some
00:04:13moments of the trial, not just
00:04:16the transcript of the trial, the murderer of Nizama Hećimović and his pictures with those
00:04:20biceps, with those chains, that was retraumatizing
00:04:24for everyone, the position of power is shown, that is some coward who
00:04:27killed, who abused, mistreated and in such a brutal way
00:04:31committed such a crime, so I don't want to see him, I'm not interested in his
00:04:34biceps, triceps and he is just a coward to me, and believe me, as
00:04:38Saša Petrović said a thousand times in this studio, when you talk to
00:04:41such abusers, those are such
00:04:44cowards, so they are not machos at all, they
00:04:48are cowards who abuse those women and
00:04:51uh take away their
00:04:55maybe we've strayed a bit from this topic, this no, everything
00:04:58is very, very much connected. After all, we
00:05:02started with that story about journalists and that we have to fight for our rights, that we have to
00:05:06fight to talk about violence, the violence that happens to us, that we have to
00:05:09fight for there to be as little as possible, that is, for us to have clearly defined
00:05:13rules, and of course it has a lot to do
00:05:17with how we, as journalists, will talk to victims, how we will report on
00:05:20specific cases and with
00:05:23the terminology that we will also use, we will certainly be
00:05:26more sensitive on that issue after
00:05:29we talk more and more concretely about what is happening
00:05:32within our
00:05:36that are unfortunately very current daily in
00:05:39the media and in Bosnian society.
00:05:43"The trial, I say, of Eldin Jahić has ended, the verdict
00:05:46is tomorrow, we also had fierce reactions due to the severity of the sentence when
00:05:49we spoke earlier about minors in
00:05:53Tuzla, but perhaps that is a topic again for
00:05:57people from some other areas when we talk about the verdicts themselves
00:06:00and about the severity of the sentence for this type of criminal
00:06:04offense, but it is certainly a topic, but it is also a topic and
00:06:07what we can expect as a society, as journalists and as women, after all,
00:06:11is the maximum." the maximum severity of all sentences
00:06:15in all these cases we are talking about,
00:06:17because that is certainly also something that will
00:06:20discourage all
00:06:23of violence against women, violence in general and
00:06:27femicide, thank you very much for opening all these topics and thank you for being
00:06:31my guests this morning, it was a pleasure, thank you Ivana, thank you Ivana, and
00:06:34thank you Sanela, thank you

00:06:41I hope... that we will talk about prevention and some
00:06:45of your activities, never about specific cases.

00:10:03It's time for a new news overview, joined by my colleague Azur Delić, Azur, once again I wish you a good
00:10:07morning, good morning Ivana, once again, a warm welcome dear viewers,
00:10:11the Hungarian government has suspended the financing of the agricultural machinery procurement
00:10:14program for farmers from Republika
00:10:16Srpska. This program was part of a aid package worth 100 million
00:10:20euros announced in 2022 in
00:10:23cooperation with the then Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban and the leader
00:10:26of SNSD Milorad Dodik. The Foundation for Sustainable Development, through which
00:10:30the program was implemented, announced that it is suspending the implementation
00:10:34of the public call for 2026. And
00:10:36after the new Hungarian government stopped
00:10:39financing.
00:10:42The trade union of health workers in Sarajevo Canton announced a peaceful gathering
00:10:46in front of the Sarajevo Canton Government building at 10 AM. The reason, as
00:10:50they state, is dissatisfaction due to unequal treatment and
00:10:53different valuation of the work of employees
00:10:55in the health sector. Namely, the trade union of doctors of medicine and
00:10:58dentistry of Sarajevo Canton was approved an increase in the coefficient by
00:11:010.30, although during negotiations on the collective agreement
00:11:05in the health sector it was pointed out that there were no financial possibilities for
00:11:09increasing the basic coefficients, state those who will protest
00:11:13today.
00:11:16After the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina determined that several acts that
00:11:20disposed of state property in the area of Vareš are not in accordance with the Constitution
00:11:24of BiH. Representatives of federal, cantonal and state institutions
00:11:27held a meeting in Sarajevo to consider the next steps.
00:11:31The decision of the Constitutional Court, among other things, refers to the concession agreement from
00:11:352013 and its annexes, the competent
00:11:38institutions were given a deadline of six months to
00:11:41re-examine the disputed acts, with the mandatory inclusion
00:11:44of the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
00:11:48We want one team
00:11:51work to harmonize our actions, so that we do not have different
00:11:54actions at different levels of government, because
00:11:57this issue is very important for, not only for
00:12:00the federation, but for the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Constitutional Court in
00:12:04its decision warned us, so to speak, to take into account
00:12:07the financial aspect that could happen when it comes to
00:12:11reviewing acts adopted by various
00:12:15levels of government in the last 15
00:12:16years.
