00:00:00they are connected to precipitation here, so
00:00:03there are large oscillations in
00:00:06the forecast of the amount of precipitation, meaning
00:00:10we will have precipitation
00:00:12for sure, it will not be extreme, it will be
00:00:16normal, but the question is when and how, so
00:00:20we can expect a pleasant, warm autumn that can be
00:00:23rainy, that can be locally accompanied by
00:00:27strong tropical downpours. tropical
00:00:31characteristics, which means that in 30 minutes, up to
00:00:3530, 40 liters of precipitation per square
00:00:38meter falls, so we have
00:00:40July is at then uh urban floods or other
00:00:43disasters
00:00:46of that character, those are the storms we have witnessed in Zagreb
00:00:49for the last couple of years, yes, that is that kind of weather,
00:00:53now, for example, this front that is passing now will not
00:00:56be a true typical cold front, but it will be
00:01:00a line of instability that will pass over us, which can bring
00:01:04thunderstorms in two or three waves,
00:01:08what happened on July 19th
00:01:10increase, about energy prices, two years ago when there was
00:01:12a true destructive cold front, destructive
00:01:16uh we mentioned the two of us talked briefly today in preparation for this
00:01:20conversation about droughts, so we are now witnessing
00:01:23also droughts, given that we don't have
00:01:26enough precipitation, temperatures are very high.
00:01:30"This report was also interesting before our conversation,
00:01:33the railway track heats up to 60°, rivers
00:01:37are heating up, this is not just a subjective
00:01:40the heat, but it is actually
00:01:44a really real situation on the ground, you told me that we
00:01:47don't even have a drought service, how do you
00:01:50expect and believe that it would be
00:01:54the correct way to position ourselves for these climate changes that
00:01:57look. last
00:02:01month, I think we published a report on N1 Info
00:02:05which had in its title
00:02:08the most insidious weather phenomenon, and
00:02:12the most insidious weather phenomenon is drought, in fact, because it
00:02:16develops slowly, gradually, it is very
00:02:19in Croatia, but throughout difficult to notice when it started, to say exactly,
00:02:23it started, now the drought has started, no, because drought develops over
00:02:26a certain period of time, what you
00:02:30mentioned, that we don't have a drought warning system
00:02:33at the state level, that should be
00:02:36established, just as we have a warning system for
00:02:39dangerous weather uh, dangerous
00:02:42weather disasters related to meteoalarm, in
00:02:46the meteoalarm of DHMZ, we don't have data on
00:02:49drought, so that
00:02:53is missing, one, we are missing one step, just to
00:02:56unify, to unify all the information, you have...
00:03:00"organizations that deal with the problem of water, these are Croatian
00:03:04waters, you have the hydrometeorological institute which also
00:03:07has a hydrological sector that measures water and
00:03:10temperature, water and the amount of water, we need to measure
00:03:14groundwater, the amount and height of groundwater,
00:03:17meaning these are information that need to be unified in one place and
00:03:21monitored and warnings issued for the whole
00:03:24country, because we simply have to start acting in such a way
00:03:28that..." we prevent drought,
00:03:31we can prevent it in such a way that we start collecting
00:03:35water, that this autumn, starting from autumn, we start
00:03:38collecting water in accumulation lakes
00:03:42as a reserve, as a reserve for what
00:03:45awaits us next summer, because
00:03:47next summer will not be colder than this one, that's for sure, because this
00:03:51summer, according to all our meteorological
00:03:55forecasts, is perhaps one of the coldest summers until
00:03:58the end of this century.
00:04:01"What does that mean, what does that mean that
00:04:04the next one will be warmer, every next one even, every next one even
00:04:08warmer, that's, that's, unfortunately the forecast
00:04:11is such, and what does that mean for each
00:04:14of us, for industry, for
00:04:16agriculture, for my your life outside,
00:04:20animals, plants, that means
00:04:23that it's hard, it's hard to find
00:04:27a more unambiguous answer to everything."
