It's simply something so tiny and irrelevant (unless you have a special interest in libertarian experiments) that it doesn't warrant major or minor media articles - from the pictures it looks like the officials enforced a building regulations issue for 2-3 tiny cottages/sheds that somehow involved (but clearly couldn't house) a community of 19 people. Like, that's not news - the outcome of that thing was as expected, no surprises there and such things are routine - every day there are multiple building code enforcements on larger, more significant buildsites. Why should general media care about this one in particular?
I'd assert that demolishing some illegally built sheds in the backyard of some locally popular actor, politician or businessman (I'd assume Croatia has hundreds people each of whom are more widely known there than Liberland is) would be far more newsworthy than this, but still likely not newsworthy enough for most media, perhaps only as a filler for some celebrity gossip yellow press.

Something happens outside of a major city where nobody was seriously injured, no public figures explicitly involved, or there were no major crimes commited - it's very unlikely it'll end up in the news. I'm 100% sure if this happened near some major city, it would be top 5 news item of that day. But alas, it happened in the middle of nowhere, so it kind of not happened if you get my meaning.
