00:00:00to answer the questions what they have done so far
00:00:04in their mandate regarding water supply, why
00:00:07the pumps that should have been installed were not installed,
00:00:11why 50,000 marks that were intended for the preparation
00:00:15of studies were directed to the festival
00:00:18and when will our taps only have
00:00:21air, not water?
00:00:24the city of Goraž within my mandate undertook everything to bring March
00:00:286th to let's say a state that can be said to be
00:00:32zeroed, that's regarding these settlements where there is no
00:00:35water, with an operational plan now immediately where it's possible
00:00:39to set up and not return everything, I would like these
00:00:42citizens to protest to the political elites who in the 90s
00:00:46and 2021 raised millions of amounts and did
00:00:50nothing for the people, today they are here in front of the city administration, no, that means
00:00:54that robbery and everything that was done that was not carried out to the end, a question for
00:00:57the prosecutor's office, not for Mayor Imamović. Black understands
00:01:01and I will do everything in these settlements where there was once
00:01:04water to bring water again to the state that is technically possible
00:01:08now, projects, all these that we have, we will put into
00:01:11function. Second, uh, certain, certain, certain,
00:01:15let's say, political centers of power who appear on television
00:01:19and talk about what the problem is, I would invite them to take on responsible positions
00:01:23and be directors, and then they'll see what it's like to solve
00:01:26N1info.BH. Thank you for water supply. The story about
00:01:30the Bijambare majorities is announced in the continuation, and then
00:01:31this one too.
00:01:35Vjetrenica becomes a refuge from the heat, the cave attracts
00:01:39more and more
00:01:39tourists.
00:01:44High temperatures, full swimming pools and other bathing areas, but more
00:01:47and more citizens find refreshment in nature. Bijambare are among
00:01:51the favorite destinations to escape the heat. The caves
00:01:55attract the most attention
00:01:57of visitors.
00:02:00Temperatures across Bosnia and Herzegovina reach their
00:02:03summer maximum, many seek refuge from the heat in
00:02:06nature. One of the favorite places for a break is
00:02:10the protected landscape of Bijambare, where dense forest, clean
00:02:13air and natural shade provide refreshment upon
00:02:17Mrkonja, and you are watching sports news on arrival. We are coming here for the first time, whenever we go towards
00:02:21Sarajevo, we see it here, we never return, now we have come specifically to
00:02:24explore this part of Bosnia as well. And what are the
00:02:27impressions? Fascinating, first of all. Everyone
00:02:30thought they wouldn't like it, but everyone is delighted, we come here
00:02:33simply because it's beautiful, because
00:02:36nature is clean and the air - we love nature,
00:02:40simply. Precisely because of the lower temperatures that are
00:02:43felt, but also because of the untouched nature,
00:02:46this area is a favorite refuge for all those
00:02:50who seek salvation from summer heat, but
00:02:53the biggest attraction of this area are precisely the caves
00:02:56where the temperature throughout the year is only
00:03:005 degrees Celsius, precisely because of this
00:03:03visitors, especially in summer, experience a real temperature
00:03:07shock, in the cave it is definitely a shock, but
00:03:11this is worth visiting, worth seeing, definitely worth visiting,
00:03:15only, as I said, you need to bring something with
00:03:18you, so that the temperature is a little
00:03:21more adaptable, because it's really a shock when you go down there,
00:03:25last year we were here, I was dressed like this in this environment
00:03:29and it was unpleasant, especially when
00:03:32you go a little deeper down and this year I didn't
00:03:36plan to. There are a total of eight caves in this
00:03:39area, but the Middle Cave stands out as the main
00:03:42tourist attraction, and it is also the most visited.
