== Croatian tourism industry lobby conspiracy theories == 
 Regarding this vandalism that last a way to long... 

 The reference given was web address http://www.business-magazin.info/index.php?option=com_content&task;=view&id;=1570&Itemid;=2 so let me translate some text form there: 

 Croatian: 

 Državni tajnik za turizam Zdenko Mičić upozorio je na negativnu kampanju Hrvatske kroz jumbo plakate 'Pazi mine', koji su trenutno postavljeni u svim eminentnim trajektnim lukama i na mjestima gdje opasnost od mina ne postoji te je najavio akciju skidanja plakata do početka turističke sezone.  

 English: 

 Croatian tourism minister Zdenko Mičić warned on campaign of jumbo - posters regarding mines that can be seen in all ports and in all various places where there are no rwal threat of mines. He announced removing posters before the tourist season. 

 That's all. So much about "powerful Croatian tourism industry lobby". 

 To say that tourist industry is at odds with the minefield awareness programme is proposterous because just one dead tourist could ruin a 15- years long posotove development.  

 I live in Split, Croatia, I'v lived in Split throught entire war and I've never in my entire life seen someone killed in a war. I've never seen a landmine.  

 It is stupid to put mines warning 100 km from minefield because it just doesn't help anyone. Tourists already knows that we had war here, and they know that mines are somewhere in Croatia, so big mine warning sign on completely wrong place is of no use.  

 All mine fields are in hinterland, far from hotels and beaches, and they are properly marked and outside of tourist areas. It is important to know that not one tourist died from mines in Croatia after the war, aldo we didn't have stupid jumbo posters all over the place. So, why put it now, and in wrong places? 

 All this conspiracy theory campaign is led by few people that just hate to see Croatia gainig popularity among tourists.
