Lawyer Veljko Miljević told the newspaper that the government was authorized to place the signs, and that those who removed and destroyed them "did something that is illegal," but believes that the suspects may claim that they had "no illegal awareness because of all the circumstances that accompany this situation."
Eh? People are destroying or removing official signs, and claim not to be aware that this is not legal? What kind of lawyer is that? *shakehead*
But, it added, it is "still unclear whether the bilingual inscriptions will remain on state institutions, and if their removal and destruction constituted a criminal offense."
Yes and yes. Croatia is in the EU now. As such, it needs to behave like the civilized society its leaders constantly purport it to be. If a segment of the Domovina's population are that emotionally caught up in defending today what they couldn't defend as "war veterans" 20 years ago, only this time in the benign form of an alphabet, then Croatia's got far bigger problems than I thought.
