00:00:21Good evening, you are watching N1 news, I am Filip Lukić, this is the news
00:00:24of the day.
00:00:28The President of Ukraine on his first official visit to Serbia,
00:00:32discussions were held on the European future, a memorandum of cooperation in the field
00:00:35of agriculture was also signed, but
00:00:39is that all?
00:00:41We did not discuss
00:00:43any
00:00:46military cooperation today.
00:00:50We still need more money so that our defense industry can
00:00:53produce twice as much as it produces
00:00:55today.
00:00:59Other... Topics in the news
00:01:00tonight.
00:01:05The fire in Deliblatska Peščara has spread to
00:01:091.5 hectares, and the road from Šumarak to Kovin
00:01:12is closed for traffic.
00:01:15And this will surely last. This cannot be finished quickly.
00:01:19Our priority is that no one gets hurt.
00:01:22You will get it faster than you think. Much
00:01:26faster than you think. Thank you. Both money and everything else. For
00:01:30money for aid in rebuilding the house and equipment, Milan
00:01:34Matić has been waiting for more than a year after the fire in the village
00:01:37Dubavo.
00:01:40I expected help, as you know some people received some, some didn't, mostly
00:01:43didn't receive it.
00:01:47The Danube near Novi Sad has receded to the extent that it has revealed
00:01:50something previously unseen.
00:01:53Foundations of the Petroljenjska fortress that stood on
00:01:57the war island. Tomorrow, variable clouds,
00:02:02possible showers in the mountains,
00:02:05temperature up to 35
00:02:07degrees.
00:02:12Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has concluded his first
00:02:15visit to Serbia, a country that is among the few that have not imposed
00:02:19sanctions on Russia, which is considered pro-Russian
00:02:22oriented. The focus of the two presidents, at least according to
00:02:26what they said to the media, were discussions
00:02:29on the European path, economy, energy
00:02:32and agriculture. However, was there any talk
00:02:35of military cooperation
00:02:38behind closed doors? Red carpet, guard and discretely
00:02:42decorated city with Ukrainian flags for the first visit of President Volodymyr
00:02:46Zelensky, to a country where sympathy for Russia and Vladimir Putin himself is not hidden.
00:02:50The fact that before his visit it was mentioned publicly
00:02:53that the two countries could discuss joint construction
00:02:57of a drone factory is denied by Serbia and
00:03:00his host. Perhaps something was left behind closed doors,
00:03:03the meeting of the two presidents who already had a formal dinner yesterday, instead
00:03:07of the planned 30 minutes, lasted twice as long. We did not
00:03:11discuss any
00:03:15military cooperation
00:03:16today. In today's
00:03:19time, what will
00:03:22happen
00:03:24when the work is finished, that's another matter, and
00:03:28as for the killing, I hope the killing
00:03:32will stop, we will open a drone factory
00:03:36is transferred to more expensive trucks and here in September, but with the Israelis, we are doing it with
00:03:38the Israelis. Ukrainians are very successful and have
00:03:42many of their own drone factories. We still
00:03:46need more money so that our defense industry can
00:03:49produce twice as much as it produces today. These are huge sums of money, billions
00:03:53of dollars. Today, the President asked me, I shared that with him, I will not
00:03:57reveal it to the media today, but Ukraine does not have that much money
00:04:00as Russia uses for its war, we will not have it. What we have and what
00:04:04we need, we have with the help of other countries. The two presidents did not
00:04:08utter the name of Vladimir Putin in their address to the media, but
00:04:11a Ukrainian journalist did.
00:04:14Mr. President, why does Vladimir Putin want to continue
00:04:18this aggression and this war and perhaps you see some signals
00:04:22that he is ready for a real negotiating
00:04:24process?
00:04:26I cannot give serious assessments and assumptions whether the war
00:04:30will end soon or not so soon, without a doubt I believe and the entire
00:04:34international community, including Serbia, our entire nation would
00:04:37like this war to end as soon as possible. A common
00:04:41topic for the two countries is membership in the European Union, on that path Kiev and
00:04:45Belgrade are not rivals, but
00:04:46partners.
