00:00:53more football stories, information that Serbian
00:00:57end of the season with Swiss giant Basel.
00:01:06and France in the final of the European Championship for volleyball players.
00:01:10Russell, fastest in Baku, Antonelli ended up in the fence before the race for
00:01:13the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
00:01:16Magic in Turkey, a three-pointer for the win from across the
00:01:19court.
00:01:23You are watching Sport Club news, probably the biggest scandal in the history
00:01:27of the Premier League. Manchester City was found guilty, especially on all
00:01:30counts of the indictment relating to violations of financial regulations
00:01:34lowered himself to of the English League.
00:01:37After a months-long investigation and process that began with official accusations
00:01:41in February 2023,
00:01:43an independent commission ruled that the English giant was guilty of as many as
00:01:47114 out of a total of 115 counts in the indictment. Official sanctions for
00:01:51the club from Etihad have not yet been issued, but the spectrum
00:01:54of potential penalties is extremely wide and rigorous. According to the Premier League
00:01:57rulebook, City faces huge penalties, warnings,
00:02:01points deduction in the current season or
00:02:03retroactively, revocation of previously won trophies, all the way to
00:02:07the most drastic measure of expulsion from the elite tier of English football.
00:02:10Manchester City is expected to immediately appeal this decision, and the club
00:02:14issued a brief statement highlighting that the process is still
00:02:18ongoing and that they stand by their position from 2023,
00:02:21emphasizing that they followed the procedure. The investigation against
00:02:25Manchester City was launched after the German magazine Der Spiegel
00:02:29published financial documents at the end of 2018.
00:02:32The Premier League management then accused the club of concealing
00:02:35accurate financial information, irregularities regarding payments to players and
00:02:39coaches, and violating financial fair play rules and
00:02:43sustainability during the period from
00:02:44that? Well, I repeat what 2009 to 2018. During that period, under
00:02:48the ownership of Sheikh Mansour and his Abu Dhabi United Group,
00:02:52City won three English league titles, two FA Cups, and four
00:02:56League Cups. Let's remember, UEFA had already imposed a two-year
00:03:00suspension on City from European competitions in 2020, but that decision was later
00:03:03overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. This historic ruling comes at a
00:03:07time when Manchester City perfectly opened the new season under
00:03:10the leadership of the new manager Enzo Maresca, who succeeded Pep
00:03:14Guardiola on the bench.
00:03:18One piece of news from the European Volleyball Championship is that the finalists for the European Championship title
00:03:22have been determined, Poland and France will compete. Poland qualified
00:03:25for the final after defeating the Slovenian national team
00:03:303-0. It wasn't as smooth as the result
00:03:33suggests, it was 25-23, 25-23, a bit easier in
00:03:37the third set, 25-18. The current
00:03:39European champions reached the final for the eighth time in history and secured their
00:03:4311th medal in European championships. On the other hand,
00:03:46the Slovenians, who won bronze at the previous European championship, will have the opportunity to repeat their success
00:03:49and secure their fifth medal in European championships. This year, they won
00:03:53a historic bronze in the Nations League. Poland will play for European gold
00:03:56against France, which defeated Finland 3-1.
00:04:00the most pleasant surprise of the tournament, for the French it is the first final since
00:04:032015 when they won their only European
00:04:07title.
00:04:10Now in Formula 1, Briton George Russell secured the best
00:04:14starting position in qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Friday, while
00:04:17his Mercedes teammate and general classification leader Kimi Antonelli
00:04:21went off track and hit the barrier.
00:04:25protective fence.
00:04:27Mercedes driver George Russell took pole position ahead of the Azerbaijan
00:04:31Grand Prix, the 16th race of the Formula 1 season.
