COMMENT SNJEŽANE PAVIĆ
It shames itself and the citizens it represents. What stabbed him so badly that he was unable to compose himself?
One can no longer speak of a peculiar expression, nor of an accidental, isolated outburst. Thus it is not communicated under any circumstances

He is the president of the state. Why is he behaving like that? The whole country is tensely following a mystery called Zoran Milanovic . What is happening to the President of Croatia, that he was stabbed so severely that he is unable to gather and control himself, but day by day astonishes the public with a new scandalous outburst?
Since it was revealed that even at the time of strict epidemiological measures, when all cafes and restaurants had to be closed, he went to the suspicious club of the arrested boss Janaf Dragan Kovacevic "because there was a lot of food to be thrown away", Zoran Milanovic is digging deeper.
That Milanović did not accidentally end up in that hole in Slovenia is shown by his last outburst, which deepened the bottom of the bottom on which he is crawling a little more. The way in which the President spoke about Dalija Orešković and Marijana Puljak , about two MPs who dared to publicly criticize him, is, in short, offensive to all women and men in this country.

CONDEMNATIONS FROM ALL SIDES
Reactions to Milanović's statements about MPs are pouring in, criticism is also coming from the SDP: Pure own goal!
'PROUD CRYERS'
Puljak and Orešković after the unprecedented attack of Milanović: 'Chauvinistic, vulgar and street-like!
We, the citizens of a member state of the European Union, in the first half of the 21st century, have a president who publicly shows that he despises women from the bottom of his soul, openly insults and belittles them, in a way you would not want to see or hear from anyone. He shames himself and all the citizens he represents. Zoran Milanović mocks the members of parliament that they were elected to positions only because there was no one better, he asks them from above what they have achieved in life. In such a tone that a man wishes to go to the Stone Gate and light a candle for the mental health of our only president.
Calling politicians, MPs, "self-satisfied mourners" is sexism because they are insulted and belittled on the basis of gender, condemned Milanovic's speech by Gender Equality Ombudsman Višnja Ljubičić : it is not an ordinary outing in a tram or on the road, as women experience every day, but with the highest state position, so the president's responsibility is all the greater.
One can no longer speak of a peculiar verbal expression, nor of an accidental, isolated outburst. No, this is not how you communicate under any circumstances. No, that is not a common part of the political game, when sharper blows are allowed. No, that’s not another outburst we need to get over.

She replied to Milanović: 'He is well ahead of Pernar, look at his last performance ...'
"It certainly does not serve the honor of one president," said the party's MP with her name and surname.

As a guest on the N1 television show Novi dan , Dalija Orešković , a member of the Party with the name and surname, did not want to comment on the statement of the President of the Republic of Croatia, Zoran Milanović, that she and MP Marijana Puljak were "self-satisfied".
As a reminder, Orešković and Puljak placed a plaque "Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia" on Dragan Kovačević's "Club" in Slovenska Street in Zagreb on Tuesday and stated that there were "two Croatians".
"In one, citizens must follow the rules. The other Croatia is the one for which laws and rules do not apply. In such a Croatia lives the President of the Republic, who during the lockdown could plan here in an illegal liquor station," said Puljak.

"If we talk about Pernar, he really tried to point out the key and serious problems of this society in an inappropriate way, unlike Milanovic who, as president of the state, tries to hide these key problems of this state in an extremely inappropriate way. So I ask you what is up?"
Oreskovic continued to compare Pernar and Milanovic. "And if we're talking about that funny, somewhat weird part of Mr. Pernar's way of expressing myself, I dare say that Zoran Milanovic has far outdone them. Just look at his last speech on Friday, in general, not to mention everything now, about King Kong , shot by handcuffs, lions, about unicorns that could be seen in the famous Club and three reptiles.It seems to me that Zoran Milanović surpassed everything Pernar ever said, and even that your colleagues from the News bar wrote him the script, hardly is to imagine such an imagination. It certainly does not serve the honor of a president, "she told N1 .
CHAOS ON CONFRONTATION
‘Will you shut up more, man!’: Look at the moment that marked the Biden and Trump debate
The two presidential candidates often spoke simultaneously while the moderator sought order

Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic opponent Joe Biden clashed fiercely over Trump’s corona crisis management, over the economy and taxes, in Tuesday’s first debate marked by Trump’s incessant incursions.
In a very chaotic presidential debate, Biden attacked Trump for the way he led the coronavirus crisis, saying the president panicked and failed to protect Americans while Trump defended his way.
"We did a great job. You would never do such a good job, it's not in your blood," Trump said.
Biden accused Trump of opening up the economy at the cost of covid victims, and Trump of Biden of wanting to close the country at the cost of the economy.
They also disagreed on the vaccine where Trump said it would take weeks for the vaccine to be ready and Biden that it would not be ready by the middle of next year.
Constant Trump incursions
Some of the thoughts of the two candidates were difficult to discern because both were falling into replicas, but Trump far surpassed Biden in that.
The two candidates often spoke simultaneously while the moderator asked for order.
Chris Wallace had to warn several times, especially the president. “Honestly, you’re more intrusive,” Wallace told Trump. “Please let the vice president speak,” he asked Trump.
And Biden asked the president at one point, "Will you shut up more, man."
Inflammatory Trump and the more moderate Biden debated a wide range of urgent political issues, including a coronavirus pandemic that killed 200,000 people in the U.S., protests against racial injustice, and the fight for the Supreme Court, but did not shy away from serious accusations.
“You are the worst president America has ever had,” Biden accused Trump, adding that it would be good for him to stop playing golf and get to work.
“I did more in 47 months than you did in 47 years,” Trump replied.
All according to epidemiological rules
The Republican president and his Democratic opponent did not shake hands when entering their first debate, which they held at a distance determined by epidemiological protocols.
The two candidates entered the stage at the same time and smiled at moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News who explained that they would not shake hands. He also said that the candidates were not given questions in advance and that he chose the topics.
A ninety-minute debate, the first of three scheduled, with a limited number of spectators and physical distance, was held at the University of Cleveland.
Organizers said there were about 80 people in the audience, including family members, campaign staff, health and safety officials and journalists.
Biden, 77, has a consistent advantage over Trump, 74, in opinion polls ahead of the Nov. 3 election.
Appointment to the Supreme Court
The first fifteen minutes of the debate, which began at 3 a.m. CET, were devoted to the appointment to the Supreme Court.
Trump on Saturday nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett as a Supreme Court judge, a position held until her death by Ruth Bader Ginsburg .

FIRST ECHOES OF THE DEBATE
'Shame, chaos, horror! The most horrible debate in history, as if they had a fight in an inn! '
TRUMP VS. BIDEN
A fiery duel like no other: They shouted at each other and accused each other, the host barely restrained them
Candidates for the Supreme Court must be confirmed by a majority in the Senate currently controlled by Republicans.
"We won the election. The election has consequences," Trump said, adding that the Senate has a Republican majority.
Trump once again praised the new possible judge, while Biden pledged that the Senate on her appointment would vote after the election.
Democrats are trying to postpone the decision and believe that the winner of the presidential election in November should decide on a lifelong appointment among nine members of the Supreme Court.
Biden did not answer the question whether he would support an increase in the number of judges in the Supreme Court if he won the election.
The debate shifted from the appointment to the Supreme Court to the issue of health insurance.
After Trump clarified the health proposal, Biden said, "He doesn't have a health plan. The fact is, this man doesn't know what he's talking about."
Shortly afterwards, he claimed, "Everyone knows he's a liar."
I paid millions in taxes
As part of the economics topic, the moderator asked Trump if the reports published by the New York Times on Sunday that he paid $ 750 in federal income tax in 2016 and 2017 were true.
“I paid millions of dollars” but I don’t want to pay taxes if I have losses, he said.
The NYT announced that Trump has not paid income tax for 10 years from the past 15 years, despite earning $ 427.4 million from his reality shows and other licensed projects in 2018.
Joe Biden released his tax returns for 2019 ahead of the debate on Tuesday. Documents released by the Democratic candidate for the White House on his website show that Biden and his wife paid $ 299,346 in federal taxes last year.
Asked if he thought he should be re-elected, Trump said no president has done more for the country than him.
"There has never been an administration that has done what I did," Trump said, mentioning, among other things, the economy and national unity.
He said Biden was a puppet of the radical left.
Racial discrimination and white supremacists
They also clashed over the issue of racial discrimination, where Biden accused Trump of being a racist and generating racial hatred.
Trump returned the ball saying Biden, when he was a senator, voted for a 1990s law that went to the detriment of African Americans.
Asked if he would condemn the white supremacists, Trump said, "Sure, I want to do it." But he did not condemn them. He then added that the worst violence in the country comes from the far left.
CBS poll: Most viewers of the debate are “annoyed,” thinking Biden won
According to a CBS poll following the U.S. presidential debate on Wednesday, most viewers felt the debate had a “negative” tone, with only 17 percent saying they felt positive vibes during the confrontation.
The poll found that 48 percent of people think Democratic candidate Joe Biden was better, and 41 percent think Donald Trump won the debate. Others think they are equal.
CBS notes that more people watching the debate supported Biden.
A total of 69 percent of those surveyed said they were "annoyed" by the Trump and Biden debate, and only 17 percent said the discussion "informed" them. Nearly 20 percent of people said she was pessimistic. (China)