00:04:30"The first answer is that we
00:04:31are there any preparations you are are adaptable beings,
00:04:35mm-hmm, we will adapt in any way, the human race
00:04:38will adapt, however,
00:04:41agriculture and plants adapt much more slowly
00:04:45to weather changes, that is,
00:04:48for example, one of the things we need to understand, that is
00:04:52that we already need to bring water to
00:04:55watering holes for wild animals, because if we don't
00:04:58do that, part of our..." uh wild animals
00:05:02in our forests will simply perish from
00:05:04thirst,
00:05:07no, no, no, it looks, it looks terrible, but, but, but
00:05:10look, the next one. "The next first
00:05:14major influx of precipitation will be in 10 to 15
00:05:18days, but until those 10 to 15 days
00:05:22we have to survive with puddles that evaporate
00:05:25every moment, what puddles, the rivers have dried up, so the rivers
00:05:29have dried up, not puddles, no, so we need to think
00:05:32that way, another thing is that the drying
00:05:36of the roots of trees
00:05:38has begun, mm-hmm, meaning trees no longer have
00:05:42enough groundwater that they draw with their
00:05:46root system, there is a drying
00:05:49of trees, with the drying of trees
00:05:53the danger of fires is becoming greater and
00:05:56greater, our fire danger index
00:05:59was high two months ago
00:06:03on the Adriatic, now it is high throughout Croatia,
00:06:06which means that
00:06:08some stupidly
00:06:12at some wedding in Slavonia can also cause a fire
00:06:16like the one we recently had on Korčula,
00:06:20and then the preparation and
00:06:23extinguishing of that fire is much more difficult than down in Dalmatia,
00:06:27because Canadairs have no place to take water, meaning
00:06:30the period for refilling and emptying the aircraft itself is much
00:06:34longer, so great
00:06:38preparations will be needed, furthermore in normal
00:06:40normal life all... "all of us are using more air conditioners,
00:06:44yes, you can, you can make air conditioning, but that air conditioning expels heat outwards,
00:06:48with air conditioning
00:06:52we are actually raising the temperature of cities,
00:06:55a bunch of air conditioners that release heat outwards,
00:06:59in rooms we keep the temperature at about
00:07:0223, 24°, outside we have
00:07:05raised the temperature from that air conditioner by 5 to
00:07:096°, no, so that's that..."
00:07:12We are harming ourselves
00:07:15in a way, uh, the problem related
00:07:19to drought is related to the problem of glaciers,
00:07:23we in the Balkans
00:07:26had glaciers, we had a glacier on Triglav, it's
00:07:29gone, we had a glacier on Durmitor, it's gone,
00:07:32it melted, you have glacial pits
00:07:36on Velebit, in which the ice is reduced to just
00:07:40... traces.
00:07:42In
00:07:45the Alps, the glaciers have receded,
00:07:48but that's not the point that these glaciers have receded now,
00:07:52but the point is that these glaciers supply water to rivers
00:07:55and
00:07:58now if it rains in
00:08:00the Black Forest, the level and water level of the Danube
00:08:04will only improve or rise in about 10
00:08:07days, but that's if a real rain
00:08:11with large amounts of precipitation falls, we currently
00:08:14have a drought where
00:08:17precipitation is at zero in Slavonia for the last month,
00:08:21now, so that viewers don't say that we
00:08:23here, since we are in charge of everything, literally
00:08:27and figuratively,
00:08:29uh, but here, so that we don't end up in such
00:08:33a terrifying way, is there any optimism
00:08:37in what is here and all that
00:08:40is coming, as you said. Yes, there is optimism and
00:08:44optimism boils down to the fact that we have to adapt and
00:08:48adapt as soon as possible and adapt as best as possible,
00:08:51we have to start saving water, that is one
00:08:54of the measures we have to take, we have to start,
00:08:57we won't talk about CO2 and releasing CO2 into the atmosphere,
00:09:01because no matter how much we save here, on other sides, on a battlefield, they release
00:09:04twice as much CO2 into the atmosphere,
00:09:08we have to be careful about fires, because fires
00:09:12terribly contribute to the increase
00:09:15of CO2 and particles in the atmosphere
00:09:17and what is even more important with
00:09:21that, after a big fire, that
00:09:24burned area remains black, remains dark,
00:09:28which leads to even greater heating of that surface
00:09:31and then when rain comes to that, then the rain just
00:09:34washes away the surface layer, but it washes away the surface layer of soil,
00:09:38not just the ash that remained, but also the soil, so we are
