Thus a large sign in English carried by four people protesting a new development in the heart of Zagreb, which boasts of a grand opening today. The lettering is Roman to boot. Together with many others around them, the protesters are reminding everyone who is coming to the opening of all the shenanigans that accompany real estate development in this city and country. For good measure, Coruptia can be read not only as Croatia, but also as Corinthia, the seat of the Hypo Alpe Adria Bank in Austria. Apparently, this crafty bank has been deeply involved in the development now opening in the Croatian capital. And much else across the land. The misspelling of Latin notwithstanding, all the other misspellings are well taken. Corruption is the name of the game in this region. Since Roman times, too.
