00:03:02The Trade Union of Employees in Health Care of Sarajevo Canton
00:03:05held protests this morning in front of the Cantonal Government, demanding
00:03:08urgent amendments to the collective agreement, as well
00:03:12as the initiation of negotiations for a new agreement that would
00:03:14define a salary increase for all healthcare employees. Here is
00:03:18a report from the scene.
00:03:21The protests of the health workers' union in Sarajevo Canton, which
00:03:25started this morning at 10 AM in front of the government building, ended
00:03:29at 11 AM. They expressed their dissatisfaction
00:03:33with the negotiations for a new collective agreement, stating that
00:03:36the minister betrayed their trust, even though he enjoyed
00:03:40significant trust. They point out that they had good cooperation with
00:03:43him, but what happened, as they state, is that
00:03:47the coefficient increase was approved for only one
00:03:50union, not theirs. In the past period, we negotiated for
00:03:54changes to the collective agreement, and we
00:03:57concluded that with the relevant ministry, the government's negotiating team, and the
00:04:00Health Insurance Institute. However, a situation occurred where the relevant
00:04:04minister, in mediation, granted a more favorable right to one group of service
00:04:08jobs. That is why we are here today, we want this to be corrected urgently,
00:04:12and for the cantonal government to make a decision today for us to proceed with
00:04:15amendments to the current collective agreement and to
00:04:19approve negotiations for a new collective agreement. We must
00:04:22not allow this for other healthcare
00:04:25workers, our colleagues, our
00:04:28doctors, I... it is clear that they must have
00:04:31a salary increase, and we absolutely support that in every
00:04:34sense, because they are part of our collective agreement, but
00:04:37also the other members, members
00:04:40of the union, healthcare employees must have
00:04:44a salary increase. Representatives of the trade unions, as well as the Ministry
00:04:47of Health of Sarajevo Canton, hope that the Cantonal Government
00:04:51of Sarajevo will accept the minister's proposal for the continuation of negotiations
00:04:54on a new collective agreement, and the minister announced that
00:04:58everyone's coefficient will be increased by
00:05:010.3%, but only from January of next
00:05:04year. We have absolutely shown so far that we have
00:05:07increased everyone's salaries and we support that. Next
00:05:10year, negotiations for a new collective agreement
00:05:13will certainly begin as this collective agreement ends. All three unions will lead the negotiations and
00:05:17what was told to the presidents of all three unions, sometime last summer,
00:05:20June and July, in all future negotiations, we will work on
00:05:24coefficients, increasing coefficients and
00:05:27no longer the hourly rate. Everyone in this mandate
00:05:30received an increase of somewhere between 50 and
00:05:3460%, and the lowest categories with the lowest
00:05:37incomes somewhere around 80%, taking into
00:05:40account the increase in the minimum wage. which they did not have, and this
00:05:44coefficient of 0.2 for 10 or more years of service, which will be from January
00:05:481st, we absolutely support it. We have shown and
00:05:51will show all healthcare
00:05:54workers and all healthcare workers and
00:05:57but we demand, of course, and we have always demanded that they show that through
00:06:01satisfaction. They have the highest salary growth of all other
00:06:04categories in Sarajevo Canton, that they show that
00:06:08in their attitude towards patients and towards all others, that we will support
00:06:11their demands, but there is no discrimination here. We signed with
00:06:15one professional union that represents
00:06:18exclusively that category, with nurses, and we signed for nurses, with
00:06:21this general union, we sign for everyone as we have done so far, all
00:06:25amendments and all collective agreements and all amendments have been signed with
00:06:29the union of employees in healthcare, and I think that
00:06:33they should really be satisfied because we have increased their salaries all this time
00:06:36and we will continue to do so. The gathered union members announced that they will
00:06:40not give up, that they will persevere in their struggle. And already today
00:06:43they announced a protest march which should be held
00:06:46next week. Fedža Kulina, N1,
00:06:50Sarajevo.