00:09:42actually turning uh forest areas
00:09:46into karst, into barren land, no, that's, that's
00:09:49one problem, but uh, I think
00:09:54we will have pressure also, uh,
00:09:58from countries that are located, that were located in the Sahel,
00:10:02meaning in the area of
00:10:05uh, desert climate, that people will simply start
00:10:09migrating from those areas to the north, so we also have
00:10:12migration, general migration of population on Earth, not
00:10:16only, not only with us, because
00:10:19now you already have migration that is going, summer migration, this
00:10:23tourist one, which no longer goes towards
00:10:25the Adriatic but goes towards the Baltic, because the Baltic has become as warm as
00:10:28the Adriatic 10 years ago. Nothing, I will
00:10:31call you from time to time to
00:10:35rationally alert people to prepare

00:14:48Summer heat can be almost unbearable, there's nothing worse than the feeling
00:14:52of sweating, fatigue and complete exhaustion, you've probably already
00:14:55tried those big bulky noisy fans, but all they do is
00:14:58circulate hot air around the room and take up a lot of space. Forget small
00:15:02desk cooling units and tall freestanding fans, they simply
00:15:05don't have enough power to really do the job. And why would you turn on the air
00:15:09conditioner throughout the whole house when most of the time you're only in one room?
00:15:13Simply bring home the new revolutionary Starlife Coldair. Look how
00:15:17quickly Starlife creates extremely cold air. It cools the room and creates
00:15:20condensation on the glass doors. You can literally watch the droplets
00:15:24appear before your eyes. Coldair air conditioner doesn't just cool the air, it
00:15:27provides a powerful and refreshing stream of icy cold air exactly
00:15:31where you need it most, unlike ordinary fans that just push hot
00:15:35air around the room or other devices that never deliver the expected effect.
00:15:39Starlife Coldair is big, powerful and creates intensely cold air.
00:15:42In a direct comparison, with the help of thermal imaging technology, you can
00:15:46clearly see the difference, it quickly reduces the temperature in the room and provides a powerful
00:15:49refreshing wave of cold air.

00:17:31Welcome back. We are now going to Cavtat where
00:17:35Mr. Božo Lasić is waiting for us. Mayor of the municipality
00:17:38of Konavle, we said good day Mr. Lasić and welcome to
00:17:42N1. Good day to you and all your
00:17:46viewers. We said that in the past
00:17:49days we followed these big crowds in the south
00:17:52of Croatia which blocked your
00:17:55area, specifically the municipality
00:17:57of Konavle, you were among the most affected, how much
00:18:01did that affect tourists, but equally
00:18:05important question, how much did it affect you and the entire local
00:18:09population,
00:18:12well, it's true that it was, roughly speaking, that weekend
00:18:16was a bit chaotic,
00:18:19namely, through Konavle then passed
00:18:22about mm 14 to 15,000 vehicles and
00:18:26somewhere over 40,000
00:18:28mm 40,000 people, so that's
00:18:31roughly five times, we are
00:18:34a community of about 8,000 inhabitants, so... five times
00:18:38how big Konavle is at all, mm
00:18:41of course it really looked chaotic
00:18:45we had big problems, but I have to say that
00:18:48the police did an excellent job
00:18:52and prevented some major inconveniences that
00:18:55could have happened uh
00:18:58so there was nervousness in that column
00:19:01you have to understand people wait for 12 to 15 hours there was nervousness for
00:19:05our local residents. that people cannot get home from work
00:19:09they cannot m you simply cannot function normally the biggest
00:19:13fear in that whole story was that God forbid something
00:19:16worse happens, some traffic accident, that a potential
00:19:20fire happens or something, then it would only be mm
00:19:23a more complete disaster but I'm saying, luckily we got through it well
00:19:26we have now cleaned up those huge
00:19:29amounts of waste that were along the way, we are waiting
00:19:33we expect a new weekend, we hope there won't be such
00:19:37a crowd as it was last time and I think it shouldn't
00:19:40be, there are a number of circumstances that
00:19:43mm happened, first Feragosto started in Italy, then
00:19:47also the Scottish
00:19:49holidays started in Western Europe
00:19:53of course everyone wanted especially
00:19:56uh Albanian population and Macedonian to come home
00:20:00with their families for these holidays and well I say
00:20:03we hope this weekend won't be like the previous one.