00:04:49This is not just reality, it is not just enthusiasm in choosing the European Union and
00:04:52choosing that path. I understand Aleksandar's skepticism, which he shared
00:04:56with me last night in detail. Ukraine simply has no time for skepticism
00:05:00or anything else, we are at war, in that war we are defending our
00:05:03independence and understanding of what Ukraine should be in
00:05:07the future, that is simply a step that the
00:05:10state and the people chose together. "We talked
00:05:13for a long time, I presented our
00:05:15position
00:05:17to President Zelensky, I fully understand
00:05:21Ukraine's position on this issue. Ukraine
00:05:24wants to open all clusters as quickly as possible.
00:05:28Ukraine wants quick membership in the European
00:05:31Union.
00:05:35I told President Zelensky
00:05:37that
00:05:40I understand all of that, and I understand of course" that kind
00:05:43of enthusiasm,
00:05:45but as the President of Serbia, as someone who is a political veteran, I do not see at
00:05:49this moment the possibility, first of all for Serbia, I was not
00:05:53talking about Ukraine, so first of all for Serbia, to soon
00:05:56become a member of the European Union for
00:05:59numerous political reasons. The plan is to conclude a free trade agreement
00:06:03between the two countries by the end of the year. During this visit, a
00:06:07memorandum of cooperation in the field of animal health and food safety was signed.
00:06:10The sending of humanitarian aid
00:06:12to the war-torn Ukrainian people will continue, and
00:06:16Serbia is ready to help in the reconstruction of one city. Žana
00:06:19Bulajić, N1
00:06:20Belgrade.
00:06:23How might Brussels react to Zelensky's visit to Belgrade,
00:06:27and how might Moscow? What did the former American ambassador say
00:06:30before the visit, and what remained in the background of the discussions
00:06:34of the two presidents? All about that in Jelena
00:06:37Mirković's story.
00:06:40The fact that the presidents of Serbia and Ukraine met
00:06:43in Belgrade for the first time is a signal of the
00:06:47importance of the visit, but also an important signal to Brussels and
00:06:50Russia itself, assesses former diplomat Duško
00:06:53Lopandić. This is certainly a shift of
00:06:56Belgrade towards, as I said, primarily towards
00:06:59Berlin, Brussels, in fact, signals
00:07:02for which Vučić then expects
00:07:05some reward, right,
00:07:09in the foreseeable future and that.
00:07:12That will be the primary effect, I think
00:07:16of this visit, this,
00:07:18but I would say that Serbia is not in
00:07:22a position to completely side with one or the other,
00:07:25that the balancing continues, believes Nikola
00:07:29Xavier from the German Council on Foreign Relations. He says
00:07:33that because of what was seen in Belgrade and what Aleksandar Vučić
00:07:36said, Moscow will not be angry. In the Kremlin there will be no
00:07:40negative sentiments towards this, of course they are
00:07:43not happy, but that is the policy where
00:07:47of course diplomatically always pack
00:07:50differences that can be lived with. I think
00:07:54that this visit also through this
00:07:57press conference clearly
00:08:00shows that there was a formal part and an
00:08:04informal part, and everything that, everything that
00:08:07is essentially delicate was left, that is, it
00:08:10was in preliminary discussions during last night's
00:08:14extensive dinner, that remains unknown, but
00:08:18that is not surprising, assesses former Ukrainian consul in Belgrade,
00:08:21Aleksandar Levchenko, because Belgrade, he states, has peculiar
00:08:25relations with Moscow, and with Ukraine it should not be mixed
00:08:29and it is important that these relations are for
00:08:32the interests of our two countries. We have
00:08:35much to say about
00:08:37our European path, meaning Ukraine and
00:08:41Serbia are moving towards joining the European
00:08:44Union. This is important and we have somewhat
00:08:47similar views on
00:08:49negotiations with our European partners and how
00:08:53difficult it is to open chapters, and even more difficult to close
00:08:57negotiating
00:09:00criticized Belgrade for Serbian weapons ending up in
00:09:04Ukraine. In an interview with German Faz, former
00:09:07US Ambassador to Serbia, Christopher Hill,
00:09:11says that he was the mediator between Belgrade
00:09:14and Kiev. However, experts say that the claims from
00:09:17the mentioned text that Kiev and Belgrade plan to work together on
00:09:21drones are for now less likely. I would not rule out
00:09:25the possibility that it is possible, I do not know if it will actually happen. Serbia
00:09:29previously concluded a contract with an Israeli company regarding
00:09:33drone production, but that is certainly a possibility.