00:04:34The Briton demonstrated his dominance on the streets of Baku, where he secured
00:04:38the best starting position with a lap of one hour and 42
00:04:42minutes, 837 thousandths of a second ahead of
00:04:45Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari. Within one second of Russell was only
00:04:49McLaren driver Oscar Piastri, who was just a thousandth of a second behind
00:04:53the Monegasque. The qualification was also marked by a big mistake by the general classification leader
00:04:57Kimi Antonelli, who hit the protective barrier in the first
00:05:01corner and thus ended the fight for pole position. The young Italian will
00:05:04start from the 16th position in Saturday's race, as he had
00:05:08a good enough lap to qualify for the second part, but the damage was
00:05:11too serious to return to the track. The best among
00:05:15the rest was Isaac Hadjar from Red Bull. The reigning
00:05:18champion Lando Norris took only fifth place ahead of Lewis Hamilton in
00:05:22Ferrari, Alpine driver Pierre Gasly, and four-time world
00:05:26champion. The reigning champion Londonoris took fifth place
00:05:30ahead of Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari. The top 10
00:05:32was completed by Carlos Sainz Juniors from Williams and the second Alpine
00:05:36driver Franco Colapinto. The Azerbaijan
00:05:38Grand Prix starts on Saturday at 13:00. It was moved
00:05:42from the standard race day, Sunday, due to Memorial Day, which
00:05:46is celebrated on September
00:05:4827.
00:05:51We started the news with basketball, and we are finishing with basketball, three more
00:05:55interesting stories follow. LeBron James left
00:05:58the Lakers, that's not the only big change the team is
00:06:02facing before the new season. General Manager Rob Pelinka and
00:06:06coach JJ Redick held a press conference and spoke about
00:06:09various topics, including building a championship...
00:08:10we stay on American soil and related to NBA
00:08:13sad... news, legendary basketball player Bob Petit
00:08:17died at 94 years old.
00:08:20Bob Petit, the first recipient of the Most Valuable Player
00:08:24(MVP) award in NBA league history, died at 93
00:08:27years old, announced the Basketball Hall of Fame, into which he was inducted in
00:08:311971. The Basketball Hall of Fame described this basketball player as
00:08:35a giant of the game. He was the first recipient of the MVP award introduced
00:08:39in 1956. And he won that award
00:08:43a second time in 1959.
00:08:46Petit led the St. Louis Hawks to the NBA
00:08:50Championship title with a victory over Boston in 1958, when he scored
00:08:5450 points in the decisive sixth game of the
00:08:57series, which ended 110-109.
00:09:00The American basketball player, 2.06 meters tall, also became
00:09:04the first player in NBA league history to surpass the 20,000
00:09:07point mark. He concluded his career with a total of 20,
00:09:10880
00:09:12points. He was the league's top scorer twice,
00:09:16and achieved his best average in the 1961-62
00:09:18season, when he scored
00:09:2131.1 points per
00:09:23game. We will conclude, however, on
00:09:27a positive note. The play of the day
00:09:30comes from Turkey. Tofas was losing by
00:09:33two points in their home court to Bordo
00:09:36Bandirma. The visiting player missed a free throw. Saiber
00:09:39caught the ball and managed to make a shot from across the court in the last 8 seconds of the game,
00:09:43scoring for a great celebration. First round, first game,
00:09:46and a move that will probably mark the entire
00:09:50season. Saiber for the win from across the
00:09:53court.
00:10:01One piece of news from handball, the women's national team of Serbia lost convincingly

00:12:09Everyone has an opinion, the presentation of the solution for the new Maksimir stadium
00:12:13caused an avalanche of reactions, some praise it, some don't even want to hear
00:12:16about such a solution, social
00:12:18networks are burning.

00:12:42protests against Israeli policy in
00:12:46Gaza
00:12:47were held in front of the UN headquarters.
00:13:02After unsuccessful talks with the City of Zagreb and the managements of Zeta and
00:13:05Zagreb Holding, workers are going on strike. They demanded a
00:13:0919% increase in the basic wage and a new collective
00:13:12agreement, while the city states that such an increase would be
00:13:15financially irresponsible. What will the strike mean for the daily lives
00:13:19of Zagreb residents, how long could it last and who is responsible for its
00:13:23escalation? Victoria Kri brings us more.
00:13:27On Monday at 3:30 AM, some services that
00:13:30hundreds of thousands of people depend on daily will stop.
00:13:35There will be a disruption in public transport, but the consequences could
00:13:38also be felt by users of other city services. We apologize in some
00:13:42way to the citizens of Zagreb for these situations, however, the absolute responsibility for
00:13:46this situation lies with the management of Zagreb Electric Tram and the management of
00:13:49Zagreb Holding. The strike is a consequence of months-long but unsuccessful
00:13:53negotiations between the unions and the managements of Holding, Zeta, and the City of Zagreb.