00:20:09working on before this new
00:20:12weekend to give me exactly, I will have a meeting with the
00:20:16civil protection headquarters and the police today after this interview with
00:20:18you and we will agree on what we can do, look, we cannot
00:20:22control the flow, the flow is
00:20:25as it is at the border, m the
00:20:28Croatian border and the Montenegrin border are close, there is
00:20:32an additional problem when they get jammed, when we get jammed,
00:20:36then we have a problem. we have to, is it, then those
00:20:39passengers are successively
00:20:42let through, Mr. Lasić, when we talk
00:20:46about the season, certainly these big crowds.
00:20:51"on the one hand, it can look absolutely
00:20:54like a good season, like a large number of people, a large
00:20:57influx of tourists, however, we have been hearing
00:21:00for the past two months since the season started that it may
00:21:04not be as great as expected, that
00:21:07a period of stagnation has set in,
00:21:10what is the season like specifically for you in the municipality
00:21:13of Konavle, that I can only talk about the season in the municipality
00:21:17of Konavle, I wouldn't touch on others, that's why I'm asking that way.
00:21:20Yes, yes, so, the season is good for us, we had
00:21:24June in the black, I think by about
00:21:27two to three percent,
00:21:30the level of last year, we mostly have
00:21:34airplane guests, so we are an airplane destination, I think
00:21:37about 40% of our guests are from
00:21:41the United Kingdom and for now we can be
00:21:45satisfied, I often emphasize that it's not just
00:21:49important how many guests visited us, but how satisfied
00:21:52the local population is, how the whole
00:21:56system functions, uh, you know,
00:21:59when you have residents as many
00:22:01as you have, when you have large crowds, a large influx of guests,
00:22:04these incidental problems that occur, of course,
00:22:08create an additional atmosphere and you have a,
00:22:11let's say conditionally, problem, but thank
00:22:15God for now we are doing everything as it should be. "We have a very
00:22:19good communal infrastructure for now, sewage,
00:22:22water, drainage, that means a lot to us, we have really
00:22:26put it together extremely well in the last 30
00:22:29years, so that all larger settlements,
00:22:33including Cavtat,
00:22:36Gruda, Molunat, have their own
00:22:38sewage system, we are preparing for the construction of sewage for Čilipi, although it has partly reached
00:22:42Čilipi and the airport, and that is very important, you
00:22:45have a sewage system that works, you have clean
00:22:48sea. "When you walk along the promenade in Cavtat,
00:22:51you will always see clear and clean
00:22:55sea, and Cavtat, as you can see, Konavle deserves a number
00:22:58of awards that we have received in the last few years, that
00:23:02is important to us, we have some problems with, m, since
00:23:06all places in Croatia, and I think not only
00:23:09Europe, have the problem of waste management, but
00:23:13we are somehow trying to organize it and I hope that we will solve this problem
00:23:16in the coming years, we need to..."
00:23:20people need to change a little, it needs to be organized better,
00:23:24but I think there will be no reason for it not to work out well.