00:09:36Ukraine has shown impressive resilience, which is why
00:09:40Serbia, that is, all Serbs who harbor certain
00:09:43Vladimir Putin, should reconsider this.
00:09:47Serbia has something that can help Ukraine
00:09:50in resisting Russia, but
00:09:53the idea that all forces will now somehow
00:09:57be brought together, one must still be careful, because
00:10:00Serbia still counts on maintaining
00:10:03a relationship with Russia,
00:10:07I think it has not been a partnership for a long time, but...
00:10:10Former Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin does not think so, stating
00:10:14to Russian media that Zelensky's visit to Belgrade is not in line with
00:10:18the wishes of Serbian citizens and represents the result of pressure
00:10:21from Brussels and Europe's revenge. The European
00:10:25Union, as he said, due to President Aleksandar
00:10:28Vučić's refusal to sign the anti-Russian declaration from
00:10:32the Ukraine-Southeast Europe summit held in
00:10:35July. Jelena Mirković, N1,
00:10:38Belgrade.
00:10:43In the continuation of the news, regarding fires in the territory of Serbia, six open
00:10:47fires are active, among which four stand out,
00:10:50in the village of Šumarak in Deliblatska Peščara, on Mount
00:10:54Stolovi in the village of Maglič near Kraljevo, and in the village of
00:10:57Gabrovnica near Zaječar. This is stated in the latest report
00:11:01submitted to the operational team of the Republican Headquarters for Emergency
00:11:04Situations. The situation is most difficult in Deliblatska Peščara, where the
00:11:07multi-day fight against the fire continues. However, the data
00:11:11available to the Government of Serbia do not match the
00:11:14data provided by the Sector for Emergency Situations, which is on
00:11:18site. Namely, the government states that about 700
00:11:22hectares are burning in Deliblatska Peščara, while the Ministry of Internal Affairs
00:11:25states twice as much, 1.5 hectares. The fire today, according to
00:11:28information from the field, spread and reached the edge of Deliblatska
00:11:32Peščara. The road from Šumarak to Gaj is closed for traffic.
00:11:36According to the latest information, the water supply
00:11:39to the settlements of Dubovac and Šumarak has been restored
00:11:43after the interruption with the help of generators. The Ministry of Internal Affairs claims that
00:11:46there is an optimal number of 300 firefighters on the ground,
00:11:49while the government speaks of 125. As
00:11:53Luka Čaušić, head of the Sector for Emergency
00:11:56Situations, said to reporters earlier today, the situation
00:11:59is difficult, the wind hinders extinguishing, houses and other property
00:12:03are not endangered, say the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
00:12:05Right behind
00:12:07these residential buildings, here there is
00:12:11a huge cross-section that we made over 50 meters,
00:12:14with a length of 1,700, maybe even
00:12:172,000 meters, however, the wind is
00:12:20so strong, the conditions are so unfavorable when it comes to
00:12:24the development of this fire, that this fight will
00:12:27be difficult and uncertain and we have literally applied
00:12:31all known tactical actions here, so
00:12:35here due to the very terrain configuration,
00:12:38due to strong winds, the only thing we can do
00:12:42is to surround
00:12:45the fire with firebreaks, as I said
00:12:48we have 29, 30 large
00:12:51working machines and we will try to contain
00:12:55it in that way, and this will surely
00:12:58last, this cannot be finished quickly, our priority is that no one
00:13:02gets hurt, to try to protect the houses of several settlements here, of course
00:13:06then the most valuable forest then everything else that
00:13:10is in this truly natural
00:13:12pearl. Let's go live to
00:13:16Deliblatska Peščara, to check the situation, our reporter
00:13:19Darko Gligorijević is there. Darko, what is this
00:13:22we are watching at this moment? Where are you located,
00:13:26is it a new fire?
