00:00:20Good evening, you are watching the N1 news, I am Filip Lukić,
00:00:23this is the news
00:00:24of the day.
00:00:28The President of Ukraine is on his first official visit to Serbia.
00:00:32The European future was discussed, and a memorandum of cooperation
00:00:35in the field of agriculture was signed. But
00:00:39is that all? We did
00:00:42not discuss
00:00:46any military cooperation today.
00:00:47Furthermore,
00:00:50we need more money so that our defense industry
00:00:54can produce twice as much as it produces
00:00:56today.
00:01:00Other topics in the news tonight.
00:01:01The fire in Deliblatska
00:01:06Peščara has spread to 1.5 hectares. The road
00:01:08from Šumarak to Kovin is closed to traffic,
00:01:12and this will
00:01:15surely last. This cannot end quickly. Our priority
00:01:19is that no one gets hurt.
00:01:23Will you get it now? You'll get it faster than you think.
00:01:27Much faster than you think. Both money and everything else. And money
00:01:31for aid in rebuilding houses and equipment. Milan Matić
00:01:34has been waiting for more than a year after the fire in the village
00:01:38of Dubovo.
00:01:41I expected help, like some people got, some didn't,
00:01:45mostly they didn't.
00:01:48The Danube near Novi Sad has receded to the point of
00:01:51revealing something unseen until now.
00:01:55We stand on the remaining foundations
00:01:59of the Petrovaradin Fortress, which stood on the war
00:02:01island.
00:02:04Tomorrow, partly cloudy, possible showers in the mountains,
00:02:07temperature up to 35
00:02:09degrees.
00:02:14The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, concluded his first
00:02:18visit to Serbia, a country that is among the few that have not imposed sanctions
00:02:22on Russia, which is considered pro-Russian. The focus of the two presidents,
00:02:25at least according to what they said
00:02:29to the media, was talks on the European path,
00:02:33economy, energy, and agriculture. However,
00:02:36was military cooperation discussed behind
00:02:40closed doors?
00:02:43Red carpet, guard, and a discreetly decorated city with Ukrainian flags
00:02:46for the first visit of President Volodymyr Zelensky to a country where sympathy for Russia
00:02:50and Vladimir Putin himself is not hidden. The fact that
00:02:54before his visit, it was mentioned in public that the two countries could
00:02:57discuss joint construction of a drone factory in Serbia,
00:03:01his host explicitly denies it. Perhaps something
00:03:04remained behind closed doors. The meeting of the two presidents, who already
00:03:07had a ceremonial dinner yesterday, lasted twice as long as
00:03:11planned. We did not discuss
00:03:14any military cooperation
00:03:17today.
00:03:18In today's
00:03:21time, what
00:03:24will
00:03:26happen when the war ends is another matter. And
00:03:30as for the killing, I hope the killing will
00:03:34stop. We will open
00:03:37a drone factory here in September, but with the Israelis. We are doing
00:03:40this with the Israelis. Ukrainians are very successful and have
00:03:44many of their own drone factories. Furthermore,
00:03:48we need more money so that our defense industry
00:03:51can produce twice as much as it produces today. These are huge sums of money,
00:03:55billions. The president asked me today, I shared that with him,
00:03:59I won't reveal it to the media today, but Ukraine doesn't have as much money
00:04:02as Russia uses for its war. We won't have it. What we do have
00:04:06and what we need, we get with the help of other countries. The two presidents
00:04:10did not mention Vladimir Putin's name in their address to the media,
00:04:13but the Ukrainian journalist did.
00:04:16Mr. President, why does Vladimir Putin want to continue
00:04:20this aggression and this war, and perhaps you see some
00:04:23signals that he is ready for a real negotiation
00:04:26process?
00:04:28I cannot give serious assessments and assumptions about whether the war will
00:04:32end soon or not so soon. Without a doubt, I believe,
00:04:35and the entire international community, including Serbia, our entire nation
00:04:39would want this war to end as soon as possible. A common
00:04:43topic for the two countries is membership in the European Union. On this path, Kyiv and
00:04:47Belgrade are not rivals,
00:04:48but partners.
