Letters: Croatian perspectives
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.SARAH HELM paints a one-sided and depressing picture of Croatia and its capital city that is very different from my experience. One might criticise the amount of Croatian pride being reflected in the media but considering that they have relieved the 1,000-day siege of Bihac, where people were dying of malnutrition, and recovered a third of their country that had been under the control of armed Serbian extremists since 1991 then this pride is surely as understandable as that shown recently in our own VE and VJ Day celebrations.