00:13:29Filip, I am currently in the village of Dubovac,
00:13:33which is located after the village of Šumar, where I reported from last night,
00:13:37this is currently what you are watching, that is,
00:13:40so to speak, the very edge of Deliblatska Peščara,
00:13:44there are currently several hotspots here, this
00:13:47that you are watching is, I would say, perhaps the smallest
00:13:51hotspot currently present, otherwise around me
00:13:53I assume you can hear them, these are locals who have
00:13:57joined the fire-fighting efforts, next to them are members
00:14:01of the voluntary fire department, I will now try
00:14:05to show you another fire
00:14:08that occurred in the meantime while I was waiting for this
00:14:11connection, so I don't know how much you can see
00:14:15the red flame in the distance, here it is
00:14:18quite vivid when you look at it, quite high, that is, of strong
00:14:22intensity, this happened literally maybe
00:14:2610 minutes ago, about half an
00:14:29hour ago we were from somewhere, we were about halfway
00:14:32between Šumarak and Dubovac when we
00:14:35saw the fire that suddenly
00:14:39started and we came here,
00:14:41so what I showed you at the beginning of the broadcast is about
00:14:455 meters from me, thick black smoke
00:14:49is here, it is extremely difficult to breathe,
00:14:52so that's it. Darko, what
00:14:55do those who are participating in extinguishing these
00:14:58fires say about all this? Is there any information
00:15:02whether the situation is under control regarding these new
00:15:05hotspots, and those we had the opportunity to watch during
00:15:09the day?
00:15:11Uh, no, uh, I did not receive confirmation from the locals
00:15:15at any point that the situation is under control, nor from the members of the voluntary
00:15:18fire department. What I had the opportunity to
00:15:22see while coming here was the change of shifts
00:15:26of both locals and members of the voluntary fire department. A large number of people
00:15:29are involved here, everyone is worried, especially
00:15:33with the appearance of this
00:15:36flame which is in the distance, maybe
00:15:39500 meters from me. Simply no one, in some
00:15:43unofficial conversation with them, no one feels either comfortable or safe
00:15:46right now. Thank you Darko for these new
00:15:50information, of course we will follow throughout the evening, and throughout
00:15:53tomorrow the situation in Deliblatska Peščara, as you can
00:15:57see, this is how it currently looks in the village of Dubovac.
00:16:01Darko Gligorijević, Zoomer reporter, reported to
00:16:03the news.
00:16:06And residents of the settlements of Peščara, activists are collecting
00:16:09aid for firefighters and all people who are involved in extinguishing the fire.
00:16:13All who wish to help can contact the organization Kovin
00:16:16Humano Srce. The campaign to collect aid was organized today
00:16:20by students of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry in Belgrade
00:16:23as well as the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad and Niš. During
00:16:27the afternoon, students gathered around the student list, as well as
00:16:30citizens' assemblies, collected donations in the center of Belgrade in
00:16:34Knez Mihajlova street.
00:16:41Today we collected a lot of donations in the form of water, food and
00:16:45medical supplies for firefighters who are currently on the ground due to the fire in
00:16:49Deliblatska Peščara. Thank you to all the people who donated and thank you to our
00:16:52firefighters.
00:16:55And one year after the big fires in Toplica district, the villages
00:16:59are still far from recovering. In Dubovo, although
00:17:02promised, the water supply is still
00:17:05unresolved and the state has not built a single house. Some received
00:17:09money, but Milan Matić, to whom the President of Serbia, Aleksandar
00:17:12Vučić, personally said on camera that help would arrive,
00:17:16I quote, "faster than he thinks", claims he has not received
00:17:20a single dinar to this day. Why? We asked the President's
00:17:23press service. "Man in trouble, you will get it faster than
00:17:27you think, much faster than you think. Thank you, money and everything
00:17:30else." I just showed what all burned in the video and I said
00:17:34beekeeping equipment. He said you will get it faster than you think.
