Actually, I'm more encouraged than dismayed, believe it or not. Big change from my old time there when there would have been no probe at all, and the coroner would have messed up the body enough to make sure no one ever got anything from it if there ever was an investigation (been there, seen that, wish I hadn't). Perhaps the demise of Tudjman and the NDZ's loss of power has made a difference after all, and decent Croats are getting the chance to make their country, well, decent, again.
Anyway, I was dreading reading the article at first just in case it was someone I knew (or, Heaven forbid, even someone I was responsible for returning). Then, when reading, my second thought was "Benkovac?!? Benkovac?!? Was he crazy to return to THAT place or what?" Nearly every place in the world has its share of inbred rednecks, but Benkovac has more than its share.
I am sorry for the man's death, of course, but I'm encouraged to learn that rule of law is again pressing, even in the likes of Benkovac. That bodes well for Croatia as a whole.