00:04:51This is not just reality, it is not just enthusiasm
00:04:55in choosing the European Union and choosing that path. I understand Aleksandar's skepticism
00:04:58that he shared with me last night in detail. Ukraine simply does not have time
00:05:01for skepticism or anything else. We are at war. In that war,
00:05:05we are defending our independence and our understanding of what Ukraine
00:05:09should be like in the future. That is simply the step they have chosen.
00:05:14We talked for a long time. I presented
00:05:17our position
00:05:20to President Zelensky. I fully understand
00:05:23Ukraine's position on that matter. Ukraine
00:05:26wants to open all clusters as quickly as possible.
00:05:30Ukraine wants quick membership in the European
00:05:33Union.
00:05:37I told President Zelensky
00:05:39that
00:05:42I understand all of that and that I also understand
00:05:45that kind of enthusiasm,
00:05:47but that as President of Serbia, as someone who is a political veteran,
00:05:51I do not currently see
00:05:53the possibility, first and foremost for Serbia, I was not talking about Ukraine,
00:05:57so first and foremost for Serbia, to soon become a member of the European
00:06:00Union for numerous political reasons.
00:06:03The plan is to conclude a free trade agreement between the two
00:06:07countries by the end of the year. During this visit, a memorandum of cooperation in the field of animal
00:06:11health and food safety was signed. Serbia will continue
00:06:14to send humanitarian aid to the war-affected Ukrainian
00:06:17people, and Serbia is ready to help rebuild one city.
00:06:21Žana Bulajić, N1 Belgrade.
00:06:25How might Brussels react to Zelensky's visit to Belgrade,
00:06:28and how might Moscow? What did the former US ambassador
00:06:32say before the visit, and what remained in the background of the
00:06:35two presidents' talks? All about that in Jelena
00:06:39Mirković's story.
00:06:41The fact that the presidents of Serbia and Ukraine met
00:06:45side by side in Belgrade for the first time
00:06:48is a signal of the visit's importance, but also an important signal to Brussels
00:06:52and Russia itself, says former diplomat Duško
00:06:55Lopandić. This is certainly a shift
00:06:58for Belgrade, as I said, primarily
00:07:00towards Berlin, Brussels. In fact,
00:07:03signals for which
00:07:07Vučić then expects some reward,
00:07:10in the foreseeable future.
00:07:13And that, that will be
00:07:16the primary effect, I think, of this visit,
00:07:19but I would say that
00:07:23Serbia is not in a position to fully side with one
00:07:26or the other. Nikola Ksavijerev from the German Council on Foreign
00:07:30Relations is also convinced that balancing continues. He says that because
00:07:33of what was seen in Belgrade and what Aleksandar Vučić said,
00:07:37Moscow will not be angry. In the Kremlin, there will be no
00:07:41negative sentiment towards this. Of course,
00:07:44they are not happy, but
00:07:47that is the policy where, of course, diplomatically,
00:07:50the differences that one
00:07:54can live with are always packaged. I think that this visit also
00:07:58through this, through this press conference, clearly
00:08:02shows that there was a formal part, an
00:08:05informal part, and everything that is essentially
00:08:08delicate was left out, that is, it was
00:08:12the subject of discussion during last night's
00:08:16extensive dinner. That remains unknown, but
00:08:19that is not surprising, says the former Consul of Ukraine in Belgrade,
00:08:23Aleksandar Levčenko, because Belgrade, he states,
00:08:27has characteristic relations with Moscow and with Ukraine. This should
00:08:30not be confused, and it is important that these relations
00:08:33are in the interest of our two states. We
00:08:37have something to say about our European
00:08:40path. So Ukraine and Serbia are moving towards
00:08:44entering the European Union. That is important.
