00:00:00we must electrify Europe, our goal is
00:00:03to double electricity production by 2040.
00:00:06years.
00:00:09Ursula Vonderline said that Brussels
00:00:12wants to raise relations with Ottawa to the highest possible
00:00:16level and, as she said, urgently
00:00:18redefine them. Canada, which shares European values,
00:00:22sees as a key partner in creating new global
00:00:26alliances.
00:00:30Our partnership is not aimed against anyone, but
00:00:34strives for strength through unity. We want to
00:00:38strengthen our relationship with Canada
00:00:40to the maximum.
00:00:43Dear Mark, I said that we urgently need to redefine
00:00:46our partnership.
00:00:49That is why I would like us to open the doors
00:00:53to Canada together, for it to become the first associate
00:00:56member of the European Union.
00:01:09Ursula von der Leyen, in her State of the Union address, announced a series of new
00:01:13here, indeed, on her own initiative, given initiatives, from strengthening European defense and a new
00:01:16security architecture to stricter rules for migration and
00:01:19social networks. We are now going live to
00:01:22Strasbourg where our Maja
00:01:25Štrbac is. Maja, what reactions could we hear
00:01:29to the speech of the President of the Commission and what caused the most
00:01:32commotion?
00:01:36Well, Boranda, it can be said that the reactions were indeed
00:01:39raised despite the fact that rhetorically everything
00:01:42actually changed a lot from last year's
00:01:46speech, the President of the European Commission, Ursula
00:01:49von der Leyen, really took note of
00:01:52last year's comments in which the biggest
00:01:56impact was that she
00:01:59important that a part focused too much on foreign policy relations, not on internal,
00:02:02internal cohesion, as she actually did this year
00:02:05on trade relations between member
00:02:08countries, on strengthening defense
00:02:11readiness, so among other things, it could be heard
00:02:14that there were a lot of words, few
00:02:17solutions, that she tried to please everyone, the opposition
00:02:21criticized the fact that no
00:02:24concrete measures were offered to solve the problem of affordable
00:02:28housing, here it was... much talked about the relationship
00:02:32with America, there was no mention of any
00:02:35concrete measure for the trade war with the USA,
00:02:38in fact, we can point out that Donald Trump
00:02:42was not explicitly mentioned once in Ursula
00:02:45Vonderline's entire speech, and Mark Kartni,
00:02:49the Canadian Prime Minister, was also present.
00:02:52In fact, a big decision was made,
00:02:56a big, big change in the European... Union, that
00:02:59is the
00:03:02accession of Canada to the European Union, of course, that had great
00:03:06repercussions and many great reactions, we will talk about all of that, as much
00:03:09as we can, of course, today with the Europarliamentarian Nikolina Brnjac,
00:03:13good day, welcome to the program, good day to you and your viewers, well,
00:03:17we heard really now a small contribution, there were so many reactions
00:03:21to today's speech by Ursula von der Leyen, what are
00:03:24your reactions, how do you actually receive
00:03:28these. comments we heard in brief, well I think she was extremely
00:03:31concrete in certain matters, primarily for
00:03:35the competitiveness of our economy, the European economy, and what is
00:03:38the goal is that we must by the end of the year, considering that we know that next year there will be
00:03:42elections in numerous member states, uh,
00:03:45have a finished European Union budget, and is that the most important
00:03:49document for the next seven years for Croatia and for the whole
00:03:52of Europe, that is, the European Union, precisely this
00:03:55competitiveness fund for competitiveness, which makes up one fifth.
