00:00:00will be told by our meteorologist Bojan
00:00:02month, the workers are currently on Lipovčak.
00:00:04Good evening, what kind of weather awaits
00:00:07us tomorrow on Sunday, and most of
00:00:11next week. We are still
00:00:15under pressure
00:00:19north of the Alps, which is rapidly moving over our
00:00:22inland areas bringing a slight
00:00:26cooling inland behind the front, intensifying.
00:00:30high pressure, so we will continue with
00:00:34stable, sunny, warm
00:00:37weather, today
00:00:40it was hot,
00:00:43tomorrow it will not be as hot due to
00:00:47the passage of that cold front which will affect most of
00:00:51the interior and reduce air temperature,
00:00:54thunderstorms are possible tomorrow
00:00:57in most of the interior.
00:01:01Locally there will be abundant
00:01:04rain accompanied by showers of almost tropical
00:01:08characteristics. Morning temperatures in
00:01:11the interior are finally pleasant for
00:01:15sleeping with temperatures below and up to
00:01:1820°C, however, on the Adriatic, it is still
00:01:22a very warm night with air temperatures
00:01:25from 28 to 29, locally even
00:01:2830° Celsius, which is a consequence of
00:01:32the Föhn wind and its heating effect
00:01:36on the atmosphere. The highest daily temperatures
00:01:39in most of
00:01:41like someone to ask that at the interior around 30° while on the
00:01:44Adriatic, temperatures will remain up to
00:01:4737. On the northern
00:01:49Adriatic, especially in the Podvalebitska coast,
00:01:53strong, locally stormy gusts of bura, while
00:01:57that bura will slowly spread.
00:02:00towards the middle Adriatic, on
00:02:04the southern Adriatic, the Lebić wind will blow. Further
00:02:08development of the weather situation is again under
00:02:10the influence of the arrival of warm air
00:02:14of African origin which will again
00:02:17move across Italy to reach our regions.
00:02:20This cold air which has currently
00:02:24slightly moved the heat wave south
00:02:27from... "it sailed east
00:02:31and affects mainly
00:02:34over Russia and
00:02:36Ukraine, if we look at
00:02:39air temperatures, they will
00:02:42drop slightly on Saturday insignificantly inland,
00:02:46so we will reach temperatures below 30°, around
00:02:5027, short-term showers and
00:02:53thunderstorms can be expected on Saturday, after that
00:02:56from Sunday, Monday onwards, temperatures will rise again
00:03:00to values of
00:03:0135-36°C,
00:03:04which means the heat wave is returning,
00:03:08on the Adriatic it's almost as if we won't
00:03:11even feel this cooling, a little
00:03:15bit on Saturday and
00:03:19accompanied by a breeze that will stir up the sea a little,
00:03:22so the air temperature, water temperature will drop a little
00:03:26due to the rising colder...
00:03:30layers from the deep, so we expect
00:03:33sea temperatures from 25 to
00:03:3627°.
00:03:40In short, variable cloudy weather today
00:03:43and tomorrow rare showers and
00:03:46thunderstorms, bura and jugo on the Adriatic, a little colder inland, but on
00:03:49the Adriatic the heat wave
00:03:53continues its effect.
00:03:56The ultraviolet index is high and very high, and
00:03:59a real change in weather can be expected only in about
00:04:0310 to 12 days.
00:04:06Dear viewers, we have reached the end of
00:05:11It's time to review the press, that is, to see which topics
00:05:14the press is writing about. Our guest this morning is sociologist Ivan Živkov, good day
00:05:18to you, thank you for being here, good morning, uh, and
00:05:22the news that resonates with
00:05:24reason, we can start exactly from
00:05:27that, it's the attack on the director and
00:05:31professor of the Faculty of Dramatic Arts Stevan Filipović
00:05:34in the center of Belgrade, he says "hired thugs of the government kicked
00:05:38and beat me with a metal chair," several serious
00:05:42injuries, which is why the prosecution launched an investigation,
00:05:45opposition parties called out and labeled the president of the republic as the main
00:05:48inspirer of the attack,
00:05:50so
00:05:53this is certainly one of the situations
00:05:57which, by its very, let's say,
00:06:00title, uh must worry
00:06:03everyone, you are right, violence
00:06:06unfortunately has been present for a very long time in our society,
00:06:09our streets, our political sphere, it does not
00:06:13subside, it is encouraged from the top
00:06:15of power, because it is not sanctioned,
00:06:19but encouraged, let's remember the bloody
00:06:23shirts and the attack on Borko Stefanović,
00:06:26let's remember that writer Vladimir Arsenijević was recently beaten,
00:06:29we know that not only is it not sanctioned or those who beat
00:06:32people in the streets are not found, but those who were
00:06:36caught in the act are even pardoned, for example
00:06:39those who... beat up a girl,
00:06:43a student some time ago, we know that
00:06:46in the end the perpetrators were
00:06:49acquitted, is this
00:06:52part of some usual, so to speak,
00:06:56pre-election movement or
00:06:59shall we joke, folklore here? Well, if
00:07:02this is before the elections, we can only ask ourselves and
00:07:06be afraid of what awaits us when the campaign
00:07:09really starts, we see therefore that the thugs.
