00:00:26Dear viewers, good evening, objections to the legality of the evidence welcome to the news.
00:00:33Non-compliance with the visa regulations of the European Union is among the areas in which
00:00:36Bosnia and Herzegovina is lagging. The number of non-compliances has
00:00:40increased over the years. Could the visa-free regime for citizens of Bosnia and
00:00:44Herzegovina be jeopardized? We can expect it to be on the agenda.
00:00:47red.
00:00:51In tonight's news, watch these
00:00:53stories.
00:00:57What does the victory of the Democrats in the midterm elections in the USA mean for Bosnia and
00:01:01Herzegovina? Will lobbying for Dodik and the southern
00:01:04interconnection come under
00:01:05investigation?
00:01:09Health workers in Sarajevo Canton are dissatisfied with the salary increase,
00:01:13and they protested. Minister Hasanović rejects the accusations,
00:01:16stating that there is no discrimination.
00:01:19The situation occurred where the relevant minister, in reconciliation, granted
00:01:23more favorable rights to one group of service jobs. That's why we are here today.
00:01:27We want this to be corrected urgently. We will support their demands, but there is
00:01:31no
00:01:31discrimination here.
00:01:35Tear gas, water cannons, fierce clashes on French
00:01:38streets, riot police clashed with demonstrators in
00:01:42a new wave of unrest that has been shaking the country five months
00:01:45before the presidential
00:01:46elections.
00:01:50Tomorrow, mostly sunny weather, daily temperatures up to
00:01:5319 degrees in the south
00:01:55of the country.
00:02:01That Bosnia and Herzegovina is increasingly moving away from the European path,
00:02:04are messages echoing from Brussels. In addition to numerous areas in which
00:02:08it is lagging, no progress has been recorded in the area of visa
00:02:11policy, which Bosnia and Herzegovina needs to harmonize with
00:02:14the European Union. Can this cost us the visa-free regime with
00:02:18the Union?
00:02:22indications that Democrats will definitely push The main message of this year's report is
00:02:23unequivocal.
00:02:26European integration remains a strategic goal for Bosnia
00:02:30and Herzegovina, but at the same time, the country is increasingly moving away from its
00:02:34European path.
00:02:37The lack of progress has been recorded in the area of visa policy. Instead
00:02:41of the promised abolition of one visa-free regime annually in the
00:02:44period 2025- 27, to which Bosnia and
00:02:48Herzegovina committed itself, it extended the seasonal abolition of visas from
00:02:5130 to 60 days. Such moves of non-compliance with the visa
00:02:55policy of the European Union directly increase the risk of illegal
00:02:59migrations towards the bloc via the Western Balkan route,
00:03:02warn the Commission. What are the consequences? Can
00:03:05this jeopardize the visa-free regime with the Union? There is still no discussion
00:03:08about, therefore, no mention of concrete measures that
00:03:12would affect the eventual
00:03:15hindrance of entry for citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina into
00:03:19the European Union, given the fact that we have not harmonized the visa regime,
00:03:23but we can expect it to come on the agenda. I don't think
00:03:26that at this moment the visa regime
00:03:30with the European Union can be jeopardized, but that obligation
00:03:33certainly remains. We started something, but this year we have not
00:03:37fulfilled what was agreed. This year we must
00:03:40establish a visa regime with one more country. The European
00:03:44Commission reminds us that it demands that Bosnia and Herzegovina abolish visa-free regimes with
00:03:48Azerbaijan, Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, Russia, China, and
00:03:51Vanuatu, and to stop seasonal exemptions for
00:03:55citizens of Bahrain, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. At this
00:03:58moment, do we have, let's say, two easier countries, Azerbaijan and
00:04:02Qatar, for the next two years, or rather, if we fulfill them in this upcoming year, then
00:04:06the slightly more difficult ones will come later, like Montenegro, now successfully, China,
00:04:09Turkey, and Russia. When you introduce visas for citizens
00:04:13of these countries, on the other hand, you will gain access
00:04:16to some other countries, you are even more aligned because you become
00:04:19a full member. Most European Union countries have
00:04:22a visa-free regime with America. This is why the latest annual report
00:04:26of the European Commission brought Montenegro the best ratings in the last 20. three
00:04:30years, which, as stated, means the country made good progress in all
