00:00:00including going to the military parade in Moscow
00:00:03in 2025, when he was the only European
00:00:06official there, along with the Slovak Prime Minister, and Moscow
00:00:09has something to complain about to Belgrade in June
00:00:122025. The Russian Foreign Intelligence
00:00:15Service announced that Russian weapons ended up in
00:00:18Ukraine, which caused sharp reactions from Moscow, after which
00:00:22Belgrade banned the export of weapons for at least some time.
00:00:26Putin allegedly personally complained to Vučić about this
00:00:29in Beijing. The spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria
00:00:33Zakharova, stated last year that it seems that
00:00:36there are different Vučićs because the President of Serbia gives
00:00:40different statements when he is in Moscow and when he acts from
00:00:43other positions. Brussels is probably closely following the visit at a
00:00:46time when Ukraine is facing a shortage
00:00:49of weapons in order to respond to increasingly frequent and strong
00:00:52Russian drone attacks and ballistic
00:00:55missiles.
00:01:05Meteorologists have announced a slight and short-term refreshment in most
00:01:08of the region. Here are the details about the expected weather
00:01:11conditions.
00:01:14The weekend brings a slight drop in temperature, but it remains
00:01:18very warm. Due to increased humidity, it will be
00:01:21muggy. The maximum temperature throughout the region today
00:01:25will reach up to 38
00:01:27degrees. During the morning and before noon,
00:01:30it will be sunny throughout the Balkans. In the afternoon, moderate cloudiness is expected, so there will be
00:01:34conditions for showers and thunderstorms, especially along
00:01:37the Adriatic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the mountainous regions of Serbia, as
00:01:41well as most of Romania. A moderate, occasionally strong
00:01:47the topics on the table, northern wind will blow. The maximum temperature in Serbia will be from 31 degrees
00:01:51to 35°. In Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:01:54we expect from 30 to 38 degrees,
00:01:58while in Croatia, for the hottest part of the day, the forecasted temperature
00:02:02is from 30 to 37 degrees, which is expected on
00:02:05the Adriatic. On Sunday, in the west of the region, it will be mostly sunny and
00:02:09dry, while in the central, southern and eastern regions, changeable weather with local showers
00:02:13and thunderstorms is expected. From Monday, in
00:02:17most areas, it will be mostly sunny with rare and isolated showers
00:02:20and thunderstorms. Next week, the temperature in
00:02:24the west of the Balkans will rise, locally even more than
00:02:2740°.
00:02:30Here's what awaits you until the end of the new
00:02:32day.
00:02:35Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy officially visited Serbia. About the
00:02:39timing, expectations from the visit, but also messages from the East and
00:02:42West, the topic of the morning. Our guest, former diplomat Duško
00:02:45Lopantić.
00:02:49In Serbia, six active fires continue. The fight against fire continues.
00:02:53In Deliblatska Peščara and on
00:02:54Stolovi.
00:03:00Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Serbia has become a new home, and is
00:03:03there even room for stereotypes? Find out before the end of this
00:03:07day.
00:03:10Before that, Tanja Veselinović brings us another overview of the most important news,
00:03:14starting, of course, with the fires. Miloš, in
00:03:17Serbia, six open-air fires are active, according to
00:03:20the latest information from the Fire and Rescue
00:03:24Unit Administration. The biggest effort is required to extinguish the fire in
00:03:27Deliblatska Peščara, which
00:03:30flared up due to the wind and covered 700 hectares of forest.
00:03:33The army also joined the firefighting efforts. It is particularly dramatic
00:03:37in Šumarak, the peripheral parts of that place have been
00:03:40evacuated, according to unofficial
00:03:42information obtained by the Zumer portal in conversation with
00:03:46locals, the fire has reached some
00:03:49weekend houses. Flames reach great
00:03:52heights, and thick black smoke hangs over the sandy area.
00:03:56Helicopters are constantly extinguishing the fire.
00:04:02"Is your house close, it's right across
00:04:05the street,
00:04:08I don't know, this is terrible, this is terrible,
00:04:11it's sad,
00:04:14I don't know, I just pray to God that everything goes as
00:04:17it should, did they ask you to
00:04:20leave,
00:04:23we all did, I took the children to my godmother, it doesn't matter, are you from
00:04:27around here or, well yes, I live here at home,
00:04:33we live here, now I don't know, you can't talk anymore at home,
00:04:35no, I don't know, hopefully everything will be
00:04:38okay,
00:04:40when we talk about resources and engagement of both the Ministry
00:04:44of Internal Affairs and other services, we are primarily focused
00:04:47on two larger locations.