00:03:59of the entire fund, we see a great
00:04:01opportunity for Croatia, especially for our companies, for our
00:04:05businessmen, for example, in defense, as we discussed,
00:04:08that is, where European competitiveness can be
00:04:12raised, precisely through such a fund, she also spoke and placed great
00:04:16emphasis on energy independence, which is crucial, because
00:04:18if we know that today Europe imports about 96% of oil,
00:04:2290% of gas, about 60% of coal,
00:04:26meaning we cannot talk about any independence, we know that it is crucial for us to
00:04:30have an independent, developed, and competitive economy, but of course
00:04:34also how important it is for our citizens, therefore, what she
00:04:37also said today, we must invest in renewable
00:04:40energy sources, that is, both solar
00:04:43and nuclear energy, hydropower,
00:04:46that is, different forms of energy, she also highlighted that as an important
00:04:49sign, she also clearly set
00:04:53the goal for climate change, we saw what happened,
00:04:57what it was like this summer, what kind of droughts there were, what kind of fires,
00:05:01terrible fires, my brother, that is, but
00:05:04throughout Europe, that is why European coordination
00:05:08is necessary, a budget that will follow such
00:05:11situations is necessary. It will also enable us to have additional funds
00:05:15for coordination between fire services, civil protection services, meaning
00:05:18all those involved, but what particularly pleased me is what
00:05:22she emphasized now, what is important for our young people,
00:05:26if we know that every seventh child in Europe has
00:05:29mental health problems, then this that she announced now, that
00:05:33all member states must have a uniform approach,
00:05:37she now announced the adoption of a new law for children who are
00:05:41younger than 13 years old will not have access to digital networks, and from
00:05:4413 to 15 years of age, children will only have access under parental
00:05:48control. I think it is crucial that we must manage
00:05:51in such a way and take care of our children,
00:05:55because this is really what is happening now, we saw that Australia
00:05:59also changed that, so she herself said that she took it as an example
00:06:02from another country how they started solving that problem
00:06:06and I think this is a very, very good direction for all member
00:06:16priorities of the President of the European Commission, we are
00:06:20still partially dependent on the USA
00:06:23and currently with this move that was made
00:06:26today, the accession of Canada
00:06:30to the European Union, our much
00:06:33closer cooperation, in whatever form it will be implemented, tomorrow we will find out
00:06:37at 11:30 when it will be presented in
00:06:40parliament, of course, so we don't know everything yet, but can
00:06:44it have some negative repercussions on our relations with the USA, because
00:06:48we know how erratic Trump is, he was not mentioned today, one
00:06:52of your fellow MEPs commented that it was actually a smart
00:06:55move by Ursula von der Leyen not to mention Donald
00:06:59Trump, because after last year's speech and several
00:07:03repeated mentions and accusations of Trump, the reaction
00:07:06was extremely, well, unpredictable, let's call it that
00:07:10politely, well, look, first... we need to clarify, it is about
00:07:14the fact that Canada is now being considered to become an associate
00:07:17member, meaning that it is going in that direction, it will not automatically
00:07:21become an associate member or an integral part of the member
00:07:24states of the European Union, meaning an associate member, we now have
00:07:28on the basis of our economic agreement, the president also mentioned
00:07:31about 75% increase in economic exchange
00:07:34between Europe and Canada, what connects
00:07:37us with Canada is precisely that we share the same values.
00:07:41from the use of artificial
00:07:43intelligence, that it must be used smartly, that we know what artificial
00:07:46intelligence is used for, but controlled and that man must
00:07:50control how artificial intelligence will develop,
00:07:53because we see what is happening in other parts of the world and that we must
00:07:56be smart, so we are not against, but with
00:08:00control, that artificial intelligence serves us in hospitals, in
00:08:03the economy, that is, in all different systems where we
00:08:06use it, but that man has the final say,
00:08:10understand? Also, regarding climate change, we share the same
00:08:13values as Canada, and precisely because of that, I think it's very good that
00:08:16today it was discussed about the possibility of Canada's
00:08:20accession, we see that it's very positive and that everyone,
00:08:24I haven't seen anyone in the European Parliament today who said
00:08:27that it's not good or that it's going in the wrong direction, mhm,
00:08:31was it discussed with partners? However, today's
00:08:35media reports said that no one knew anything,
00:08:38"the only ones who knew were actually them, they didn't fully
00:08:42consult, so what was the background story? Well, I think
00:08:45it's, I mean, it could have been
00:08:49assumed that it would go in that direction, because according to
00:08:52previous negotiations, discussions and everything that is
00:08:56happening, as I said, we share the same European values, so it could
00:08:59have already been somehow felt
00:09:03that it would go in this direction. So, we have to address
00:09:06the measures for affordable housing, last week
00:09:10the affordable
00:09:13housing act was released, somehow it was not emphasized today,
00:09:16we are aware that real estate prices within the European
00:09:20Union are really going up exceptionally
00:09:23and are not stopping their growth, so therefore,
00:09:27I believe that what the president mentioned now is not enough,
00:09:31and we see it especially regarding the supply of apartments on
00:09:35the market, analyzes show that we lack 10 million
00:09:38apartments, so I myself really expected that there would be a bit more...