00:04:33negotiating chapters and entered the final phase of accession negotiations with
00:04:37the European Union. Tomorrow, it closes two more chapters. In the
00:04:41political structures of Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, there is no consensus on
00:04:44harmonizing visa policy with the European Union, because political representatives,
00:04:48partly from Republika Srpska, partly from Bosniak parties, oppose
00:04:52the introduction of visas for those countries with which Bosnia and Herzegovina cultivates close relations
00:04:56or economic interests. As we rejected two years ago,
00:05:00the request that Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:05:03introduce visas for Russian citizens, and that is
00:05:07something we will not allow, because without us that decision cannot be
00:05:11made at the level of Bosnia. Herzegovina, the European
00:05:14Union literally conditions the further path to
00:05:18the European Union with such decisions. And
00:05:21every day there's something new. Those familiar with the situation do not believe
00:05:24that established political views will drastically change with the formation of a new
00:05:28government at the state level. Dodik very clearly said for Russia, we have, of course,
00:05:31this from Bosniak parties all for
00:05:35Turkey, the Middle East, those countries. You will recall the statements in this
00:05:38previous mandate of the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was very open.
00:05:43He propagated, in fact, the non-fulfillment of this obligation
00:05:46due to the importance of tourists coming, especially from Middle
00:05:50Eastern countries. So, these are countries that are on the list
00:05:54for the visa regime required by the European Union. After the elections,
00:05:57it is necessary to make a turnaround in fulfilling reforms, which are a condition for Bosnia and
00:06:01Herzegovina's membership, are messages from Brussels. However, fewer and fewer
00:06:04people believe this, especially when comparing the progress with other candidate
00:06:08countries that are negotiating the completion of the process, while Bosnia and
00:06:12Herzegovina still needs to show that it can ensure
00:06:15its actual start. Tatjana Drljić,
00:06:18N1.
00:06:27At the same time, the European Union is investing 2 million euros through the
00:06:31Lorai project to help local authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina develop
00:06:34appropriate mechanisms for using European funds and implementing
00:06:38and monitoring reforms on the ground, said the Head of the European Union Delegation to our country.
00:06:42country, Luigi Soreka. Soreka participated in the fourth meeting
00:06:46of the Working Group for Relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina at the European Committee
00:06:50of the Regions, which was held in Travnik, where the role of
00:06:53local and regional authorities in the process of European
00:06:57integration was discussed. He emphasized that European integration directly affects
00:07:00the daily lives of citizens and that its effects
00:07:04are particularly visible at the local
00:07:06level.
00:07:09The goal, of course, is to strengthen these relations between
00:07:12state, entity, cantonal,
00:07:16and local levels with the European
00:07:19Union precisely to ensure that citizens
00:07:22can make their contribution through
00:07:26their representatives. In this
00:07:29sense, there is also an entire
00:07:32project, or rather, a program of so-called local
00:07:36observatories, valued at 2
00:07:39million euros, which is intended to help this
00:07:42participation and engagement
00:07:46of citizens.
00:07:49The idea through the initiative made by the Federation of Municipalities and Cities
00:07:53of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina goes in two directions: the first direction is
00:07:57that financial instruments are created
00:08:00on two tracks, as I would say: one track that goes
00:08:04normally for strategic projects, and one easier track where
00:08:08local communities could get funds more quickly and efficiently
00:08:11to facilitate such an approach. When we build
00:08:15that regional water supply, there will still be water losses, and for example, we can
00:08:18solve these water losses through these
00:08:21smaller, shall I say, parallel track that will strengthen such
00:08:24a project. That project is recognized
00:08:28in Chapter Three of the growth
00:08:32plan, it seems, and it is very important, as Ambassador
00:08:35Soreka said, that now financing will go directly
00:08:39related to these development strategies, not to projects that
00:08:42someone likes in one way or another.
00:08:44način.
