Dispute between Croatia and Slovenia is, as times go by, getting nastier and nastier. Relations between two nations, who were, until very recently, supposed to be natural allies, have sunk to levels that could easily compare to relations between Croatia and Serbia in early 1990s.
Probably nothing shows how situation deteriorated than this column by eminent Croatian journalist Boris Dežulović. Former member of famous Feral Tribune trio and hardly a nationalist, Dežulović can't avoid being disturbed with similarities between today's Slovenia and Serbia under Milošević.
If someone enlightened like Dežulović comes to such conclusions, it is easy to imagine how the escalating conflict would look to the great unwashed masses on the southern side of Croatian-Slovenian border. Especially with combination of economic crisis and ruling party willing to embrace atavistic chauvinism in order to cling to power.