00:06:59After the October elections, in which SDA and SDP won an equal
00:07:03number of mandates, questions about the future government in Sarajevo
00:07:06Canton, possible coalitions at higher levels, as well as the SDP's responsibility for
00:07:10the election result, and upcoming internal party changes were raised. With Davor
00:07:14Čičić, a representative in the Sarajevo Cantonal Assembly, we are discussing
00:07:18who has the majority today, can Sarajevo get a new government, are SDA
00:07:22and SDP getting closer at higher levels, and what future
00:07:25awaits SDP? Good day first of all, welcome. Good day to you and to all our viewers who are
00:07:29watching us. Before we move on to these uh political topics from
00:07:33the announcement, I would like to go back a little to the report from today's protest
00:07:37in front of the Sarajevo Cantonal Government.
00:07:40Is there money in the cantonal budget for the requested salary increases
00:07:44today? Well, first of all, if you give me a minute, since it was
00:07:47your N1 television's birthday the other day, I wish
00:07:51you and all your colleagues a happy birthday and a successful
00:07:54continuation of your work. As for
00:07:58uh these, so to speak, negotiations and today's
00:08:02protests regarding healthcare workers in Sarajevo
00:08:05Canton, we, as the SDP, absolutely support all the rights
00:08:08of the trade unions to express their opinion, and I think that we, in
00:08:11the past period, while we were in power, mm,
00:08:15tried to be a good partner to all trade unions, not only
00:08:19healthcare unions, but all other trade unions in Sarajevo Canton. I think we will
00:08:23continue in that direction. Also, for
00:08:26the sake of truth, uh let's go back a little,
00:08:30we must understand that in this mandate in which
00:08:33we were in power, uh the salaries of healthcare workers, in this
00:08:37specific case, is a period in which the salaries of healthcare workers have grown
00:08:40the most, yes, but obviously.
00:08:42Even
00:08:4550% uh in the basic salary increased over the past four
00:08:49years. Of course, there will be people who will say prices have also increased, inflation
00:08:53has increased, but when you take some cumulative inflation for this
00:08:56period mm and compare how much salaries have grown,
00:08:59salaries have still grown more than that cumulative
00:09:03inflation. I think that is positive, that we need to strengthen our healthcare
00:09:07sector. Look at the salaries of our healthcare workers in Sarajevo
00:09:10Canton compared to other cantons. Compared to the rest of
00:09:14the entire BiH, you can see
00:09:17the direction in which the SDP led this ministry, and I
00:09:21think that Enis Hasanović, who is the minister, and the previous minister Haris Franić, did a
00:09:25very good job in the Ministry of
00:09:28Health. Now, uh this is one union
00:09:32of healthcare workers that came out to protest. We need to know that in
00:09:35the canton we have more unions representing healthcare
00:09:38workers, and this probably happened because...
00:09:42"I think probably, that's what the union representatives say, because one
00:09:45union received an increase, and the other didn't. I think
00:09:49that's the cause. Whenever multiple unions
00:09:52negotiate, one always gets more, there will always be reasons for some other
00:09:56union to complain that they haven't achieved all their
00:09:59rights. Perhaps the right way is for these unions to unite and negotiate
00:10:03together on all the rights of all healthcare workers, because it is obvious that this
00:10:07way someone will always be, so to speak, dissatisfied. Does
00:10:11there appear to be money for salaries?" Healthcare workers in Sarajevo Canton are paid
00:10:14by the Health Insurance Institute, that is perhaps
00:10:17a question for the director of the Health
00:10:20Insurance Institute, but I think that these demands of the union should be
00:10:24taken seriously and an attempt should be made to find some compromise, to try to talk to
00:10:28the unions and find a method to
00:10:32meet them halfway so that people are at least
00:10:35somewhat satisfied, because as I say, it is difficult to meet everyone's needs so that everyone is
00:10:39100% satisfied, but here , given all these events,
00:10:42mm I think we should
00:10:45talk and try to find some common
00:10:48ground. This new government that is being announced will certainly have a lot of work to do and
00:10:52will certainly. "This task awaits,
00:10:55definitely." Faruk Kapidžić from SDA says today, I will be
00:10:59the prime minister of Sarajevo Canton and we have problems with water to
00:11:03solve. These water problems somehow surfaced exactly during
00:11:06the election campaign and have lasted quite
00:11:09a long time, something that this previous government,
00:11:13of which you were a part, apparently didn't
00:11:16deal with. It caught up with you at the
00:11:20very end, so let me comment
00:11:23on that. In a way, perhaps the situation in public utilities was
00:11:27decisive in the "troika" not being the absolute winner of these elections in this cycle. I think
00:11:31all of us, when we talk, must admit where we made mistakes, not just where we
00:11:35did things well.
