00:00:19Good afternoon, you're watching the news at 2 PM, I'm Ivana Terzić, here's
00:00:22a recap of today's
00:00:24top stories.
00:00:28The Republican Election Commission has announced the European Serbia election list
00:00:31Marinika Tepić, Zdravko Ponoš for the upcoming extraordinary
00:00:35parliamentary elections on October 25th. The campaign is
00:00:38accelerating.
00:00:42At 60 locations in Belgrade, the "Not Bitef" festival begins, a
00:00:46self-organized festival of the Artistic Community under the slogan "Bitef is
00:00:49where we
00:00:50gather".
00:00:54In the largest attack on Moscow since the beginning of the war, two
00:00:57people have died, victims of a Russian strike on the Kyiv
00:01:00region.
00:01:09The Republic Election Commission has announced the election list
00:01:12"European Serbia, Marinika Tepić, Zdravko Ponoš" for the upcoming
00:01:16extraordinary parliamentary elections on October 25th.
00:01:19The coalition list, which consists of the Coalition of the Party of Freedom and Justice, Serbia Center
00:01:23and the Civic Movement Solidarity, has a total of
00:01:26246 candidates for deputies in
00:01:30the Serbian Assembly and has submitted 10,020
00:01:3210.020
00:01:34signatures to RIK. As stated at the session, two candidates were
00:01:38withdrawn from the list immediately before its beginning, at
00:01:42positions 78 and
00:01:43248 on the
00:01:47list. The "European Serbia" coalition, consisting of the Party
00:01:50of Freedom and Justice, Serbia Center and the Civic
00:01:54Movement Solidarity, is now officially entering the campaign.
00:01:57SSP Vice-President Marinika Tepić says that the priority
00:02:00is the continuation of European integration, the return of the rule of law,
00:02:04and a ruthless crackdown on corruption and crime. Dragan Đilas states that the
00:02:08best way to achieve a change in the current government is for as many
00:02:11people as possible to vote in the elections on October 25th, and believes that a larger number
00:02:15of options contributes most to this, and that three opposition lists are key to victory.
00:02:19However, SSP officials Borko Stefanović, Jelena Milošević,
00:02:22Vladimir Vrsajkov and Goran Petrović, as well as
00:02:25Teodora Mitrović and Mila Popović, believe that it is a better choice to support
00:02:29the student list, as do members of the presidency of the Serbia Centre
00:02:32party, Slobodan Petrović and Boško Šindić, who have withdrawn from
00:02:35the list. "This happens in politics," they say from European
00:02:39Serbia.
00:02:40Srbije.
00:02:48As part of the pre-election campaign, a ten-day
00:02:51cycling tour is underway, in which two teams visit different parts of the
00:02:55country and talk to citizens, promoting
00:02:58the student list "Students Win" and its plan ahead of the
00:03:02extraordinary parliamentary elections on October 25th.
00:03:05The cycling tour, called "Guardians of the Constitution," started on September
00:03:0917th from Belgrade, when two teams, carrying copies of the Constitution,
00:03:12set off for different parts of Serbia. Today, one
00:03:16team from Užice should reach Kraljevo, and the other from
00:03:19Kikinda to Subotica. And this is what the reception looked like last night
00:03:23in
00:03:23Užice.
00:03:33The President of the National Assembly in her technical
00:03:36mandate, Ana Brnabić, said that this format
00:03:40of campaign suggests that you view politics as a
00:03:43game. How do you respond?
00:03:46Well, I, I honestly think this is actually something completely different. We are taking
00:03:49this very seriously, and we have taken it too seriously, just to
00:03:53show our emotion, how many
00:03:56really good and honest people are with us. Well, I think it's enough just
00:04:00to say that 29 citizens who live in this city could not
00:04:03pass through the city square and the main street tonight, and
00:04:07of course, everyone, everyone is welcome to come and support our colleagues. The student
00:04:11list will
00:04:13return all those institutions that were stolen from the people
00:04:17to the
00:04:18people.