00:12:19European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos said that Bosnia and
00:12:23Herzegovina is increasingly moving away from the European path, while
00:12:26she singled out Montenegro as a country that has a clear chance to become
00:12:30the 28th member of the European Union. Presenting the new
00:12:33enlargement package of the European Commission, Kos announced that the enlargement process
00:12:37made significant progress in the past year and that the four
00:12:41countries that progressed the most received indicative roadmaps.
00:12:44When it comes to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the assessment of the situation is
00:12:47unfavorable, due to stagnation in reforms and political
00:12:50blockades. Bosnia and Herzegovina is threatened by about 374
00:12:54million euros from the growth
00:12:55plan.
00:12:59Essentially, this was a lost year in terms of tangible progress.
00:13:02The overall picture shows that Bosnia and Herzegovina is missing key opportunities and
00:13:06lagging behind its neighbors. Above all, what we call
00:13:09fundamental issues must be addressed, namely the judiciary,
00:13:12the fight against corruption, freedom of expression. If
00:13:16domestic authorities do not meet the necessary conditions for implementing the growth
00:13:20plan for the Western Balkans by the end of the year, they will face a new reduction
00:13:23of European Union funds.
00:13:30Donald Trump's plan to import Russian diesel into the United States
00:13:33seems to be failing, two tankers that were originally
00:13:37sailing towards the American coast suddenly changed
00:13:40direction. The situation with diesel reserves in America is further
00:13:43deteriorating. The question is how this will affect the price
00:13:47of oil. The price of a barrel of oil on the world market recorded a drop in recent days.
00:13:50The price is now 94 dollars per
00:13:53barrel.
00:13:56The analysis of the American elections does not stop, the Republican party
00:14:00lost its majority in both houses, thus Donald Trump suffered a strong
00:14:03blow. The Mayor of New York called on fellow Democrats to
00:14:07take advantage of this moment. In America, a new morning has dawned,
00:14:11said Imamdani.
00:14:14People are tired of being told there's not enough for everyone while
00:14:18Elon Musk becomes the world's first billionaire. They are tired of politicians
00:14:22who bought the richest people on the planet telling
00:14:25them that their needs are unrealistic, they are tired of
00:14:29being told to ask for little, expect even less, and
00:14:32last night people rose up, they rose up against politicians who spend
00:14:36taxpayers' dollars on war crimes and genocide instead
00:14:40of building schools and paving roads,
00:14:43they spoke louder than hundreds of millions of dollars that
00:14:47tried and failed to buy these elections,
00:14:50they demanded an end to the accessibility crisis that has become
00:14:53one of the few things that unites all of us, it's not enough just
00:14:57to win power, we must
00:14:58use it.
00:15:04In the Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the public has the opportunity to see an exhibition
00:15:08by Italian photojournalist Mario Boće. Sarajevo
00:15:111992-1996.
00:15:14The longest siege. The exhibition is part of his multi-year effort
00:15:18to use photography to bring closer the experience of Sarajevo during the siege and
00:15:21open space for discussion about the past, but also its.
00:15:27When you look at these photos on the wall, I must tell you that these are photos that
00:15:31no newspaper wanted to publish because they didn't find them dramatic enough,
00:15:35I was actually touched by the fact
00:15:40that life and the desire for life are much stronger than war. It is important
00:15:44to find and show such photographs to new generations, not
00:15:47only to teach them what was,
00:15:50but somehow to be ready to
00:15:53think about the future, to know what war is
00:15:57and how much it is not good for new generations. Mario
00:16:01persistently does this with hundreds or
00:16:04thousands of young people in Italy, that is, for example, one of his differences
00:16:08compared to other photojournalists who served, who were here
00:16:12war photo journalists,

00:18:48Bayer. Good day. Have you noticed that after
00:18:51sitting, it takes you longer to stretch?
00:18:55Why does this happen? We will ask Dr. Jasmina, as an
00:18:58internal medicine specialist. Good day,
00:19:01doctor. Good day to you. When joints start to
00:19:04limit walking, climbing stairs,
00:19:07getting up, it is important to understand what is happening in the body,
00:19:11a joint is not just a bone, its work involves cartilage, synovial
00:19:14fluid, ligaments, tendons, muscles and
00:19:18connective tissue. When we talk about joints,
00:19:21the use of turmeric and its effect
00:19:24on reducing pain and inflammation is often mentioned.