00:11:38In any case, I would like, if you give me space, to
00:11:42highlight the result of the SDP in Sarajevo Canton. We were in power, as you
00:11:46say, and we went from six representatives to nine
00:11:49parliamentary seats. Also, in the Federation, as far as Sarajevo Canton is concerned, from
00:11:53this electoral unit, we went from two to three and defended our mandate, but
00:11:57the coalition capacity is what it is. That is also
00:12:01true, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank
00:12:04all the people who voted for the SDP in Sarajevo
00:12:08Canton, and all our members and sympathizers, and all those who on
00:12:12the ground influenced and worked for the SDP Sarajevo to achieve
00:12:15such a result, and it is certainly the result of people who
00:12:19recognized the work of this SDP in Sarajevo
00:12:21Canton to get
00:12:2550% more mandates, so to speak, in the period
00:12:28after you were in power, and it is a really great success and such
00:12:32cases rarely happen, so I say we cannot look at everything
00:12:35negatively. We conducted a dignified campaign. I
00:12:41that campaign, we only talked about work, about everything we did
00:12:44and what we achieved, we did not engage in slandering and
00:12:48insulting others, mm, while they
00:12:51did that every day through all possible channels that were available to them
00:12:55against us, and that's why I'm even more proud and this result
00:12:59makes it even better and even greater. Were there mistakes?
00:13:02Yes, there were in the coalition, in everything, we must draw conclusions
00:13:06from what the citizens told us and in the future
00:13:10try to correct these things and of course the result
00:13:13would certainly be much better for us, the coalition,
00:13:17if those things, especially regarding public
00:13:21utilities, had been done better than they were. I will return to this message.
00:13:25Faruk Kapidžić says, I will be prime minister. Some claim that the
00:13:28government in the canton can be formed quickly. You say that there could
00:13:31be blockades in that process. If a majority
00:13:34exists, uh, what is actually the problem in forming
00:13:38a government? Uh, I don't know
00:13:41what the nervousness of these ruling, so to speak, this
00:13:44majority that is not yet ruling, but here
00:13:47this majority that came out itself and said it had 18 hands,
00:13:51meaning the election results, the constitution and law, the rules of procedure
00:13:55of the assembly say that whoever has a majority of representatives can form
00:13:59a government, that is democracy. We respect
00:14:02these conditions and we respect that and in any case, we
00:14:06congratulate them on that result and wish them to take power as soon as possible
00:14:10to show all that they know and what they said
00:14:13during the campaign, all that negative, so to speak, campaign
00:14:17that went against the troika and what they criticized, to show how they can do
00:14:20it better. From that side, I say, I would like them to take
00:14:24responsibility as soon as possible, not just the story
00:14:27they told for the past four years. On the other hand, what
00:14:31you point out, also the election result, the constitution and
00:14:33laws of this country say that
00:14:37the SDP and the "troika" parties will have a majority in
00:14:40the leadership of the Cantonal Assembly of Sarajevo, i.e., in three
00:14:43out of four clubs of the people,
00:14:46the "troika" parties, first of all the SDP, will have a majority
00:14:50and will be able to elect their members to the leadership of the Assembly.