00:04:21Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, the holder and first on the list
00:04:25of the Serbian Progressive Party, reiterated
00:04:28this morning that if he becomes
00:04:30prime minister, the government will have 12 ministers, adding that he will
00:04:33do everything he can to replace at least 50% of mayors and
00:04:37municipal presidents in Serbia within three months of the government's formation,
00:04:40because, he says, they did not want to listen to the citizens but thought of themselves. He
00:04:44repeats that he will resign on September
00:04:4727th. He still has things he says he must take out
00:04:51of the presidency because he wants the future acting
00:04:54president of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, to find an empty
00:04:58office so she can immediately take office when he resigns
00:05:02on September 27th.
00:05:05septembra.
00:05:08The President of the Socialist Party of Serbia, the list holder "Factor
00:05:11of Stability," Ivica Dačić, stated that his party traditionally
00:05:14transmits its political values from generation to generation
00:05:18to future young socialists, and that its
00:05:21idea has endured all these years like the flame of an eternal
00:05:25fire. "The Socialist Party of Serbia is like the burning
00:05:28bush in the Bible that burns but is not consumed.
00:05:32We leave the flame for future generations of socialists, both male and
00:05:35female," Dačić said. Presenting younger
00:05:38members of the party, he stated that the SPS is also the party of the future.
00:05:46And the new DSS today sends a message that it is against the recognition
00:05:50of same-sex marriages. The President of the new DSS, Miloš Jovanović,
00:05:53states that Serbia's entry into the European Union implies the recognition
00:05:57of same-sex marriages, adding that for the authentic
00:06:00right-wing coalition, of which he is the leader in the elections,
00:06:04such a thing is unacceptable. He pointed out that the Serbian
00:06:07Constitution defines marriage as a union of a man and a woman,
00:06:10and only a man and a woman.
00:06:21time. At 60 locations in Belgrade, "Not Bitef" began,
00:06:25a self-organized festival of the artistic community under the slogan "Bitef is
00:06:28where we gather," in protest against the pressures
00:06:32from the authorities to which the Belgrade International Theater
00:06:35Festival is exposed. Our reporter Tamara Ognjanović is following
00:06:39this festival, and Tamara, why are the deputies
00:06:43protesting?
00:06:48Well, because for the second year in a row, as they
00:06:51believe, the official Bitef, the institutional one, has been hijacked, and
00:06:55that's why they organized this year, albeit in
00:06:58a different way, since this year marks the 60th anniversary
00:07:02of Bitef, they wanted to remind people of that
00:07:05fact, so symbolically this year Not Bitef
00:07:09is held at 60 locations, 60 small
00:07:13stages across the city, in which several
00:07:16dozens, or actually over 100 artists participate, not only domestic
00:07:20ones, not only theater artists, but artists from the region, from
00:07:24the world. Some of the participants who refused
00:07:27to participate in the official or institutional
00:07:31Bitef, are coming to
00:07:34Not Bitef to offer support, solidarity,
00:07:37to show solidarity with domestic Serbian artists
00:07:41who are here... exposed to repression
00:07:44and censorship. Some artists from the world and the region will also participate
00:07:48online in this edition of Not Bitef.
00:07:50Also participating are last
00:07:54year's, or rather, not last year's, but former previous
00:07:58directors and selectors, people who in previous
00:08:01years have worked on Bitef. Some programs will
00:08:05include students, and one of
00:08:08the programs also includes tours. Actor
00:08:11Miloš Timotijević will, for example, lead a
00:08:14tour past occupied cultural institutions, starting from
00:08:18the Museum of Yugoslavia, passing by CKC and ending, passing by
00:08:22the National Theater and ending at Atelje
00:08:26212. About
00:08:28what is happening today at Nebitef,
00:08:32I am talking with Nikita Milivojević, director and
00:08:35previous or past, former selector,
00:08:38artistic, one of the selectors. Tell
00:08:41us, we are now in Cetinska Street, here several
00:08:44venues have organized several micro-scenes,
00:08:48and you are on one of them. What will your program be? Well,
00:08:52my program is actually underway, my guest is
00:08:56Milo Rau. By some strange coincidence, our
00:08:59paths are crossing, you know, it all started with Milo Rau's famous
00:09:03speech at the opening two
00:09:06years ago, so it was natural for me to invite him to be
00:09:09a guest. Uh,
00:09:12what I think is interesting at this moment is
00:09:16actually the fact that
00:09:19at 60 places in this city something fantastic is happening,
00:09:22something simply
00:09:25unforgettable, because if Bitef really needs
00:09:28to celebrate its 60th anniversary in some way, then
00:09:32this is, it seems to me, the right way. Perhaps in that sense we should
00:09:36thank the other Bitef for helping us to organize ourselves
00:09:39like this, because who knows how we would have united otherwise.