00:08:47Milorad Dodik informed the public today that he arrived in Mar-a-Lago in
00:08:50Palm Beach, where he is participating in a conference organized within
00:08:54the Republican MAGA movement. While he publishes
00:08:57pictures and videos, analysts warn that investigations in
00:09:00Congress into Dodik's actions are now
00:09:03certain. After the takeover of power under the scrutiny of Democrats, the southern
00:09:07interconnection could be under scrutiny.
00:09:10What is changing for Bosnia and Herzegovina?
00:09:12Jasmin Mujanović says that Dodik's case could soon come
00:09:16before the American Congress. Of course, Congress cannot
00:09:19define or change US sanctions
00:09:22policy, but it can make that,
00:09:26i.e., those specific circumstances in which the lifting of sanctions
00:09:30for Dodik's midler happened, into a rather painful political issue
00:09:34for this administration. Sanctions that
00:09:38included asset freezes and a visa ban were imposed by
00:09:41the Barack Obama administration in 2017 due to
00:09:44undermining the constitutional order. The Biden administration further
00:09:48strengthened them five years later, accusing Dodik
00:09:51of corruption. The sanctions were lifted in October
00:09:542025, after the National Assembly of Republika
00:09:58Srpska withdrew part of the unconstitutional laws, even though those laws had already been declared
00:10:02invalid by a decision of the Constitutional Court. Democrats in
00:10:05Congress will later claim that this move was behind
00:10:09a million-dollar deal with the southern interconnection, which Dodik had
00:10:12obstructed, and which is consequently mentioned in the recently
00:10:15presented report "Pay for Play in the
00:10:18Balkans".
00:10:20released today also finds that the trump administration used
00:10:24to
00:10:55which will later turn into a discussion about Donald Trump's business interests
00:10:59in the Balkans. Is the election of the ambassador now becoming
00:11:02uncertain? No comment. But the company
00:11:05AFS, which invests in the southern interconnection, says that the outcome
00:11:08of the American elections is irrelevant. Investors were decided by the authorities
00:11:12of Bosnia and Herzegovina. So, our business has nothing to do
00:11:16with or is affected by the elections in the United States.
00:11:20There are, so to speak, no problems at all
00:11:23for now, nor any negative things
00:11:27regarding a possible change of government.
00:11:30We do everything in accordance with the law on southern interconnection. But let's go back to
00:11:34Milorad Dodik and the authorities of Republika Srpska, who have invested
00:11:38millions in recent months for lobbying. What the victory of the Democrats
00:11:41means for SNSD, Željka Cvijanović did not specifically
00:11:45answer. And we cannot escape the fact that in America, in both
00:11:49chambers, namely Congress and the House of Representatives in the Senate,
00:11:52you now have a new political situation. You cannot escape the fact that
00:11:56the President of America firmly holds in his hands
00:11:59various supreme. Analysts
00:12:03agree that the change in the balance of power in Congress could hinder
00:12:07Trump's actions, but also automatically change American foreign
00:12:10policy, which has remained on the path of sovereignty and integrity
00:12:14of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but above all, economic interests.
00:12:18Democrats have already announced that Congress will have that role
00:12:21of observer.
00:12:24Various types
00:12:27of investigations will be conducted into what Trump's administration did, including in
00:12:30Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Balkans. So, if you take into account in
00:12:34such a saturated media space as
00:12:37the American one, that Milorad Dodik managed to become
00:12:41one of the topics in Washington a few weeks ago due to a scandal, these are all
00:12:47for an investigation. Apart from Sabina Ćudić, there are no
00:12:51political reactions to the majority won by the Democratic Party in Sarajevo.
00:12:54Reacting to the elections, the president of our party
00:12:58said that it was an opportunity that must not be missed,
00:13:01and that the steps being taken will soon be visible. She did not clarify
00:13:05what it was about. Tina Jelindizdar,
00:13:09N1.
00:13:12Reactions to the political upheaval in the USA continue. Before
00:13:15Trump are now two years of confrontation with a Democratic majority
00:13:19that announces a turnaround in American politics. In
00:13:22the continuation, we are live in the news in Washington with us. Nina
00:13:25Kljenak, Nina, the American midterm elections are behind us,
00:13:29but the real challenges, for Republicans and Democrats alike,
00:13:32seem to be yet to come. What could their priorities be in this
00:13:36upcoming
00:13:37period?