00:14:53Now what happens next? So first, when the Assembly is established, when
00:14:57the Assembly is formed, when the representatives take an oath, take
00:15:01mm their mandates, the first thing that is done according to the constitution, not only of Sarajevo Canton
00:15:05but also the constitution of the Federation, is the establishment of clubs of the people
00:15:08uh in the assembly. These clubs
00:15:11of the people, based on the number of people elected to those clubs
00:15:15of the people, themselves choose who will be in the leadership
00:15:18of the assembly, who will represent those people in the leadership of the assembly, mm.
00:15:22After that, when those clubs of the people are elected, it goes to
00:15:26confirmation in the assembly, i.e. that majority of
00:15:2918 representatives must confirm the four
00:15:32members of the assembly leadership. That is the key, meaning there
00:15:35is the first, first blockade. In case this
00:15:39majority that presented itself does not confirm the assembly
00:15:42leadership, then we come to a blockade of the assembly, paralysis
00:15:46of the assembly. Can the process be returned to the beginning
00:15:48or uh when we talk about the election
00:15:52of the assembly leadership, why would it be returned? The clubs of the people,
00:15:56which is their constitutional right, decide who will be their representative. Why would the
00:15:59process be returned? Why can some majority
00:16:03influence the will of the clubs of the people in representing them in
00:16:07the assembly leadership? So we respect the majority
00:16:10of representatives who have seats in the Sarajevo Canton Assembly. Likewise,
00:16:14the election result should be respected, which states
00:16:17that the SDP, together with its partners, the parties of
00:16:21the "troika", have a majority in the leadership of the Assembly. I don't know why there is
00:16:25such nervousness and why it is such a
00:16:28problematic issue. Now, if that
00:16:31leadership of the assembly is not confirmed, it leads to
00:16:34paralysis and blockade of the assembly. This further prevents
00:16:38the further election of that new government of Sarajevo Canton, and also
00:16:42prevents the election of delegates to the House of Peoples
00:16:45of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I heard a dangerous thing last night
00:16:49that Mr. Efendić said on
00:16:53a portal which says: "Here, we will block it, we don't
00:16:57like that assembly leadership." First, who is the party president to like
00:17:00who those people from those clubs of the people
00:17:04even chose as their representative? So if
00:17:07that means that party representatives should choose who those clubs of the people will choose?
00:17:11And the second thing he said was, "Well, we will then block it, we will not
00:17:14elect that assembly leadership, i.e. we will block the canton,
00:17:17we will block the election of their new government, we will block
00:17:21everything that happens in the canton, even the budgets,
00:17:25mm, all so that they don't elect delegates to the House of Peoples
00:17:29of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina from Sarajevo Canton. Do you know what that
00:17:32means? That for the first time
00:17:35uh, so to speak, since the establishment of the canton, Sarajevo Canton would not have
00:17:39its representatives in the House of Peoples of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:17:43because then, after the expiration of 30 days, the representatives from other
00:17:46cantons would be elected, meaning what are they willing
00:17:49to do to get their positions, their positions,
00:17:53so as not to elect representatives of the citizens of Sarajevo Canton from Sarajevo Canton to the House
00:17:56of Peoples of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but
00:17:59here, just one more thing, just let me tell you,
00:18:03so Mr. Efendić does not know the constitution
00:18:06of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Read
00:18:09Article 8 of the Constitution of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which clearly states that from
00:18:13each canton, at least one member, at least one member
00:18:17of Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats, and others must be
00:18:20elected, if that person is elected to the Cantonal
00:18:23Assembly of Sarajevo. So by that blockade, he will not gain anything, that will fall,
00:18:27meaning, a House of Peoples will be formed up there without
00:18:30representatives from Sarajevo Canton, and the first appeal to the Constitutional
00:18:33Court will cause that House of Peoples which was formed
00:18:36to fall before the Constitutional Court, and you know what happens then,
00:18:40meaning, the federal government cannot be formed either, this
00:18:44federal government will remain in a technical mandate until those issues are
00:18:47resolved, but I believe that such an approach is very dangerous,
00:18:51meaning the derogation of the constitution and
00:18:54the will of the people who, by that
00:18:57constitution, received the right to elect their representatives. But let's
00:19:01assume hypothetically that the assembly confirms
00:19:04those who are elected by the clubs of
00:19:07the people in the Sarajevo Canton Assembly. How does the
00:19:10procedure then go? Who actually proposes the prime minister-designate?