00:08:48And we have somewhat similar
00:08:51positions on our negotiations with our European partners
00:08:54and how difficult it is to open chapters, especially
00:08:58even harder to close negotiation
00:09:00chapters. Moscow has repeatedly criticized Belgrade for
00:09:03Serbian weapons ending up in Ukraine. In an interview
00:09:07with the German newspaper "Faz", the former US ambassador
00:09:10to Serbia, Christopher Hill, says that he was
00:09:14precisely the mediator between Belgrade and Kyiv. However, experts say
00:09:18that the claims in the mentioned text that Kyiv and Belgrade
00:09:21plan to jointly work on drones are for now less
00:09:25likely. I would not rule out the possibility that it is possible,
00:09:28I don't know if it will actually happen. Serbia previously signed a contract
00:09:32with an Israeli company regarding drone production,
00:09:36but it is certainly a possibility. Ukraine has shown
00:09:39impressive resilience precisely because of that, Serbia,
00:09:42that is, all Serbs who harbor certain support for Russia or Vladimir
00:09:46Putin should reconsider that. Serbia has something
00:09:49that can help Ukraine in resisting
00:09:52Russia, but the idea
00:09:54that all efforts will now somehow be
00:09:58combined, one must still be careful, because
00:10:01Serbia further counts on
00:10:05maintaining a relationship with Russia.
00:10:08I think that has not been
00:10:11a good relationship for a long time, but former Vice President
00:10:15Aleksandar Vulin does not think so. For Russian media,
00:10:18he states that Zelensky's visit to Belgrade is not in line with the wishes
00:10:22of Serbian citizens and represents the result
00:10:25of Brussels' pressure and the European Union's revenge
00:10:29for, as he said, President Aleksandar Vučić's refusal to
00:10:32sign the anti-Russian declaration from the Ukraine-Southeast Europe
00:10:35summit held in July. Jelena Mirković,
00:10:39N1, Belgrade.
00:10:42In the continuation of the news,
00:10:43you will see.
00:10:47Why did the opposition MP throw eggs
00:10:50at Albin Kurti? Before that, about the fires
00:10:58in Serbia.
00:10:59Srbiji.
00:11:02In Serbia, six open fires are still active,
00:11:06says the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Emergency Situations Sector
00:11:09of Serbia. The situation is worst in Deliblatska Peščara, where
00:11:12the multi-day fight against the fire continues, which has spread
00:11:16to 1.5 hectares, twice as much as yesterday. The helicopter
00:11:19unit has been operating there all day today, and
00:11:23work machines have been engaged.
00:11:28N1 reporter Nenad Nešić is in the affected
00:11:31area. Nenad, you and the cameraman managed to reach Šumarak,
00:11:34but you soon had to return to the village of Gaj,
00:11:37from where the road to Dubovac and Šumarak
00:11:40is closed. Does that mean that the fire has spread
00:11:44to that part, which is practically the edge of Deliblatska
00:11:47Peščara?
00:11:52That's right, Filip, this smoky sky behind my back
00:11:56and above Šumarak only partially, I would say,
00:11:59reflects the true situation on the ground, that is,
00:12:03the fire in this part of Deliblatska Peščara. As you
00:12:06said, more than 1.5 hectares
00:12:09is burning or is under smoke. That is truly
00:12:12a huge area, and somehow in line with that is
00:12:16the assessment of the authorities. So,
00:12:19at this moment, there is no prognosis
00:12:23when this fire will be brought under control, except that it will probably
00:12:26last for days ahead of us. So, such a pessimistic
00:12:30assessment, it seems to me, best indicates the situation
00:12:34on the ground. We were in Šumarak today, but about two
00:12:37and a half hours ago, the police asked us to leave that
00:12:41settlement and move to the village of Gaj, a few kilometers further,
00:12:45precisely for safety reasons. Regarding the situation
00:12:49with the citizens, Filip, they are not willing to stand in front of the camera.
