Lukning af en radiostation og et dagblad, forbud mod, at etniske og sproglige mindretal hævder deres rettigheder og giver udtryk for deres tanker, og forfalskning af valgreglerne viser, at den kroatiske regering endnu har lang vej at tilbagelægge, førend den kan kalde sig virkelig demokratisk.
Closing down a radio station and a newspaper, prohibiting ethnic and linguistic minorities from asserting their rights and expressing their identities, and falsifying the rules of the electoral game all indicate that the Croatian Government still has a long way to go before it can truly call itself democratic.