BIG BROTHER AT WORK
Revolution or nightmare? The boss uses a special application to monitor his workers so that they do not slack off
‘You can steal an extra ten minutes of time here and there. That's why it's good to have automated supervision of workers'

Shibu Philip admits he knows what it’s like ‘maybe a little slacking off at work’, writes the BBC .
Shibu is the founder of Transcend - a small London-based company that buys cosmetic products in bulk and resells them online.
For the past year and a half, he has used the Hubstaff app to monitor how much time his employees spend working, how many times they press a key on the keyboard, how many they move the mouse, and which websites they visit.
His seven employees are in India and this software allows him to keep an eye on them and overcome the time difference.
'I know myself. You can steal an extra ten minutes of time here and there. That's why it's good to have automated supervision of workers, 'says Shibu.
‘Looking at the screenshots and paying attention to how long it takes someone to do a certain task, I know if employees follow the procedure. And if they work better than expected, I also study the photos and ask them to share their knowledge with others so we can all improve. '
Employees are fully aware that this software is in use and can erase the recorded time they spent on a website that may have accidentally stayed on during the break, Shibu explains.
House slackers
Now that more people than ever work from home, the demand for employee monitoring software is growing.
The American company Hubstaff says that the number of customers of their products has quadrupled annually since February.
Another company called Sneek offers technology that takes photos of users via their laptops and uploads them so others can see them.
Photos can be taken every few minutes, although the company describes itself as a communication platform and says that ‘all users of the platform have the same experience whether they are employees or employers’.
The company's co-founder, Del Currie , said the number of their customers had quadrupled during the lockdown and now numbered more than 20,000.
A recent study conducted by scientists from the University of Cardiff and Southampton found that the fear shared by all bosses is that workers will slack them, although there is no confirmation that lockdown has exacerbated the situation.
The survey also found that employees themselves think their productivity is lower when they work from home.
But is technology the answer and the solution for those lazy workers or for those who just have trouble adjusting to work at the kitchen table?
'I would feel bad if someone was watching me'
Photographer Josh, 26, from London, admits to the BBC that his lower productivity when working from home has fallen hard.

About half an hour after their arrival, they waited for their release from Remetinec after all the other formalities, such as the classic checks to see if he might be on an arrest warrant.
With a smile on her face, she walked towards the car, and before giving a statement to the media, she ran into her daughter’s arms.
- After 124 days in detention, the most important thing for me was to hug my child. This procedure is not secret, but the investigation is not public, so I cannot comment on anything. We will meet further through the process and you will find out more. I must say that I learned more details from you from the media - said Rimac, emphasizing that her moral duty was to seek dismissal from the Ministry as well as expulsion from the party after 24 years of membership.

She also said that none of her former colleagues and friends disappointed her.
- The most important thing is that family and true friends stay with you - said Rimac.

Josip Rimac's pre-trial detention was last extended on August 28, and although the investigating judge accepted Uskok's proposal to keep Josip Rimac "behind bars" for another two months due to the danger of influencing witnesses, the appeal was upheld and should be released on September 29.

Apart from Rimac, HDZ's Gracac chief Natasa Turbic , Agriculture Ministry cabinet secretary Ruzica Njavro , Sibenik businessman Ante Sladic and Knin city councilor Marinko Tokmacija were released in Remetinec earlier in the same case for influencing witnesses .

The President confirmed today that he went to Dragan Kovačević's now notorious club at least once during the lockdown. He explained this in the most bizarre way possible:
“Should I have been home for a month? Who am I allowed to be with for a month? It was during the lockdown and a friend from Dalmatia called me, there was a lot of food to throw away because he had no one to give it to. We met because it was more practical there. But that is a nonsensical topic ", said Zoran Milanović .

Ever since he uttered the above, quite seriously, this morning, people have not stopped making fun of the president. Twitter is full of more or less successful forums, some of which we have shared below.

Today, the President of the Republic of Croatia, Zoran Milanović, participated in the solemn session of the City Council of the City of Bjelovar on the occasion of the City Day and the Bjelovar Veterans Day. After the session, he gave a statement to the press, again commenting on the investigation in the Janaf case and socializing in Kovacevic's club.
- We went there two days after the earthquake. Ministers came there, it is known in what context, it is known in what context I ... I was there a long time ago, only once since I was president. But let’s not be distractions. Everyone can be questioned, including me, Milanovic said.
He believes that the topic of the club is completely irrelevant and calls not to erase what is a serious scandal.
- The Prime Minister must have known about the investigation and he knew. Let’s concentrate on the essentials, I’m no provocateur. Of course, the prime minister and the interior minister know about such things, the president said.

This is a cousin of Boras' wife. They gave him to run a university graduate center
Frano Hartman completed his nautical studies, rented boats and drove tourists on speedboats. And then he got a respectable job at the University
Dora Kršul DORA KRŠUL 08:07 1103 RECOMMENDATIONS 17 COMMENTS
LAST CHANGE: SEP 29, 2020
In October 2019, Telegram published a major research story entitled 'Rector Boras renovated luxury apartments in Dubrovnik with University money. He's spending the summer there now. '
As we detailed in that article, the University of Zagreb has for the last twenty years been the owner of an impressive building in the center of Dubrovnik, where international conferences are held regularly. However, after Damir Boras took over the position of rector , three apartments were arranged with public money in that building, which no one is allowed to enter without his consent. The former minister and eminent professor, a citizen of Dubrovnik who lives nearby and three independent sources, told Telegram last year that the rector comes there every summer privately, with his family.
HOW WAS HE ELECTED TO OFFICE?
In the meantime, however, we learned another interesting fact. Frano Hartman , the man who runs the Dubrovnik center of the University of Zagreb, has a family relationship with Rector Boras, and it is not clear from publicly available data what his references are for the position, as he is mostly involved in renting boats and transporting tourists.
Hartman's career rise in the Dubrovnik University Center begins during the first rector's term of Damir Boras. Thus, in 2017, in the Dubrovnik building, he became the director of the company Dormitorij, which the University founded to manage the dormitories and apartments in the building separately. At that time, he also held the position of expert advisor at the Postgraduate Center Dubrovnik, and at the end of last year, Hartman was elected in a public competition, no less, as the head of the entire Dubrovnik University Center. However, his work commitments would not be nearly as interesting if Hartman was not connected to the Boras family through his wife.
CONNECTION WITH THE BORAS FAMILY
As confirmed to Telegram by several mutually independent and well-informed sources, Frane Hartman's wife, Lana Kurtović Hartman , is the niece of Damir Boras' wife, Alena Aganović Boras . In short, the imposing Dubrovnik building is run by the husband of Mrs. Boras's niece.
Hartman is employed as the head of the Dubrovnik Postgraduate Center, which also includes the internationally renowned Interuniversity Center, following a competition from October last year. The competition required a person with a completed undergraduate or undergraduate university study and at least five years of work experience "in appropriate jobs".
TOURISTS PRAISE HIM FOR DRIVING THEM BEAUTIFULLY
Telegram tried on several occasions to contact Mr. Hartman, in order to present his side of the story, but he did not respond to our messages or inquiries. According to the Proceedings of the University of Dubrovnik, in 2000 he completed a four-year nautical study there, and it is not clear where he gathered "five years of experience in similar jobs", which was a condition of the competition for head of the Postgraduate Center Dubrovnik.

