 Croatia, the Next Greece
"Hence, the HDZ has branded her “an enemy of the state.” Nearly two dozen of her party’s members and supporters have been harassed and intimidated by HDZ and leftist officials. Recently, Aleksandar Radovic, a candidate for Croatia 21st Century and a well-known anti-corruption author, was arrested by government authorities. His crime: He had extensively documented the vast illicit wealth and corruption of Interior Minister Tomislav Karamarko - a thug who uses the police as his personal henchmen. Mr. Radovic is rotting in jail, a political prisoner in a supposedly democratic country."

Brussels-Based Media Group EUobserver Features Op-Ed Co-Authored by Adriatic Institute's Co-Founders - Croatia Needs More EU Pressure on Justice and Fundamental Rights "The nation's recent display of a few politicians arrested for corruption has not led to final court rulings. It demonstrates the severity of Croatia's problem with a majority of former and current politicians accused of corruption, untouched." 
Jadranka Kosor Osnivači Adriatic Instituta Nataša Srdoč i Joel Anand Samy napisali su komentar za Euobserver u kojem su se osvrnuli na pristupne pregovore između Hrvatske i EU koji su ušli u finalnu fazu.
Kritiziraju aktualnu premijerku Jadranku Kosor i njen plan dovršetka pristupnih pregovora s EU na uštrb implementacije bitnih reformi. "Ništa se nije promijenilo od prošlog studenog kada je izvješće EU o napretku Hrvatske isticalo nedostatak sudskih presuda u slučajevima korupcije i konkretni rezultati u istragama visoke korupcije", dodaju autori komentara NEISKREN pristup u rješavanju hrvatskih problema prijeti kredibilitetu Europske unije i njezinoj politici proširenja, stoji u tekstu Adriatic Instituta.

Arab revolts spread to Europe - Washington Times March 10, 2011 - The Arab freedom wave has now hit the shores of Europe and in the most unlikely of places: the Balkans. Croatia, an Adriatic nation that straddles the civilizational fault line between Central Europe and the Balkans, has been seething with public unrest and protests.
The Washington Times:
"Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor says she is different from her predecessor, Mr. Sanader. She vows to clean up the political cesspool and kick-start the sluggish economy. And she claims to have a silver bullet: EU membership. Ms. Kosor is wrong. She is a venal, vacuous politician, desperately clinging to power. She must call national elections by the end of this year or early 2012 at the latest. Every poll shows the HDZ will get trounced. She wants to complete the EU accession negotiations and then portray the HDZ as the “party of Europe.”
Yet this strategy represents the final betrayal of Croatia. Mrs. Kosor has been intimately involved with the ruling HDZ clique - its corruption, state-sanctioned theft and vast nomenklatura. She is not a modernizer or moderate reformer; rather, she is a power-hungry apparat-chik who seeks to preserve the HDZ’s parasitical regime. Mrs. Kosor and her party have bled Croatia white. They now hope to devour the billions they believe will be coming in future EU subsidies. It is larceny masquerading as foreign policy." Full text
