I have spent most of the day inviting all and sundry to my trial at the Municipal Court in Pazin, which will take place on Friday, January 16, at nine o’clock. In addition to all sorts of environmental activists in Croatia and abroad, I contacted the leading Croatian newspapers, and asked them to send their journalists to Pazin. As a matter of course, I copied the Croatian prime minister and the governor of Istria, as well. For better or worse, I have no contacts in Croatian television companies. My invitation has gone out by electronic mail, and it is my hope that a couple of key websites will pick it up within a day or two. If everything goes well, the World Wide Web will triumph one more time in this backward political environment. As the traditional media are under the thumb of politicians at all levels of government, this is our only hope. And this is precisely why the Croatian politicians have recently turned tooth and nail against the World Wide Web. It is the remaining thorn in their hide.
