Croatia is a land of law. And no kidding. Everything is done in accordance with the law. Which can be proved in the court of law. No two Croats would do anything together any longer without going to a notary public first. Signed statements mean absolutely nothing nowadays, for the courts no longer recognize them. As such, the signature is history in Croatia. Which is why notary public offices can be found everywhere as of late. And everywhere is the word. There are signs on every corner with arrows pointing toward the nearest one. Most important, every agreement between two Croats now bears not only the stamp and signature of a notary public, but also their addresses and personal identification numbers. There is no kidding in Croatia any more. It is a land of law, and zillions of notary public’s offices are here to prove it. Law, and nothing but law. Amen.