00:12:53You can see that people are scared, worried about their
00:12:56property. Where evacuation has not been ordered,
00:13:00but has been given as a kind of recommendation, there are still people
00:13:04who are there, on guard in their homes,
00:13:07taking turns with neighbors, although the authorities appeal
00:13:11for people not to approach the fire and
00:13:14to leave the firefighters to fight the fire
00:13:17storm. So it's a very tense situation, I can freely
00:13:21say. As for the firefighters themselves, there are about 300 people
00:13:25on the ground at the moment. You said that today
00:13:28there was action from the ground and from the air, four
00:13:32helicopters were constantly flying over this
00:13:34area. As explained by the Emergency Situations Sector, for safety
00:13:38reasons, there cannot be more than four helicopters in the air
00:13:42at the same time, nor are more than 300 people needed. They say
00:13:46that this is the optimal number that can fight this fire.
00:13:49On the other hand, in addition to that action from the ground
00:13:53and from the air, there is also the fight being waged
00:13:57with construction machines. Several large construction machines
00:14:00passed by us here about an hour or an hour and a half ago.
00:14:04To explain it simply, a path is being made through the forest.
00:14:07The idea is to make a path 50 or more meters wide
00:14:11and in some way to encircle the fire from all sides
00:14:14so that it can be brought under control at some point.
00:14:18That is roughly how, first and foremost, the firefighters
00:14:22are fighting this big fire. As I said, the estimates
00:14:25are not at all optimistic, which means that the situation
00:14:29is being monitored minute by minute. Luka Čaušić,
00:14:32head of the Emergency Situations Sector, held a press
00:14:35conference today precisely in Šumarak. Here is what he said
00:14:39on that occasion. Right behind these
00:14:43residential buildings, there is a huge clearing that we made
00:14:47over 50 meters long,
00:14:501700, maybe even 2000 meters.
00:14:53However, the wind is so strong,
00:14:57and the conditions are so unfavorable when it comes
00:14:59to the development of this fire, that this fight
00:15:03will simply be difficult and uncertain. We have applied literally
00:15:07all known tactical actions here. So,
00:15:10due to the terrain configuration,
00:15:12due to strong winds, the only thing we can do
00:15:16is to encircle the fire with firebreaks,
00:15:19so to speak. As I said, we have
00:15:2229, 30 large
00:15:25work machines, and we will try to contain
00:15:29it in that way, and this will surely
00:15:32last. This cannot end quickly. Our priority is that no one
00:15:36gets hurt, to try to protect the houses in several settlements here,
00:15:40and then of course the most valuable forest, and then everything
00:15:44else that is in this truly natural
00:15:46pearl.
00:15:51The Emergency Situations Sector says that no building has burned
00:15:54down in the fire, and there is no longer any doubt that this is
00:15:58actually the most critical point regarding fires in Serbia
00:16:01at the moment. As they say, the fire could potentially
00:16:05spread to the settlement of Šušara, although everything
00:16:08is being done at the moment to stop that, of course. Journalists
00:16:11were also interested today in how such a large
00:16:15and unprecedented fire broke out in Deliblatska Peščara,
00:16:18but as the Emergency Situations Sector says, those analyses
00:16:21will be done later. At the moment, they do not want to speculate,
00:16:25but as they say, the first priority is to bring the fire
00:16:29under control, and the analyses will be done in a later period.
00:16:33As for the blockade here, Filip, from the village of Gaj
00:16:36to the village of Dubovac, the traffic blockade, as you can see,
00:16:40cars are constantly turning around behind me. It is unknown how long
00:16:43it will last and be in force.
00:16:46Thank you, Nenad, for all this information. Nenad Nešić reported
00:16:49from the village of Gaj, monitoring the situation
00:16:53regarding the fires in Deliblatska Peščara throughout the day.
00:16:55Peščari.
00:16:58And the journalist Slobodan Dukić of Pančevo
00:17:02City portal had to leave his house in Šumarak. He has
00:17:06been with his daughter in Belgrade for several days. And he told N1
00:17:09how he follows the situation on the ground and what the evacuation
00:17:12looked like. The police
00:17:14come in and say, you have to
00:17:18evacuate. I, as you see me,
00:17:22with my wife, son, and dogs,
00:17:25we have five dogs, we left Šumarak
00:17:29on Thursday around 5
00:17:32PM, and here we are at our
00:17:35daughter's place. As refugees. It was
00:17:39the first fire that the firefighters
00:17:42put out somewhere after midnight, I was told.