Publicly available data show that Hartman is also involved in entrepreneurship. Since 2012, he has been a member of the Management Board of Tendo doo for tourism, trade and travel agency services. The company is registered for the computer consulting business and generates revenues of between HRK 500,000 and 600,000 per year. As a procurator, Hartman is also active in the company Adriatic Global doo, registered for the activity of travel agencies. They mostly deal with private boat excursions.
According to really numerous reviews on TripAdvisor, Hartman, as a skipper in the summer in Dubrovnik, transports tourists on private excursions by speedboat and delights them with the service. Some remember him in eulogy under the nickname "Frankie", praising his organizational and leadership skills, flexibility, knowledge of the history of the City… The most recent reviews mentioning the skipper Fran date from July and August this year, so it remains unclear how arrives to perform a number of duties at the Postgraduate Center.
SELFIES WITH SKEJA, PARTIES WITH WHISKEY AND CIGARS
Sources from Dubrovnik with whom Telegram spoke, for Hartman mostly say that he is a "special type". We saw this for ourselves by searching his Facebook profile; he mostly posts photos from speedboat trips and hanging out with friends over cigars and whiskey, and as it seems according to the comments, he is especially proud of his selfie with Mark Ske , the former war commander of IX. HOS battalion “Rafael vitez Boban”.
Working on the story of the rector's apartments, last year we spoke briefly with Hartman, who manages the building of the University of Zagreb in Dubrovnik. "It's funny to come here for a summer vacation," Hartman told us on the phone, adding that the rector and vice-rectors only stay in Dubrovnik when they have work to do. As an example, he then gave us their meetings and conversations with the mayor of Dubrovnik.
During last year's conversation, he stressed several times that he thought we were calling him for a positive story about Dubrovnik University Center. “I would like you to praise us for the work we do,” he told us.
SINCE OUR VISIT, THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR 6 PORTERS
Shortly after our conversation, at the end of October 2019, Hartman was elected head of the Postgraduate Center Dubrovnik in a public competition. Since then, somewhere along the way, he has concluded that the imposing building lacks a porter to control entrances and exits. So, the University of Zagreb, faster and better, in the period from October 2019 to May this year, announced tenders for a total of six porters; all indefinitely and for work in day and night shifts.
Preference, according to two competitions, was given to candidates with a security guard's license. In the description of the porter's job, the University, among other things, looked for candidates who would "monitor the situations, conditions and movements of persons" and "monitor the entry and exit of parties into the university premises", as well as "keep records of arrivals and departures".
The flood of competitions for porters, just after our research tour in September last year, seemed significant to us, given that Telegram's reporters walked and photographed the Dubrovnik university building freely. All employed porters, as well as all employees of the Postgraduate Center Dubrovnik, are employees of the University of Zagreb and their salaries are paid from public funds.
EVERYTHING STAYS IN THE FAMILY. AND IN THE RECTORATE
We have already mentioned; since 2017, Hartman has been the director of the university company Dormitorij doo, which separately manages the dormitories and apartments in the building in the Dubrovnik building. The work of Dormitory under Hartman's baton is directly supervised by a Supervisory Board composed of three Boras vice-rectors; Miljenko Šimpraga , Mladen Janjanin and Miloš Judaš . In other words, in the university residence in Dubrovnik - from the Dormitory to the entire Postgraduate Center - everything stays in the family. And in the Rectorate, of course.

Today, the President of the Republic of Croatia, Zoran Milanović, participated in the solemn session of the City Council of the City of Bjelovar on the occasion of the City Day and the Bjelovar Veterans Day. After the session, he gave a statement to the press, again commenting on the investigation in the Janaf case and socializing in Kovacevic's club.
- We went there two days after the earthquake. Ministers came there, it is known in what context, it is known in what context I ... I was there a long time ago, only once since I was president. But let’s not be distractions. Everyone can be questioned, including me, Milanovic said.
He believes that the topic of the club is completely irrelevant and calls not to erase what is a serious scandal.
- The Prime Minister must have known about the investigation and he knew. Let’s concentrate on the essentials, I’m no provocateur. Of course, the prime minister and the interior minister know about such things, the president said.
He called Dalija Orešković and Marijana Puljak, who hung a board with the inscription 'Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia' in Slovenska 9 today, self-satisfied and envious people.
- The Parliament will want Pernar and see what kind of self-satisfied noisemakers came to the Parliament, said Milanović.
He claims that the SOA did not know anything about the investigation into the Janaf affair, and adds that Dragan Lozančić , the former director of the SOA, also spoke about it .

- How could the SOA know that? The only thing is that they have a fortune teller, who will tell this man - I see a trip and in three months he will be under investigation, said Milanović.
- But it is a serious problem if the Prime Minister did not know. He represents the top of the government, Milanovic said.
- These are topics that must be discussed. I cannot arrest the minister and the prime minister and get him to talk to me at all to make him confess. Regardless of whether it is an election and whether I will run for a second term, something must be left behind, says Milanović.
He believes that the Prime Minister must have known about the investigation of Josip Rimac .
- Of course he must have known that a prominent secretary of state was stealing money. Well, the Prime Minister can't help but know that. Let us look to those we constantly call for example, especially their brilliant judiciary, how they do it. It is an experience that has been built for years, and in our country people behave as if they fell out of a bag yesterday, said Milanović.
- Something, I will not say that it stinks, but it is not good and so it must not go further, said Milanovic.

Large world companies invest a lot in this part of Europe, and they regularly bypass Croatia
Frequent changes in the tax system and high levies drive many investors

Large investors often bypass Croatia in a wide arc; many companies, even if they dare to invest in Croatia, give it up in a few years. Among them are the latest examples of Meggle, which decided to close the production plant in Osijek, and 160 workers were fired.
The departure of British American Tobacco (BAT) has been talked about more and more intensely in the last few months. According to those familiar with the situation on the tobacco market, BAT is considering leaving Croatia due to the unpredictability of business and the unfair system of taxation of tobacco products.
Although BAT did not want to officially comment on the reasons for considering leaving, it can be found that they are bothered by the fact that excise duties are being raised in Croatia without any plan, and decisions largely depend on how much money is missing in the budget.
There is no excise calendar as is common in developed countries, which would allow companies to know in advance when an increase in excise duties may occur, making it easier to plan their business and avoid mostly unpleasant surprises.
With his departure, 1,600 workers and indirectly 400 subcontractors would lose their jobs. But a few examples from the region, which we have dealt with, also show that it can be different.
1. MICROSOFT'S INVESTMENT IN POLAND
In early May, Microsoft announced a $ 1 billion investment in a data center in Poland. As they wrote in their announcement, the decision fell on Poland because the company believes that Poland has the opportunity to become the "digital heart of Europe". Such a huge investment by such an influential company has clearly shown how the countries of Central and Eastern Europe have progressed rapidly, and Croatia has lagged behind.
Poland is, among other things, one of the ten largest economies in the EU, as evidenced by the fact that, when the world fell into the economic crisis in 2009, they passed almost unscathed. They even recorded GDP growth of 1.6 percent.

