The verdict of the highest court in Croatia concerning the made-up insult lawsuit lodged against me by the mayor of Motovun is still pending. My letter to the president of that court remains unanswered after three months (“Vugrinec versus Bon: A Letter to the President of the Constitutional Court of Croatia Jasna Omejec,” July 18, 2012). I have received a speedy reply to my letter to the European Union’s commissioner for justice, but it has apparently missed its mark (“My Basic Human Rights: A Letter to the European Union Vice President and Commissioner Viviane Reding,” September 17, 2012). In particular, I was told point blank by her cabinet that Croatia is not yet a full member of the Union, and that it is therefore not under their jurisdiction. But I am ever more sure that I know why I am still waiting for the decision of the highest court in Croatia. As I have been very clear about my intention to go to Strasbourg with my final appeal, I will have to wait for the verdict until after the country joins the Union as a full member. Before the accession, Strasbourg would be yet another embarrassment for Croatia, for the international court would have to address my claim of rampant political repression in this country. The systematic abuse of the law concerning libel and insult is an issue that goes to the heart of the political system in this country. To wit, my appeal would be a personal affair only after the accession. It would lose its political bite. Quod erat demonstrandum.
