Right in the center of Zagreb I saw a man in his late twenties or early thirties wearing a T-shirt with an enormous “U” printed on the chest. It could not be bigger and remain legible at the same time. In the Croatian capital, this letter has only one possible reading: Ustasha. Ustashas were the World War II Croatian fascists of some renown. And this display of affection takes place on the very day the European Union is supposed to declare the country’s date of accession. Now that Croatia is almost a member, it is time to let it rip. And rip it surely will. T-shirts with an enormous “U” printed on the chest will become ever more popular in these parts. Ustasha organizations will spring back to life. Dressed in black and wearing their beloved symbol on their military hats, they will parade around Zagreb and many other cities with gusto. There will be applause for them, too. At first it will be subdued, but it will get boisterous soon. Whence this awful prediction, though? Only look at rampant fascist organizations in Hungary and Slovakia next door, for instance. And they are squarely in the blessed Union for many years already.
