00:00:00no, I cannot explain, I need
00:00:04the name, that dam was not needed, it
00:00:07shouldn't have been
00:00:09here,
00:00:11we could have used that water
00:00:14without
00:00:16a dam, as it is still used today, here, now all
00:00:20those municipalities have the same water
00:00:24here, well, I know
00:00:27many who worked on... on that project
00:00:31up there, who claim
00:00:35that if they had done those investigations,
00:00:38that dam would never have been in that
00:00:41place,
00:00:43because they did some part of the job and
00:00:46what do I know, they drilled all sorts of boreholes
00:00:49and and this, and they
00:00:53stumbled upon some caves. I
00:00:56also worked on the drill when I started working up there.
00:01:00And this, I also drew the attention of my
00:01:03bosses to the fact that when I
00:01:06drill for some anchors, my drill bit goes down
00:01:103-4 meters, meaning I hit some cave, I hit something,
00:01:14as long as there's nothing to drill the Svračkovo dam
00:01:17and the Sačkovo accumulation are being built
00:01:20on a limestone terrain prone to crises. The dam will be
00:01:2468 meters high. The dam is
00:01:27located in a gorge 7 km upstream
00:01:30from Arilje, meaning 7 km upstream in
00:01:33the gorge. That gorge leads
00:01:36into a basin where the town of Arilje is located.
00:01:40Now there are those who are opportunistic, who claim
00:01:43that if the dam breaks, a 70m dam
00:01:47if it broke,
00:01:51there would be no Požega, no Arilje, no
00:01:54Lučani.
00:01:57That's it. Just if you climb up to... the cliffs above
00:02:01the transparent river, and you pass the hills of places that
00:02:04are renewed by air and water,
00:02:07you will see nature that many have not
00:02:11recognized. One of the most beautiful places in Serbia, a river
00:02:15that awakens some emotions, thoughts in everyone. It is enough
00:02:19just to sit by it, in silence, no music
00:02:22is needed, because here music is created by birds,
00:02:25otters, fish that swim in this
00:02:27river,
00:02:30"We shouldn't be selfish and keep to ourselves, but
00:02:33leave it for some new generations, so they can sit
00:02:37by that river, learn something, hear themselves, their thoughts in this
00:02:41noise that is getting louder around us, and
00:02:44I think that for for
00:02:46raspberries, everything has
00:02:50an impact, that clean water, everything
00:02:53has, that's it here now.
00:02:56And besides that raspberry, the neighbor is involved in it. And
00:03:00growing cabbage in that field below, he watered it
00:03:03with with with Rzav water, pure
00:03:07extra quality, extra quality. People from Morava
00:03:11also had it, and they also
00:03:13watered it, it wasn't good, meaning
00:03:17for me, clean water, clean
00:03:20nature, that's it. That's not a postcard
00:03:24with greetings and good wishes, nor
00:03:27is it a path of wide roads crammed with huge buildings
00:03:31with glittering advertisements. This is
00:03:34that luxury that every thoughtful
00:03:37person who knows what the essence actually is, craves. A picture
00:03:40of the life of those people who do not allow the crazy
00:03:43world to transform and destroy
00:03:46meaning. To put it anywhere, people
00:03:50no longer look for those places to come and have
00:03:53coffee, to go further, but they want to come, leave
00:03:56their car, and continue on some path, some... that is
00:04:00half-overgrown, to reach some place, discover something
00:04:04new, have their peace and quiet, and so on. That's what people are looking for, it's
00:04:07no longer about building a good local cafe to
00:04:11drink coffee or some viewpoint with a great
00:04:14view, but rather some
00:04:17environment that is untouched, that
00:04:21preserves everything that has passed, grown, and so on for centuries.
00:04:25A modest activist camp, Rzav
00:04:28calls you, enthusiasts. Naturalists,
00:04:31Rzav people, and all those who want to preserve everything
00:04:35mentioned related to the gifts of Rzav and nature in one
00:04:39place, by the river, along the river, on the paths and
00:04:42ravines, where large birds with wide wings
00:04:46are slowly returning, surveying the territory
00:04:49of their ancestors. For us, Rzav
00:04:52bit of ham, is, they say that small towns, small nations always have an
00:04:55anchor that holds them, something that defines them. For Arilje, I would
00:04:59say that we have two sanctuaries: one is the Arilje church of Saint
00:05:02Achillius and one is the river Rzav, raspberries,
00:05:05cotton, cotton products, actually other cities have those, but they don't have
00:05:09such a river and such a church, there aren't many cities and...
