  1. The national government also sent the police to the HQ of the party that runs the city. Supposedly a bomb threat.

  2. Ok, if anyone actually gives a fuck about bullshit in Croatia, here’s an actual breakdown:

    Croatian Handball team won the Bronze medal at the world championship. As is tradition in Croatia, this pretty much makes them the national heroes for a week or two. This also traditionally means a big party is thrown at the main square in the capital city of Zagreb.

    The players requested that the controversial musician Thompson perform at the gathering. Thompson’s music is very nationalistic in its themes, and at times he touches on a shameful fascist period of Croatian history. Not all of his fans are fascists, but pretty much all croatian fascists are his fans.

    The mayor and city authorities (which are very left leaning) have refused to allow Thompson to sing.

    In response, the Handball team canceled the welcome home party.

    In response to that, the Prime Minister came out and said the welcoming party will be held in the capital, despite the mayor saying no, and that Thompson will sing. This is unconstitutional and outright illegal.

    Currently, the situation is developing, with threats being leveled at the mayor of Zagreb and his party, as well as a police raid of their party headquarters.

    It’s not good, is what I’m saying.

  3. Changing the subject a little but the Croatian players were super disrespectful to the queen of Denmark. She was handing out the medals and half of them just ignored her and wouldn’t shake her hand. Not cool Croatia.

  4. As a Croatian I am most ashamed that all of this is over a bronze medal in a sport as insignificant as handball!! Ffs a bronze medal!

    We used to have standards and great athletes now we celebrate a bronze in handball.
    Once a great sporting nation truly decaying now.
    Theres practically nothing left in Croatian sports.
    Once Modric retires RIP Croatian sports.

  5. Thompson, as in “Bojna Čavoglave” Thompson? I didn’t even knew the guy was still alive, nor still having a career and fans. Big yikes by the government of Croatia.

  6. This is why Croatia and eastern Europe cannot be allowed in the EU

  7. Meh, tell us something new. The glorification of war crimes and associated criminals is nothing new in the Balkans. Baja, Thompson, etc are still very popular in their respective nationalities and no one really cares

  9. Everyone is a fascist now. Like wtf is going on in this world?

  11. The left-wing option is predominant here, and everyone who is not left-wing is a fascist, a Nazi…

  12. A počelo je plakanje po europi ustaše kolju s pjesmom ha ha ha.

  13. These countries really love authoritarianism for some reason. Guess they miss Yugoslavia.

  14. As a Croat living in Zagreb, I can’t believe the shit that is going on in the last couple of months. I really feel very ashamed and bit scared for our future.