00:03:46Its interior is adorned with flowstone baths, cave
00:03:49decorations, a musical hall. This main
00:03:53cave is open from April to November. Visitors
00:03:56have the opportunity to come here every day during that
00:04:00period. Honestly, for me, the most beautiful time
00:04:03of the year to visit is somehow at the beginning of
00:04:06spring, at the end of autumn, then the temperatures are quite
00:04:09pleasant outside, and the difference
00:04:13in relation to the temperature in the cave is quite
00:04:16smaller, and usually everyone brings jackets then, but
00:04:19in the summer we record a really large number
00:04:23of visitors. In addition to natural beauty and refreshment,
00:04:27visitors can also access a new speleological exhibition,
00:04:30through which they can learn more about this protected
00:04:33area. Precisely such content, as well as summer
00:04:37heat, contribute to the increasing interest of
00:04:40tourists. As far as I'm concerned, it's wonderful, because I'm escaping, escaping
00:04:43the heat, and visitors also come here to escape these
00:04:47extreme heats. Generally, there are many
00:04:49guests, an increase of about 15 to 20%
00:04:53compared to last year. visitors.
00:04:55Um, mostly our diaspora and approximately
00:04:59there are these guests from the Middle East, they now
00:05:03predominate. While cities struggle with summer heat, Bijambare
00:05:06remains a place where nature offers what air conditioners
00:05:10cannot, that is fresh air. air, shade and complete
00:05:14peace. Dragica Pejaković,
00:05:16N1. Numerous tourists find refreshment
00:05:20in the Vjetrenica cave, where the temperature throughout the year is
00:05:23around 11 degrees. Reuters
00:05:27also reported on this natural attraction under UNESCO
00:05:30protection. It is located in the municipality of Ravno, due to
00:05:33the sensitivity of the ecosystem, the number of visitors is limited to groups
00:05:37of up to 80 people. According to director Davor
00:05:41Baković, more than half of last year's 21,000
00:05:44visitors came during the summer months. Vjetrenica is also
00:05:48a habitat for hundreds of specific organisms, the most famous of which
00:05:52is the human fish.
00:05:55UNESCO actually recognized Vjetrenica precisely under category 10
00:05:58which implies biodiversity. Vjetrenica today belongs to
00:06:02the world's top when it comes to the number of living organisms with
00:06:05231 species of organisms recorded
00:06:09here from the 19th century to today and we always particularly
00:06:12like to emphasize how for the first time actually 37
00:06:16animal species were precisely described in
00:06:19Vjetrenica as a subterranean ecosystem and as such they were actually
00:06:23precisely found for the first time inhabiting only in our
00:06:26area. we're protecting proteus by
00:06:30protecting its natural habitats, in other words the
00:06:33cave systems in which the proteus lives, and to do
00:06:37that, to do conservation management, we have to
00:06:39focus on concentrating the attention
00:06:47Sarajevo continues to break tourist records. The Tourist
00:06:50Board continuously records an increase in the number of guests
00:06:54and overnight stays. Others in the federation are not
00:06:56shining.
00:06:58The tourist season in Sarajevo is at its peak, and the streets of the capital
00:07:02are full of guests from all over the world. In July alone, Sarajevo
00:07:05Canton was visited by more than 112,000
00:07:08tourists who recorded almost 242,000
00:07:11overnight stays. Compared to the same month last year, arrivals and
00:07:15overnight stays increased, most foreign guests came from Turkey,
00:07:19Saudi Arabia, Slovenia, Israel and
00:07:21China. We're from the Netherlands, we
00:07:25just arrived in Sarajevo yesterday. Bosnia is a beautiful country and we really enjoy
00:07:29this city. It's very pleasant, beautiful, the coffee is
00:07:33great. Originally from Morocco, we live in
00:07:37the Netherlands. The first impression is excellent.
00:07:41I really love Sarajevo. It's a beautiful place, the people are very
00:07:44nice, from Zagreb, mm,
00:07:46fourth time, I think in Sarajevo, yes it is, I think it is,
00:07:50I like it, I really like it, it has soul, I'm from
00:07:53Croatia, my family is originally from the area of
00:07:57Jajce, and we came now to
00:08:00do a whole tour of Bosnia. We are from Cazin, we have been here
00:08:03for a long time and we come every
00:08:07year three or four times to enjoy it because
00:08:10Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and the most beautiful city of Bosnia. Since the beginning
00:08:13of the year, the number of arrivals has remained almost at last year's level, but
00:08:17the number of overnight stays has increased by 5.2%. Well, what
00:08:20attracts mm people, that is, tourists to Sarajevo is the very
00:08:24story of history, or even sometimes recommendations from their
00:08:27friends who have been there and experienced Sarajevo in
00:08:30a special way, and what charms them is the city
00:08:34itself, the people, the history, the culture, so they decide to
00:08:37stay longer. More tourists mean more shoppers and
00:08:41guests in Baščaršija. Increased visits are felt in souvenir shops,
00:08:45craft shops, and catering establishments.