00:19:28How to use turmeric as a spice or
00:19:32as a supplement? Turmeric contains curcuminoids, among
00:19:34which curcumin is the most famous. When we use
00:19:38spices, the amount of these compounds depends on the amount we
00:19:41added to food and is very rarely completely insufficient. In supplements,
00:19:45the extract is concentrated and
00:19:48standardized, which is why turmeric in food and curcumin
00:19:51in a capsule are absolutely not the same thing. If we want
00:19:55a more serious therapeutic effect, just turmeric as a spice
00:19:58is not enough, and it is better to choose a quality
00:20:02supplement. My recommendation is BMT curcumin.
00:20:04BMT curcumin is microencapsulated, meaning the active
00:20:08ingredient is protected and this technology ensures
00:20:11better absorption in the body.
00:20:15Absorption is one of the biggest challenges with
00:20:18curcumin. The composition contains piperine, which is added
00:20:22precisely to further enhance its role in
00:20:24absorption. In other words, the goal is not just to ingest
00:20:28curcumin, but for the body to utilize it as much as
00:20:31possible, which is truly possible with this
00:20:34formula. And dear viewers, curcumin is
00:20:37needed by all of you who experience swelling, inflammation or
00:20:41pain in bones and joints, for,
00:20:43that is, for reduced mobility, pain or inflammation in
00:20:47muscles, for bad bones, osteoporosis, arthritis,

00:21:4520 years ago, several parents started an
00:21:49initiative with a clear goal. The goal was for children and people with Down syndrome to get
00:21:52an opportunity for education, development, equal participation
00:21:55in society. Today, the association "Life with Down Syndrome Federation of Bosnia
00:21:59and Herzegovina" celebrates two decades of work and results that are
00:22:03measured in thousands of hours of support to families, development
00:22:06of inclusive education, employment and the fight for systemic
00:22:10changes. The jubilee is marked by a report on social impact,
00:22:13a large public installation, benches that tell a story of inclusion,
00:22:17theater performances and artistic programs that remind us that
00:22:20inclusion is not a privilege,
00:22:22but
00:22:2520 years, but what challenges still face people with Down
00:22:28syndrome and their families, next I will talk to Sevdija
00:22:32Kujović, president of the association "Life with Down Syndrome Federation of Bosnia and
00:22:36Herzegovina", good morning, welcome, thank you for being with us this morning, good morning and thank
00:22:40you for the invitation, congratulations for this jubilee, two decades, truly
00:22:44a great success and it took perseverance all these years, as you
00:22:47said earlier, always with... "the love of children
00:22:51and everything you did, you did it for them and because of them and they
00:22:55didn't let you give up, that's right, exactly, their needs,
00:22:59their growth, opening
00:23:01new areas where
00:23:05a solution to their needs should have been
00:23:08offered, somehow constantly demanded
00:23:12from us this learning
00:23:15growth and thinking and searching
00:23:19for solutions, so really a lot of activities that are
00:23:23on the track of actually making them, when they
00:23:26grow up, actually equal, more independent, we are not saying that
00:23:30they can always be independent, that they can live independently,
00:23:33but everything that means support for
00:23:36their quality independent life is something we
00:23:40strive for, right? so much work for
00:23:43us, there will still be a lot, unfortunately, 20
00:23:47years is a big jubilee, as I said, when you look back at the
00:23:50beginnings of the association, mm
00:23:53and look at everything that followed after
00:23:57those beginnings, what are you
00:23:58most proud of?
00:24:03for some it might be little, but for us it was huge, this
00:24:06enrollment, this learning
00:24:09with peers, that was somehow the most important thing for us
00:24:13then, many doors were closed, so
00:24:16kindergartens, schools were not available to children with
00:24:20disabilities to the extent they are today,
00:24:23today we have fewer situations where children are
00:24:26rejected, but we have the issue of quality,
00:24:30so that's what we still need to
00:24:33work on,
00:24:35uh, their successes, so what they themselves
00:24:38achieve, is something we are
00:24:41proud of, because everything we have done, what families do
00:24:45and all those who surround and support a person with Down
00:24:48syndrome, I think are... "proud of those
00:24:51moments of their successes, well, that's how I would
00:24:54put it, so when you started working in 2006,
00:24:58it sounds so far away and when you say it,
00:25:02the position of people with Down syndrome was significantly worse
00:25:05than it is today, the mere fact that you say
00:25:08that the doors of kindergartens were practically
00:25:12closed or even the doors of schools, that is,
00:25:15there was no inclusion to the extent it is today, although even today
00:25:19it is not enough, how did families function then at all, how much
00:25:23harder was it in practice and,
00:25:25uh, what stories were you
00:25:29confronted with then, can you give us some examples that best
00:25:33illustrate those situations, for example, one mother, one family changed
00:25:36three schools so that the third one would give the green
00:25:40light for a girl with Down syndrome to enroll, that's how it
00:25:44was then, so,
00:25:46the struggle was literally for every child, mm...