00:13:41It seems that the real political thriller is just beginning, so let's try
00:13:44to briefly clarify everything. As for the Republicans,
00:13:48J.D. Vance was actually the first to speak out publicly
00:13:51to the whole world with his post on social
00:13:55media, where he wrote this: Was it worth
00:13:58entering that war if the Senate was risked to be lost?
00:14:01If someone thinks so, let them say so honestly.
00:14:05He presented himself as if he wasn't in that government, as if he was just sitting on the sidelines
00:14:08and observing, which is almost unbelievable because, uh, considering
00:14:12his position, of course, and the fact that he was also part of
00:14:15the negotiating team when attempts were made several
00:14:19times to talk to Tehran, referring of course to Ratsiranom
00:14:22to what certainly decided the consequences on fuel
00:14:26prices,
00:14:28that Republicans, or Donald Trump, to put it more directly,
00:14:32lose the elections. J.D. Vance is in an interesting
00:14:35position; many say he wants to become the Republican candidate
00:14:39before the upcoming presidential elections in 2028.
00:14:43So now he has two options: either to completely
00:14:46distance himself from Donald Trump, but this might
00:14:50also mean losing some voters, or all the voters of the MAGA movement who are still
00:14:53there. They went to the polls. They voted for Republicans,
00:14:57i.e., for Donald Trump, in the numbers they wanted, but
00:15:01they are there. Or he will, if
00:15:05he stays close to him, if he distances himself from him, he will lose those
00:15:08voters, and if he stays close to him, what happens then? Then he carries this
00:15:12burden of Trump's unpopularity, which also
00:15:15clearly and loudly showed itself in these elections.
00:15:18So he is not in an enviable position, we will see what will continue to happen with him.
00:15:22Republicans, what did they do last
00:15:25year? They actually let Donald Trump be the central
00:15:29figure of their politics, that everything revolved around that person and their work. It was like that in this campaign.
00:15:32Donald Trump practically took over
00:15:36the campaign, went to all rallies, directly told
00:15:39voters, "People, act as if I am on that
00:15:42ballot." After they lost, he then said,
00:15:46"If I had been the candidate, I would have won." However, if I may say so, that is
00:15:49pure manipulation, so Republicans must decide whether they will
00:15:53emancipate themselves, whether they will build both policies and a party and
00:15:57individuals who will, therefore, distance themselves from Donald
00:16:00Trump himself. That's for the Republicans. As
00:16:04for the Democrats, they won.
00:16:07Yes, but they need to turn their victory into change,
00:16:11which will be a little harder. Many people did not vote for Democrats, but rather
00:16:15against Donald Trump. Now Democrats need to offer economic
00:16:18changes, economic policies. What I just heard
00:16:21in the report, the attitude towards the European Union, the attitude towards Russia,
00:16:25the attitude towards Putin, they need to do all that
00:16:29in Congress, and now we need to see what the
00:16:33president will do when that happens. He still has
00:16:36extremely large executive powers in foreign policy and the military. What is
00:16:40crucial now is the budget. So the budget
00:16:43is approved by Congress, but Donald Trump can veto it.
00:16:46Then Congress, if it has a two-thirds majority, which is unlikely,
00:16:50can override the president. But these are political games without limits, where
00:16:54I think Donald Trump on one side, Republicans on the other, Democrats
00:16:58on the third, because now there are three sides, will actually
00:17:01exhaust each other. Yesterday, I spoke with
00:17:04long-time congressmen from both the Republican and
00:17:08Democratic parties who gave an interview for N1 Television.
00:17:12Each from their own perspective tried to clarify all these topics
00:17:15we are
00:17:16discussing.
00:17:23our allies and that's been driving up the cost of living in the
00:17:27United States. These are bills that the people wanted, they
00:17:31said they wanted with their votes last night yesterday, and
00:17:34if he wants to veto it, have at it.