00:19:14The prime minister-designate, so when those four in
00:19:17the leadership of the assembly are elected, they decide among themselves who will be the president of the assembly,
00:19:20by consensus or, uh, it says
00:19:23in the constitution that they decide, so it doesn't say by consensus, so whoever has
00:19:27the majority will choose one of those
00:19:30four will choose the president,
00:19:33i.e., the new president of the Cantonal Assembly, and that
00:19:36president of the Cantonal Assembly
00:19:39should give the mandate, in consultation
00:19:42with the other members of that leadership,
00:19:46to whoever brings 18 signatures of representatives,
00:19:49i.e., the majority that proves with those signatures
00:19:53that they have a majority in the Sarajevo Canton Assembly. In this case, those three
00:19:57clubs of representatives who
00:20:00have come out and said they have those 18 hands, uh, so
00:20:04the constitution also clearly states.
00:20:08So the president gives the mandate to the prime minister-designate
00:20:11in consultation with his
00:20:14deputies. That's what it says, period. It doesn't say anything
00:20:18more, and the same in the assembly's rules of procedure, but you know what that means, those
00:20:22consultations, what do consultations mean? Those consultations can
00:20:25last two days, four days, three
00:20:28months, four years, consultations can last. I will ask you, can you
00:20:32guarantee the citizens of Sarajevo Canton, that the SDP
00:20:35specifically will not use its position in the leadership of the assembly
00:20:38of the Canton to challenge or prevent the formation
00:20:41of the SDP has always respected the constitution and laws
00:20:45of this country. You will remember, I will take you back a little
00:20:48bit, just so that... "because it is a very similar
00:20:51situation, meaning in 2014, when
00:20:55Prime Minister Fadil Novalić was elected, when the federal
00:20:58government was to be formed, the SDP, which was then supposed to become
00:21:01the opposition, gave its signatures in the House
00:21:04of Peoples, so that Mr. Dunović,
00:21:06who was the Vice President of the Federation from the Serb
00:21:10people, could be elected. He later participated in the election of
00:21:14Mr. Fadil Novalić as the Prime Minister of the Government. If the SDP
00:21:17had not given its signatures then, a blockade would have occurred
00:21:21and the government of the then Prime Minister and current Prime Minister Nermin Nikšić would have remained
00:21:25in a technical mandate for the next four years, meaning
00:21:27the SDP did not block the processes
00:21:31in, well, the Federation. Those
00:21:34who are now accusing us of wanting to
00:21:37block something, you know why they are doing that,
00:21:41because they would certainly block us, the "troika", if the
00:21:44positions were reversed, if we had the majority, if they had the assembly leadership. I
00:21:48guarantee you that they would block us. And why? Because four years ago
00:21:52mm, through Mr. Lendo, they blocked
00:21:55the election of the federal government, in a way
00:21:58that that federal government, which had a majority in the
00:22:02House of Representatives and the House of Peoples, could not be formed
00:22:05due to, uh, so to speak, Mr. Lendo's veto.
00:22:08Now they tell us it's not the same because
00:22:12there, in the Federation, there is a bicameral system, while in Sarajevo
00:22:16Canton there is a unicameral system. But I ask you, from what, sir?