00:07:13"are harnessed, that they are ready, we know that we
00:07:16have seen violent scenes during previous election campaigns
00:07:19on election day, this act is like some
00:07:23military exercise, like some
00:07:26warm-up, unfortunately we can expect that
00:07:29violence will intensify when
00:07:33the election campaign officially begins, that official part is
00:07:36actually, how should I say, an additional weight in
00:07:40the whole story, since..." "elections are being sought,
00:07:44mentioned, announced for quite some time,
00:07:47however, apart from some rough outlines, we have
00:07:50no uh, no tangible
00:07:53timeframe when that could happen, does that actually
00:07:56raise some tension in society, how much is society already
00:08:00additionally divided and additionally
00:08:03burdened by this now actually
00:08:06and we actually know when the regular election
00:08:10terms are constitutional, legal..." So by
00:08:12spring next year we must get a new president
00:08:16of the republic, that's what must happen, and
00:08:19the opposition, i.e. students and the president of the republic himself
00:08:23have repeatedly said that there will also be extraordinary parliamentary elections, so
00:08:26in the next ten months we
00:08:30will certainly have some kind of voting, now the question
00:08:33is whether it will be elections or quasi-elections, but
00:08:37I expect to resolve a two-year political crisis.
00:08:40"with the caveat that resolution does not mean that
00:08:43it will be overcome, mhm, a deep crisis in
00:08:46which Serbia can be resolved,
00:08:49if there is a change of government, if
00:08:52the rule of law functions and if Serbia makes
00:08:56certain changes, unfortunately,
00:09:00resolution can also be without overcoming the crisis, in such
00:09:03a way that it is frozen and prolonged for a longer
00:09:06period of time, if the Serbian
00:09:09Progressive Party..." Aleksandar Vučić renews his mandate,
00:09:13if he truly becomes the new prime minister,
00:09:17then we can expect a
00:09:20systemic, well I would even call it terror,
00:09:23not just repression, something that until now
00:09:27was only seen in Asiatic despotisms,
00:09:30but given the political character of this government, it
00:09:34is not unexpected, especially if it succeeds
00:09:37in extending its mandate, to enter the 17th, 18th
00:09:41year of rule without real legitimacy, that is,
00:09:44to rule without the majority support
00:09:47of voters. Uh, how much, you just said in the next
00:09:5110 months we can expect how much we
00:09:54as a state, as a society
00:09:58are actually ready, able to even
00:10:02push through those 10 months to some kind of
00:10:05resolution? Is it necessary for it to happen
00:10:08earlier? That is now a big question, what we
00:10:12saw in the previous two years
00:10:15indicated that we are a little bit ready, a little bit not ready, and
00:10:19I think that this maneuvering with calling
00:10:22elections by the authorities is precisely because such
00:10:25information reaches them, that public opinion polls
00:10:28show that there are moments when
00:10:32the majority of citizens are ready for change, but
00:10:36there are some indicators where that enthusiasm for
00:10:39change decreases, which gives hope
00:10:43to the authorities that with some delay and some good timing
00:10:47they can win the next elections. What
00:10:51worries me is how those
00:10:54who want change behave, honestly I expected
00:10:58a more serious reaction
00:11:01from people in the judiciary when Mrdić's laws were adopted,
00:11:05however, we saw that prosecutors and judges did not react
00:11:08much. We now see disciplinary action
00:11:12in education, this law
00:11:15which is, through the back door, practically without public
00:11:17debate, is intended
00:11:21to be adopted before the start of the new school year...
