In your article on the European Union’s enlargement troubles you report that the Union’s last progress report states that Croatia is not yet ready for accession (“Post-Enlargement Stress,” November 10, 2007). In particular, you quote the report that “the concept of conflict of interest is little understood” and that “organized crime remains a big concern” in Croatia. Now, both the report and your reporting show deep misunderstanding of Croatia. In fact, the state is firmly based on harmony of interests, thus being an organized state. What is wrong, for instance, when a minister employs a company of which he or she is a major shareholder? Or what is wrong when a company offers its shares to a minister on very favorable terms? Such instances only show pervasive harmony of interests. And what is wrong when an entire government operates thus? This only shows it is a fully-fledged organized state. In such a state, harmony of interests is the underlying constitutional principle. It applies from top to bottom of society. If there are still some conflicts of interest outstanding, or if there are still some criminal activities in society, harmonization will soon proceed to their full organization by the state. See?