00:05:12Even, if I can make a comparison, not to be misunderstood as
00:05:15some kind of devoutness, Arilje church was indeed created by
00:05:19divine providence, but it is still the work of human hands, the work of man. This
00:05:22here, this river, that is the work of the Creator, that is God's
00:05:26work. Marko has traveled the world, mostly
00:05:29mountains, waters and forests, and he knows how
00:05:32to recognize them. I just came back from South
00:05:36America three weeks ago after a month and I can't say that
00:05:40I had a morning here while drinking coffee
00:05:43by this river and thinking about all that we have, the conclusion
00:05:47is a lot of it. We don't need to go thousands
00:05:50of kilometers away, we have such parts very close to the city or wherever
00:05:54we live, such nature that is unique and
00:05:58we must try to preserve it
00:06:01purely because in order
00:06:04to make ourselves aware again, those generations that are just
00:06:08arriving, does it have a price? It has no
00:06:11price, that's why we are all... here, because here, here we all
00:06:14come just for socializing, for enjoyment and
00:06:18for that future. It's not a matter of price, no, there is no price
00:06:21for this. In one place, youth, experience,
00:06:25old people in their good years who know
00:06:28the paths of the region, drawn for a healthy life,
00:06:32even from ancient times and this
00:06:35beauty and this beauty
00:06:37of mine, well, you didn't tell me, I poured
00:06:41water on my boots. Let me see, but I don't see
00:06:44any here, maybe they got
00:06:46scared. No, I
00:06:49don't see any.
00:06:53Trout, brown trout. 20 years ago you couldn't
00:06:56cross it without stepping on fish. Now it's much poorer,
00:07:00trout was the main one, gudgeon, we call it gudgeon, brown barbel,
00:07:03chub, it used to have small and large barbel, now
00:07:07it doesn't. Crayfish, now some are starting to appear.
00:07:10"The path was on that side
00:07:14and I always came
00:07:18on foot from that side, the path
00:07:21to come
00:07:22here.
00:07:28Those are just memories,
00:07:32you understand me, if it's not a memory, then what kind of
00:07:36life has a man lived?
00:07:39A memory is one thing, and life is
00:07:42one thing. There are no two
00:07:46lives.
00:07:49One memory and one
00:07:52life, and it must be
00:07:55respected.
00:07:57Life must be dedicated to
00:08:01children.
00:08:04Kristina is at higher education,
00:08:08with a group of students in an activist
00:08:10camp, I think that...
00:08:12"actually now in people that moment is awakening that should exist, where people try
00:08:16to connect with their essence, which is
00:08:20nature, and return to it. So I think that this is precisely one of those steps
00:08:24that need to be taken. And
00:08:28now, uh, all of this gives me hope
00:08:32and it seems to me that people also have hope.
00:08:35It doesn't seem to me, even though in a way that young momentum in
00:08:39Serbia has died out, where young people leave, which is undeniable.
00:08:43But it still seems to me that all of that, uh, that people
00:08:46are working on it in the sense of, uh, no one
00:08:50dreams of going to live in the city anymore. Uh, now
00:08:53it's quite the opposite. People are returning and looking to
00:08:57do something they can do from nature, from such an environment. In
00:09:01Serbia, places like Arilje and any places
00:09:04that are connected to nature, rich in nature, offer much more
00:09:07than a metropolis or
00:09:11or. or some, I would say, more urban
00:09:14environment. So, I think that everything is going its course and perhaps
00:09:18such a strategy doesn't need to exist because everything is already moving
00:09:21in the right direction. So, I think
00:09:25again, perhaps there is no recipe, but all
00:09:29that young people are doing and how they act according to their
00:09:32youthful nature, I think all of that truly goes in
00:09:36the service of preserving youth in a rural Serbia
00:09:39which truly has nature that should be... utilized.
00:09:43And just by the river, there were two experienced cooks,
00:09:46and everyone could not only refresh themselves but also
00:09:50replenish their energy thanks to the water from
00:09:53Rzav, the one that gave taste and strength
00:09:56to everyone and everything. Beans with
00:10:00dried ribs, a little bit of bacon, a little
00:10:05and our product from here. And this, what is this? This is dry
00:10:08cold, what I would call a roux, a cold roux. Let's... let
00:10:12those who don't know hear now.
00:10:14Flour, a little bit of red
00:10:18paprika, a little bit of hot if there is any, but we won't because there are children, we don't put
00:10:22hot. Water for... mix
00:10:26it and when the beans are done add
00:10:30that's it. The man says here you breathe with full lungs. Here, I inhaled for the first time.
00:10:33Yes, yes, but you breathe with full lungs, there's no
00:10:37pollution, no factories, no
00:10:40some
00:10:42polluting the air. How can I explain it to you? It's poorly
00:10:46sown, there's no fertilizer or those artificial ones. And who knows better
00:10:50than me here, I live down in the city.
00:10:53So, there you go. "People today talk, you should
00:10:57eat this, you should eat that, all sorts of things. A person spent a lot
00:11:01of time searching for what they should eat today.
00:11:04Since you are this chef and you cook everywhere, you told
00:11:07me, uh, what is good for a healthy life, actually?
00:11:11What should you eat? What should you? You eat beans,
00:11:15cabbage, boiled wedding cabbage, a little
00:11:18prosciutto, a little bacon, garlic, onion
00:11:21and cheese, and how far
00:11:24To a hundred, but by the Rzav, by the Rzav.
00:11:28That's right. I'm from here by birth, I'm here, I used to
00:11:31jump into the water from these rocks, I used to swim.