00:13:57The city offered a 14% increase in the basic wage for the next 12
00:14:00months, which the unions did not accept. However, not
00:14:04everything will stop, some workers will have to ensure jobs that are considered
00:14:08essential. Emphasize that arbitration on the essential part
00:14:11is not over, so we in Zagreb
00:14:15Holding will perform that essential part that is
00:14:18needed, that is what what we must do, hospitals, kindergartens,
00:14:22schools, nursing homes, and all the rest. For the strike. 75%
00:14:25of the workers of Zagreb Holding voted, and
00:14:2878% of the workers of Zeta. The unions state that
00:14:32about 20% of the workers are on sick leave, it seems that almost everyone on
00:14:35Monday will not work. What will happen is what, unfortunately,
00:14:39will happen. Everything could have been avoided in time, if there had been will and desire.
00:14:42There was time, four months. Now, a week
00:14:46ago, our mayor decided to throw out some
00:14:49spins about some salaries, pay
00:14:52slips. By doing so, he put a target on... the workers, because now
00:14:56it's happening that workers are calling, that people, the passengers
00:14:59they transport, are targets of attacks from those same
00:15:02passengers, because with such salaries, it led to this. In order for the
00:15:05strike to be legal, essential jobs were defined. The employer proposed
00:15:09what percentage of workers must work, and the unions did not
00:15:13send a counter-proposal, according to the city. Mayor
00:15:16Tomašević is sharp. Given such irresponsibility, not
00:15:20about the strike, but about the way the strike
00:15:23is being conducted. "We do not intend to pay for such a strike,"
00:15:27that means that
00:15:30we call on workers to check with their unions whether
00:15:34they will pay them for the days they spend on strike." From the city assembly,
00:15:38there is a call for negotiations to continue.
00:15:41Assembly President Matej Mišić warns that the long-term increase
00:15:45in the cost of city services could end up on citizens'
00:15:48bills. We want sustainability
00:15:51of utility services and that the burden of the cost of
00:15:55utility services does not spill over to citizens.
00:15:58The spilling over of uh prices to citizens would mean an increase in
00:16:02bills, so here, I'll give an example, the price
00:16:05of waste collection to... citizens, which we absolutely
00:16:09want to avoid, and what citizens will feel already on
00:16:13Monday is difficult movement around the city, due to a smaller number
00:16:16of drivers, larger crowds and delays are expected,
00:16:20most passengers will have to find an alternative, not
00:16:23citizens who don't have to go to the city, that of course they don't
00:16:26do that, that those who have to
00:16:30go, plan more time for travel, because
00:16:33we expect significantly increased crowds, because citizens will
00:16:37use personal cars more than usual, so I expect then
00:16:41significantly larger crowds, we call on citizens who can
00:16:44to not be one, one,
00:16:47one person in a car, if they are already driving
00:16:50cars, but to be several, he says that they are always
00:16:54open for discussion, but that this is a union ultimatum. On the
00:16:58other hand, unions warn, the strike will last until an
00:17:01agreement is reached. Victoria Kristić,
00:17:03N1.
00:17:07And now Mr. Dražen Jović, president of the Trade Union of Transport
00:17:11and Communal Services of Croatia, has joined me in the studio. Mr.
00:17:13Jović, welcome to the daily review. Good day, warm greetings to you and your
00:17:17viewers. So, we heard the report,
00:17:20we heard your side, that is, the side of the unions, we heard what
00:17:24the other side says, that is, the management of Holding and
00:17:27the city. Mayor Tomašević claims that the salaries
00:17:30of Zeta employees have risen significantly in recent years
00:17:33and that your current demands are, as he said, somewhat
00:17:37surprising even. So, the
00:17:40management offers a 4.5% increase in the basic wage and
00:17:43automatic adjustment for inflation, we know that. Why
00:17:46is that not enough for you, and what must be offered to
00:17:50postpone the strike, or cancel it? Well,
00:17:54honestly, it's increasingly sad and lamentable to listen to the press
00:17:58conferences of Mayor Tomašević, because, you see, we
00:18:01learn something new every time. First, we
00:18:03learned last time he had a press conference that he was surprised
00:18:07that there were problems, that collective negotiations were opening with our
00:18:11proposals, even though collective negotiations in Zagreb
00:18:15Electric Tram started on June 1st and in Zagreb
00:18:18Holding on July 1st. That's almost three or four full
00:18:21months ago. After two months of negotiations, we received
00:18:25feedback from the employer's negotiating committee that they had to consult someone in
00:18:28the city for every proposal we made. We assume that was
00:18:32Mayor Tomašević. After three or four months, we are now hearing that someone... is surprised
00:18:36by the whole story. Today, we heard
00:18:39another completely unbelievable piece of information, now we
00:18:43have already reached 14%. Now Mayor Tomašević