00:04:50In these locations, we have a total of 484
00:04:54members of various services, including the Ministry of Internal
00:04:57Affairs, the Sector for Emergency Situations, the helicopter unit of the Serbian Army
00:05:01and others. The biggest engagement is
00:05:05in Deliblatska Peščara, and I must emphasize that as
00:05:08for the morning the situation is currently
00:05:12correct, of course, it will be monitored in the coming hours, and the biggest
00:05:16engagement today is with working machines that will
00:05:20create clearings. Since last night, we have additional working
00:05:23machines, primarily two large machines
00:05:26from the Drmno open-pit mine, and the helicopter
00:05:30unit is expected to operate today. As for
00:05:32the Maglič Ušće area, in one part
00:05:36the fire was localized last night, and
00:05:39today the emphasis will be on extinguishing the fire
00:05:43in the Stolovi area. The smell of burning was felt on Friday evening
00:05:47in almost all parts of the capital of Serbia. Milenko Jovanović from
00:05:51the National Ecological Association says that most likely
00:05:54due to meteorological conditions, i.e., wind, the consequences of the large fire
00:05:58in Deliblatska Peščara, in the form of smell and atmospheric
00:06:02turbidity, reached Belgrade.
00:06:05The wind had just then briefly turned
00:06:08to the northeast and north.
00:06:12This allowed the products of combustion, i.e.,
00:06:16the fire, to reach Belgrade, increasing
00:06:19certain PM particles, PM10,
00:06:23precisely in this area closer to Pančevo, for example, like
00:06:26Zeleno Brdo here in Zvezdara. Of course, these are not
00:06:30toxic concentrations for sure, because you see people standing there, your
00:06:33reporters, it's not that dangerous, not nearly as dangerous as
00:06:37when fires happen in, I don't know, chemical
00:06:40plants or, I don't know, burning. especially what is
00:06:44unfortunately, as the saying goes, modern this summer, those are
00:06:48landfills.
00:06:50It burned on Mount Žaračka in Stolovi, as we heard near
00:06:54Maglič. The flames engulfed more than 270 hectares of low
00:06:58forest. In the sector for emergency situations, it was confirmed to
00:07:01RTS that the fire was localized. The fire near
00:07:04Ušće in the Ibar valley, which threatened houses yesterday, was brought under
00:07:08control after helicopters joined the firefighting efforts
00:07:11last night.
00:07:14"However, this situation yesterday and the day before yesterday could have
00:07:17meant that it would spread to the entire settlement of
00:07:20Ušće, however, luckily we had that
00:07:24fire brigade unit in Ušće, that's the only good thing in Ušće,
00:07:28which we got, everything else was abolished, they managed to prevent it from
00:07:31reaching Ušće, it was about 400-500 meters
00:07:35from the first slightly larger settlement, but the biggest job was done by
00:07:38the helicopter, which could reach those inaccessible
00:07:42parts of the terrain, because there is a large layer of
00:07:46waste from Bor there, and that posed
00:07:49a great danger, and on the railway itself, there is
00:07:53tall dry grass, and that's why the locomotive
00:07:56, when it came, according to many locals, sparked,
00:08:00covering that area, and that's why the entire area from Maglić
00:08:03to Ušće is practically affected by these
00:08:06fires.
00:08:11The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, arrived in
00:08:14Belgrade last night. This is the first bilateral visit of the Ukrainian President
00:08:17to Belgrade, and his meeting with the President of Serbia will be
00:08:21one of the most significant political meetings, especially at a
00:08:24time when Belgrade is trying to balance its relations between
00:08:28Ukraine and Europe on one side, and Moscow on the other
00:08:31side. Zelenskyy was met at Belgrade Airport by
00:08:35Minister Dubravka Đedović Handanović. The Ukrainian
00:08:38President wrote on his Telegram channel: I have arrived in
00:08:41Serbia. Together with the team, important discussions are planned for today
00:08:45and tomorrow with President Aleksandar Vučić and
00:08:48Prime Minister Đuro Macut. We will discuss
00:08:52expanding economic cooperation between our countries with the European
00:08:55Union on other matters that can benefit our
00:08:59peoples on security issues. The ceremonial
00:09:02welcome for the Ukrainian President will be held in front of
00:09:05the Palace of Serbia at 10:30, after
00:09:08which the two officials are scheduled to address the media.
