Almost five months ago the court informed me that the mayor of Motovun had won his case against me concerning so-called insult (“Crooked Golf,” June 29, 2011). A fortnight later I understood that my payment of some three-thousand euros for this heinous crime was to be delivered in six months at most even though I was appealing this decision to the highest court in Croatia (“Weirder than Hell,” July 14, 2011). Now I have a bit more than a month left for the payment, but I still do not have any idea about how to deliver it to the mayor. The court is silent. My lawyer is silent, as well. He apparently assumes that I must know the law almost as well as he does, and so he does not respond to my anxious electronic-mail messages concerning this matter. By and by, I am getting really anxious. I am perfectly happy to follow the decision of the court, but I do not understand the law. What should I do? Should I wait until I get fined for not delivering the payment to the mayor? Or should I chase the mayor around Motovun to deliver the money in cash? As I have already warned anyone who thinks about moving to Croatia, this country is weirder than hell. Much weirder than hell, in fact. And it surely takes a whole bunch of lawyers on your side to figure out what to do in dire straights. One of them might even respond to your missives. Given my own experience, moving to Croatia is a big mistake in the first place.