2. TOYO TIRES BUILDS IN SERBIA
One of the largest car tire manufacturers, the Japanese company Toyo Tires, announced in July 2019 the construction of a factory in the Vojvodina city of Indjija, worth 390 million euros. Construction was scheduled to begin in May this year, and production is scheduled to begin in January 2022.
The planned production capacity of the factory is five million tires a year, and 500 jobs should be created in the factory. The factory in Indjija will also be the first European Toyo Tires factory. According to the latest information , the construction of the factory has been postponed from April this year to August, but the mayor of Indjija, Vladimir Gak , says that everything is going according to plan, with minimal delays given the situation.
3. BOSCH INVESTMENTS IN HUNGARY
Bosch, one of the largest suppliers to the automotive industry, opened a development center in Budapest in 2005, whose role in the development of new technologies was growing. Within the Bosch Group, this center has become one of the most important for electronics research, development and testing. It should be noted that Bosch has been in a certain capacity in Hungary since 1898, but Hungary has taken on a more significant role since 2005.
In 2018, Bosch announced an additional investment of 120 million euros in the expansion of the development center. They planned to complete the works by 2021, and through the investment, they would employ another 1,800 people. Bosch's focus in Hungary is on the development of electric and autonomous vehicles, which is, after all, a trend of the entire automotive industry.
4. BMW BUILDS A FACTORY IN HUNGARY
In Hungary (in the pre-coronavirus era), more than 400,000 cars were produced annually. Mercedes-Benz, Suzuki, Citroen and others have their factories in Hungary, and in 2018 the company announced that German BMW will join. At the end of June 2018, they announced the construction of a new factory to assemble 150,000 BMWs, and this would be their first new factory since 2000, when they opened a factory in Leipzig. They announced that they would invest one billion euros in the construction of a factory capable of producing classic and electric cars, Reuters wrote .
But BMW's plans were thwarted by a coronavirus. Although construction of the new factory was scheduled to begin this year , BMW has postponed construction to 2024, the BMW Blog has learned . BMW did not give an exact deadline for the postponement of the construction, but they confirmed that they are very committed to the construction of the factory. In May, they took over a plot within the industrial zone of the city of Debrecen.
5. GOOGLE IS ALSO INVESTING IN POLAND
Google will invest up to two billion dollars in a new data center in Poland, in charge of their cloud services. The announcement of Google’s investment came just a month after Microsoft announced its investment. Thus, Poland is increasingly positioning itself as a technological leader in the region. The data center should start operating in early 2021.
6. MAGNA FACTORIES IN SLOVENIA AND SERBIA
Canada's Magna, one of the major suppliers to the automotive industry, opened a paint factory in Slovenia in July 2019, after an investment of 150 million euros, SeeNews wrote . It was the largest greenfield investment in Slovenian history, and the Slovenian government gave Magna incentives of 18.6m euros for the project. In the first three years, they expected to employ 300 people, and the number of employees was to increase to at least 1,000 workers over ten years.
But Magni, too, the coronavirus has complicated plans. Due to the decline in car sales, production was temporarily suspended in Slovenia, and about two hundred currently employed workers could continue to work at their sister factory in Graz, Austria, until production in Slovenia resumed.
Magna has also invested in Serbia. They built their first factory in Odžaci in 2013 and employed 444 workers. In that factory, they produced seats for Renault, Ford and Smart, and the factory was further expanded in 2017. At that time, the number of employees increased to 1,200, and the plan is to employ another 550 workers. This year, too, they expanded their production capacities in Serbia, by opening a new factory in Aleksinac. The factory has already started operating and employs about a hundred people, and the plan is to expand to 1,000 employees and build a new plant. Therefore, Magna, according to the estimates of the local government, could employ over 3,000 workers.

Scientists develop 'corona killer'? The new substance was tested on ferrets and they were amazed
Spray tested on ferrets contains a compound that stimulates TLR2 and TLR6 receptors to attract large numbers of white blood cells

A nasal spray that needs to be injected once a week could provide solid protection against covid-19, writes the Daily Mail .
The spray has so far been tested on ferrets that received two doses of the agent the day before they were exposed to the coronavirus - an artificially created molecule that stimulates the immune system.
The results showed that the agent reduced the replication of the virus in the noses of ferrets by as much as 96 percent, thus reducing the risk of infection and the spread of the disease.
An artificially created compound called INNA-051 will begin testing on humans in the next four months.
The product was originally developed to protect against cold and flu viruses, but approval is still pending because it has not yet been proven to work without any doubt.
However, previous research has shown that it 'speeds up' the antiviral response in the cells in the throats of healthy volunteers and those suffering from asthma, and that it provides prolonged protection in mice against rhinoviruses that cause runny nose in humans.
If approved, it could provide additional protection for those at increased risk of covid-19 infection, including the elderly and those suffering from certain medical conditions.
A study describing the details of the INNA-051 experiment was published on the bioRxiv portal, but has not yet been reviewed.
The spray was developed by the Australian company Ena Respiratory, which started working on it even before the pandemic hit the world.
The spray contains molecules designed to stimulate the TLR2 and TLR6 receptors on the mucous epithelial cells that line the throat and nose, to attract a large number of white blood cells to the area and thus enhance the immune response.
The spray test conducted on ferrets was led by Professor Miles Carroll , Deputy Director and Head of the Research Department of the Porton Down Public Health Institute of England.

Slovenia does not rule out the possibility of a new declaration of the epidemic: 'The situation remains dramatic'
Dr. Christophe Demaison , director of Ena Respiratory in Melbourne, says: - We are delighted with how effective this treatment is. By boosting the natural immunity of our ferrets, we came to the very rapid destruction of the virus.
If people are shown to react in a similar way, the benefits of this treatment are twofold, Demaison adds.
- People exposed to the virus could very quickly eliminate it from the body or ensure that a more severe form of the disease does not develop. This is especially important for vulnerable groups of citizens. In addition, the speed of the reaction makes the infected person a less likely carrier of the disease which means that local transmission could be reduced in this way.
The company says that the funds are insured if tests on humans prove successful, so the product could start to be produced in large quantities very soon.
Professor Roberto Solari , a respiratory specialist and consultant at Ena Respiratory and a guest lecturer at Imperial College London, says: - This is a significant achievement at a time when the world is looking for ways to stop the transmission of the new coronavirus to at-risk populations.
- The most exciting thing about INNA-051 is that it significantly reduces the amount of virus in the nose and throat, which gives hope that this could prevent the virus from spreading to people who show no symptoms and are unaware that they are infected.
The company has provided $ 8.25 million in funds for further development and is seeking additional financial support for new research.
INNA-051 provides protection against all respiratory diseases, not just the new coronavirus.
The study was performed on 24 female ferrets who received different doses of spray during which they were sedated.
After spraying, the animals were exposed to the virus to see if the preservative
PLENKOVIĆ AS MILAOVIĆ
Plenković as Milanović. The road to a recessionary bottom and a crisis by the end of the term
Most of the indicators should reach pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2022, which is not to be celebrated

From the monetary and financial top of the state, we again heard a set of positive news. The Governor of the Croatian National Bank Boris Vujčić encouraged the participants of the Leader's Day of Big Plans, who really needed every injection of optimism this year. Zdravko Maric , the government's chief financier, was colder after the adoption of the three-year budget projection, so it may have seemed more convincing, but they are both right.
As far as Croatia is concerned, the news is not so bad. However, thanks to tourism (although there is still no doubt that our economy is too dependent on this sensitive branch in which we have never systematically bitten), GDP will fall not nine percent, as predicted by the IMF at the beginning of the pandemic, and domestic, always pessimistic, analysts they quickly raised that estimate to minus 12, rather than eight percent, which is still a significant drop, and next year we will not grow six, but five percent (because after a small drop we start from a higher point).
Most of the indicators should reach the pre-pandemic level by the end of 2022, which is not to be celebrated if we know that we only recently caught 2009. This is an important step forward, with Schengen still unattainable, bringing us closer to the final stage of merging with the European Union. It is important, however, to remember Maric's last silent remark: "Global expectations for a speedy recovery under the V model have largely been abandoned.
We expect a strong recovery over the next two years, but we must not allow the right arm of the V to turn into a horizontal one. " Of the 162 global businesses whose managers were interviewed by Oxford Economics analysts, 20 percent are convinced that the next financial crisis is coming in less than two years.
Fear itself has consequences - optimism indices are lower than expected, and such a mood threatens to drag into a spiral of depression. Fear of the coming crisis is the biggest killer of consumption, but also of big ambitious plans. The financial crisis will not explode immediately, as banks are mostly healthier than in 2008. This time, the cause of the crisis will not be banking insatiability. Banks, however, will again be among the first branches of business where the consequences will be felt. “Banks are not the source of the crisis, but I cannot expect them to be left without scars,” the Financial Times quoted Hyun Song Shin, chief economist at the Bank for International Settlements, as saying .