00:09:14At least three people, including one child, were killed last night in
00:09:18Russian attacks near the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv,
00:09:21reports the BBC, citing local officials. Rockets
00:09:25hit the area east of the capital early this morning, and
00:09:29eyewitnesses reported powerful explosions just a few
00:09:32days after 21 people were killed in strikes across
00:09:36Ukraine. Emergency crews extinguished fires in a
00:09:39building and a fuel tank in Kyiv.
00:09:43wrote Mayor Vitaliy Kličko on
00:09:45Telegram.
00:09:50At the Batrovci border crossing, as of this morning, there is a waiting time of about four
00:09:54hours when exiting Serbia, while at the Šid crossing, the waiting time is about two
00:09:57hours. This was announced by the Auto Moto Association of Serbia. At the Neštin
00:10:01and Horgoš crossings, delays are about an hour. On
00:10:04the roads in Serbia today, increased traffic intensity is expected.
00:10:08MSS warns that changing weather conditions can affect

00:16:51In the continuation of the new day, it's time for our morning topic. In it, we talk about
00:16:55the first official visit of the Ukrainian president to Serbia.
00:16:58Accredited journalist teams are already in the Palace of Serbia in front of
00:17:02it. Among them are our reporters Aleksandra Gotfroa and
00:17:05Žana Bulajić. Next, we will hear from Žana first.
00:17:08Žana, you are in front of the palace, we see behind you
00:17:11the honorary guard, a ceremonial welcome for
00:17:15Zelenskyy is expected, and then a bilateral meeting, and then, as announced,
00:17:18an address by the two presidents. What is the media interest, what are the security
00:17:22measures?
00:17:26Miloš, there is great media interest, it could be said to be at the level of those
00:17:30big visits, when we talk about the arrivals
00:17:33of, for example, perhaps the American and Russian presidents or high-level
00:17:37delegations from these countries and delegations
00:17:40from leading European Union countries, the media interest is approximately
00:17:44at that level. As you can
00:17:47see, for now, the honorary guard is
00:17:51lined up, I assume in the next few minutes we expect
00:17:54the delegations that will meet the two presidents.
00:17:58Helicopters have started flying over this area around
00:18:01the Palace of Serbia, so that is a sign that the
00:18:04time of arrival and the ceremonial welcome
00:18:07is approaching. I could say that the city is discreetly adorned with
00:18:11Ukrainian flags. This morning
00:18:14flags appeared in front of the Palace of Serbia on both sides,
00:18:18on this side where the reception is in the surrounding
00:18:21streets, we could see those
00:18:25flags, we saw last night the Ukrainian Serbian flag and
00:18:29on the Belgrade Tower as well as near the Mostarska Petlja interchange. At this
00:18:32moment the Ukrainian delegation
00:18:36is arriving on the
00:18:39plateau itself. So, as I said, this is the first official visit of
00:18:42the Ukrainian president to Serbia. During
00:18:46May, the possibility of Zelenskyy coming
00:18:50to Belgrade was also mentioned, and at that time a high-level delegation led by
00:18:54the Vice President of the Ukrainian government came here. Three topics, at least what
00:18:58is known,
00:19:01which the president himself, who hosted an official dinner
00:19:05for his Ukrainian guest yesterday,
00:19:08said will somehow talks: the European path of the two
00:19:12countries, taking into account, as he said, the challenges, similar
00:19:15challenges for both Ukraine and Serbia on that path to membership in
00:19:18the European Union, then economic cooperation and
00:19:21energy cooperation. At the airport, late yesterday
00:19:25afternoon, Volodymyr Zelenskyy was met by
00:19:29Minister of Energy, Dubravka Đedović. One topic is somehow, so to speak, also
00:19:32discreetly mentioned as a topic
00:19:36for discussions, that is the topic of
00:19:39military cooperation. We learned, among other things,
00:19:42before this visit, that precisely a kind of, so
00:19:46to speak, link between more intense
00:19:49cooperation between the two countries, especially when it comes to
00:19:53weapons and ammunition for Ukraine, was
00:19:56the former US ambassador Christopher
00:20:00Hill. Several times we could see from investigative journalists
00:20:03that weapons and primarily ammunition
00:20:07bearing "Made in Serbia" ended up on the Ukrainian battlefield. The Serbian side
00:20:11always stated that it never
00:20:14directly sold those weapons to Ukraine, but
00:20:17that it could only have come through third countries. What is being mentioned
00:20:21this time as a possibility is that
00:20:24the two countries could jointly agree on
00:20:27the construction of a drone factory, and that the financial part of that
00:20:30project could be supported by the United Arab
00:20:34Emirates. I say this is a part that has not been announced as an official
00:20:38topic, but military cooperation is also somewhat
00:20:41in focus when we talk about
00:20:43cooperation between Ukraine and Serbia. So,
00:20:47as I said, the delegations have arrived. We will wait a few more
00:20:50moments for the official part to pass. The plan
00:20:54for the official visit is quite
