It's only terra nullius because Croatia considers it to be Serbian territory according to its interpretation of the border, while Serbia is fine with it being part of Croatia according to their interpretation. Croatia claiming the territory would undermine their claim on much bigger land parcels now administered by Serbia.
But that's de jure. De facto, it's part of Croatia, and as a basic national security issue Croatia isn't interested in letting squatters have free reign on a parcel of land adjacent to their border.
- mistrial9 3y agocan you say more about the 20th century involvement of Sweden, their government and bureaucracy, in re-shaping the Balkans since 1970 or so ? (all new to me, news media seems filled with ads)
- gerikson 3y agoSorry, not my area of expertise. I do know that parts of Swedish foreign aid is in the form of building public institutions, reforming tax collection, etc.
- pjc50 3y agoSweden?? And surely the start date has to be 1991?
- mistrial9 3y agono, certainly ten years+ after that series.. Is it unusual that the Swedish wrote documents, also published in English, documenting the forest and natural species of the range of mountains in the South West of the Balkans. Those documents were later used as part of a declaration headed by an American group. Real estate sales is also listed, along with the "pristine" nature. Somehow, the nature preserves are not respected now?