00:09:42stronger, stronger proposal and legislative acts
00:09:45from the commission itself precisely in the direction of member
00:09:48states, you said last week the affordable
00:09:52housing act or regulation for affordable
00:09:55housing was presented, which is the proposal of the commission, it goes in
00:09:59two directions, or two measures, first it will be
00:10:02possible, as their proposal, to calculate which are the areas
00:10:06or housing stress areas where we have a problem with affordable
00:10:10housing, their methodology of calculation. Further it is divided
00:10:13into two measures, one measure is short of limiting short-term
00:10:17rentals, which we already have in Croatia and it says
00:10:19under the same regulation that member
00:10:23states that already have. data collection as we have through our tourism
00:10:26law, in that way it can already be seen on the basis
00:10:30of evidence-based policies how to limit if there is
00:10:34any need to limit through management plans,
00:10:37mayors can make decisions, as they already do in our country, for example,
00:10:40Poreč also decided and Makarska, I think, and many other
00:10:44cities that are going in that direction, and the other thing
00:10:47they proposed is that if you buy, for example, a second
00:10:51property now, you cannot buy
00:10:54it if that property is not for your own residence or
00:10:57is not for long-term rental, which I think is a very bad message that is
00:11:00being sent, in that way you enter, you enter the right
00:11:04of ownership, you enter what is guaranteed
00:11:07by the constitution itself
00:11:11ultimately that is in the European
00:11:14Charter, so I think there will be big problems with that,
00:11:18because as I say the decision itself is that you cannot
00:11:21buy a second property if you buy
00:11:25it. Therefore, if some
00:11:27mayor makes that decision, you cannot, you cannot because you will not
00:11:43Parliament is still ongoing, tomorrow we expect
00:11:46the address in parliament of the Canadian
00:11:50Prime Minister, as we announced, we are here, we continue to follow all
00:11:53developments and bring all the details.
00:12:11A lot has been said, but few concrete things, stated
00:12:14foreign policy analyst Mirjana Rakić, guest
00:12:18on our new day.
00:12:22She used it very often. "We
00:12:25need, we will, but how, in what time,
00:12:29what are the deadlines, new alliances are being created, an alliance
00:12:32for electric power, an alliance for artificial
00:12:36intelligence, the most interesting to me seems to be this
00:12:40European security alliance where in a way
00:12:43a kind of counterweight to
00:12:45NATO is being created,
00:12:48towards the end of her speech, Ursula von der Leyen referred to Serbia,
00:12:52more precisely to the state honors at Ratko's funeral..." in
00:12:55Belgrade, it seems that the half-hearted condemnation satisfied no one
00:12:59except perhaps Aleksandar Vučić whom she again
00:13:02did not mention.
00:13:06Ursula von der Leyen only after pressure from Zagreb and Sarajevo
00:13:10issued a message on social media saying she was appalled
00:13:13by the celebration of Ratko Mladić with state honors in Belgrade. In
00:13:17her State of the Union address, she finally and loudly
00:13:20pronounced.
00:13:44These words suffer from the same shortcoming, warns the Croatian
00:13:48MEP. It is an ambivalent, I would say,
00:13:51statement that there is no place in the European Union for glorifying
00:13:55war criminals like Mladić, so it was not said that there is no place for Serbia or those who
00:13:59glorify, who support it, but that glorification itself has no place, that can now be interpreted in
00:14:03different ways. As Elmedin Konaković, the Minister of Foreign
00:14:06Affairs of BiH, had publicly criticized before,
00:14:09von der Leyen again decided not to mention the name
00:14:12behind everything, Aleksandar Vučić.
00:14:16No hint of sanctions against Serbia, and the European
00:14:19Parliament's rapporteur for Serbia proposed breaking off accession
00:14:23negotiations. A much more serious question is what the European Union
00:14:26simply intends to do after being convinced that it is a
00:14:30regime that glorifies war crimes,
00:14:33whether to continue negotiations with
00:14:36such a government, whether to introduce
00:14:39some measures that will simply send a sufficiently strong, not
00:14:43only political, but also financial
00:14:46message to the authorities in Belgrade, we did not actually hear that today from Ursula
00:14:50von der Leyen, a futile effort if Vučić can at such a moment
00:14:54pop over to... Paris and hug Macron, emphasizes another
00:14:58former foreign minister. The idea is to attract
00:15:01Serbia regardless of the government.