00:20:57short, as I said, the ceremonial welcome will be around
00:21:0013:00, and somewhere after 12:00
00:21:04the two presidents are scheduled to address the media, with only one
00:21:07question each from the Ukrainian and Serbian
00:21:10sides. After that, the Ukrainian president should
00:21:14talk to Đuro Macut,
00:21:17the Prime Minister of the Serbian government. So that's
00:21:20the official part. As for security measures, as I said, they are not
00:21:24much greater than what we see when, for example,
00:21:27high-ranking American or Russian officials come. This visit is
00:21:31in focus not only for the domestic public but also for the foreign public. As for
00:21:35Ukrainian media, what they are reporting,
00:21:38or what they are citing as sources
00:21:42are unnamed Ukrainian and Russian officials who say that this visit
00:21:46is a slap in the face to Russia. The Russian side, on the other hand,
00:21:50before this visit, simply announced
00:21:53that the Ukrainian president is coming. Of course, once we hear
00:21:56the messages from the two presidents, there will be more
00:21:59opportunities for further comments. The timing
00:22:03of this visit is interesting, it's only a few
00:22:07weeks before the elections in Serbia. So
00:22:10the final preparations are underway.
00:22:13In a few minutes on the red carpet you will be able to
00:22:17see Miloš,
00:22:20Žana Bulajić continues to follow the event in front of
00:22:24the Palace of Serbia, specifically the welcome of the Ukrainian President. The President of Serbia, as
00:22:27we heard, announced the topics that will be discussed and
00:22:31emphasized that there is no change in the introduction of sanctions against Russia. However, on
00:22:37Western media have their version, while
00:22:40pro-Russian media are so far reserved. What are the expectations from
00:22:43the visit, why does the meeting of the two presidents come at this particular moment? These are some of
00:22:47the questions for our guest,
00:23:00timing really the right question before autumn
00:23:03when more data is expected in Serbia regarding our
00:23:07elections, but a few weeks after the last
00:23:10meeting of Vučić and Zelenskyy in
00:23:13Kyiv? Well, this is certainly a symbolic
00:23:16visit, highly symbolic, given
00:23:20Serbia's position on the war
00:23:22in Ukraine, I would say that this is President
00:23:26Vučić boarding the Kyiv train with a four-year
00:23:29delay. Like Milošević once,
00:23:33he failed to notice that in
00:23:362022, relations, geopolitical
00:23:39relations, especially in Europe, changed drastically,
00:23:42and the main question that could be asked
00:23:46is why is Serbia now, instead of being shoulder to shoulder with Montenegro
00:23:50as a candidate for membership in the European Union,
00:23:53at the very bottom, and one of the answers is actually the attitude
00:23:57towards and towards
00:24:00this war primarily. Well,
00:24:03what this government has factually
00:24:07been saying for years to its
00:24:10voters is how Serbia does not want
00:24:12to impose sanctions on Russia and will not,
00:24:16even though we hear off the record that there
00:24:20was arms export to Ukraine, there was other aid as well,
00:24:23but in some official form, these relations
00:24:27were, so to speak, quite distant. So
00:24:30this is changing now. I think
00:24:33it seems to you that there is some intensification, if we take into account precisely
00:24:37that, so to speak, history of mutual meetings, well,
00:24:40I mean for Vučić, this besides, well, that
00:24:43sensitivity of the visit, given Russian positions, certainly
00:24:47this is the main essence is... "giving
00:24:50a signal to the West, especially Brussels,
00:24:54that Serbia is ready, that is, to do what Chancellor
00:24:57Marc said a few months ago, that is, to
00:25:01choose between Moscow and Brussels, to
00:25:04define itself, and this is one of the signals about that,
00:25:08so I would say that this is in
00:25:11the context of that lobbying for the opening of Cluster
00:25:153, that famous Cluster 3, but regardless of whether
00:25:18it will be opened and when it will be opened, Cluster 3, Serbia
00:25:22is definitely at least ten years
00:25:26behind, both because of its foreign policy and because of
00:25:29its internal policy, so these are two things that
00:25:33have directly burdened
00:25:36, caused by the policy of the regime, and burdened our
00:25:39position when it comes to Europe, that is, our
00:25:42strategically important, important question, which is how,
00:25:46when and in what way we can join the European Union, to what extent are
00:25:50the positions from which Serbia and
00:25:53Ukraine are moving
00:25:57on that European path comparable at all? We heard
00:26:00that this is precisely one of the topics mentioned by the President
00:26:04of the Republic, speaking about it, both Serbia and
00:26:08Ukraine have similar challenges on
00:26:11in Ukraine is, pardon me, in tragic
00:26:14situation, uh, I should
00:26:17point out that we should definitely welcome this visit, right? It's
00:26:20late, right, a few years, but okay, better
00:26:23late than never, this, but Ukraine is a country
00:26:27at war, Ukraine is a country that invests
00:26:30somewhere around a quarter or more of its...