Our European money or the conspiracy of the elite against the citizens
His conclusion is not encouraging: "The phase of the immediate liquidity crisis is now giving way to the solvency crisis, and the banks will undoubtedly bear the greatest burden." What this means for the price of money everywhere, and inevitably in Croatia, we can only guess for now. Interest rates are still lower than ever, but the mailboxes of companies and citizens are already full of bank notifications about raising bank fees and lowering limits for framework loans. The crisis has arrived with a pandemic and is unlikely to stop until medicine stops the spread of the disease.
The London Economist warns that the scale of the covid pandemic is greater than official figures show. This conclusion is not questionable because a significant part of those infected, but also those with a mild form of the disease, never reach a doctor, and then not even the state statistics. The problem is that all other numbers come from the realm of free estimates, which are usually as reliable as the recipe for a safe jackpot. It is certain that, even after medicine approaches the solution, the approach to safety will be uneven both globally and within individual countries. The real problem will come with the vaccine, which according to most estimates means no earlier than the middle of next year.
Never before has the world met the need to vaccinate such a large part of the population as soon as possible. Some of the states will not be able to cope with such an organizational challenge on their own. When we considered future recovery scenarios this spring (it was that weird five-letter alphabet that started with an optimistic V and ended with a disastrous, irreversible I after slowed U, W, and L), the conclusion was that, depending on the behavior of the virus, recovery may be halted after a steep rise by a new wave of epidemics and a re-locking of the economy.
After three unlocked months, the result is both better and worse than expected. Better because the decline is smaller than expected, and worse because the recovery if the pandemic intensifies and we see acceleration will stop before it starts, and society will move towards a new recession bottom, probably deeper than the 2010 we experienced. , and even sent the Government of Zoran Milanović. Such a "W" pattern, in addition to prolonging the crisis, would bring us the danger of a significant decline in business and consumer confidence in government recovery measures. A low level of confidence always brings reduced consumption and then, consequently, a drop in orders, bankruptcies and unemployment. Until medicine declares the end of the pandemic, it is therefore important to include conscience. Masks do not bite.

President Zoran Milanović in Donji Miholjac, where he participated in the solemn session of the City Council of Donji Miholjac on the occasion of the City Day, commented on the Janaf affair and the Dragan Kovačević Club .
Milanovic, among other things, continued the shootout with Prime Minister Andrej Plenković .
- I didn't call anyone angry, I don't see what was disputable except for someone telling you to stabilize. I did not physically attack people in the Parliament, I am more stable than him - said Milanović.
He also said that he heard that the Prime Minister was receiving Bakir Izetbegović and Dragan Čović today, which, as he said, was the result of events from two weeks ago.
- Bakir has not received a reception from the Prime Minister for a long time. I will talk to Dzaferovic today - said Milanovic.

He also referred to his arrival at the Dragan Kovačević Club.
- I was there twice in very close company. I would probably never go there again. I was in a completely different company. I didn't gather there on Martinja. The fish came from Split, no one wanted to buy it and that's how I got there - he said and added that he talked to the Chief of the HV General Staff at the Club.
- The story being sold that the laws are not the same for everyone, what is a lockdown? 50 percent of people went to work, there was no standing still. You ask the President of the Republic or the Government why he did not stay at home with his own? Then they would say I didn’t come to work. Why should I stay home and zoom in with co-workers? - said Milanović.

Is this a healthy procedure, I ask you and the Prime Minister. Let him read the German case. There's no one knew.

'Too much to eat in Croatia'
Before giving a statement to the media, he also referred to a detail from the Janaf affair at the session, considering that he had previously stated that he was in Dragan Kovacevic's club because an acquaintance called him not to throw away food that had excess.
- Fortunately, there is no hunger anywhere in Croatia. In fact, you eat too much. There are even leftovers and surpluses. But there must be a balance mechanism - said Milanovic.

Today, the President of the Republic of Croatia, Zoran Milanović , visited Donji Miholjac, where he gave a speech at the celebration of the City Day. In one part of his speech, the President announced that a step backwards in economic terms awaits us, adding that fortunately the country is not starving. "Moreover, there is too much to eat," Milanovic stated, adding with a barely perceptible smile on his face: "Including leftovers."
For the uninitiated, the president joked at his own expense, commenting on the unprecedented amount of antics at his own expense that entertained Croatia last weekend . Social networks were then flooded with jokes at the expense of his appetite, caused by Milanović's statement about the occasion when he visited the infamous club of Dragan Kovačević in Slovenska 9.
HOW HE BECAME A TARGET ON SOCIAL NETWORKS
“Should I have been home for a month? Who am I allowed to be with for a month? It was during the lockdown and a friend from Dalmatia called me, there was a lot of food to throw away because he had no one to give it to. We met because it was more practical there. But it's a pointless topic, "the president said a few days ago, probably not expecting what followed.
In addition to getting involved in the general joke at his own expense, Milanović sent an encouraging message to the inhabitants of that part of Slavonia in Donji Miholjac. The President acknowledged that a large number of people had left the area, but also stated that he was convinced that a good part of them would return since the same phenomenon had been observed in other transition countries. At the end of a short speech, Milanovic told the hosts that he saw that they were working, and encouraged them to "ruthlessly use European money" to improve the economic situation in their city.

Some believe the Times announcement buried Trump’s chances. We explain why this is not true

Democrats weren't wasting time: as early as Sunday night, stickers could be bought that read "I paid more taxes than Donald Trump." Fast and very efficient.
Donald Trump has survived various scandals, scandals, attacks (justified and those who were not) during his four years in the White House, but the data published by The New York Times on Sunday on non-payment of taxes is one of the absolutely hardest blows. Yes, I will also use an old, worn-out argument: Al Capone ended up in prison for tax evasion. No one likes to pay taxes, but in the US it is still seen as an obligation, a civic duty, not to descend on the Christian “God of God, Emperor of the Emperors”. There is a Protestant ethic in this that is embedded in the foundations of the idea of America as a "land of the free," which has power "from nation to nation." And that nation pays taxes and no one is above that.
Every American president since the 1970s has published his tax return. Except for Donald Trump. That story drags on throughout his tenure, and he defended himself as he can’t do it because his tax returns are under audit.
Trump profited from the position
The New York Times came into possession of the documents. And he published them, as executive editor Dean Baquet wrote , because "we believe that citizens should understand as much as possible about their leaders and representatives - their priorities, their experiences and also their finances." And a particularly important sentence: "Tradition dictates that an official who can shake up markets and change policies must not seek financial gain from his actions." And the data presented by the Times confirms that Trump has profited greatly from his presidential position. It was written about during the campaign and the mandate, but it always somehow fell into the background because of all the other scandals and scandals.
Tuesday is the first confrontation between Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden . This announcement is very likely and planned to throw Trump into a defensive position before that clash. And gave Biden a tactical advantage. One Republican strategist told the AP: "If the campaign is about Trump, then he is losing." And that's why Trump's team put a lot of energy into putting Biden in the foreground. That is why, finally, agreements between Israel and the UAE were hastily signed and a show was organized with the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo. And the circus with TikTok is fabricated. And the election of a judge for the Supreme Court came unexpectedly, but as another element that will act homogeneously on the electorate.