00:17:37The beekeeping equipment was here, yes, here, that's all
00:17:41destroyed, right, everything is destroyed here, meaning the roof
00:17:44burned down, everything from the high temperature, the walls
00:17:48cracked, it was chaos, we couldn't, I couldn't
00:17:51enter, I walked along the road and I kept yelling "the house is burning, put it out!"
00:17:54He says we have nothing. He says come
00:17:58and find your way or run away. Did you see
00:18:01any firefighters come then? Not even one. I called
00:18:05and through the
00:18:08emergency number, I didn't know the number, but through the emergency number, and he says, "Madam,
00:18:12run away," and I said, "I'm not running, I'm in the middle of the fire." When
00:18:15Milan Matić was told that his house was burning, approaching his house
00:18:19in the village of Dubovo, he saw along the way ten houses
00:18:22burning. That is the scene we find today.
00:18:26Some received help, they could apply for auxiliary
00:18:30facilities, but that was not important to him, because his facility
00:18:33is legalized, but not the auxiliary one, but the house for living.
00:18:36For help. For its reconstruction, he was officially rejected because he did not
00:18:40meet the conditions. They asked for electricity consumption, now they
00:18:43calculate household electricity consumption in
00:18:47Serbia at 350 kW, 350 kW for them to
00:18:50acknowledge that you need help, to come here
00:18:54and cook sometimes on the stove, that's all small. And about
00:18:58the bees, Glamočić will come to see, can we help with the
00:19:02bee equipment, we will try to make up for the house
00:19:05within three or four days, but a year
00:19:09has passed, that is, 13 months, almost, he has been waiting
00:19:12for what the first man of Serbia
00:19:16promised him, visiting the burned villages accompanied by many cameras,
00:19:19and I never got anything from the state, just so you know, not a single
00:19:23dinar. You shouldn't be ashamed of that, you should take it as you will now
00:19:26take it, because the state serves to help people in need, it does
00:19:30not serve for some to abuse the state, but it serves to help a person in need. You know,
00:19:33I expected help, as you know some people received some, some didn't, mostly
00:19:37didn't receive it, mhm, so I expected help and I thought I would
00:19:41get help, but I was at the Žitorovje municipality
00:19:44countless times, I wrote to the ministries from the Žitorađa municipality to which
00:19:48the village of Dubovo belongs, there is no answer to several
00:19:52inquiries about how and under what conditions and with what
00:19:55criteria financial aid was
00:19:58distributed in this village. Milan Stojanović, N1
00:20:02Dubavo. But the president continues
00:20:06to make promises in the campaign in which he has been for weeks,
00:20:09despite the visit of the Ukrainian president, he continued the campaign
00:20:13today with a visit to Belgiš, from there he
00:20:15states, Serbia has the highest growth in Europe, and will hold elections in two
00:20:19or three months, until then he remains in the campaign which is such
00:20:22that the focus is clearly on villages and smaller places. Students also opted
00:20:26for a similar concept with the campaign "Student in
00:20:30Every Village", but without media coverage,
00:20:33it seems that only Vučić is in every village.
00:20:41In less than a month, President Aleksandar Vučić visited
00:20:45Jadranska Lešnica, Vladimirovci, Lapovo,
00:20:47Drežnik, Banovo Polje, Vasilj, Temska and Gorčince,
00:20:51mostly villages not well known to the
00:20:54general public. We heard, there will be more children, we can
00:20:58also, long live, thank you for your hospitality, it is
00:21:01not the first time he visits villages, but it is the first time
00:21:05he systematically visits them, bypassing
00:21:08cities. What else do you think is important for Babušnica, what do you need
00:21:12here in Temska itself? Sometimes he asks
00:21:15what is needed, sometimes he sees what is missing, and if
00:21:18more than one thing is missing, as it was in Babušnica,
00:21:22the president then offers citizens to choose,
00:21:25do they want a road, a high school or a sports
00:21:29hall? I understood by the applause that this road is
00:21:32most important to you,
00:21:35my dear, take care, we must
00:21:38do all these local streets here through the town,
00:21:41we will already go out with machines in the next three days
00:21:45to start working, so
00:21:48there.