00:18:47is talking about what happened since the New Year, that salaries went up by
00:18:504.4% since the New Year, but we are not in a dispute here about the old
00:18:54collective agreement or any rights, we are here in a dispute about concluding a new
00:18:58collective agreement. The new collective agreement, in
00:19:01essence, the old collective agreement in Zeta expired on
00:19:05March 31st. In Zagreb Holding, it expired on
00:19:08May 15th, which is almost five or six
00:19:10months ago. Today we hear that they are referring to the old collective agreement,
00:19:14to the current one, meaning 4.4%, yes, their first proposal today,
00:19:18preparing for this show, was the first time they put forward a proposal for a 3%
00:19:22increase in Zagreb Electric Tramway on
00:19:24September 7th. So, about twenty
00:19:28days ago. What I want to tell you is, today we already heard that he
00:19:31foresees that it might go up by 4.5% from the New Year. So,
00:19:35we have now heard what it was, it was 4.5%, what
00:19:39was proposed, 4.5%, or what it will be from the New Year,
00:19:434.5%. I think, if Mayor Tomašević holds a
00:19:46press conference today, tomorrow, or Sunday, we will find out that it was even 20%. What
00:19:50the unions demanded from the beginning, that is,
00:19:53discussions on a collective agreement that would last two or three years,
00:19:56all these rights or some things that were postponed in previous
00:20:00collective negotiations or in the one before that, for example, external
00:20:03transport, we know what the situation is with fuel prices.
00:20:07"We know that a large number of our workers travel outside Zagreb, from Krapina, from
00:20:11Sisak-Moslavina County. After
00:20:14every negotiation, it was, previous ones, 'we'll solve it next
00:20:17time,' loyalty bonus to the employer, complexity
00:20:20groups, meaning these are all some proposals about which
00:20:24we were ready to talk, when I say 'were ready to talk', yes, we presented our
00:20:28proposals, among them, of course, is the basic salary, but we were
00:20:31ready to talk, are these the amounts that we
00:20:34proposed, we could talk about implementation,
00:20:38whether something will be from September 1st, from the new year, or eventually during
00:20:41next year, and we were ready to talk about that, however, the whole
00:20:45time we encountered, already in a
00:20:47later stage of negotiations, 'take it or leave it'. Of course, when the
00:20:51negotiations started reconciliation, the same continued, and in the end we came to where
00:20:55we are, meaning you didn't even get to discuss
00:20:59certain figures, that is, the amounts of what you want, but the mayor
00:21:02says that you were the ones who abruptly left the talks, well,
00:21:06look, I mean, the mayor wasn't even at any meeting, meaning
00:21:10the mayor speaks through his negotiating committee
00:21:13members, I think it would be reasonable and acceptable
00:21:16for the mayor to have called the unions, to have tried to talk to
00:21:20"he used to do that sometimes, but the unions are not eager to talk to
00:21:23the mayor, they didn't abruptly stop, but
00:21:27on September 10th of this year, that is, 15 days ago, the mediation in Zagreb
00:21:31Holding was stopped, the unions only had a
00:21:33press conference on September 18th, eight days after that,
00:21:37we expected someone might, we're not talking about the mayor now, someone would
00:21:41say 'we're ready to talk, we're ready to see what can be done',
00:21:44however, no, that did not happen,
00:21:47uh, what kind of situation are the unions in." found themselves in, that
00:21:51is enough to show you that what we have now, what we initiated with the story about
00:21:54essential and production-maintaining jobs, was not initiated by the
00:21:57mayor but by the unions at their press
00:22:00conferences. Uh, how the negotiations
00:22:03went tells you enough that we received those
00:22:07employer proposals only during the mediation phase, in Zeta they were
00:22:11literally handed to us on the last day on September 10th. We have
00:22:14certain deadlines, we adhered to those deadlines,
00:22:18we responded to their proposals. proposals, however, if you have
00:22:22that 41%
00:22:24of jobs in Zeta, positions should be working, or 38% of the total
00:22:28number of jobs in Zagreb Holding, then that is contrary to the provisions of the Labor
00:22:31Law, where they try to limit workers' right to
00:22:35strike. In essence, how they treat their own workers, today's data from Zagreb Holding where
00:22:38a circular letter is being sent, where lists are already being made, some kind of inventories,
00:22:42plans that people already have to workers have to declare
00:22:46whether they support the strike, whether they will participate... in this strike, meaning pressure is already being
00:22:50applied today, you say that pressure is being applied on workers, yes, absolutely pressure is being applied, see,
00:22:54we have also notified, we have of course these messages, we
00:22:58have, so, emails circulating through the branches
00:23:00of Zagreb Holding in this case, this is
00:23:04of course something that tries to in some way, uh, circumvent
00:23:07legal provisions that no one should put pressure when we talk about
00:23:11the right to strike for any worker.