00:25:50"today, I say, it's not like that, but -
00:25:53what we wanted, we somehow received
00:25:57guidelines, or rather, we were directed towards special schools,
00:26:00of course, their education was not denied
00:26:03generally, but we were directed towards
00:26:07special schools, but we then felt that it was not
00:26:10the right place for them, somehow we
00:26:13quickly connected with European organizations and
00:26:17very quickly we became a member of the European Down Syndrome Association
00:26:21ECE, which was somehow a source of information for us, and
00:26:24they already had thirty years of fighting
00:26:28for the inclusion of people with Down syndrome, so we saw
00:26:32from them that inclusion, or rather inclusive
00:26:35education, I won't say it's a cure, but it's truly
00:26:38the only area in" in which they can really
00:26:42develop, learn,
00:26:45how it is best for them. So, somewhere
00:26:49the greatest successes were actually with their
00:26:52members, people with Down syndrome, who were precisely those who
00:26:56completed regular, that is, inclusive education, which means
00:26:59that it is stimulating, that peers from...
00:27:02learning are also for them, that peer support is something that
00:27:06makes them happy, that they need that feeling of belonging
00:27:09to all the others, right? So,
00:27:12somehow these were actually the
00:27:16things that nourished us
00:27:18and somehow, well, we started with that,
00:27:22and the struggle arose precisely for that
00:27:26reason, so we only wanted regular school, regular
00:27:29kindergartens, and now we wanted an open labor market.
00:27:33And we showed that it is possible, it is difficult, there are
00:27:36many barriers, there are many involved people, involved
00:27:40institutions with whom one needs to work, animate,
00:27:43encourage, and that actually
00:27:46young people with Down syndrome should be in the open labor
00:27:49market,
00:27:51so I want to say that it's all, as I said at
00:27:55the beginning, their needs to live life, just like
00:27:59all of us, were actually our guiding principle. Now, as those
00:28:02needs opened up for them,
00:28:06those barriers in front of them, of course, all of us families together, all of
00:28:10us all together,
00:28:14have been with us from the very beginning and support us,
00:28:17partner organizations,
00:28:20believed in us and somehow were, let's say, on our side
00:28:24and, well, how much they
00:28:28start that story all
00:28:31this is not the story of one association, definitely, this
00:28:35is the story of the community, so
00:28:38that it will continue so that all those who
00:28:41have a certain role,
00:28:45have, actually
00:28:48contribute to this whole story being
00:28:52completed. When we talk about employing people with
00:28:55Down syndrome, what examples can you give there? You
00:28:59say that there has been some positive...
00:29:02progress, but I believe it can always be
00:29:06and Herzegovina. What
00:29:10for which here
00:29:13in our country there is understanding and doors are opening
00:29:16for people with Down syndrome? Well, eight
00:29:19years ago, a company
00:29:22expressed interest, one company expressed interest in employing
00:29:26a person with Down syndrome, and it happened. That company
00:29:29continued that practice of employing people with Down syndrome. So, that was
00:29:33an initial, how can I say, a capsule, an
00:29:37initial, one, one, one source
00:29:40of encouragement that it's possible, and so that was
00:29:43actually an incentive for us to work with
00:29:47other companies. However, the issue of employing people with Down
00:29:50syndrome in the open labor market is not just a matter
00:29:54of companies and employers who will be ready,
00:29:57so it's a much broader story. Preparation
00:30:00is very comprehensive.
00:30:03Several, how can I say, perhaps individuals
00:30:06and institutions, starting from education. So, if we don't have
00:30:09education that prepares a young person for
00:30:12the labor market, then we have to
00:30:16uh supplement those necessary skills and knowledge. That's the
00:30:19preparation of young people. So, we generally do that through
00:30:23our programs, where it is actually
00:30:26a segment of, uh, how can I say, preparation,
00:30:29somehow -
00:30:32assessment of which job or which
00:30:35activity is the one that best suits that young person.
00:30:39In that direction, somehow positions have mostly
00:30:42in administration.
00:30:46That somehow suits them. Uh, so we started having,
00:30:50for example, the first public institution, namely the municipality of Centar, which
00:30:53employed a person with Down syndrome. The Federal Ministry of Culture
00:30:57and Sports employed a person with disabilities.