00:09:43is uh Milo Rau is truly one
00:09:47of the most interesting, let's say
00:09:51the most interesting current theater people
00:09:54who create
00:09:57today, and what seemed interesting
00:10:00to me was to show a part of his work about which we know
00:10:04almost nothing. We know his plays, but he has made
00:10:07about ten documentary, documentary-fiction
00:10:10films in which, in a similar way, he
00:10:14explores all those burning issues around the world
00:10:18and creates an incredibly interesting
00:10:21combination of documentary and fiction material and things.
00:10:25It seemed to me it was much more interesting to watch a film in a cinema than a filmed
00:10:28theater play, but he is certainly one
00:10:32of those interlocutors with whom it is always very, very
00:10:35interesting to talk because he
00:10:39simply has incredible energy, travels a lot, works a lot,
00:10:42brings interesting ideas from all over the world, you know, and
00:10:46watching these films now, we have a lot
00:10:49of viewers here, I'm interested to see how they
00:10:51will react, but I think we can easily recognize
00:10:56some of the problems with which we here
00:10:59today have met, so that's why we organized
00:11:03ourselves like this. It's simply incredible how from
00:11:06Italy or from Congo, from
00:11:09Brazil you easily recognize your
00:11:11problem, so here's another reason for him to be here.
00:11:15I also came for just one day and it seemed
00:11:18to me that I had a strong reason to come because tomorrow I'm returning to
00:11:22rehearsals in Sweden, but this
00:11:25deserves for Bitef, for Belgrade
00:11:28to defend its Bitef, for Bitef to be what it should
00:11:32be, and I think it is now returning
00:11:34in the right way to what it was, how
00:11:38it was conceived, actually. So
00:11:41here are many of your colleagues, as you said, Milo Rau, one of
00:11:45the greatest theater directors
00:11:48of today, has come for a short visit, many artists have come
00:11:51from all over the world. What does that tell you, what does
00:11:55the great involvement of domestic artists tell you, not only theater
00:11:58workers, there are also many curators and cultural managers and fine artists and
00:12:02dancers. Do
00:12:05you agree with Anja Suša's assessment or
00:12:09impression that today the whole city lives
00:12:12Bitef? Well, yes, that's what I meant when I said that such
00:12:16a Bitef deserves 60 years of its
00:12:18existence, because,
00:12:22how can I say, to gather all these people in one place, that is such
00:12:25a gift to Bitef, to the real
00:12:27Bitef, and such a recognition of everything for
00:12:31which it has somehow fought all these years and how
00:12:34it has been achieved. That is recognized,
00:12:38people in the world know that. I mean, you can't
00:12:41endlessly hide things and create some
00:12:45parallel reality and think that it can function
00:12:48just like what was created for 60
00:12:51years. So I'm
00:12:55endlessly glad that I'm even a part of this whole
00:12:58mosaic which I think is writing, in a way, not
00:13:02to be pathetic, but writing the history
00:13:05of Bitef in a new way. Thank you very much for speaking to
00:13:09N1. So the programs are ongoing and will last until
00:13:126 PM. After that, the final event will take place from 7 PM
00:13:15at the Center for Cultural Decontamination, where all of today's
00:13:19participants will take part. The
00:13:22artists participating in today's program
00:13:25invite citizens to take the opportunity and visit
00:13:28one of the 60 locations where today's
00:13:32"Not Bitef"
00:13:33is taking place.
00:13:37Thank you, Tamara. You heard N1 reporter Tamara
00:13:40Ognjanović.