00:23:14From the city, there are messages that what the unions are asking for would simply be...
00:23:18financially unsustainable, so they state that today
00:23:21decisively and claim it, uh,
00:23:24it would mean tens of millions of euros, if it were fulfilled,
00:23:28everything would spill over, they say, to the end users, that is, to
00:23:31prices, what do you say to
00:23:34I said earlier in a shorter form, the unions were ready throughout the collective
00:23:38bargaining and mediation process to sit down and discuss
00:23:42absolute amounts and were ready to discuss the implementation
00:23:45deadlines, we only received at one point... from the Management of Zagreb
00:23:49Holding some packages of three
00:23:53or four million, which is far from our proposals. When we talk
00:23:57about price spillover, it's always the same spin and the same story. It's attributed
00:24:00to the end users. What I can tell you
00:24:04is how workers feel, these are the lists that came out with salaries, meaning these are
00:24:08individual cases of workers who really have certain
00:24:12amounts stated there, but these are people who have 200 hours of overtime,
00:24:15who work in shifts, who have four or five days off, who have four or more...
00:24:20dependent family members who work in shifts on Saturdays, Sundays,
00:24:23overtime hours, then you can imagine how those workers
00:24:26feel, you can imagine how those colleagues who actually work for the
00:24:30salary we mentioned, meaning it's no secret, the base salary in
00:24:34Zagreb Holding and Zeta is 592 euros, so multiply that by
00:24:38the job position coefficient and if any job position has a certain
00:24:41bonus, meaning there is no no mistakes
00:24:44no mistakes in what we said, I say this is
00:24:48a situation that will probably escalate.
00:24:50a situation, I say, that in our opinion should not have happened, not that we
00:24:54are now justifying ourselves or making excuses, we were ready to discuss everything, but
00:24:58on the other hand, it is now clear after three or four months that
00:25:01there was no intention at all to try to agree and that is why we
00:25:05are in the situation we are in. The strike will not be paid,
00:25:08let the workers who are on strike contact their
00:25:11union leaders for those days to be paid, that is roughly
00:25:15Tomislav Tomašević's message today who will pay the dane. It is the
00:25:19employer's right to pay or not to pay for the days spent on strike, we know that
00:25:2228.9. the salary
00:25:25for the workers of the Zagreb Electric Tram and the Zagreb Holding is 10.10 in
00:25:29this case, we will see, the unions will react and
00:25:32we will see what will happen in the next 15 days, what
00:25:36do you tell the citizens of Zagreb who on Monday could not only,
00:25:40but it seems they will be without public transport and some
00:25:43other services, how long could that strike
00:25:46last? Well, we cannot predict how long the strike
00:25:49will last. It would be really irresponsible on our part, however, regardless of what anyone
00:25:53said or what anyone spoke, if we say that the workers were left without
00:25:56a collective agreement in ZET 31.3 negotiations
00:25:59started 1.6. If in the holding company, the collective agreement
00:26:03expired 15.5, negotiations started 1.7. We had two
00:26:07or three months to solve this problem, we saw and
00:26:10concluded from the mayor's statements that he has no intention of discussing
00:26:14this, of course, no responsibility is on the unions anymore
00:26:17but precisely on the administrations or negotiating committees and ultimately, of course,
00:26:21on the mayor and the team of people around him who allowed
00:26:24them to be surprised after three, four or five
00:26:27months that they have problems in certain commercial companies.
