I went to the Franco-Croatian symposium on climate change for the second day primarily, if not only, because I wanted to hear what the Croatian minister of the environment, Mihael Zmajlović, had to say. As well as to see how he would go about it, too. He was to be the first speaker of the day. By the way, he was the government official to whom I had sent my proposal concerning disaster management a couple of days ago (“Disaster Management in Croatia: Proposal to the Croatian Government for Paris Climate Talks,” October 1, 2015). At any rate, he never appeared at the symposium. The missing minister sent someone else to say a few nice words to the audience. His replacement spoke for three minutes exactly. And that was that as far as the government was concerned. This was quite a slap to the organizers, and especially the French embassy in Zagreb. Alas, that is the Croatian government at its best. No price for guessing what will become of my proposal to the government. The garbage bin is its rightful place, to be sure.