EXPLOSIVE DISCOVERY
New York Times: Trump’s business is accumulating losses, and he hasn’t paid income tax in 10 years
The Times's publication completely removes what little gilding is left on the story of Trump as a very successful entrepreneur, businessman. Namely, in recent polls, the issue of economic management has remained the only area in which the electorate trusts Trump more than Biden. And how do you trust a president who doesn’t pay taxes and his business is falling apart? The AP believes that the Times' announcement could be a crucial moment that will turn even Trump's most loyal voters, workers (blue collar, those with blue collars) from Pennsylvania, Michigan and the federal states that brought him victory in 2016.
Polarized earth
Despite all this, one should not rush to conclusions. According to opinion polls, a very small percentage of American voters are undecided. The country is strongly divided, ideological opposites are strong, and there are paradoxical situations: Hispanics, whose compatriots Trump wants to stop with a wall at the border, still support Trump in a relatively large percentage. Because he tightened his policy towards Cuba, and Biden was part of Obama’s team that opened the door to that country. And especially in Florida, which once, in 2000, decided the winner of the American elections.
Trump has so far shown he has more than nine lives. And whenever Democrats turned on him strongly, as in the case of the election of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in 2018, he ultimately profited: the judge was elected, and some undecided voters turned to Republicans for what they saw as violent attacks to the President. Which was partly true. Polls over the summer of 2018 projected that Democrats could win the Senate. They are not. The Kavanaugh case certainly played a part in that.
Trump has an extremely stable and loyal electorate. Despite the AP's allegations, they see attacks on "their president" as an incentive to stand behind him even more strongly. Like Republican MPs in Congress, especially in the Senate.
These elections will be decided by unknown strangers. Random variables. How will the attacks by Democratic senators on the process of appointing Judge Amy Barrett resonate in public, how will Biden deal with Trump in confrontations, will Democratic voters rely too much on correspondence to give Trump a chance to declare victory on election night number of electors. The tax return is just one of those variables in the huge equation with a sea of unknowns. An important variable, but still limited in scope.

"Is the name of the new university appropriate, Dr. Franjo Tudjman, given that the International Criminal Court has determined that he participated in a joint criminal enterprise," Peovic wondered after Defense Minister Mario Banozic presented the law establishing the university to parliament.
"The name was chosen because it is the first Croatian president," Banožić replied, after which a series of parliamentary reactions began, so the president of the HDZ Club B, Ranko Bačić, said that a public apology was the least that the HDZ could ask of Peović for everything that speaks of Tudjman.
We will not allow certain MPs to express their frustration and regret that the Croatian state was created by slandering and lying about the founder of modern and sovereign Croatia, "Bačić pointed out.
He emphasized that Tudjman was one of Croatia's greatest sons, and that the HDZ would not allow "those who are the ideological and ideological heirs of the SKJ to be slandered and lied to, to whom the five-pointed star still means more than the historical Croatian coat of arms."
That it is "shameful and shameless" in Parliament to claim that Tudjman is a criminal is also considered by HDZ's Zeljko Reiner , emphasizing that without his leadership it would be questionable what the Republic of Croatia would look like today "and whether those who talk about him today would sit in parliamentarians or they would be somewhere in Uzice ".
Marijan Pavliček (HKS) and Stipo Mlinarić Ćipe (Homeland Movement) also reacted fiercely to Peović's statements , accusing her of praising the five-pointed star who destroyed Vukovar, and considers Tuđman a criminal.
"Tito is a proven criminal and the red five-armed woman is a criminal who attacked Vukovar," Mlinaric told her, and Pavlicek added that Peovic should be removed from the session. "This is a disgrace," he said.
"We have just heard the most scandalous statement in the history of the Parliament," said Hrvoje Zekanovic (Croatian Sovereignists), who reprimanded his colleagues who reacted to MP Peovic's statements, "without raising their voices," and called Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandrokovic that he had reluctantly given her a reprimand.
"Don't be a bigger pope than the pope," Miro Bulj (Most) replied, who had previously unequivocally condemned the MP's statement.
Jandroković repeated several times that Peović's statement was unacceptable and inaccurate and that he did not agree with it, but that the words she uttered were her political views with which she appeared before the voters.
"We are not here to prevent others from saying what they want, it will be up to the citizens to decide," he told lawmakers.

At least 16 soldiers but also a number of civilians have been killed on Sunday in the fiercest fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan since 2016, raising fears about stability in the South Caucasus region, an oil and gas corridor for world markets.
Clashes between the two former Soviet republics, which had been at war in the 1990s, began on Sunday morning and continued on Monday with the deployment of heavy artillery on both sides.
It is the latest showdown in the long-running conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, a renegade region within Azerbaijan populated mainly by Armenians.

Nagorno-Karabakh announced that 16 of its soldiers were killed and more than 100 wounded after Azerbaijan launched an air and artillery attack early Sunday. Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh declared a state of war and a general mobilization of the male population.
Azerbaijan, which has also declared a state of war, said its forces responded to an Armenian attack that killed five members of one family.

He also said Baku had taken control of seven villages. Nagorno-Karabakh initially denied such reports but later admitted that he had lost "some positions" and had suffered civilian losses, but did not specify figures.
The clashes have sparked a lively diplomatic activity to reduce new tensions in the decades-long conflict between predominantly Christian Armenia and Muslim Azerbaijan.
Russia has called for an immediate ceasefire, and Turkey has announced it will support Azerbaijan.
Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with Armenian Prime Minister Nikolai Pashinyan but details of the conversation have not been released.

Nagorno-Karabakh seceded from Azerbaijan in a conflict that erupted after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Although a ceasefire was agreed in 1994, after thousands of people were killed and many more displaced, Azerbaijan and Armenia are often blamed for attacks around Nagorno-Karabakh and along the border line.
Armenia said Azerbaijani forces were attacking civilian targets, including those in the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, Stepanakert, and promised a "proportionate response".

It is funny when the former prime minister plays the whistleblower: The investigation into Kovacevic is being obscured
If Milanovic had ever really been against such a system, he would have at least rocked it while he had all the leverage

Dragan Kovacevic , a cross-party figure, one of those omnipotent from the famous HNS quota, forced some top-ranked politicians to suddenly move from the otherwise usual zone of comfortable, passive commenting on investigations (in the style of "let the institutions do their job") real, engaged, at times even furious debates about just one more in a series of cases of alleged grand theft of public money.
Dragan Kovačević is a character from a bad system, a man whom the system caressed and he caressed him very gently, regardless of which party was in power at what time and in which he was at that moment. Kovačević is in fact a poster boy of an illegal, but always active "grand coalition", an ideal example of a politician and a state businessman for a picture of what Croatian multi-party system has been and remains most successful in. In creative solutions directing public funds beyond public interests, predominantly for the benefit of private enrichment, over the edges of eccentricity and perversion.
The Slovenian 9 address is what it should not be in a state that has and respects democratic institutions. Prime ministers, presidents, ministers, public directors should not huddle in darkened basements in front of which cell phones are left off, but should perform their responsible public affairs in the institutions in which they are employed, in the places where they are elected, in the public light and without conspiracy. .
With Kovačević's circle, it was, obviously, all different and upside down, and that is why today the nervousness of many is too great.
Befriending Kovacevic, the Kovacevic family, or rather a friendly attitude towards such a model of bargaining at the top of the state and the state economy, is something that makes many people sweat their palms these days as details come out, even transcripts of conversations from Janaf's months-long follow-up.
Therefore, some would strongly and urgently want to transfer the conversation about possible crime not even in the political but in the political sphere. An attempt is being made to obscure, to politicize the investigation of the man everyone was coming to.
But it is not, of course, a question of whether Plenković or Milanović are right , nor is it a question of who must have known what, nor what was allowed to leak to the public, nor who leaked anything to whom.
The topic is why, as soon as such an affair subsides, everyone continues to silently support the system in which "kovačevići" multiply, like an egg to an egg, with slight differences that one falls in love with furry bears, the other nails oils on canvas to the tiles. kitchen, and the third would lie between Stanko Vraz and Vatroslav Lisinski in the arcades on Mirogoj.
It is therefore not crucial who knew that Kovacevic allegedly took millions of bribes, bought hundreds and hundreds of square meters of real estate, secured a VIP tomb for himself, entertained some politicians and other people of low morals.
The other thing is crucial: who knew that everything could be done and agreed with these and such characters, that everyone would always be there for him, regardless of party colors and alleged ideological fervor. And everyone knew that.
Realistically, what Kovacevic was arrested for is just the usual, cyclical excess of a deep clientelistic state, about which Milanovic - who presents himself to us as an omniscient system - knew everything, but still did nothing.