00:21:51That's how it goes non-stop, he is followed by some entourage,
00:21:55then he sits down and eats, I mean, those are stories, pictures that have been repeating for
00:21:58years and it's nothing new. Look what I got for a thousand dinars, I can
00:22:02drink, I can drink, but I'm not really hungover. Your pepper is not
00:22:06the bell pepper, but the longer one, not domestic, domestic pepper,
00:22:10longer. He desperately offers everything the same again, only even
00:22:13stronger, because he absolutely has nothing new to offer for years
00:22:17now. Ljuba Aličić on the mic.
00:22:21Ljuba Aličić, I got
00:22:22lost here.
00:22:26But it's hard to believe that the president got lost in every single one of these villages.
00:22:30In his campaign, students are also in every village, they have been for
00:22:33months, only it seems no one is filming them.
00:22:36That's why on the table in front of the president
00:22:40traditionally, besides gibanica and meze, literally
00:22:43and something else, it's not at all
00:22:46difficult to be a brilliant strategist and a great statesman
00:22:50whom Europe trembles before, when you have all the televisions
00:22:54and all the newspapers and all the media and where you are on those
00:22:57televisions all day long and have been for the last 15 years,
00:23:01well, how can I say, anyone could be a brilliant strategist and a great
00:23:04statesman when they have such a media
00:23:07infrastructure. He has media that follow
00:23:10every magnificent welcome in every village,
00:23:14each one is such in its
00:23:15own way.
00:23:23Please just a little attention, thank
00:23:25you, I truly thank you endlessly, and
00:23:29I will not forget this day as long as I live, such
00:23:33things,
00:23:37rarely happen,
00:23:40and in fact, literally every time the president
00:23:43experiences
00:23:44the same.
00:24:07The citizens' assembly of Vrbas municipality organized a forum tonight, whose
00:24:11guest was the rector of the University of Belgrade, Vladan Đokić.
00:24:14They discussed elections, the student movement, and the rector announced
00:24:17a new student action. Serbia or
00:24:20Mafia, which starts next week, and it is a series
00:24:24of civic and student events dedicated to
00:24:27issues of security, rule of law and accountability
00:24:30of institutions. Rector Đokić states that all nominated candidates
00:24:34on the student list will cooperate with experts and adds that
00:24:38the government, despite attacks, has not managed to undermine confidence in
00:24:42higher education in
00:24:43Serbia.
00:24:46The university has currently become the main target and the main
00:24:50enemy of those in power, the reason is
00:24:53clear, it is support for students, and
00:24:57what follows, what followed after all those attacks on the university, is a
00:25:01completely opposite situation. A week
00:25:04or two ago, according to a survey, the institution
00:25:07in which Serbian citizens have the most trust is
00:25:11the state university, more than the church,
00:25:15more than the army, more than the
00:25:17police.
00:25:21"In the previous eight years, we had a slight decline every
00:25:24year in the enrollment of new students at the University of Belgrade,
00:25:27this year we have for the first time after eight years
00:25:30a rise.
00:25:36That rise is certainly not the result of the
00:25:39population growing in the previous year, nor
00:25:43that the university is not good, but it is the result
00:25:46of growing trust in the university.
00:25:53In a collision between a freight and passenger train of Croatian
00:25:56Railways today in Croatia a total of 20
00:25:59people were injured, the cause of the accident an investigation was launched. This is reported by
00:26:03Croatian Radio Television. In the collision, six
00:26:06people were seriously injured, three of whom are in intensive care. HRT
00:26:10reports that the Union of Train Dispatchers of Croatia stated that
00:26:14according to unofficial information, the freight train
00:26:17passed through a stop signal and then
00:26:20hit a passenger train whose driver was seriously
00:26:23injured.
00:26:29The water level of the Danube near Novi Sad has never been this low.