00:22:20Lendo then, and now, draws his legitimacy to do
00:22:23that. Who elected him? He was elected by
00:22:26delegates from the House of Peoples of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Where were those delegates from the House
00:22:30of Peoples elected? In the clubs of the people
00:22:33of each assembly of all 10 cantons. So he
00:22:36draws his legitimacy from the same club of the people from which
00:22:40that representative of the assembly leadership, who will be
00:22:43the representative of the people in that assembly, draws legitimacy. That is the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I may
00:22:47like it or not like it. I may like the election results or not like
00:22:51them, but that's how it is written, and everything
00:22:54else that is done outside of that is a derogation of the Constitution
00:22:58of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Federation, and Sarajevo Canton. I tell you that the
00:23:01SDP will respect the constitutions and laws, and to whoever
00:23:05brings the majority, we will... I will ask you
00:23:08specifically, Mr. Čičić, is the SDP using this position
00:23:12to somehow ensure its survival, eventually, in
00:23:15the cantonal government, uh, that is, to find its
00:23:19place in the new majority in this specific case? Do you see yourself as part of that
00:23:23majority? In this specific case, we do not see ourselves. So, with this
00:23:26approach to forming this government, we do not
00:23:29see ourselves. So we only want what is our election
00:23:33result, to reap the benefits. Will this coalition, which is now gathered,
00:23:37seek some other option in the future,
00:23:40but in this way, as it has started here
00:23:44in Sarajevo Canton, where you are witnesses, for the past, I
00:23:47think, month, whichever television you turn on,
00:23:51podcast, these representatives of this, this other "troika",
00:23:54the fake "troika", are jumping out of all possible media and
00:23:58saying how they, poor things, have 18 votes, but some
00:24:02evil SDP will block them, so they don't know what
00:24:05to do now. So the SDP, as I told you,
00:24:08has not blocked anyone throughout all these years, and will not
00:24:12block them, but it is that position, so no one
00:24:15even asked the SDP what it thought of that position, so they came out themselves
00:24:19and said that we will... we will block something, no one asked us anything about it, nor did we
00:24:23give our statements because we believed that until the final
00:24:26election results are announced, who got how many mandates, because there were many
00:24:30you were witnesses, there were many borderline mandates, it was not even exactly known
00:24:34how many mandates each would get, we believed that it was not
00:24:37serious to come out before everything was finally
00:24:41tallied, the votes, until the mandates were assigned, to
00:24:45come out with our visions of how it will be,
00:24:48but if... "The coalition of SDP with SDA is unacceptable in
00:24:52Sarajevo Canton, why is this combination increasingly mentioned,
00:24:56in the corridors, at higher levels, allegedly at the state level, and
00:24:59perhaps even at the federal level,
00:25:02uh, well, probably because mathematics shows that these would be
00:25:06the most stable governments, when you take
00:25:10the number of representatives in the state parliament and the federal
00:25:13parliament in Sarajevo Canton,
00:25:16uh, when you talk to your colleagues from the party leadership..." What do they
00:25:20say, are they for that option, considering that the SDP had a coalition
00:25:24with the SDA once before and it seems that
00:25:27it didn't go so well after it, so
00:25:31I think that the president was also clear that the SDP will hold an extraordinary
00:25:34congress for every SDP member who attends that congress, every
00:25:38delegate to declare that the SDP as a party that is
00:25:41a serious party makes its stands on the issue of participation in government at any
00:25:45level, I can tell you my opinion, I cannot tell you the opinion that the Congress
00:25:49will determine, which will be determined by for example the main board, I think that the SDP
00:25:53should not be an appendage to any government anywhere,
00:25:56an appendage, but if we are to be an equal partner and if we are to be
00:26:00perceived as equal where we can influence some
00:26:03processes, uh, we need to talk about everything,
00:26:07you say, a decision will be made on that at the extraordinary congress,
00:26:11uh, there is increasingly talk about the need for change at the top
00:26:14of the SDP, we know that it was supposed to happen already in the year before the elections, but it didn't
00:26:18uh, will it,
00:26:20do you expect the SDP to conduct those elections in the coming period
00:26:24and get a new president? Well, it has been announced,
00:26:28so an extraordinary congress has been announced first, which should be held by the end of the year regarding...