00:13:45Four children and a driver were injured in a traffic accident that occurred
00:13:49on the Mojkovac-Kolašin main road, involving a bus that
00:13:52was transporting students of a
00:13:56primary school in Podgorica. The Montenegrin police unofficially
00:13:59stated that the traffic accident occurred last night when
00:14:03a rockslide happened, which the driver tried to avoid, and
00:14:07hit a rock along the right edge of the roadway. The bus
00:14:10driver, a Serbian citizen who has a temporary residence and
00:14:14work permit in Montenegro, was arrested on suspicion of committing a criminal offense
00:14:18of a serious offense against public
00:14:20traffic safety.
00:14:30World. Ukraine has carried out its largest drone attack on the Russian
00:14:34capital since the beginning of the war. At least two people
00:14:37were killed and six were injured in the attack. The Mayor
00:14:40of Moscow said that several drones reached the Moscow oil refinery,
00:14:44and that one hit a residential building. The head
00:14:48of the Moscow region stated that two people died and 400
00:14:51people were evacuated from a residential building. A large number
00:14:55of houses were damaged. In a Russian drone attack on Kyiv, a private
00:14:59house was hit, and a woman and her two children
00:15:02died in the attack.
00:15:06Russians are voting today on the third and final day of parliamentary elections,
00:15:10which are widely seen as a test of public support for President
00:15:13Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. The elections are being held for the first time
00:15:17in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia
00:15:21regions, i.e., in the territories of Ukraine that Moscow
00:15:24declared part of Russia in 2022. Voting in these regions
00:15:27began back at the end of August, citing security reasons.
00:15:31The ruling United Russia is expected
00:15:34to retain its dominance in the State Duma. These
00:15:37are the first parliamentary elections since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in
00:15:41February 2022, and critics say that
00:15:44the political system in Russia leaves little room for
00:15:48dissent. President Vladimir Putin, in a televised
00:15:51address to the nation before the elections, said that the vote would confirm support
00:15:55for Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine. Voters can cast their ballots
00:15:58at polling stations or electronically.
00:16:02elektronskim
00:16:03Firstly, I had
00:16:06obligations during the previous voting days. Secondly,
00:16:10I was afraid of falsification, so I deliberately
00:16:13came to vote on the last day. Every electronic form of voting
00:16:16allows for falsification. There is such a possibility. When it comes to paper,
00:16:20it's not easy to change.
00:16:24I always vote. I came to fulfill my duty to the homeland, so to
00:16:27speak. I think things are not bad as they are, but we always
00:16:31hope for the better.
00:16:34And citizens of two German federal states are going to the polls today,
00:16:37just two weeks after the far-right
00:16:41Alternative for Germany party achieved a convincing
00:16:44victory in Saxony-Anhalt. Elections in the city-state
00:16:47of Berlin and the northeastern state
00:16:50of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are the latest in a series of five
00:16:54state elections this year, which have exposed widespread
00:16:57public dissatisfaction with Merz's coalition government
00:17:00and sparked serious debate about the chancellor's
00:17:04future. Voting in both states began this morning at 8
00:17:07AM, and the first unofficial results are expected immediately after the closing
00:17:11of the polls at 6
00:17:12PM.
00:17:17I think it's important to think about the future of the country. Such questions ensure
00:17:21the future of everyone in this state and in the country as a whole. That's really
00:17:25important to me. I know different parties interpret that in different
00:17:28ways. The state needs jobs, good
00:17:31salaries, free daycare for small children. I actually don't
00:17:35agree with that, because I always think that it comes
00:17:37from the time of the GDR, when everything was free, it was never really
00:17:41that good, and I have a lot of experience with children
00:17:45who don't show up or don't cancel their
00:17:47spot.

00:25:39It's a new day, and our topic for the morning is that it seems not
00:25:43all election contenders have officially started campaigning,
00:25:46but most of those who have started it joyfully, with song and
00:25:50dance.
00:25:54The leader of the United Serbia list and the first on it is
00:25:57still the President of Serbia, but today, for the first time, he says on his
00:26:01Instagram account: He is his own master, in the role of
00:26:04chauffeur and popular tribune at the same time, from early
00:26:08morning on his way to Smederevo, he opens
00:26:10his soul, I will sing. There is also
00:26:14a cry.
00:26:16plać,
00:26:22As if he were
00:26:23there.