00:23:28And Mr. Lasić, Croatia as a tourist
00:23:32destination, especially here the south of Croatia,
00:23:36maybe in these new, new trends
00:23:39that are emerging, the Mediterranean is no longer that
00:23:43sole interesting destination, today we see people
00:23:46going to the mountains, to the Alps, spending
00:23:50their holidays there or going to places that
00:23:53are more competitive in price, you said
00:23:56for sure that you have either maintained or increased traffic
00:24:00by a few percent, i.e. the arrival of tourists, but what
00:24:04I am interested in is what is the situation with
00:24:07their spending once they arrive, specifically
00:24:11the municipality of Konavle, is consumption and eating in
00:24:14restaurants, for example, smaller or the same,
00:24:18or is that information you may not have, I'm interested in whether
00:24:22the season has perhaps weakened on some other parameters,
00:24:25yet due to the rise in prices that we all
00:24:28feel,
00:24:30yes, you are right to conclude that the habits of guests and tourists
00:24:34are changing, new generations are coming who have
00:24:37completely different thoughts, some other
00:24:40desires, it is often some, let's
00:24:44say, adventure tourism and some
00:24:48other, as I said, some other. destinations are
00:24:50uh more interesting, today you have
00:24:53one characteristic that a guest, before you had a guest who would
00:24:57come with his car, I remember in my mm
00:25:01and that was a long time ago, 30, 40
00:25:04years ago, 50, in my youth, a guest from Germany
00:25:07would come, park his car at the hotel and then stay for 10, 15
00:25:11days or seven, you had a guest for eight days, for 15 days and more
00:25:15days, today you have a young person who comes who wants to see
00:25:19as much as possible. to be
00:25:21different destinations, he will come to Konavle, come to Cavtat, he will go to Kotor, he will
00:25:25go, I don't know, to Cetinje, he will go to
00:25:29Mostar, Dubrovnik, all these are destinations that interest him and he stays for two
00:25:32to three days here with us and really
00:25:36in that sense habits are changing, we
00:25:40have in Konavle we really made that response through agritourism, through
00:25:44some new destinations that we created and we are trying
00:25:47our best as much as we can mm... mm
00:25:50and I say habits are changing, the narrative is changing,
00:25:53the story is changing, today tanning is no longer really
00:25:57in, is it, we talk
00:26:00about the sun as uh... "a type
00:26:03of danger of getting melanoma or something more then
00:26:06people avoid that, you know, we all have to be ready for that.
00:26:10whether guests, whether guests spend less
00:26:14or more, it's true that they spend less, but it's also a fact that
00:26:17our destination is certainly expensive, but
00:26:20again, the other day I had such a classic example,
00:26:24I always tell an anecdote and give some clear examples.
00:26:28By coincidence, I was in Paris and a kilo of cherries was over 30
00:26:32euros. So everywhere you have I'm afraid the euro,
00:26:35thanks to, thanks to, conditionally speaking, the corona crisis has indeed
00:26:38significantly devalued and today I feel when I have
00:26:42one euro in my pocket that I have
00:26:46one kuna, and even in some things that
00:26:49kuna is stronger, at least that's my impression of
00:26:53one euro, but here I'm saying, the guests try their best
00:26:56to accommodate guests, but in my opinion, the price
00:27:00is still... "Prices are not, are not appropriate, they are not
00:27:03as high as they are, and even more so
00:27:07because the state intervened in a number of things so that prices would not
00:27:12little is said about that, they are frozen, it has been
00:27:16going on for years, electricity has really become
00:27:19cheap in my opinion, too cheap,
00:27:22they tried with the price of oil
00:27:26with other benefits,
00:27:28and the government, conditionally speaking, put pressure on local
00:27:32self-government not to increase utility fees, contributions and so
00:27:36on, we did all that and we have now come to a
00:27:39situation, if you allow me, because I am in the position
00:27:42of the president of the association of municipalities of the Republic of Croatia, we have come to a situation where,
00:27:46as in Germany and other countries, local self-government,
00:27:49its function has come into question, you know, because we
00:27:53have not increased prices for years, and prices, stay in
00:27:57kindergartens and prices of utility fees, contributions and everything
00:28:01else and local taxes. That is one problem, we have not
00:28:04increased them, we have increased them for these reasons I mentioned, but of course
00:28:08there are also political reasons why
00:28:10local, uh, local leaders in a way
00:28:13did not want to increase it for political reasons,
00:28:17right? These are the problems we are facing, I see in Germany
00:28:21there were demonstrations of local leaders in front of the Bundestag
00:28:24and so on and so forth, these are problems that we simply
00:28:27have to solve on the fly,
00:28:31Mr. Lasić. "Thank you very much for this conversation, for
00:28:34joining us, for the detailed presentation of the situation
00:28:38in the south of Croatia, we send you greetings to Cavtat, thank you for
00:28:42being a guest of N1, thank