00:11:35Otherwise, this river, I think there's none more beautiful in
00:11:38Serbia. A well-thought-out story,
00:11:41lectures, hiking, getting to know nature with
00:11:44an experienced guide, educational film screenings,
00:11:47a night by the fire with people longing
00:11:51for a breath by the ancient river. We can
00:11:54make... that Latin saying a little different,
00:11:57I came, I saw, I stayed. Yes, that would definitely be
00:12:01a better option. I observed all these people who
00:12:04wake up, the river that shapes and calls,
00:12:07landscapes that live even when the snow falls,
00:12:11far from urban areas, a
00:12:14building that, after completion, could change
00:12:17everything, just like many similar ones that submerged
00:12:21and changed both nature and history and people.
00:12:25"In principle, we are engaged in the destruction of anything in
00:12:28nature for money. That is, I will give you the information
00:12:32that, for example, in European Union countries, which have about 450 million
00:12:36inhabitants, not a single large dam for water supply has been built in the last 10
00:12:39years, because they understood something that we
00:12:43obviously didn't, that Rzav is not only in Europe, in Serbia, but in
00:12:47Europe, one of the wildest rivers, not only the cleanest, but also
00:12:51the wildest. Is a dam, conceived long ago,
00:12:54started again,
00:12:57upgraded, a trigger for a sincere touch
00:13:00of people with the bountiful world that was there
00:13:04beside all of us for so long? That
00:13:07is a scar, a scar on the face of nature,
00:13:11uh, which I don't know how we can remove.
00:13:14I mean, we can stop its spread, but
00:13:17complete removal, probably never.
00:13:21I'm really sorry, because we have such nature, such a...
00:13:25river, which, I repeat, doesn't exist, this doesn't exist in Serbia
00:13:28so much, one or two rivers in our entire country. Someone is
00:13:32ready for some gain, something that we cannot clearly
00:13:36define, but we can clearly sense. Someone is ready to destroy it, to
00:13:39turn an entire region into a region
00:13:43that has nothing else to be recognized by, because if
00:13:46the Rzav suffers, then agriculture will also suffer
00:13:50and generally and raspberries, the microclimate will change.
00:13:53Hmm, the question is what will
00:13:56happen with that stability. What, of course, worries us as
00:14:00Arilje residents, that needs to be known and that needs to be clearly
00:14:04explained to people, it's a whole ecosystem. We're not just talking about
00:14:07the river here, that's the thing. People constantly think about the river as
00:14:10just a river, and then when we go into that river, what all lives
00:14:14in that river, that's one thing, and then what all is around it, starting
00:14:18from birds, those insects, it's a whole
00:14:21ecosystem that we don't see. So, a disaster
00:14:25will happen if that is done. I mean, it's not, it's
00:14:28not at all about drinking water, whether people will be able
00:14:32to swim here in the summer or not, that's the smallest
00:14:35problem. It's about the overall what will happen,
00:14:39no one, neither scientists nor those who make
00:14:43those projects can predict the consequences of those
00:14:46moves, unfortunately. This will end with our children
00:14:50having to win. If we don't manage to win
00:14:53in the name of our... children, then our
00:14:56children will win in the name of us who didn't
00:14:59fight. There's no other way. We
00:15:03must live with nature because we are part
00:15:06of nature. Big capital
00:15:09should look for other paths, other
00:15:12solutions. Why would anyone leave Rzav,
00:15:16the heritage of centuries of a small town and fortresses that were
00:15:20guardians of life? In the 10th century, the place was called
00:15:23Moravica, but every... if it was significantly older,
00:15:26it is recorded that refugees from Larisa, Greece
00:15:30brought the relics of Saint Achilles, after whom the city
00:15:33was named Arilje. In 1219,
00:15:37during the Nemanjić era, the Arilje monastery was the center of the Morava
00:15:41Eparchy. Rzav has, despite everything
00:15:44that came with various storms, remained
00:15:47clean. I have experience, Rzav truly
00:15:51heals.
00:15:53Rzav heals, in it we have two spas,
00:15:57Visočka Roška. I
00:16:00had, I injured my leg and
00:16:02this, Rzav healed me.
00:16:06And thank you.
00:16:33It's always the most important thing, the light
00:16:35of day.
00:17:01In the new issue of Radar, Miodrag Jovanović talks about elections going in the direction of a referendum
00:17:05atmosphere, electoral list cards.
00:17:07They're cheating, what sprung up from the ashes, palaces on the ashes, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in a
00:17:11diplomatic clinch, Mladić, a risky electoral platform, where does the
00:17:15money from the budget disappear to, asphalt more important than
00:17:16pensioners.
00:17:21The procedure for protecting the economy in Serbia takes an average of
00:17:25about nine years.
00:17:28The material aspect, even after the declaration,
00:17:32represents a significant
00:17:35item.
00:17:38According to the Protected Planet website, we are
00:17:41in 39th place out of 40 European
00:17:44countries.
00:17:48It is extremely important to protect due to the diversity of flora and
00:17:51fauna located within those protected areas.

00:30:19Good afternoon, N1 info begins, I am Tanja Veselinović, these are the most important
00:30:23news.

00:30:53In the biggest attack on Moscow since the beginning of the war, two people
00:30:57died, victims in the Russian strike.
