Boasting of fancy shops, even fancier penthouse apartments, and an ample public garage, the biggest development in the center of Zagreb is nearing completion. The shops and the garage opened first, for that is where the return will come from, but the apartments are almost there, as well. Although the developer ended up in jail, albeit for other reasons, his fine touch can be felt even today. Three huge flags have suddenly appeared on one of the buildings facing a busy pedestrian street. In the middle is the flag of Croatia, it goes without saying. To one side is the flag of Zagreb. And to the other is the flag of the European Union. The developer must be proud. Much of the money for the project came from the Union, and he has had a good deal of help from the governments of Croatia and its capital. I can imagine many people smiling at the developer’s fine touch. The government officials who have helped him with the project may soon help him out of jail. He has killed two people by sheer negligence. What the heck.