00:17:46Above my garage. We have cameras. We monitor
00:17:50the situation in the yard, but the cameras
00:17:52don't reach the garages.
00:17:55So the firefighter told me that
00:17:59they put it out right there at my place.
00:18:02I had no idea that that could happen,
00:18:06because the fire is there, left and right, that big one,
00:18:10but what I want to tell you, which is very important,
00:18:13people there are livestock farmers and agriculturalists.
00:18:17They can't get to their houses to feed their livestock.
00:18:20They have cows, sheep, goats. I have
00:18:23a neighbor who has a large bird garden. He can't
00:18:27get there. There are hundreds of birds, tropical,
00:18:30exotic. The police don't allow anyone to go
00:18:34there. The power is cut off. I am very worried. I am physically
00:18:38with you, but my spirit is there. The neighbors are desperate,
00:18:41I tell you. These are people who live there, not weekenders. I have lived
00:18:45there for 25, 26 years.
00:18:47I completely understand them.
00:18:51Residents of the settlements in Deliblatska Peščara
00:18:54and activists are collecting aid for firefighters
00:18:57and all people involved in extinguishing the fire.
00:19:00Anyone who wants to help can contact the Kovin Humano
00:19:04Srce organization. An aid collection campaign was organized
00:19:07today by students of medicine and dentistry faculties in Belgrade,
00:19:11as well as the Faculty of Philosophy
00:19:12in Novi Sad and Niš.
00:19:16The fire above Ušće has been localized,
00:19:20as has the one on Žaračka mountain. On Stolovi mountain,
00:19:23mostly low vegetation is burning, but the fire does not
00:19:26threaten any settlements. The Emergency Situations Sector
00:19:29says it is very important that the fire near Ušće
00:19:33was brought under control because it entered a complex of coniferous
00:19:40forest and threatened to spread. A year after the large fires
00:19:44in the Toplica district, the villages are still far
00:19:47from recovery. In Dubovo, although promised, water supply
00:19:50remains unresolved, and the state has not built
00:19:53a single house. Some received money, but Milan Matić,
00:19:57to whom Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić personally told
00:20:00on camera that help would arrive, I quote, "faster
00:20:03than he thinks," claims he has not received a single
00:20:07dinar to this day. Why, we asked the president's press service.
00:20:10Man in need, you will get it faster than you think, much faster
00:20:12than you think, money and everything else. I just showed
00:20:16what was burned in the video and I said
00:20:20beekeeping equipment, he said you'll get it faster than you think,
00:20:24the bee equipment was here, yes, here, that's
00:20:27all gone, right? Everything is gone here, so the roof
00:20:30burned down, everything from the high temperature, the walls
00:20:34cracked, it was chaos, we couldn't. I couldn't
00:20:37go in, I walked along the road and I said, "Oh, the gas
00:20:41house burned down," they say we have nothing, they say
00:20:44come fend for yourselves or
00:20:46run away, did you see any firefighter come there?
00:20:50Not one, brother, I called through the police,
00:20:53I didn't know the number, but through the police, they said, "Madam, run,"
00:20:57I said, "I'm in the middle of the fire." When Milan Matić was told that his
00:21:01house was burning, approaching his house in the village of
00:21:04Dubovo, he saw a dozen houses burning along the way.
00:21:08That is a sight we still see today. Some received
00:21:11help, they could apply for auxiliary
00:21:14buildings. That was not important to him because his building
00:21:17is legalized, but it is not an auxiliary one, but rather
00:21:20for living. His request for aid for its reconstruction
00:21:23was officially rejected because he did not meet the
00:21:27conditions. They asked for electricity consumption. Now
00:21:30they calculate electricity consumption per household in Serbia
00:21:33as 350 kilowatts. 350 kilowatts so that
00:21:37they would acknowledge that you need help. To come here and prepare
00:21:40something on the stove, that's all small. And about the
00:21:44bees, Glamočić will come to see if we can help with bee equipment
00:21:48and we will try to make up for the
00:21:51house. That in three or four days. But
00:21:55a year has passed, that is, 13 months, a little more, that's all.