00:26:32national income for warfare, a country that has lost
00:26:36a lot of soldiers, but many people have
00:26:39also left, right? There is a large,
00:26:42large wave of refugees, it has had
00:26:45uh extremely severe consequences on industry, on
00:26:49energy and so on, uh, but when
00:26:53it comes to Ukraine's disputed political position, Ukraine is, when it comes
00:26:56to its relationship with the European Union, Ukraine became a candidate,
00:27:00thanks to the war, because before that no one even wanted to
00:27:04hear about Ukraine's candidacy.
00:27:07Negotiations have started, so the first
00:27:10cluster with Ukraine has been opened. On the other hand, Serbia, as
00:27:14I mentioned, has already "allegedly" used this war to
00:27:17get stuck in negotiations with the European Union
00:27:21and stay where it was for 22 years, so that
00:27:25in some way, uh it becomes
00:27:29uh the black sheep among the candidates for membership.
00:27:32"I think that regardless of Vučić's juggling
00:27:36in foreign policy, today
00:27:39I am a friend of the Ukrainians, tomorrow I will be with
00:27:42the Russians again, this, not
00:27:45much will be achieved, simply because
00:27:48the internal situation in Serbia is such
00:27:52that we do not resemble a country that is a true candidate
00:27:56for membership, for a country that strives for European
00:27:59values, we know what this government
00:28:03has done negatively in the field of rule of law,
00:28:07corruption, especially, responsibility of the government,
00:28:10media, uh, endangering media freedom
00:28:13and so on, and all of these are topics that both the European
00:28:17Union and European institutions emphasize on every uh possible
00:28:21occasion, uh does such a visit now change
00:28:25or alter the impression that previous assessments have actually
00:28:28conveyed, that negative one, well, this is, as I would say, in... In
00:28:32when it comes to Brussels' views, you have that geopolitical
00:28:36angle on one side, you have this, let's say, issues of
00:28:39values and adaptation of a
00:28:42candidate country, certainly geopolitics plays
00:28:46a certain role, but not definitively, so no one
00:28:49will be admitted to the European Union just because
00:28:52they have a special international position, but they must
00:28:56have internal reforms that have not been
00:29:00achieved on one, on another. plan, uh, we
00:29:03are, our government has failed in the meantime
00:29:07it is trying, so with these four years of delay, to
00:29:11correct some mistakes when it comes to foreign policy, but
00:29:15it will always be, as they do it, limited,
00:29:19temporary, and changeable, depending on the moment,
00:29:22right, and what they think suits them better, I think that
00:29:26Vučić, Vučić is now assessing that, in the
00:29:29context of this election campaign, it suits
00:29:33him to somehow achieve something not
00:29:37so much with Ukraine as with the European Union, that
00:29:40this visit should actually be uh
00:29:44analyzed and observed from that angle,
00:29:48perhaps even to somehow
00:29:51with his geopolitical juggling to uh
00:29:55perhaps muddy the waters a little when it comes to the
00:29:59anticipated, we can expect probably
00:30:01a very... massive election fraud that is
00:30:05being prepared uh at
00:30:08this moment, so Serbia is also, of course, in a very
00:30:12specific situation, Ukraine, as many comment, seeks
00:30:15support wherever it can get it, so probably therefore
00:30:18uh he will not of course deal with our
00:30:21internal situation to that extent, Zelensky, but
00:30:25whether in fact, precisely when it comes to how
00:30:28the world views
00:30:31this event. uh Vučić, with this move, as
00:30:35historian Dragan Jokovina says, solidifies his
00:30:38policy of sitting on multiple chairs, he used that exact phrase
00:30:42they say precisely because of the focus that the Ukrainian,
00:30:46Ukrainian issue has at this moment on the international scene, that
00:30:50today's visit approximately has such a result, well, Vučić has
00:30:53lost a lot on the internal front in 25. The year
00:30:57was actually that process of...
