"Do not believe Croatian press, their standards are very low and the game is to entertain and primarily control. "
Could not agree more. Though doubt the EU will make much difference but maybe some readers of the Sun and the Mirror in the UK would beg to differ?

I did not mean that press will go any better, but simple business reporting should be fixed - simple data like how many properties has been sold and how much in tax was raised, publicly available and not selectively leaked or purely fabricated thru the party controlled outlets.

I seem to remember it was only a short time ago the the UK government admitted it did not know how many foreign nationals were in the UK, although I think they have now got to grips with the numbers paying NI. I somehow don't think that the EU will make a lot of difference to stats that are always skewed by the politics involved as Irac has mentioned elsewhere.

I bet there's more than 70k foreigners in my average size town.

It is already a huge step acknowledging that you do not know – imagine a Croat telling you “Sorry I do not know” ? |