00:11:25shows that teachers, if they were to, for example,
00:11:28stop working as they did in 2025,
00:11:31will lose their licenses, which means they will lose not only their jobs,
00:11:35but also the possibility to work at all in education, this
00:11:38means that very likely under
00:11:41fear and under the pressure of that knowledge
00:11:45they will not even enter into work stoppages.
00:11:48These are all preparations for
00:11:51a repression in case of
00:11:55disputes over election results.
00:11:58Let's do a thought experiment,
00:12:01the electoral conditions, and in general the social conditions in Serbia
00:12:04are not at all better than they were in the previous
00:12:08elections in 2023. One can even say that they have
00:12:11worsened due to the campaign of officials, the electoral
00:12:15roll, the abuse of resources, the situation in the media,
00:12:18the import of voters, everything else we had then, we have now,
00:12:22nothing has improved. "We
00:12:25know how the majority that protests and
00:12:28wants change reacted to repression,
00:12:31by withdrawing, uh, I just mentioned the
00:12:35judicial sector, and then I mentioned
00:12:38education, no one
00:12:41went on strike in the public sector, we know
00:12:44that hundreds of thousands of people were on the streets, the protests
00:12:48lasted for a very long time, not a single public company,
00:12:52neither local nor state, managed to organize
00:12:56a strike for even two days, so the government is encouraged
00:12:59that these people who want change,
00:13:03people who do not want to leave their comfort zone,
00:13:07who are okay with gathering once a month
00:13:11at a large rally in Belgrade or walking in some protest
00:13:14marches on Saturday or Sunday evening, but they do not want to leave
00:13:17their comfort zone, they do not want to risk their jobs, their
00:13:21salaries, this is an indicator that an
00:13:25authoritarian violent government can maintain itself in such a way,
00:13:28even if it does not have electoral
00:13:31legitimacy, I say, a thought experiment, what
00:13:34if on election day at 9 PM
00:13:38the president, now of the republic, then probably won't be,
00:13:40appears and declares an election
00:13:44victory, even if he didn't win, what
00:13:47awaits us, a reaction on the street where we saw
00:13:50that the side that wants change is not ready to respond
00:13:54to violence with violence, we also saw that the regime
00:13:57is very resilient and capable of enduring
00:14:00extremely long and strong pressures of street
00:14:03demonstrations, thus entering into that
00:14:07phase of frozen crisis, but an unchanged
00:14:10government, as in every other case, a frozen situation is not
00:14:14a good situation, uh the focus is on security and concrete
00:14:17results, writes Politika and says "what does the composite sketch
00:14:21of an average Serbian voter look like, living standard is the most important thing that interests
00:14:25voters in any part of Serbia," research shows that for
00:14:28voters it is much more important to see what has been
00:14:31done, interlocutor Predrag Lacmanović says
00:14:34for Politika, that at this moment
00:14:38do we generally have such frameworks, so
00:14:42to speak, programmatic or is
00:14:45the atmosphere completely referendum-like when it comes to
00:14:48elections? The atmosphere is referendum-like in the part
00:14:51of the public that is somehow informed. "However, we
00:14:55have at least one third of citizens who are not well
00:14:59informed about what is happening in this country, how
00:15:02the authorities behave, what are the consequences
00:15:05of their actions, and because of that, the election
00:15:09result is not what it should be in a democratic world,
00:15:13the free expression of the democratic will
00:15:16of citizens, it will be a counting of some
00:15:19votes, but it will not be real elections, for example
00:15:23if I say that it is scandalous..."
00:15:25The fact that Veselin Milić returned to work while
00:15:29Katarina Petrović is still
00:15:31suspended is a problem because
00:15:35at least a third of Serbia's citizens, due to their
00:15:38misinformation, have no idea who Veselin
00:15:41Milić is, who Katarina Petrović is, or why it's a problem that he
00:15:44returned to work while she's still suspended. How can we even talk
00:15:48about elections in such conditions and what's important to the voter?
00:15:52That's not a voter because they're not properly informed.
00:15:55Uh, to what extent can
00:15:58the announced visit of Volodymyr Zelenskyy to
00:16:02Belgrade be equated? Can that
00:16:06have a connection with the elections? It certainly has
00:16:09a connection with some international position
00:16:12of Serbia, so it's an interesting visit
00:16:16and politically very significant, I
00:16:19would like, for example, your colleagues when
00:16:22Vučić and Zelenskyy appear together, to ask Vučić
00:16:26in front of Zelenskyy and the guest, why, for example,
00:16:30uh the authorities of the Republic
00:16:33of Serbia believe that those who say that Serbia
00:16:37needs a Euromaidan are undermining the constitutional order and committing
00:16:41a criminal offense, when Volodymyr
00:16:44Zelenskyy, Volodimir, excuse me, Volodimir
00:16:47Zelenskyy, uh, the successor of,
00:16:51uh, the government that came after the Euromaidan
00:16:54and after that revolution that is negatively and
00:16:57suspiciously presented here as a colored revolution.