00:21:58He is waiting for what the first man of Serbia promised
00:22:02him, visiting the burned villages accompanied by many cameras.
00:22:05And from the state, they never received anything, I only know
00:22:09that not a single dinar. You should not be ashamed of that, you should
00:22:12take it, because the state is there to help people in need,
00:22:16not for some to abuse the state, but to help people in need, you know.
00:22:20I expected help, like some people got, some didn't, mostly
00:22:23didn't. Mhm. So I expected help and I thought
00:22:27I would get help, but I went to the municipality of Žitorađa
00:22:31countless times, I wrote to the ministries from the municipality of Žitorađa
00:22:34to which the village of Dubovo belongs, there is no answer to
00:22:38several inquiries about how and under what conditions
00:22:41and with what criteria financial aid was distributed
00:22:45in this village.
00:22:46Milan Stojanović, N1, Dubovo. But the president
00:22:50continues to promise in the campaign he has been running for weeks,
00:22:54despite the Ukrainian president's visit. He continued
00:22:57his campaign today by visiting Belagiš.
00:23:01That campaign is such that the focus is clearly
00:23:05on villages and smaller towns. Students chose a similar
00:23:08concept with the campaign "A student in every village," but
00:23:12without media coverage, it turns out that only
00:23:14Vučić is in every village.
00:23:20In the past month, President Aleksandar Vučić
00:23:23visited Jadranska Lešnica, Vladimirovce, Lapovo,
00:23:27Drežnik, Banovo Polje, Vasilj Temska, and Gorčince,
00:23:30mostly villages not well known to the wider public. We heard,
00:23:34there will be more children. We can. Cheers. Thank
00:23:37you for your hospitality. It's not the first time
00:23:41he visits villages, but it is the first time he systematically
00:23:44visits them, bypassing cities. What else do you think
00:23:48is important for Bogošnica? What do you need here
00:23:51in Temska itself? Somewhere he asks what
00:23:55is needed, elsewhere he sees what is missing, and if more
00:23:58than one thing is missing, as was the case in Babušnica,
00:24:01the president then offers citizens to choose.
00:24:04Do they want a road, a high school, or a sports hall?
00:24:08I understood from the applause that this road
00:24:10is the most important to you.
00:24:13Alen Piću, take care, we have to
00:24:16do all these local streets here through the
00:24:20village, and we will already in the next three days
00:24:23go out with machines to start working,
00:24:26so that's
00:24:29how it goes constantly, a retinue follows him.
00:24:33Then he sits down and eats. I mean, these are stories
00:24:37and images that have been repeating for years, and that's nothing new. Look what
00:24:41I got for a thousand. I can drink, but I'm not that hungover.
00:24:45Your pepper is not the bell pepper, but the longer one,
00:24:48domestic, domestic long pepper, desperately. He offers
00:24:52everything again, just even
00:25:06got lost in every one of these villages in his campaign. And students
00:25:10are in every village, it's been months now,
00:25:13it just seems like no one is there to film them. That's
00:25:16why on the table in front of the president, traditionally, besides gibanica...
00:25:24It is not difficult at all to be a brilliant strategist and a great
00:25:27statesman from whom Europe trembles when you have all
00:25:30the televisions and all newspapers and all
00:25:33media, and where you are on those televisions all day long, and
00:25:37so for the last 15 years, well, how can I say, anyone could be
00:25:41a brilliant strategist and a great statesman when he has such
00:25:44a media infrastructure, he has
00:25:47media that closely follow every magnificent thing.
00:26:02a little attention, thank you, I really
00:26:05thank you immensely, and I will never
00:26:08forget this day as long as I live, such
00:26:11things
00:26:15rarely happen,
00:26:18but actually, literally every time the president
00:26:21experiences
00:26:22the same thing.
00:26:40Maja Nikolić N1
00:26:42Belgrade.
