The Croatian government, formally led by Tihomir Oresković but with Tomislav Karamarko and Božo Petrov in the role of deus ex machina, has decided to stifle civil society in Croatia. In this context can be interpreted the crackdown by the Minister of Culture Hasanbegović, who curtailed the Commission for non-profit media in the past months. Now, the government has decided to drastically reduce the financial resources to support civil society.