00:26:33our highest participation in power and the direction in which the SDP wants to go in
00:26:36the next period, the next mandate, in
00:26:39spring, as announced at the previous congress, a congress
00:26:43should be held where delegates at the congress
00:26:46would declare a new president of the SDS,
00:26:49whom do you personally see as
00:26:52a contender for the position that now
00:26:55for some of my, so to speak,
00:26:59preferences and everything, there are many candidates and good ones. We have
00:27:02really strong personnel who have proven themselves in the previous
00:27:06period, probably in some period after, after these
00:27:09constitutive assemblies and governments, some
00:27:13candidates will probably emerge, but I wouldn't prioritize things now, I think that at this
00:27:17moment we have many more serious things that are important and
00:27:20for our citizens who have given us their trust to quickly
00:27:24constitute assemblies and parliaments, to quickly
00:27:27form governments, to continue the
00:27:29processes, even if the SDP is not part of that
00:27:33government, so that citizens have at least some security that those governments
00:27:37that will take over correspond to them and
00:27:41are responsible for all processes that occur at all levels of government. What
00:27:44will happen with the "troika"? If the SDP remains in opposition, is
00:27:47it possible for that coalition to survive, despite this
00:27:51political defeat in the elections? Well, we still have
00:27:55very correct, so to speak, cooperation and
00:27:58communication with all members of the "troika", of course we didn't
00:28:02always agree on everything when we were in power together, there were disagreements, there were
00:28:05some ideological
00:28:08and other things that we didn't agree on, but we
00:28:11always found a way to make a compromise so that some things we
00:28:15didn't agree on, we managed to push through in a way that
00:28:19everyone was at least somewhat satisfied,
00:28:23I think, if we stay together
00:28:26as an opposition, I don't see any reason why we wouldn't have some
00:28:30correct cooperation, especially in things we all
00:28:33think similarly about, now
00:28:37time will tell, you know what politics is like, many things
00:28:39play out before us, many things change, so
00:28:43I wouldn't rule out any options, but I say at
00:28:46this moment - considering how these political
00:28:49opponents approach us and where they, well, how they
00:28:53label us and say that we will block something, that no one asked us about it,
00:28:57I currently don't see any room for us
00:29:00to cooperate, I think it would be... human, you tell me, when they
00:29:04found out that they wouldn't have the leadership of the assembly,
00:29:08they could have come to talk, how can we all overcome this together,
00:29:12I asked you, you answered, the message went out to
00:29:15the public, thank you for being our guest and for the invitation, good
00:29:19luck. Davor Čičić, representative of the SDP of Bosnia and
00:29:22Herzegovina in the Sarajevo Canton Assembly was with us, we'll go to commercials briefly,
00:29:26then we'll go to Washington, stay with dan
00:29:28uživo.

00:29:42Tabaković is in excellent form, and new
00:29:45challenges await him, both at the club and national team
00:29:49level, how he explains his brilliant form and what is the reason
00:29:52for his impeccable fitness, how he almost
00:29:55became a banker instead of a footballer, and what he was looking for in
00:29:58the Swiss hotel in Zurich, how much the Bosnia
00:30:02and Herzegovina jersey means to him. About his club career, the Dragons, challenges
00:30:06and goals that are yet to come, the BiH representative

00:30:35you, in mind and body
00:30:38at every moment, I carry

00:30:52fabric softeners, a noticeably better choice.
00:30:56Why a three-seater when a more comfortable six-seater exists?