00:26:27only
00:26:36president I know at Lake Šalinac near
00:26:39Smederevo is still an ordinary man with
00:26:42a fishing license, but as he says, without
00:26:46a talent for fishing. It has to go up more.
00:26:50Yes, it can, it can. And what are we actually doing now? We are
00:26:53fishing, looking to see if a chub or a
00:26:56zander will bite. I don't understand fishing.
00:26:59This, perhaps, he understands.
00:27:04in preparation, but in eating, which I
00:27:05understand.
00:27:09Whoever today doesn't understand how President Vučić is an ordinary and
00:27:13emotional man, never will. To that end,
00:27:16a video of him petting a dog, and with appropriate
00:27:19music, on Instagram, Vučić writes, "How harshly it sounds
00:27:23when you say 'stray dog', but behind it all is
00:27:26a being with a wondrous soul and a huge heart." Let's give it
00:27:30a name if it's already a stray. It came to us two days ago.
00:27:34How about we call it Žanka?
00:27:37Yes, I'm honored.
00:27:49It is human for Rasim to play, as the first on the eponymous
00:27:53list, Rasim Ljajić, humanly enters the campaign
00:27:56with a traditional dance, but humanly, in front of a full hall
00:27:59of Pendik in Novi Pazar, he admits that the party he
00:28:03leads does not fight to win, but to
00:28:06decide who will win. And remember,
00:28:09there will be no government without us. There will be
00:28:13no government; you will call us to talk, you will call us to
00:28:16discuss,
00:28:18because we will win so much that no one will have a majority without
00:28:22us. The leader of the authentic right-wing list, Miloš
00:28:26Jovanović, currently without an authentic campaign, does not
00:28:29sing, does not fish, does not dance the kolo. He maintains
00:28:33an old-school approach and sends a sharp political message: The European Union demands
00:28:37that we renounce Kosovo and Metohija, demands that we impose
00:28:40sanctions on Russia, and since the death of General Mladić, we know that it demands that we
00:28:43mingle with ashes and accept their lie that genocide was committed in Srebrenica,
00:28:47that Ratko Mladić is a criminal. That is why the authentic
00:28:50right wing clearly states cooperation with the European Union
00:28:54yes, but membership no. "No" is
00:28:57a call, explains Jovanović, for Serbia's policy towards the European
00:29:00Union to be redefined. Maja Nikolić 11,
00:29:04Belgrade.
00:29:06And this story was an introduction to a discussion about campaign
00:29:09strategies for students, opposition, and government. With
00:29:13electoral campaign consultant Ana Stojiljković, who is our guest. Good
00:29:16morning, and thank you for being here. Good morning.
00:29:20And let's start with what we saw.
00:29:23The campaigns of the Serbian Progressive Party, or rather, of the President, still
00:29:26President Aleksandar Vučić. You said
00:29:30in an interview the other day, to the question of whether the SNS is even
00:29:34in a campaign, which people were asking, like why isn't that campaign
00:29:37more visible, uh, that they actually are in a campaign
00:29:41through some of their channels. Uh, now, what are
00:29:45those channels, and what is the goal
00:29:48of the SNS's communication currently, with the new elections? Well, I
00:29:52think, first, that we, uh, now as this
00:29:56so-called opposition public, uh,
00:29:59view it a bit differently now because for the first time, the SNS is entering
00:30:02the campaign without that aura of invincibility,
00:30:06omnipotence, absolute control over everything. This is the first time
00:30:10we see them in a somewhat different atmosphere,
00:30:14a somewhat different, I mean, a somewhat different role. They
00:30:16still, even though the whole
00:30:20situation has changed, even though these are the first elections where
00:30:23they practically have a competitor
00:30:25who, uh, as far as ratings are concerned, has
00:30:28very much approached them, if not equaled them, in
00:30:32some moments. Uh, they are still using, for
00:30:36now, what we've seen are some old tricks, uh,
00:30:39which now no longer seem so
00:30:43omnipotent and so effective in solving
00:30:45the whole situation, already in advance
00:30:49and before the campaign, so now we are actually entering an
00:30:52uncertain campaign. On the other hand, we also have students who
00:30:56are largely hiding their strategy; they haven't shown it.