00:17:01So, why has President Vučić repeatedly and this
00:17:05government said that Serbia does not need a Ukrainian scenario and that
00:17:09what happened in Ukraine was bad, and now
00:17:12he is hosting the president of Ukraine, how does
00:17:15that go together, so I would
00:17:19that press conference which I assume will be
00:17:22organized, and from that we would see
00:17:25answers that would be politically
00:17:28significant, if no one asks
00:17:31such a thing, then it is a ceremonial
00:17:34visit by which Vučić shows
00:17:38the European Union
00:17:42that he is changing course towards
00:17:45Russia, which will be recorded somewhere in a report and praised,
00:17:49just as the amendments to
00:17:52Mrdić's laws were praised, as if they
00:17:54were imposed on this government or fell from
00:17:58Mars, and then the authorities heroically
00:18:01changed them, actually it is a
00:18:04maneuver that gives the possibility
00:18:07to the Brussels administration to put a "plus"
00:18:10on this, whether it is actually a maneuver or
00:18:14a fundamental change and a turnaround
00:18:17in this international policy is difficult to
00:18:20assess, international circumstances are
00:18:23changing, perhaps in some future period
00:18:27there will be some serious change in Serbia's foreign policy
00:18:30at this moment, it is certainly a
00:18:34well-thought-out move that
00:18:36earns credit from Western partners, i.e., from
00:18:40the European Union, so that they might turn a blind eye to
00:18:44what kind of elections will be held here, because if
00:18:47you align your security foreign policy with the European
00:18:50Union, if you turn a blind eye to what is happening in
00:18:54Kosovo, then you get some pluses
00:18:58and then they will perhaps overlook it more if you
00:19:01carry out some electoral violence here and declare victory even if you
00:19:05didn't win, that's my opinion. "Whether
00:19:08there will be any change in
00:19:11Serbia's foreign policy depends primarily on what kind
00:19:14of government this country will form and
00:19:18what kind of policy it will generally pursue
00:19:21towards the European Union and towards other
00:19:25factors on the international scene. Regarding concrete
00:19:28meetings, there has been talk many times about Zelenskyy
00:19:31with Vučić, i.e., representatives of
00:19:35Serbia, it was even announced at least once
00:19:38that he would come to Belgrade, but that
00:19:41did not happen. Is this now, if
00:19:44it is indeed about a maneuver, actually a kind of
00:19:47service to the authorities in Serbia to host such
00:19:51a prominent guest, who in Europe is a symbol
00:19:54now of that
00:19:57geopolitical conflict between East and West,
00:20:01that with his arrival here it is actually
00:20:04conveyed that Serbia is also a kind of reliable partner, despite
00:20:08all the criticisms we receive from Europe. It can
00:20:12be interpreted that way, although I think that Zelenskyy goes wherever
00:20:16doors are open to him, he is in a position to seek help at
00:20:20every address. Uh, Serbia
00:20:22has long been required to behave that way, so
00:20:26I think the timing of that meeting
00:20:29is chosen. Recently, Vučić himself was in Kyiv. Recently,
00:20:33the Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament was also here. So that's
00:20:37a process that could have happened four years ago, and three, and
00:20:41two, when other European countries that
00:20:45sincerely support Ukraine and the Ukrainian people after the Russian
00:20:48aggression did. "This regime is doing this just
00:20:51before the elections, obviously, insincerely,
00:20:55wanting to wink at the European
00:20:58Union to blunt the edge
00:21:02of criticism that, which it probably expects
00:21:05after the elections and post-election processes in
00:21:08Serbia. What has been announced and happening over
00:21:12the past weeks and months, including
00:21:16financial aid, so to speak, a helicopter
00:21:20which is announced for autumn, sometime in
00:21:24September, a move that only helps short-term,
00:21:28writes today, and again they refer to certain
00:21:31public opinion polls where they say that regarding
00:21:35the rating of the Serbian Progressive Party, nothing is happening, also
00:21:39Nova writes about it that it is not yet certain whether all
00:21:42the partners currently gathered
00:21:45for the SNS will participate in those elections when they
00:21:49happen, and the SPS is mentioned there, so
00:21:53whether they will go independently or with them, is that another
00:21:55part of the story about stirring things up before