00:15:04Of course, many, and perhaps Ms. von der Leyen herself, would intimately prefer a
00:15:08student list, but the goal is to win over Serbia with Vučić,
00:15:12if possible, and without him, right? But
00:15:16with him. But look, that's again the question of what the
00:15:19government in Serbia wants, does the government in Serbia want that way, or does it want to
00:15:22continue dancing at several weddings, influential
00:15:26American Republican representative Joe Wilson does not mince
00:15:30words, at a congressional hearing he warns, Vučić is preparing
00:15:33another election fix, he says the largest Serbian. Oil
00:15:37and gas company is owned by Russia, Vučić also bought
00:15:41and integrated Chinese military surveillance
00:15:43technology.
00:15:46delegation to the funeral of dictator Komeni in Tehran alongside
00:15:50the delegations of Russia and
00:15:52China.
00:16:01Another award is coming to Vučić for
00:16:32Former Kosovo president and leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army
00:16:36Hashim Thaçi. was sentenced in The Hague to a unified sentence of 25
00:16:40years in prison for war crimes committed during the conflict
00:16:44in Kosovo, northern Albania in 1998-99.
00:16:47year. Jakup Krasniqi was also sentenced to 25
00:16:51years. Kadri Veseli received 18, and Reçep
00:16:55Selimi 13 years in prison. It was determined that
00:16:58KLA members unlawfully detained at least
00:17:02385 people, while at least
00:17:0596 people were killed.
00:17:07Among the victims were Serbs, Roma and Kosovo Albanians. The court did not
00:17:11find that crimes against humanity were committed and emphasized
00:17:15that the proceedings did not deal with the legitimacy of the KLA or
00:17:18its goal of Kosovo's
00:17:20independence.
00:17:24The verdict against Thaçi was followed in The Hague and
00:17:28Kosovo. We are now going live to The Hague. Our
00:17:32N1 reporter Sanja Sovrlić is waiting for us there. Sanja,
00:17:35Thaçi received the verdict in silence while hundreds of his
00:17:39supporters gathered in front of the court with strong police
00:17:42security, how was the verdict received there, did
00:17:46the defense announce an appeal to
00:17:48this decision?
00:17:51To begin with the last question, the defense,
00:17:55as Hashim Thaçi's lawyer,
00:17:58the former president of Kosovo, said, is shocked by
00:18:01this verdict. They claim that the evidence presented
00:18:05by the defense was not taken into account, but
00:18:08only the evidence presented by the prosecution was.
00:18:12They announce an appeal, saying that the verdict was
00:18:16predetermined. The chief prosecutor, on the other hand, expressed
00:18:19satisfaction with the verdict, you said Thaçi
00:18:22received the verdict in silence and I would add
00:18:26to that, so Thaçi and the other
00:18:29KLA leaders were in the presence of members
00:18:32of their families who were in the
00:18:35gallery of the courtroom of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers,
00:18:39they then left, so after the verdict was pronounced, they left the
00:18:43courtroom, but without much
00:18:46comment for the media, when it comes to
00:18:49supporters of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army,
00:18:53early this morning several dozen people gathered in front of the
00:18:56court, carrying Albanian flags, KLA
00:19:00signs and printed pictures of the four KLA leaders, however
00:19:03the police very quickly removed them from the court building and
00:19:07told them to
00:19:09leave that area and they followed the pronouncement of the
00:19:12verdict from 2 km away until the pronouncement
00:19:16of the verdict, after that in front of the court building there were
00:19:20exclusively journalists with sporadic walks
00:19:23of people with KLA symbols or passing vehicles, but without
00:19:27a large gathering of people, however,
00:19:30incidents occurred a little further from
00:19:33the court when citizens who had gathered there protested
00:19:37against the conviction for war crimes of the KLA
00:19:41leaders and clashed with the police,
00:19:45that was very quickly over and during today
00:19:48in The Hague, in the immediate vicinity of the court, it was
00:19:51mostly peaceful, but let's see how those incidents looked.