00:17:38uh and and it'll just turn off the even the
00:17:41MAGA base uh if he v vetos these bills,
00:17:44so I don't think that he has that option, I think he's going to have
00:17:47to sign lot of
00:17:49legislation.
00:17:52Well, first, what we call the lame duck session, so hang on to your
00:17:56hat for the next 60 days, because you have, of course,
00:17:59outgoing congress, you have the white house, what will
00:18:03embolden itself because it feels it may not have more
00:18:06support. "and there's a lot of policies that need to happen,
00:18:10but moving beyond the next 60 days, new
00:18:14policies, new leadership, uh, you have new
00:18:16members of congress and the senate uh, and and by the way, I have lot of
00:18:20friends that won and lost yesterday, and and we
00:18:24appreciate their service, but moving into 27, you're going to see
00:18:27more investigations, you're going to see more oversight, and
00:18:31likely we'll see more conflict on the
00:18:34hill." "
00:18:39We heard what they said, which is along the lines of what I was saying. You know
00:18:43how I would conclude this report, I think it's important.
00:18:47Democrats are, of course, the objective winners, but the true winners are
00:18:50the citizens, the voters of the United States of America, who in large numbers,
00:18:54more than in 2022, went to the polls,
00:18:58showed what American democracy means to them, which in
00:19:012026 marks 250
00:19:04years since that famous signing of the Declaration of
00:19:07Independence in Philadelphia. They distributed power, they did not
00:19:11want power to obviously be in the hands of one man, they saw
00:19:15his self-inflicted wounds and said with their votes, "Okay, let
00:19:18power now be in Congress, in the House of
00:19:21Representatives, in the Senate, so you will be forced
00:19:25to negotiate, discuss." So they constitutionally limited
00:19:28him in that way. I mean, he is limited by the constitution, but he acted
00:19:32as if he wasn't. Now, at the moment they
00:19:35elected Democrats, they practically limited Donald
00:19:39Trump. So it will be extremely interesting to observe the next two
00:19:43years of that dialectic between the White House and
00:19:46Capitol, what it will bring forth, what it will mean on one
00:19:49hand for the citizens of the United States of America, and then how
00:19:53that will reflect beyond the borders of the United States of America, i.e.,
00:19:57for all of us.
00:19:59This was live from Washington, our reporter Nina Kljaja, who
00:20:03followed the midterm elections in the USA. And we will continue the news
00:20:06again. We are talking about domestic issues. We are talking about flu
00:20:09season.
00:20:13The first cases of flu confirmed in the Federation and Republika Srpska.
00:20:1643 people hospitalized due to severe acute respiratory
00:20:20infection. Vaccination is the only preventive measure, doctors say.
00:20:23ljekari.
00:20:28Fahidin Munjić, former acting director of the Federal Police
00:20:31Administration, gave a statement in Poskok as part of the investigation known as the "Spengavanje"
00:20:35affair. Munjić was questioned on the premises
00:20:38in the presence of a lawyer after he was subsequently served with a summons for
00:20:41questioning. According to unofficial information, Munjić's questioning
00:20:45is one of the last steps before a decision is made on filing
00:20:48an indictment, which could include at least seven
00:20:52people. Raport states that the indictment could be filed as early
00:20:56as tomorrow, but the official decision of the prosecutor's office has not yet been
00:20:59announced.
00:21:01Yes, it is true that today Mr. Munjić presented his defense before
00:21:05the prosecutor's office. Uh, the defense actively participated
00:21:09in presenting the defense, and in addition, the defense also raised certain
00:21:14on which the basic suspicions against the defendant are based,
00:21:18which, in the opinion of the defense, are.
00:21:21The prosecution is obliged, before making a final decision on filing
00:21:25an indictment, to suspend the investigation, to consider the justified, therefore,
00:21:28stated objection to legality that the defense
00:21:31pointed out today during the questioning, because
00:21:35an indictment or a court decision
00:21:39cannot be based on illegally obtained evidence.