00:26:32The receding water also revealed numerous remains of the
00:26:35past, and the N1 team visited by boat
00:26:39everything that has emerged from the
00:26:41Danube these days.
00:26:45The Danube near Novi Sad has fallen so much that what has been hidden
00:26:48for decades has begun to emerge from the water. To see what
00:26:52the river has left behind, we board a boat with
00:26:55Borislav, who practically grew up on the river. And the first thing
00:26:59he shows us is what should not have been in the middle of the
00:27:02river,
00:27:05what are we currently standing on? Well, we are standing on an incredible place, we are standing
00:27:08on the remaining foundations of the
00:27:11Petroradian fortress which stood on the war island, which was once
00:27:15in the middle of the Danube, and simply this has
00:27:18never come out in my lifetime that I know of,
00:27:22who spent a lot of time on the Danube do not remember such a sight,
00:27:26I mean, I've never really seen this, never like this, say those
00:27:30who are now investigating the phenomenon at this place. At this place stood the island
00:27:33trench built at the end of the 17th century to protect the fortress, but
00:27:37the Danube swallowed it over the following centuries. As old
00:27:41cadastral maps show, that fortress slowly
00:27:44disappeared under the waves of the Danube and completely vanished by the end of the 19th century.
00:27:48vanished. Now, thanks to such a low
00:27:52water level of the Danube, we are for the first time able to
00:27:55see some remains of that
00:27:58fortification. And with the receding water, objects from different
00:28:02eras have also emerged. From Turkish Austrian pipes to
00:28:05cannonballs from the time of the siege, however, while some are researching what the river
00:28:08has revealed, others are finding it increasingly difficult to navigate. But here,
00:28:12in the last week or so, all traffic has stopped, even
00:28:16some boats cannot leave their Danube branches,
00:28:19places where they are parked in marinas. To see
00:28:23how much the Danube has receded and where it is currently shallowest, we continue by boat
00:28:27from Oficirac to Novi Sad, where new sandbanks
00:28:30have emerged from the water.
00:28:32We are currently located above the Freedom Bridge, and this is
00:28:36where all the Novi Sad rafts are, as you can see, they are
00:28:40on dry land, so the Danube has fallen so much that they didn't have time to
00:28:44move them, I mean, they can't move them, they would have to go into the river's main current. What is a new
00:28:47sunbathing spot for some people is a new
00:28:50habitat for others. I see now that many birds have
00:28:54settled here, at least temporarily. So
00:28:57how does this situation actually affect both animal and plant
00:29:00life? Well...
00:29:02"It affects animal life in such a way that cormorants and
00:29:06gulls now have more to feed on, especially
00:29:09gulls, as they are scavengers, aren't they, so they eat
00:29:13shells and everything else. Here you can really see all kinds of birds, from
00:29:16grey herons, cormorants, ducks. As for the fish
00:29:20stock, it is significantly endangered, because the fish stock has
00:29:23not spawned this year due to the water level itself. And the consequences do not
00:29:26end on the banks. Due to the shallows, barges that transport
00:29:29fuel and export grain on the Danube, navigate..." with significantly less
00:29:33cargo or cannot navigate at all, so part of the transport
00:29:38trains, Ina Džakula, N1, Novi
00:29:41Sad.
00:29:43For the end of the news, let's see what temperatures await us tomorrow.
00:30:09You watched the news, stay tuned of course to the N1 program, all
00:30:12the latest news can be found on our portal
00:30:15n1info.RS. Thank you for your attention, good
00:30:18night.
00:30:25Almost on every street, in every street of the old
00:30:29town center of Zaječar, one
00:30:32can stop at the source of life. Yes, Zaječar
00:30:36is the city with the most fountains, perhaps
00:30:39in Europe. For example, Khartoum in Sudan
00:30:43has two white rivers, the Blue and White Nile, which merge into the Great Nile.
00:30:47We are one of the rare cities in the world, or so I've heard, that has both a
00:30:50black river, which is the Black Timok, and a white river, which is the White
00:30:54Timok. For a farmer
00:30:56and for a resident of Serbia, it is important that...