00:26:31Unfortunately, unfortunately. "If there is a strike, of course there will be a suspension of
00:26:35traffic in all components in all commercial companies, we are talking
00:26:38about the Zagreb Electric Tram, the Zagreb Holding
00:26:41of course the strike starts at 3:30 and 30 minutes, specifically
00:26:45for ZET, i.e. the Zagreb electric tram transport, that is where
00:26:48the most problems are expected, uh, you are being accused
00:26:52of irresponsibility, so do you still stand by
00:26:55that public transport will not operate at all? Anyone who
00:26:59accused us of irresponsibility or inconsideration is..." one should remember that
00:27:03three months ago, four months ago, these are his
00:27:06employees, meaning when we say his employees, these are the employees of those
00:27:09commercial companies owned by the city of Zagreb with messages like
00:27:13that something is given to them, that they are getting something, meaning
00:27:17these are workers who earn their
00:27:21salaries, these are workers who perform crucial jobs
00:27:24related to municipal and transport services in the city of Zagreb, these are workers who
00:27:28deserve, above all, the respect of their employer, in this case, if we want to simplify it...
00:27:31The employer is Mayor Tomašević, he should have
00:27:37that level, he should have seen what was in those
00:27:40negotiations, now what he says, he says his
00:27:43relayed experiences from people who were in collective negotiations on the employer's
00:27:47side, and the responsibility is, of course, absolutely his if we have
00:27:51collective agreements that have expired or if we have negotiations that last three or four
00:27:54months, and don't forget, I always like to point out, the mediation
00:27:58ended on 10.9, the unions
00:28:01on 18.9 after eight days had their first press
00:28:04conference, they gave some activity roadmap for the next 10
00:28:08days, so we gave a full 17
00:28:11to 18 days for this situation to try and be resolved, no one called
00:28:14us to say let's sit down, to be fair there was one unofficial
00:28:18meeting at ZET, there was one unofficial meeting at the Zagreb Holding, but those
00:28:22meetings were about, let's talk
00:28:24about the same package they have up there, which is 4.5% and
00:28:28indexation of salaries, nothing, not a cent up or a cent down, we had that
00:28:32previously. three or four months and that's why the unions did not agree yesterday to an
00:28:35additional meeting with the management of the Zagreb Holding, alright, some
00:28:39essential services still have to remain functional, they have to be
00:28:43ensured, what services will those be, will waste be
00:28:46taken away from hospitals, say kindergartens, is there
00:28:50an agreement among you how many workers will still have to work and
00:28:54what jobs during the strike? I told you during this conversation how
00:28:57malicious the employer's
00:29:00intention was that they did not want to...
00:29:02discuss those essential production jobs
00:29:05that are mandatory, say two months ago, three months ago,
00:29:09they remembered to discuss that within the last 15 days, I said,
00:29:12for example, in the Zagreb Electric Tram, these jobs, their proposal was offered
00:29:16on 10.9. so that was recently, and
00:29:2041% was offered. Of course, we cannot accept
00:29:2341% and 38%, if there had been good will, if there had been good intentions,
00:29:27if there had been any negotiation in
00:29:31good faith, we would have resolved it... or two months ago, however, the moment
00:29:34they decided that such a large number of workers had to work, of course,
00:29:38that caused a revolt primarily among the workers, primarily among the workers, but
00:29:41when the workers heard that their proposal was 4.5%, you can
00:29:45imagine how that additionally, with this notion that someone is giving them a salary,
00:29:48they are receiving a salary or something, that caused additional uproar. When we talk
00:29:52about essential jobs, yes, we said today at
00:29:55the press conference, of course, that city cemeteries will do what they need to
00:29:58do, that Zagreb's cleanliness...
00:30:02uh, will carry out waste removal related to hospitals, kindergartens,
00:30:06that the Zagreb Electric Tram will do what it can and what is
00:30:10essential and urgent, which is the transport of people with
00:30:14disabilities, school transport, however much of it there
00:30:17is, it will be carried out, but no one can say that the turnout,
00:30:21especially in today's time in a situation where
00:30:24citizens tried to turn around according to
00:30:27the mayor's statements interpreted in a way that makes it seem they all have high
00:30:31salaries, not that these are... individual cases. We will hold Mayor
00:30:35Tomašević and the management of the Zagreb Electric Tram and the Zagreb
00:30:38Holding responsible if it happens that any of our members
00:30:42or our workers are injured if they are forced to
00:30:45perform some duties that are not essential. This should have been
00:30:49taken into account during these collective negotiations, during the mediation process, and
00:30:52from 10.9 until today, 25.9, in 15
00:30:56days we could have sat down, talked, seen, maybe we would have found something.