00:21:42In the Cantonal Court in Mostar, tomorrow the first-instance verdict will be pronounced
00:21:46for Anis Kalajdžić, accused of the brutal murder of 32-year-old
00:21:50Aldina Jahić, illegal acquisition and possession of weapons, and the extended
00:21:54criminal offense of endangering security. The Prosecutor's Office of
00:21:56the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton and the legal representative of the Jahić family
00:22:00requested a unified sentence of long-term imprisonment lasting
00:22:0345 years, which is also the legal maximum. In
00:22:07the case of Aldina Jahić's murder, as stated in the closing arguments of the
00:22:10prosecution and the family's representative, it is a crime
00:22:14preceded by threats, stalking, and illegal
00:22:17acquisition of weapons. Kalajdžić's lawyer, Ibro
00:22:20Bulić, said that the defense does not dispute that his client
00:22:23committed the murder, but believes that gender-based motivation was
00:22:27not proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The pronouncement
00:22:30of the verdict is scheduled for 11
00:22:32o'clock.
00:22:37After it was reported in the media that a student of the madrasa in Banja Luka was beaten
00:22:40a few days ago and that after several hours of searching he was found

00:22:48Police Administration also announced that an investigation is underway
00:22:51and states that on November 2nd at around 4:30 PM,
00:22:55the disappearance of a minor was reported to the police and that the same person was

00:23:02next to the Vrbas river. A series of reactions followed. The Minister for
00:23:05Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sevlid Hurtić,
00:23:08expressed deep concern and condemned
00:23:11the allegations of physical assault on the minor madrasa student,
00:23:14calling on the competent institutions to immediately clarify all
00:23:18circumstances of this case, to determine the responsibility of all persons who
00:23:22in any way participated in this event. The attack was also condemned

00:23:59Healthcare workers in Sarajevo Canton protested today in front of the Sarajevo
00:24:02Canton government building, demanding equal treatment for all
00:24:06employees in the healthcare system. The gathering was organized by
00:24:09the Union of Healthcare Workers of Sarajevo Canton, following
00:24:12dissatisfaction with decisions to increase coefficients for certain
00:24:16categories of employees.
00:24:20The salary increase for doctors is not disputed, but other healthcare
00:24:24workers must not be excluded; everyone must be
00:24:27equally valued, is the message from today's protest in front of the Sarajevo
00:24:30Canton government. In the past period, we negotiated changes
00:24:33to the collective agreement and concluded it with the relevant
00:24:37ministry, the government's negotiating team, and the Health Insurance Fund.
00:24:41However, a situation occurred where the relevant minister, in
00:24:44reconciliation, granted more favorable rights to one group of service jobs.
00:24:48Dissatisfaction culminated after
00:24:50the union was informed on November 2 that the Union of Medical Doctors and
00:24:54Dentists was approved an increase in the coefficient by
00:24:560.3. Now they demand that this be corrected, existing
00:25:00ones amended, and negotiations for a new one started. collective agreement. The group
00:25:03of job complexity is the same as for doctors of medicine and doctors
00:25:07of dentistry, and the health care law treats us
00:25:10the same. It is not fair that only one group of job complexity
00:25:14is given a coefficient of 0.3, while other workers receive absolutely
00:25:18nothing. This discrimination that has
00:25:20occurred was the result of a gross violation of the labor law, which
00:25:24does not recognize the professional collective agreement. We
00:25:26support negotiations. It is possible that
00:25:30there are 10 unions, it is possible to negotiate
00:25:33legally impossible for there to be
00:25:37separate collective agreements. The Chamber announces lawsuits against the cantonal government
00:25:41if there is no alignment of collective agreements
00:25:44in terms of the rights arising from them. The same applies to other
00:25:47cantonal governments if they separate worker groups that
00:25:51form a single healthcare team. We demand that workers' rights be
00:25:55unified, that there are no differences. We expect that in
00:25:58the coming period we will resolve these issues so that what has
00:26:01happened until now will never happen again. The Minister of Health, Inis
00:26:05Hasanović, addressed the gathered and rejected accusations of
00:26:08discrimination, stating that the government negotiates with each union
00:26:12separately and that certain increases have already been agreed upon
00:26:15for other employees. He added that the hourly rate has been increased since June,
00:26:19while from January next year all employees with
00:26:22at least 10 years of service should receive an additional
00:26:260.1 based on years of service. In the next year, negotiations for a new
00:26:29collective agreement will certainly begin and conclude. All three unions will conduct
00:26:33negotiations, we absolutely support it, we have shown
00:26:36and I will show that healthcare workers
00:26:39have the highest salary growth of all other categories in
00:26:43Sarajevo Canton, all collective agreements and all changes have been signed with
00:26:47the union of healthcare employees, and I think that
00:26:50they should really be satisfied because we have increased their salaries all the time
00:26:54and we will continue to do so. The gathered trade unionists announced that they will not
00:26:57give up, that they will persevere in their struggle and... today they announced
00:27:01a protest walk that should be held next
00:27:05week. Feđa Kulina, N1,
00:27:09Sarajevo. In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:27:12the first cases of seasonal flu have been confirmed, while in
00:27:16Republika Srpska 43 people
00:27:19have been hospitalized, excuse me, due to severe
00:27:22acute respiratory infection. Flu vaccination in the Federation
00:27:26is expected in mid-November, which is the best
00:27:29way of protection, is the message from the profession.