00:08:48Souvenirs, mostly these of ours, products, coffee pots,
00:08:52sets, then magnets. This
00:08:55year is better than previous ones, all, foreigners who come
00:08:59here, they already
00:09:02know what they are looking for, they know what they will buy
00:09:06and additional impetus to tourism is given by large concerts, festivals and
00:09:09cultural events. During three days of Dino Merlin's concerts in
00:09:13Sarajevo Canton, almost 156 million
00:09:17convertible marks of fiscal turnover were recorded, almost 49%
00:09:20more than during the comparable weekend a month earlier. The
00:09:24Tourist Board expects that similar effects will be had by the events that
00:09:27follow, including the Sarajevo Film Festival. These are
00:09:31events that enrich the tourist offer, that's the first thing that brings
00:09:35people to a destination, and above all
00:09:38they stay in the destination, when you visit Sarajevo, Sarajevo
00:09:42mountains or the tunnel and Baščaršija, you have to have
00:09:45something, this, these are festivals, these are gastronomic,
00:09:48musical, mm, a lot of culture that
00:09:52will keep visitors in the destination, to see something,
00:09:55to listen to something, as you know, in about seven days there's a big
00:09:59event in Grbavica, which is already sold out. Sarajevo
00:10:03is recording growth, but if we look at the overall data for the Federation of Bosnia
00:10:07and Herzegovina, in June almost 10%
00:10:10fewer tourists were registered than a year earlier, while the number of overnight stays fell
00:10:13by 5.6%. There is a crisis with our neighbors and
00:10:17on a global level, Croatia has, I don't know,
00:10:20calculated a 7-8% shortage, they were
00:10:24precise about... because they have a lot of online bookings, that they have
00:10:2723% fewer Germans this year alone, so
00:10:31wars in the Middle East, wars in Ukraine and a major economic crisis
00:10:34in the European Union, primarily in Germany, result in
00:10:38a decline everywhere. Sarajevo at least for now stands out from that
00:10:42trend, and if the current indicators are anything to go by, the crowds in
00:10:45the streets of the capital will last for some time longer. Feđa

00:10:52In the Bosnian Cultural Center in Tuzla, a book
00:10:55"Send me a clump of raspberries" by Salih
00:10:58Strašević was promoted. It is a novel that shatters prejudices,
00:11:02breaks down entrenched stereotypes and reveals
00:11:05the dark sides of historical events that Bosnia
00:11:08and Herzegovina went through from the agrarian reform of
00:11:111918 to the end of the Second World War.
00:11:15This is a work that bravely delves into the most sensitive parts of our past
00:11:18and opens up questions that have been silent for a long time, it was said at
00:11:22the promotion of economic persecution, the confiscation
00:11:25of land from beys and descendants of medieval
00:11:29Bosnian nobility, and political and social turbulences
00:11:32are shown through the fates of people who
00:11:34time.
00:11:36Five years of collecting material was extremely
00:11:40difficult because the topic is sensitive, and information
00:11:43was not so readily available to the public, so I
00:11:46what was according to the material I
00:11:50could gather from books, so
00:11:53that was, that was... the backbone of my book, all those conversations
00:11:57I had, so that topic is still somehow interesting among
00:12:01people,
00:12:04what Strašević brought out in this book is that if we had known certain
00:12:07things in the 80s, we would have approached the 90s in a much
00:12:11different way, that is the greatest significance of this book for me,
00:12:15he covered a period uh
00:12:18of our society uh Bosnia and Herzegovina in a certain
00:12:21geopolitical context about a hundred years ago, and
00:12:25similar things we can find even today.
