In this situation, are you obliged to stop your vehicle to yield the right of way to a pedestrian?

In the video you are approaching a pedestrian crossing in a town, with a traffic island marked with sign C-9; a person in a wheelchair is crossing, from right to left, across your lane, and a white minibus is coming from the opposite direction. You have to stop the vehicle to give way to them. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act states that when a person with a disability using a special sign, or a person with visibly reduced mobility, is crossing the roadway, the driver must stop the vehicle to allow them to cross; regardless of this, a pedestrian on the crossing or entering it has right of way. With a person in a wheelchair, the Act leaves no choice between slowing down and stopping - it requires you to stop, because such a person moves more slowly, cannot simply take one step back and needs to be sure that the vehicle is standing still. You stop before the crossing, without driving onto it, and wait until the person in the wheelchair has passed your path and the traffic island. The driver of the minibus coming from the opposite direction has the same duty in his lane. You signal in advance that you are stopping by braking gently, so that the driver behind you has time to react.