00:21:14We saw, therefore, that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo, Glauk
00:21:18Konjufca, from the Vetëvendosje movement,
00:21:21attended the trial, he announced
00:21:24it earlier, otherwise Rexhep Selimi, one of the
00:21:28convicted, is from the Vetëvendosje movement, while the
00:21:31three, Veseli, Krasniqi and Thaçi
00:21:34are from the Democratic Party of Kosovo, in addition to the current Minister
00:21:37of Foreign Affairs, I could also see the former Minister of Foreign Affairs
00:21:41of Kosovo, Petrit Selimi, from the ranks
00:21:44of the Democratic Party of Kosovo,
00:21:47but also present were
00:21:51some representatives of civil society from Pristina,
00:21:54I also spoke with one, with the director of the Humanitarian
00:21:57Law Fund, uh, from Belgrade, who is present
00:22:03that a group of civil
00:22:06society activists from Belgrade and from North Kosovo had an organized visit
00:22:10to the Specialist Chambers, but they canceled their visit at the last
00:22:14minute, given that they were told that they could not
00:22:17guarantee their safety here
00:22:21in The Hague, I asked the Kosovo Specialist Chambers about this,
00:22:25they did not explicitly confirm it to the media, but they say
00:22:28that they are doing everything in their power to ensure
00:22:32safety, otherwise, an assessment by Jasmina
00:22:35Lazović, director of the Humanitarian Law Fund in Belgrade, is that
00:22:39the verdict certainly cannot answer everything,
00:22:42but that it is very important in this
00:22:45context and she said that it is
00:22:49of the indictment was also confirmed. which refers to
00:22:51the joint criminal
00:23:13Citizens in Pristina are mostly dissatisfied with the verdict against former
00:23:16President Hashim Thaçi, and Prime Minister Albin Kurti
00:23:20says that the verdict in The Hague does not represent the will
00:23:22of the people.
00:23:26I believe this is an injustice, that it is more of a political decision, they are
00:23:30innocent. We are shocked, in a word, because we expected
00:23:34an acquittal for the main KLA leaders. With this verdict
00:23:37of the special court, it's just that the KLA was not declared a terrorist
00:23:40organization. There's nothing else, this is a very political trial,
00:23:44based on Serbian files.
00:23:47Of course, I didn't expect this, neither
00:23:50did anyone else, what can I say, what else can I say, I have nothing, I didn't expect
00:23:54such an outcome, I'm disappointed,
00:23:55The conviction and such a heavy
00:23:59sentence for the four former KLA leaders represent
00:24:02an unacceptable injustice, a great and damaging sentence. This verdict
00:24:06may have been formally rendered in the name of the people of Kosovo, but this empty
00:24:09formulation should not be confused with the will of the people. This verdict must
00:24:13certainly be changed and corrected in the appeal process as
00:24:16soon as possible. In these difficult times, we stand with the families of the former
00:24:20KLA leaders and all their comrades who fought for
00:24:23liberation.
00:24:25We are also following the situation in northern
00:24:28Kosovo, in places with a majority Serb population, it was
00:24:31peaceful during the day. How it is now, we are checking
00:24:35with Nenad Božović. Nenad,
00:24:38you were in Mitrovica, now in Leposavić.
00:24:42What are the reactions after the verdicts in
00:24:46The Hague? Well, since this morning we have been in
00:24:50northern Kosovo and we have not noticed
00:24:54an increased police presence, I mean, at least not with long
00:24:58barrels, we saw that there are increased patrols on the main
00:25:01road that leads from the border with
00:25:04Serbia to North Mitrovica, but it is
00:25:08mostly a traffic patrol,
00:25:10what we could not hear at this
00:25:14moment from the residents here in northern Kosovo.