00:12:28continuation and sports
00:12:30news.
00:13:52the popular Horde Zla, will not attend
00:13:55the upcoming match against the first round of the BiH Premier
00:13:58League, in which the maroon team hosts Bjeljinski Radnik in Mostar at the Rođeni
00:14:01stadium in Vrapčići. We are witnesses that
00:14:05postponing matches, changing dates or swapping
00:14:08home venues is a perfectly normal practice in the world of football, but for people
00:14:12within the club these are abstract concepts of missed opportunities to
00:14:16finally resolve the situation regarding stadium management,
00:14:19it is superfluous to waste words. We do not want to diminish
00:14:23the responsibility of the Centar municipality and its false promises regarding the pitch
00:14:27and the reconstruction of the stadium itself. We call upon
00:14:29the employees of the Sarajevo Football Club to finally seriously
00:14:33approach the management of the club so that the same can be returned to where it belongs,
00:14:36i.e. to the very top. We also want to mention that this year
00:14:40we are celebrating 80 years of the existence of the Sarajevo Football Club, nothing
00:14:44else but trophies and success interests us, the statement concludes.
00:17:12The weather forecast is brought to us by Radmila Mitrović.
00:17:16A slight drop in temperature is forecast, but it will remain
00:17:19very warm. Daily maximums for the weekend
00:17:23will range up to 35 degrees, in the south up to
00:17:2638. An increase in humidity in the air
00:17:30is expected, so it will be at the council meeting of the Croatian Olympic Committee.
00:17:34Siniša Krajač. Varvodić says no.
00:17:37The vote of no confidence in Krajač was sufficiently stated in the campaign.
00:17:58Could one of the biggest ecological affairs in Croatia
00:18:02have had fewer consequences if institutions had reacted
00:18:05earlier? After USKOK published the results of the expert report
00:18:09confirming serious pollution in the area
00:18:11of the illegal waste disposal site in Gospić, citizens are demanding
00:18:15immediate remediation and warn that time is working against them.
00:18:19The opposition, however, demands from the government the declaration of an extraordinary
00:18:22ecological crisis state for Lika and Northern Primorje, while the authorities
00:18:25claim that there is no quick solution for such a complex case.
00:18:29What do the expert findings show, why are citizens
00:18:32criticizing institutions and what are the possibilities of remediation,
00:18:36in Ivan Hrstić's report.
00:18:38The alarmingly dangerous pollution has been discussed for
00:18:41months, but the results of the expert report, which USKOK
00:18:44is publishing due to justified public interest, shock
00:18:48Gospić, Lika and all of Croatia. Citizens demand
00:18:51immediate action. The expert report, as stated by the association
00:18:55"Gospić is ours", says that toxic particles disperse 200
00:18:58meters from the waste. Within a radius of up to 200 meters, there are already
00:19:01houses from the waste. How is it possible that public health
00:19:05institutes, the Ministry of Health, whoever
00:19:08"did not give health guidelines to the citizens of Gospić
00:19:11on how to behave in a given situation, today
00:19:14we have a situation of very hot
00:19:18weather, it has been going on for, I don't know, a week, it will last another week, every day instructions
00:19:22from public health institutes come out, how to behave when
00:19:25we go out, whether to wear hats, whether to put on cream, whether to expose
00:19:28ourselves to the sun, whether to swim and so on. To our request for a
00:19:32spokesperson from the Croatian Institute of Public Health,
00:19:36today we first receive..." A very short answer. The Croatian Institute of Public
00:19:39Health was not involved in this case, so we could not
00:19:43comment on the findings. Please, request a comment from the institution
00:19:47that conducted the analysis and published the findings. It seems that
00:19:50the HZJZ itself feels bypassed in the whole story
00:19:54because no one asked them anything, but again that raises the same