00:21:59the elections, or does that mean that they will happen, for example, this
00:22:03year? Well, you know, that bribing
00:22:06of the electorate is a regular phenomenon in Serbia,
00:22:10but we didn't invent it. I am sure that those who
00:22:13will resort to that measure, that helicopter
00:22:17money or other types of increased pensions, salaries
00:22:20and everything else that is usually done, will do so
00:22:23because some research and some experience show them that
00:22:27it still helps, if nothing else, it doesn't hurt,
00:22:30it's always better if the government gives than if
00:22:34it doesn't, if nothing else, some voters won't cross
00:22:38over to the opposing camp, but let me go back to
00:22:41my disappointment with this
00:22:44Serbian elite, because you just reminded me again
00:22:48of the workers, employees in education,
00:22:51uh, by chance I read some data
00:22:55on membership in education unions where
00:22:58we had those so-called
00:23:01representative unions that, at the time of the biggest rebellion
00:23:04of precisely teachers who joined
00:23:07students, called not to
00:23:10stop working, but to start the second semester because they negotiated
00:23:13in those days with this government a 5%
00:23:17increase in wages, uh
00:23:20"those unions that, at a time when Vučić's
00:23:24chair was shaking the most, went to his couch, who
00:23:27negotiated with Slavica Đukić Dejanović, Miloš
00:23:30Vučević, and now continue cooperation with Dejan
00:23:34Vuk Stanković on this absurd law,
00:23:38are not unions that educators massively
00:23:41left, and why not? Because in the meantime,
00:23:44a collective agreement was adopted which precisely ensures full
00:23:48jubilee awards and severance pay for members of those
00:23:51unions, and if you are not members of those unions, then
00:23:55you do not receive that, this shows me that even that layer
00:23:58of the population that is highly educated, that calls itself
00:24:01enlighteners, that is not even socially
00:24:04vulnerable, despite the fact that salaries in education are lower
00:24:07than they should be, but these are still not socially vulnerable people, that
00:24:11even they are prone to corruption,
00:24:14that the government knows that very well, it pays
00:24:18them... more, recently, it seems to me
00:24:21Kokan Mladenović spoke about it in the sphere of
00:24:24culture, why there is no greater rebellion, there are no
00:24:28premieres, no plays, things are done
00:24:31as they should, but the salary has not dropped, the salary
00:24:34is even increasing, so of course there is no stimulant for
00:24:38a greater rebellion, and the government knows that, it knows what kind
00:24:42of people it is dealing with, and that's why it
00:24:44behaves that way, let me recall the late Balašević
00:24:48who said that the problem is not always with such a government, but often
00:24:51the problem is with the people who are so easily
00:24:54ruled.
00:24:57Since their June advance was reduced by 25%, employees at
00:25:00Zastava Arms say in the union, they were left without an advance for
00:25:04July, which they did not receive by August
00:25:075th, why our reporter Nataša
00:25:10Lazarević is checking. Nataša, do we know the reason for such
00:25:14a decision and such
00:25:15an event?
00:25:19Well, it seems to me. Officially no, considering that there are no
00:25:23official answers from the Zastava Arms factory nor
00:25:26any information about all the events that have
00:25:30afflicted the Kragujevac arms factory, and
00:25:33the situation is really bad, say the workers in
00:25:37the unions, but well-informed people who have been following the
00:25:40defense industry for decades, say that the situation has never
00:25:44been worse in the last few decades, it has not happened
00:25:47until now, at least, I would say... in that previous period of
00:25:51maybe ten years, that workers did not receive their wages, so we will remind you that the
00:25:55June one was reduced by 25%, but
00:25:58it was compensated through the second part of the salary, i.e., through the payment of, uh, last
00:26:04collective leave, we said then when we reported on that 25% reduction
00:26:08that they were going on that leave with a heavy heart because they really don't know what
00:26:11awaits them, well, they were met with that on August 5th.
00:26:15in August did not receive an advance at all. Now,
00:26:18in public, there are stories that the unions are silent, the employees are silent, because being
00:26:22on collective vacation means that you are not interested in
00:26:25the situation in the factory, your salary, or are these actually
00:26:28just, let's say, evil tongues?