Little by little, with difficult words and weak deeds, the president branded himself a Soviet-type democrat
WRITES NINO ĐULA
The SDP is acting as if only Bernardic has been defeated, not their entire spent concept
It’s just grotesque when a longtime prime minister tries to sound like a whistleblower. As someone who has never had the opportunity to change things, as some kind of NGO that threateningly looms over the corrupt system and seeks to change it in order to serve the public interest more.
It is bizarre when he tries to make up for the lack of honesty about personal connections with suspects by emphasizing openness about his own illegal insights into police investigations.
It is pathetic when even his former police minister has to publicly distance himself from the president’s statements by which he personally compromised him and say: No, I did not break the laws.
This fraudulent form of political activity, which is based solely on inciting inter-party and ideological intolerance, on the left-right relationship, which has meanwhile completely faded, is something that certainly does not serve to suppress but to relativize political corruption and abuse of public office and power. .
If Milanovic had ever really been strongly against such a system, he would have at least rocked it at a time when he had all the leverage in his hands to do so.
But today's president, let's be realistic, did not have the ambition to break up non-partisan and parapolitical circles and clubs in which good food was eaten and even better negotiated. On the contrary, he fit in nicely with them. For him, Slovenska 9 was not a suspicious spell in which he smelled of lawlessness; for him, and many others of all political genders, it was indeed a space of privilege and privilege.
That's the problem.
Of course, in the Milanović-Plenković theatrical clash, the audience will mostly decide on the affinities they have anyway. SDP-HDZ, left-right, hooligan-bureaucrat, government-opposition. There is nothing wrong with that.
But these feigned outbursts of disagreement and conflict always go beyond the problem and distract us from the real issue. It is not a question here of who knew about which affair at what stage, who violated the law better, who was better informed by the services or who had what priorities.
Here is just one question: why, instead of with each other, Milanović and Plenković finally do not enter, of course, a far more complex battle with this ridiculous system by which he unloads one state "excellent" every now and then in Remetinec.

Protesters chanted "Deceivers!" and "Holy is our president!", referring to Svetlana Tihanovska as they marched through the streets of Minsk and other cities adorned with the red and white colors of the opposition. Human rights activists said at least 53 people had been detained.
Some called the protest a "people's inauguration" of Svetlana Tihanovska, Lukashenko's main opponent who fled abroad after the August 9th elections. Lukashenko's opponents believe the election was rigged to give the incumbent a sixth term.

Former High Representative in BiH: 'It is impossible to govern that country, it is threatened with disintegration'
Dayton has cemented the path of nationalist and secessionist forces in BiH that seek to break up the state, writes C. Schwarz-Schilling

This year marks 25 years since the American town of Dayton (Ohio) went down in history. There, on November 21, 1995, after almost four years, the war in BiH ended after negotiations on a peace agreement, signed by the three then presidents Slobodan Milosevic , Franjo Tudjman and Alija Izetbegovic , on December 14, 1995 in Paris.
25 years after the signing of the Dayton Agreement, we must take a look at its origin, content and consequences, in order to understand the current situation in BiH.
The emergence of the Dayton Agreement
In early 1994, the US administration of President Bill Clinton became heavily involved in then-war BiH for a number of reasons, and in March 1994, it mediated between Bosniak-Muslims and Bosnian Croats to establish the Federation of BiH. The federal model served the "Contact Group", made up of the United States, Britain, France, Russia and Germany, as a cornerstone for later peace agreement negotiations, Christian Schwarz-Schilling writes for Deutsche Welle .
The then-Contact Group's plan was based on a proposal by Russia, Britain and France to persecute, ie "ethnic cleansing" committed by Serbs, and to grant them 49% of BiH's territory, although according to the 1991 census. year in BiH lived only 31% of Serbs. Later, even the relocation of different ethnic groups was accepted, only to better differentiate between "homogeneous" ethnic groups - Serbs on the one hand and federations with Bosniaks and Croats on the other.
The United States, which had long opposed the recognition of war conquests, nevertheless made a political turn in early 1995 and recognized the same war conquests, ie "ethnic cleansing", and thus the territorial division in favor of the Serbs. Germany was the last country to agree to such a paradigm shift. With this territorial division, outlined by the Dayton Accords, the aggressor was eventually rewarded, and the attacked were punished. Can we talk about a just peace agreement here?
Content of the agreement
Under strong pressure from American negotiators, led by Richard Holbrooke, the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina ended in Dayton on November 21, 1995. Bosnia and Herzegovina remained a state, but was divided into two entities: the Federation of BiH with a Croat and Muslim population and the Republika Srpska with a predominantly Serb population. A special administrative area of Brcko has also been established. The international community has envisioned the High Representative to oversee the implementation of the civilian part of the Dayton Accords. Three ethnic groups have been vetoed to protect their "vital national interests" to avoid tensions and possible disputes. Since then, it also means that members of the Presidency and the House of Peoples of the BiH Parliament can block any decision if the "constituent people" see the threat to their own vital interests.
After nearly four years of war with more than 100,000 victims, over two million refugees, mass rapes, prisoner-of-war camps and the Srebrenica genocide, Bosnian Serbs have been assigned half of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dealing with war crimes took place both then and today - with difficulty, with a lot of effort and with great effort. The Dayton Accords favored major war crimes actors in this segment. Despite everything, everyone was relieved when the contract was signed.
After almost four long years, the international community has collected the broken fragments of its own weaknesses from the war in BiH - unfortunately too late for many people.
And Bosnians and Herzegovinians had to reorient themselves. Under the Dayton Accords, refugees had the right to return home, which in the new situation meant returning to the newly created, ethnically divided entities. In practice, however, this return to the old homeland looked completely different. Many gave up after years of unsuccessful attempts, sold the property and moved out. The earth continued to divide and "cleanse."
The Dayton Agreement has basically taken away democratic rights from all minorities, they practically do not exist in the BiH Constitution, which provides for only three ethnic groups (Bosniaks-Muslims, Croats and Serbs) as constituent peoples. The basic rights of many Bosnians and Herzegovinians were erased by the Dayton Accords and distorted by the legal torso.

