I cannot judge how today’s press conference in Pula will be judged by those who learn about it through the media, or how many of them will eventually choose to come to my trial at the end of this week, but I will remember it by a phrase that I repeated several times during the proceedings: “I feel like Alice in Wonderland!” That phrase felt almost soothing whenever I invoked it, too. It felt like truth itself. It illustrated my situation better than any long-winded explanation, no matter how carefully thought out or how well phrased. Yes, I now feel like Alice in Wonderland. What will the Queen do next? Where is that silly old Rabbit? Will I have another chance to talk to the wise Caterpillar? Can I trust the Mad Hatter? How in the world can the King of Hearts ever serve as a judge? The Croatian legal system in a nutshell.