00:25:17That is mostly the Serb population is what their
00:25:21reactions are to the pronouncement of the verdict
00:25:24against the four former KLA commanders, and the trial
00:25:28was watched and followed, although it was not
00:25:32as organized as in the southern part,
00:25:35they watched it in cafes and in their homes, but somehow they were
00:25:38reserved when we tried to get an answer from them
00:25:42about what they think. They mostly answered that it does not
00:25:45interest them, that they have nothing to comment on. However, it would seem
00:25:49that... that fear is most likely hidden there, because
00:25:53any commenting could in the future entail
00:25:57some consequences, that is what they fear, already
00:26:00for several years now the story is about how
00:26:04everything that they
00:26:06previously advocated and fought for has actually disappeared,
00:26:09that they simply no longer even have the support
00:26:13of Serbia as they once did, what particularly
00:26:17frightened them is the information that appeared
00:26:20yesterday that in Gračanica today there will be
00:26:24online classes, that in a place near Leposavić, where we are now,
00:26:27called Lešak, yesterday a children's play was canceled,
00:26:31the police did not allow it to be held, although no
00:26:34reasons were given, somehow the information appeared that it could be precisely
00:26:38because of today and the pronouncement of the verdict
00:26:42today we also spoke with the head
00:26:44of the police in northern Kosovo, Veton Elshani,
00:26:48so let's hear what he said about the security situation
00:26:52in northern Kosovo. We have an operational plan for the entire
00:26:55territory of Kosovo, as well as for the northern part specifically and
00:26:59there is nothing to highlight from that.
00:27:02but everything is fine, and is there a security risk at this moment?
00:27:06no, for now there is no security risk, but that's why we
00:27:10are here, if it comes to us needing to react, we are here, so
00:27:14far everything is
00:27:14quiet.
00:27:18By the way, at 4 p.m. the
00:27:22gathering in the center of South Mitrovica began and also
00:27:25it is being followed with impatience, because
00:27:28information appeared that the demonstrators might be able to reach the bridge that...
00:27:32separates the northern and southern part, however, we have no information that this
00:27:36happened, there was also a gathering this morning in the square in South Mitrovica,
00:27:39but the columns did not start
00:27:42towards the north, that is, towards the part where Serbs live, so at
00:27:46this moment we can say that it is calm in the north of Kosovo.
00:28:13SDP MP Ivana Marković launched
00:28:17a joint parliamentary initiative for the reorganization
00:28:20of emergency medical care on the islands. The reason is the case
00:28:24of a 38-year-old woman who collapsed in front of the locked
00:28:28doors of the emergency room in Supetar, because the only team was
00:28:31on an intervention. She is asking the government and the Ministry of Health to find
00:28:34a comprehensive solution that would ensure that island residents
00:28:38in life-threatening situations have equal access to emergency
00:28:42care as citizens on the mainland. She invited all
00:28:45MPs to sign the initiative, regardless of their party
00:28:49affiliation.
00:28:51It is about demanding that a special standard
00:28:54for the organization of emergency medical services for Croatian islands be introduced,
00:28:58taking into account the number of inhabitants, distance from
00:29:01the mainland, and traffic connections.
00:29:03anos that populated islands do not remain without operational
00:29:07emergency medical services in cases when the team available
00:29:10in that area goes out, to
00:29:14ensure a sufficient number of health professionals and teams throughout
00:29:18the entire year. The Ministry of Health requested
00:29:22a statement, and the relevant minister Irena Hrstić says that after
00:29:25the statement she will decide whether a health inspection needs to be conducted or if
00:29:29the problem is in the organization of the service. Let's recall, the patient
00:29:32was transported in serious condition to KBC Split, where she is in the
00:29:36intensive care unit.
00:29:39We requested a statement from the Ministry of Health from the field, and when
00:29:42we receive it, we will assess whether it is necessary to go for
00:29:46a health inspection as such or it is just an open
00:29:49question of organizational
00:29:51possibilities.
00:29:57Another court ruling against KBC Rijeka due to employee dismissals.
00:30:00The court incorrectly
00:30:02determined that the dismissal was unlawful. There are now a total of five such
00:30:06rulings, two are final. Dismissals were issued while the hospital
00:30:10was led by the current Minister of Labor
00:30:13Alen Ružić. He states that he has no problem with reviewing his
00:30:17decisions, and the union demands financial criminal
00:30:20responsibility.
00:30:22The dismissal was unlawful, ruled the Rijeka Municipal Court.
00:30:26This is the latest in a series of decisions in
00:30:29favor of the workers, but it is still not final. Predovan was
00:30:33dismissed during the mandate of the then director, and now
00:30:37Minister of Labor Alen Ružić. If there is any
00:30:40doubt about anyone's decisions, including my decisions
00:30:44when I was director, then let the system review
00:30:48it, it is not a problem at all,
00:30:52I don't think I have any personal responsibility
00:30:55in that sense of personal responsibility.
