“To be direct,” writes one of the international journalists I have contacted a while ago in connection with the Motovun golf scam, “my editors are not interested in the story.” Even I am taken aback. “My story has to do with topmost Croatian politicians,” I keep insisting. No answer. “Croatia?” I can almost hear the editors from London and New York. “Fuck Croatia!” In short, topmost Croatian politicians are free to do whatever they wish in this kleptocracy among kleptocracies. And I bet they know it, too. The world entire is at their mercy.