00:19:57question. Well, is that possible? The very fact that hazardous
00:20:01waste is buried in the ground in our opinion required an extraordinary
00:20:05situation from the beginning. To our renewed
00:20:08inquiry, however, the first recommendation arrives: citizens are advised not to enter
00:20:12the landfill area, not to touch or move waste and
00:20:15contaminated soil, and to prevent children and
00:20:19pets from accessing that location. It is also
00:20:21recommended to avoid activities that could raise dust at the
00:20:25location itself. Of course, current politics is also involved in
00:20:29everything, and we will get straight to the point, so it is about national
00:20:33treason. So we are talking now
00:20:35about serious national treason and,
00:20:39therefore, endangering the national security of our people,
00:20:43why do we say it is national treason, because we tested
00:20:46the water a year ago, the Lika-Senj county prefect
00:20:50demands criminal responsibility for those who are guilty of it, as well as
00:20:53for the past year and a half I insist that criminal responsibility
00:20:57be initiated against all responsible persons from the lowest link
00:21:01to the highest link who deposited waste here, imported it
00:21:05into the area of Gospić, and that they be held accountable for the crime
00:21:08committed against the citizens of Gospić. The Minister of Environmental Protection
00:21:11states that even before the publication of these findings, they were looking for contractors
00:21:15who are able to handle hazardous ecotoxic
00:21:19waste. I would not say that the extent of the
00:21:22ecological catastrophe has only been revealed
00:21:25since yesterday, namely, since the first USKOK statement,
00:21:28we have been constantly talking practically about a crime against the environment,
00:21:32a criminal offense against the environment, about pollution
00:21:35and about the consequences for soil, air and water,
00:21:39also all initiated procurement procedures of the Ministry
00:21:42of Environmental Protection and Green Transition
00:21:45have therefore stated that it is hazardous
00:21:48waste, but she says... A crucial negotiation process does not
00:21:52guarantee faster disposal of hazardous waste, which is unfortunately
00:21:56long-term. We adhere to the remediation,
00:21:59we want it to be as fast as possible. We asked
00:22:01openly, uh, we asked openly if in reality
00:22:05there actually is an urgent, urgent
00:22:08remediation procedure for such heterogeneous waste, there
00:22:12isn't. It can bring 15 or 30 days, but what
00:22:16does it bring to the process of disposing of hazardous
00:22:19heterogeneous waste, which usually takes much, much
00:22:22longer, we have not received an answer to that
00:22:26question, more disposal options, the first are on site
00:22:29and it seems they have been written off in advance. Citizens are full
00:22:33of distrust towards that, and we are not
00:22:36inclined to consider that option in detail,
00:22:39although, uh, there are experts who
00:22:42consider it necessary to consider. Obviously, the option of sending
00:22:45it to landfills abroad, to the former
00:22:49salt mine, and then the most expensive option, sending it to
00:22:53incinerators, also outside Croatia, is being pursued. Before choosing, the
00:22:56minister says, they will listen to the requests of citizens and will present all
00:23:00options at a joint meeting. Ivan Hrstić,
00:23:04N1, Zagreb.
00:23:07So, the question is no longer whether there is a problem, but how long it will last
00:23:11and how that problem will be solved. We will discuss
00:23:15remediation models and deadlines with
00:23:19Mirko Budiša, Deputy Director of the Environmental Protection and Energy
00:23:21Efficiency Fund. We are live, welcome to the
00:23:25program. My first question is, can I get a clear answer
00:23:28from you today about which remediation model will be implemented, when
00:23:32it will start, and by when the hazardous waste will be, when
00:23:36it will be removed from Gospić.
00:23:39First of all, good day and thank you for the invitation. I will try to answer
00:23:43your question as concretely as possible.