Consequences of Dayton
It must be said that the Dayton Agreement made Bosnia and Herzegovina impossible to govern. I spent years studying the Agreement and the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is part of it, and tried unsuccessfully to amend the Constitution during my term as High Representative in 2006. All the Dayton negotiators at the time knew that the Peace Agreement and the Constitution incorporated into it were in fact overcomplicated, imperfect, and that there was a stumbling block in them at every turn. They hoped, however, as Richard Holbrooke told me at the time in Dayton, that they would change the Agreement step by step, if necessary and with the help of the High Representative.
However, in the last 25 years, no one has succeeded, neither the international community nor the Bosnians and Herzegovinians in changing the Constitution, and thus the Dayton Agreement. The then head of the German delegation to Dayton, Wolfgang Ischinger, said the contract was to include a mandatory review clause, so changes to the Agreement were to be made after about three years.
Today's BiH is unstable, the rule of law is difficult to exist, corruption is high, poverty and social insecurity are constantly growing, and the decline in population, because young and qualified people are leaving BiH, has been almost unstoppable for years. The Dayton Agreement and the BiH Constitution, however, remain unchanged, undermining democratic rights and thus leading the country deeper into hopelessness and further and further away from the EU, writes Christian Schwarz-Schilling for DW .
The international community still lacks a constructive role, is divided, disinterested, and has been making the same mistakes for years as it did in the 1990s. Has the terrible war of that time been forgotten? The international community tolerates the aggressive and nationalist rhetoric of many Bosnian politicians, who have been praising convicted war criminals for years.
She could call on the help of a High Representative armed with Bonn powers to change that, but she does not. Today, the responsibility of the international community to take Bosnia and Herzegovina more seriously must be appealed to in order to find a solution to get the country out of the status quo imposed by the Dayton Agreement. Or should BiH be allowed to simply fall apart after all?
BiH as the biggest loser
A strong player is Russia, which has its own interests and has been interfering in the situation in the region for a long time, and mainly uses Serbia as an extended hand to bring unrest to the political landscape and to oppose the EU and the USA. A recent example of nationalist incidents following the Montenegrin elections should be a red line for all.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is the biggest loser in the so-called Yugoslav wars. The "strength of facts" has determined political action and coexistence in all segments of life in BiH for 25 years since the establishment of Dayton - and this has nothing to do with reconciliation and justice after the war. On the contrary, the Dayton Accords cemented the path of nationalist and secessionist forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which have been striving to break up the state for decades.
Twenty-five years ago, then-BiH President Alija Izetbegovic said after the signing of the Dayton Accords: "And I tell my people: this may not be a just peace, but it is fairer than the continuation of the war. In a situation like this, a better peace cannot be achieved "God is our witness that we have done everything in our power to reduce the level of injustice for our country and our people."
But we all know that without justice there can be no lasting peace. It is time for Bosnia and Herzegovina to experience justice, concludes Christian Schwarz-Schilling for DW .

MILANOVIČ PRESIDENT DVORI RETALITED
replied to the Government: I apologize to the ministers that the Prime Minister brought to the position of a swindler
On Facebook, he responded to a message from the Banski dvori that he must apologize and 'stabilize' before meeting with the Prime Minister.

After the Government reacted to the latest speech of the President of the Republic on Saturday with a request for his apology, noting that they expect Zoran Milanović to 'stabilize', on Sunday the Croatian head of state posted an 'apology' on Facebook, which is actually his verbal war with Banski dvori about the Janaf case and the work of the police and DORH received only a new episode.
- The President of the Republic first apologizes in good faith to all those, especially the ministers, whom the Prime Minister and some of his associates brought into indolence by their indolence, reluctance and inaction, ie exposed them to undeserved embarrassment, Milanović begins his status.
- The President of the Republic also apologizes to those for whom the Prime Minister insinuated that they are carriers of rabies, ie rabies. Rabies is one of the most serious viral diseases; weight from many cancers, incomparable to covid. It is more widely infected mammals. Dogs, foxes and vampire bats ..., is stated in the president's status.
- And, of course, the President of the Republic apologizes to all citizens because in the Government of that same Prime Minister for years sat ministers whose luxury Mercedes fell from the sky into the yard or who did not report millions of real estate because they accumulated so much that they did not know them to count. And all just because the Prime Minister did not want to know, see or hear anything, no matter how much everyone else in the country told him about it, wrote and warned him, Milanović continues in his post on Facebook.
- And for all who want to know - including those who always need special attention - here is an example from 2014 from Germany, a communist, Soviet despotism, whose deficient democratic system can not be compared with Croatia. Only in this and such Germany can it happen that no one disputes that the minister is conscientiously doing his job and has information from the investigation, but it is disputed that he expanded it. It is time for the Germans to emulate Croatia, concluded Milanović's status with a link to the following article by Deutsche Welle: https://www.dw.com/en/oppermann-defends-actions-in-bundestag-hearing-over-edathy- affair / a-17443223 .

Shortly after this status, another one appeared on Milanović's Facebook.
- Once again, I invite the Prime Minister to a meeting and conversation, whenever it suits him. Not to be forgotten, states the President of the Republic on the social network.
As a reminder, Milanović announced on Saturday that he would talk to Prime Minister Andrej Plenković about the Janaf affair and the functioning of state institutions, but given the vocabulary he used, the Banski dvori retaliated.
- A date? Let him first apologize to everyone he insults, and then stabilize - the Government responded to Milanovic's announcement of talks on criminal proceedings in which Dragan Kovacevic was arrested for corruption as President of the Management Board of Janaf, who received almost two million kuna in bribes from entrepreneur Kreso Petek . mayors and deputies, HDZ's Dražen Barišić from Velika Gorica and SDP's Vinko Grgić from Nova Gradiška, and others.
Milanovic has been criticizing the prime minister, the police and USKOK for days and claims that the action should have been stopped at the end of last year, when Petek came to Kovacevic's club with almost two million. He believes that the police should have broken into the club, confiscated the money and arrested Petek and Kovacevic. And after the bribe money was found in the trunk of Kovacevic's car parked in the garage of a friend's villa, Milanovic insists the thesis that investigators failed to gather key evidence.

SPLIT'S MARJAN AFFAIR
The state ignored the expert's finding on the bills for the construction of the former Kerum pride: 12 million euros more than the actual value of the works shown

The Split County State's Attorney's Office has launched investigations into the construction and financial skills requested, obtained and presented to creditors four years ago by Zoran Miletić, the then bankruptcy trustee of Adriatic, which until recently operated the Marjan Hotel.
Back in June 2016, Slobodna Dalmacija wrote about the results of these reports, according to which the difference between the construction expert's estimate of the work done on the Marjan Hotel and the invoices issued was almost 12 million euros, or 90 million and 629 thousand kunas.
- In relation to the inquiry of September 22, 2020, from the content of which it follows that you are requesting information on the actions of the County State's Attorney's Office in Split regarding the expertise conducted in the bankruptcy proceedings of "Adriatic" dd, I point out that the Split County State Attorney's Office -Dalmatian conducts surveys. The provision of Article 206, item f. The Criminal Procedure Code stipulates that conduct during the investigation is secret, and the body conducting the investigation may, when required by the public interest, inform the public about the course of the investigation in the manner prescribed by a special law - Rene Laura , spokeswoman for the County State's Attorney's Office , told us on Thursday .
SUSPICIONS
She could not answer us officially, of course, for secrecy, when these investigations were launched. However, we learn from reliable sources that the Deputy County State's Attorney, who was in charge of the case, ordered the police to conduct an investigation only after Slobodna Dalmacija asked, ie two days ago! So what was done for four years ?!
It should be reminded that the then bankruptcy trustee Miletić ordered construction and financial expertise in July 2015, according to the decision of the Creditors' Assembly. Vladimir Krklec , a permanent court expert for bookkeeping and financial affairs, completed the work in February 2016 and, among other things, identified some "suspicious" conclusions concerning the Sapor company (then owned by Kerum's nephew Igor Sapunar ), which formerly called "Kerum Ing" and which was the main contractor for the hotel.

The financial expert determined that "according to the findings of the construction expert and a comparison with the submitted and certified situations, the value of the performed works does not correspond to the value of the pledged rights to the real estate Hotel Marjan".
According to the issued invoices recorded in the business books of "Sapor", the turnover with "Adriatic" was 262 million kuna, of which almost 48 million refers to VAT, and the value of the performed works is 28 million and 121 thousand euros, or 214 million and 284 thousand kuna.

However, according to the construction expert, the value of the performed works is 16 million and 227 thousand euros, or 123 million and 655 thousand kunas. Thus, the difference between the construction expert's assessment of the value of the work actually performed and the invoices issued is almost EUR 12 million, or HRK 90 million and 629 thousand, respectively.
The said expertise was then attached to the file of the Commercial Court, but the State Attorney's Office of Split did not officially receive it then, in June, when the article was published in the SD.
