a new state on the west bank of the
Danube, it's reported.
Vit Jedlicka, a member of the Eurosceptic,
conservative Party of Free Citizens, has
declared that a 7-sq-km (2.7-sq-mile)
patch between Serbia and Croatia is now
the sovereign state of Liberland. Mr
Jedlicka, Liberland's self-proclaimed
"president", says it sits on an area of no-
man's land - or terra nullius - between the
two countries which isn't claimed by either
of them.
He has been doing the rounds in the
Czech media, telling the Parlamentni
Listy website that he's received support
from "across the entire political spectrum"
in his home country. So far almost none of
the coverage has questioned whether
Liberland is actually just a publicity stunt,
although the Czech TN news website
notes: "It's not entirely clear to what
extent the activists are being serious, but
they have turned up at the location of their
'state', where they have raised the flag."
As well as the flag, Liberland has a motto -
"To live and let live" - and a website
inviting people to apply for citizenship. Its
founders say they want a country without
"unnecessary restrictions and taxes", but
make clear that communists, Nazis and
other extremists need not apply. Mr
Jedlicka says he has received hundreds of
applications from people wanting
citizenship, although currently the
population stands at seven.

So what do you think NSG?I feel angry beacuse I wanted to make a state there
.Apparently he wants the state to be a libertarian paradise and to look like Hong Kong all in a course of 10 years (according to the facebook page).And personally I think this will work and will help both Serbs and Croats in some way.