00:27:33The dilemma about vaccination is current again.
00:27:36Authorities appeal to the importance of prevention while some
00:27:40citizens plan to get vaccinated, others believe in
00:27:43the effectiveness of natural remedies. I haven't had the vaccine so far,
00:27:47I don't think I will now either, I try to
00:27:50eat healthy, fruits, vegetables,
00:27:54protect myself as much as possible, yes
00:27:57of course, it's a preventative for
00:28:01my better health. I am already at an age where I need to take more care
00:28:05of my health and I recommend to everyone who
00:28:08is younger and older to do it, quality
00:28:11nutrition, lots of vitamins, that's it,
00:28:14I believe, and it should be received in any
00:28:18case be, be
00:28:20careful, although the vaccine can
00:28:24help, and it may not help, but
00:28:27I suggest that people get vaccinated, and mandatory
00:28:30vaccinations, mandatory vaccine. That is the only form of immunization
00:28:34especially for older staff, for older people, older patients.
00:28:38Vaccination against seasonal flu is especially recommended
00:28:41for people with chronic diseases, people older
00:28:44than 65, pregnant women, and medical
00:28:48staff working in epidemiological departments.
00:28:51In Sarajevo Canton, the public procurement process for flu vaccines
00:28:55has been completed, and the delivery of more than
00:28:587,500 doses is expected in mid-
00:29:01November. As every year, we will cover the widest possible range that the health center
00:29:05can, which is in all nine health centers in Sarajevo
00:29:08Canton, meaning all nine municipalities and
00:29:12somewhere around 70 or more family medicine clinics, therefore
00:29:16our hygienic-epidemiological service already has a schedule. In
00:29:19the health centers of the Republika Srpska entity,
00:29:23434 cases of flu have been registered, while data
00:29:26from the Public Health Institute of Sarajevo Canton state that
00:29:30the registered rate of flu infections
00:29:33is 26.41
00:29:35percent per 100,000 inhabitants, in the period from
00:29:39October 26 to November 1 of this
00:29:42year, this is a stable epidemiological
00:29:45situation. So we have already started recording patients with
00:29:49cold symptoms, flu symptoms at the Institute for Emergency Medical
00:29:53Aid, that is, elevated body temperature, muscle
00:29:56aches, runny nose, cough, productive,
00:30:00dry, pain, there is... weakness,
00:30:03exhaustion, sometimes in a smaller population we also have diarrhea
00:30:06and vomiting present, so we receive these patients
00:30:09daily, at the beginning it is always symptomatic
00:30:12therapy. The Public Health Institute of Sarajevo Canton
00:30:16particularly emphasizes protective measures that citizens can
00:30:20take. We recommend frequent hand washing as the simplest
00:30:23and most effective protective measure, if possible avoid large
00:30:27gatherings indoors, especially if you belong to a risk group. In addition to
00:30:31boosting immunity. Experts remind that
00:30:34vaccination is one of the most effective ways
00:30:37of preventing flu, but the final decision this year
00:30:40remains with the citizens. Hadžera Žutić,