00:23:46Approximately 40 tons
00:23:49of various waste, from hazardous to non-hazardous, are currently
00:23:52located at the site according to our estimates. It was disposed of in different parts
00:23:56of the site, and that is why we divided the remediation itself into three
00:24:00phases: the first phase refers to the
00:24:03remediation of a part of plastic waste in the amount of
00:24:074,500 tons located in the central location around
00:24:10the Silos. An open public procurement procedure is
00:24:13underway, the opening of bids is
00:24:15on August 25th,
00:24:17so very soon, the value of this procurement is 4.7 million euros
00:24:21without VAT, and we hope that we will get an interested
00:24:25economic entity that will remove
00:24:28this waste, I would like to remind you that another
00:24:31open public procurement procedure is underway for part
00:24:35of phase two, these are these big bag sacks that we are currently
00:24:38watching, it is about 650 tons
00:24:41of non-hazardous waste, the procurement value is 400,000 euros without
00:24:45VAT and also the opening of bids is August 25th,
00:24:49what... what is really complex
00:24:52and what will be a challenge is the waste
00:24:55inside these closed halls, so, for
00:24:59which we are in the process of preparing a remediation plan, we estimate that there are
00:25:03approximately 6,000 tons, mostly
00:25:06non-hazardous, but we cannot rule out that there is hazardous waste inside.
00:25:09Phase three is this part buried in the amount of
00:25:1337,000 tons, here we are analyzing more
00:25:17technical-technological options. So,
00:25:21without prioritizing which one it will be, the point is that the waste
00:25:25at the site itself can be encapsulated, meaning
00:25:28enclosed with a waterproof cover layer to prevent
00:25:31the infiltration of precipitation into such waste, and thus prevent
00:25:34contamination of groundwater and aquifers.
00:25:38The second option is the excavation of that waste and transport to a hazardous waste
00:25:41landfill. Unfortunately, in Croatia, we do not have such
00:25:45a landfill, but we have sent inquiries to about ten
00:25:48addresses across the European Union to see
00:25:52what the possibilities are for disposing of that waste outside
00:25:55Croatia. The third option is related to
00:25:58the incineration of that waste and the fourth and last option that
00:26:02we are considering is so-called stabilization, meaning that
00:26:06non-hazardous waste is actually converted from hazardous to non-hazardous waste
00:26:09through physical-chemical, technological processes
00:26:13and disposed of as such. We will consider
00:26:16all these variants, we will have a multi-criteria
00:26:19analysis and thus we will choose the variant that
00:26:22we consider to be technically, economically, of course,
00:26:25and ecologically the most suitable. We will present this
00:26:29at the end of September to representatives of the public from
00:26:33the area of the city of Gospić, mhm, I hear a lot of big numbers here,
00:26:364,500 tons, 6,000 tons,
00:26:4037 tons, you say yourself, actually only
00:26:43on August 25th, these public tenders will be implemented,
00:26:47it will certainly take until the end of September, have you cooperated on this whole
00:26:51issue with the Croatian Institute of Public Health, and when we
00:26:55had the situation with construction waste in Zagreb, recommendations were immediately issued,
00:26:59here the situation is quite
00:27:01serious in Gospić, the Croatian Institute of Public
00:27:04Health says that when a request for assessment and recommendations
00:27:08arrives at their address, it expires, they told us that
00:27:11they were not aware of the case, it can somehow be
00:27:15inferred that they actually did not receive that request,
00:27:19how do you comment on that?
00:27:21Well, you should know that the fund only in July
00:27:25of last year, with the amendment of the national waste management plan,
00:27:28obtained the legal prerequisite to even be
00:27:31responsible for the... remediation, to co-finance this remediation,
00:27:35so the fund is not an institution that
00:27:38should, in this case, ask the Croatian Institute of Public
00:27:41Health what to do, the fund is responsible for the implementation
00:27:45of the remediation. We, of course, asked relevant institutions to provide us
00:27:48with data that are important to us for the remediation procedures, such as
00:27:52analyzes from the Andrija Štampar Institute or
00:27:55the data we obtained from Dorch as part of their
00:27:59investigation, mhm. Well, then we will refer to
00:28:03the civic initiative Gospić is our home, they claim that as early as
00:28:072023, they proposed temporary protection
00:28:10of the site to prevent, as you yourself mentioned,
00:28:14further infiltration into the soil, today's findings show that the
00:28:17contamination has spread in the meantime, in just
00:28:21a few months, if I'm not mistaken, from the first analysis
00:28:24this year, there was only a couple of months difference, is there
00:28:28any mistake here?