00:26:32Of course, as far as we, the unions, are concerned, we
00:26:36are certainly not silent, but the situation is such that we are on collective
00:26:39vacation, that the people of the union board have gone,
00:26:43gone on vacation to rest, and we are not, we are not, how should I say,
00:26:47in a position to react. Today we are still
00:26:51on collective vacation, from Monday we start working. Uh, we have
00:26:54uh convened the union board early tomorrow morning to
00:26:58see what we will do next and how we will, how we will
00:27:01get out of this crisis. And what is, in a way, we have now
00:27:05recalled, and we talked, you and I, maybe twenty days ago,
00:27:08a month ago, when there was that reduction of the advance. Uh, you were,
00:27:12let's say, afraid of what would happen with the next salary, considering
00:27:16that the management did not give you any guarantees whether there would be money, whether the salaries would be
00:27:20paid. That's right, we went on vacation with fear that
00:27:23this would happen, what happened, that the management, the executive board, would not
00:27:27find uh money
00:27:31for the payment. The advance which was on August 5th, well, it happened.
00:27:35Uh, to the question, to the question of our
00:27:38union, to the question why there is no money, the general director said because
00:27:41of cash flow and lack of contracts that within 10 days
00:27:44uh he would solve that problem. We, as a union,
00:27:48will not wait those 10 days. We will react immediately on Monday,
00:27:51immediately, uh, radicalize, and
00:27:54we will see, we will see what we will do, what will happen with the people, the people
00:27:58whose will is more important for us to create. Our
00:28:02our plans, we will remind you that the situation in
00:28:06which the factory finds itself followed after the ban on arms exports
00:28:09from Serbia, by the decision
00:28:12of our state, on the recommendation of President Aleksandar Vučić,
00:28:16that was abolished, but the consequences are still being felt. So,
00:28:20uh, there are many
00:28:23contracts that were canceled after that export ban,
00:28:26and is that one of the reasons why the factory
00:28:30is now in trouble, but actually the workers are in trouble
00:28:34in the first place, who are not receiving the basic, their salary. That's right,
00:28:37that export ban of almost eight months has put
00:28:40us, how should I say, in an even more difficult situation, uh, and
00:28:44I hope that the contracts will be, and that
00:28:48for this, for this situation in the factory, someone will have to be held accountable.
00:28:51There will be the supervisory board which delegates
00:28:55which ministry, uh, the supervisory board delegates the executive board,
00:28:58so we will demand accountability, we will demand some changes that, that...
00:29:02which we believe led to this situation. Have you
00:29:05spoken to the general director? Actually, you just mentioned that you asked
00:29:09why, that you called him and asked. Was there any notification at all that
00:29:12the workers would not receive salaries, that you would not receive this advance? They
00:29:16put some information on the notice
00:29:19boards in the factory, uh,
00:29:23they didn't inform the unions that there would be, that there would not be
00:29:26a payment on the fifth. Uh, we believe that this is a great
00:29:29irresponsibility towards our members and towards
00:29:32our workers that it is announced in such a way uh that there will not
00:29:36be, there will not be an advance in the fifth month. Uh, we spoke
00:29:40with the general director, he said that he had not found, that the conditions had not been
00:29:43met, that he had not found money for the payment, that it would be
00:29:47within those 10 days. Finally, I will ask you, considering that information appears in the public
00:29:50that when there were rallies of the Serbian Progressive Party in the previous period,
00:29:54information was mentioned that some
00:29:57workers of Zastava Oružje anonymously testified
00:30:00or reported, uh... that they were called to
00:30:04attend rallies of the Serbian Progressive Party
00:30:07and that somewhere, considering that that quota was not met when it comes to this factory,
00:30:11that this is perhaps now with these salaries some punishment
00:30:15for the workers. How do you in the Union view this? Did you
00:30:19receive those complaints from some employees, uh?
00:30:22Officially, we did not. Uh, many people are also
00:30:26afraid to say. We publicly released information that every
00:30:29type of mobbing and in that way. The way pressure
00:30:33is exerted, to contact the union, that we will provide maximum assistance, legal
00:30:36assistance. They did not contact us, as I
00:30:39said, possibly because of that fear, but I
00:30:43don't believe that it's because the quota, the quota
00:30:47of 400-500 people was not met, and that's why we don't have,
00:30:50we don't have a salary today. We are financed mostly from
00:30:54our own funds and from contracts and from all
00:30:57those, as I said.