00:26:47Although the deadline for the constitution of the Kosovo Assembly
00:26:50expired last night at midnight, the session is scheduled
00:26:54to continue today. The fact that only Self-Determination does not propose
00:26:57a candidate for the president of the parliament has caused strong
00:27:00reactions from opposition parties.
00:27:03The MP of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Tim Kadiala,
00:27:06is the leader of Self-Determination and the acting
00:27:10prime minister, Aljbin Kurti, who requested
00:27:13additional time for consultations, which
00:27:15the opposition interprets as a continuation of the institutional
00:27:19blockade. The session was interrupted, Kurti's
00:27:22security entered the hall. The presiding officer, Abnide Hari,
00:27:25said that the deputies would be informed about the continuation
00:27:29of the session, on which depends whether Kosovo will get a new
00:27:32government or whether citizens will go to the polls
00:27:34again. By the end of the news
00:27:38you will see.
00:27:42What is the situation at the border crossings and why
00:27:46increased traffic
00:27:48intensity is expected.
00:27:55Before that, news from the world.
00:27:56At least
00:27:59three people, including one child, were killed last night
00:28:03in Russian attacks near Kyiv, reports the BBC. Rockets
00:28:07hit an area east of the capital early this morning. Moscow
00:28:11announced that it had targeted a Flamingo missile factory, a fuel
00:28:15and lubricant depot. Two ships were also hit while sailing
00:28:18south and east of Odesa. On the other hand,
00:28:22the General Staff of Ukraine confirmed that refineries in
00:28:26Krasnodar Krai and Samara Oblast in
00:28:29Russia were hit.
00:28:32Typhoon Dolphin hit Japan's Okinawa region,
00:28:36injuring six people, and more than
00:28:3850,000 facilities were left without electricity.
00:28:41Japanese airlines canceled
00:28:45flights to and from Okinawa, and the typhoon had
00:28:48a maximum wind speed of 162
00:28:51km/h, while gusts reached
00:28:54216 km/h. China,
00:28:57meanwhile, closed ports and suspended ferry traffic,
00:29:01ahead of the expected arrival of the storm on its eastern coast
00:29:04on the night between Sunday and Monday. Typhoon
00:29:07Dolphin has an orange warning, which is the
00:29:11second highest level of warning. There is fear of
00:29:14floods and
00:29:15landslides.
00:29:21Back to domestic topics. The water level of the Danube near Novi Sad
00:29:24has never been this low. The receding water
00:29:27revealed numerous remains of the past, and
00:29:30the N1 team by boat visited everything that has emerged
00:29:34from the Danube in recent days.
00:29:38The Danube near Novi Sad has dropped so much that what has been hidden
00:29:41for decades has begun to emerge from the water. To see what
00:29:45the river has left behind, we board a boat with
00:29:48Borislav, who practically grew up on the river. And the first thing
00:29:52he shows us is what should not have been in the middle
00:29:55of the river.
00:29:58What are we currently standing on? Well, we are standing on an incredible place, we are standing
00:30:01on... the remaining foundations
00:30:04of the Petroran Fortress which stood on the war island, which was once
00:30:08in the middle of the Danube, and
00:30:10simply this has never emerged to my knowledge in my lifetime, and
00:30:14fishermen and people around me who have spent a lot of time on
00:30:17the Danube do not remember such a sight, I mean, I have really never seen this.
00:30:21Never like this, say those who are now investigating the phenomenon. At this
00:30:25place stood the Island Trench, built at the end of the 17th century
00:30:29to protect the fortress, only for it to be swallowed by the Danube over the following centuries.
00:30:32as old cadastral maps show,
00:30:35that fortress slowly disappeared in the waves of the Danube until
00:30:39the end of the 19th century, when it completely vanished.
00:30:43Now, thanks to the Danube's unprecedentedly low water level, we are for the first
00:30:46time able to see these
00:30:49remnants of the fortification. And with the receding water,
00:30:53objects from different eras have emerged, from Turkish and
00:30:56Austrian pipes to cannonballs from the time of the siege.
