“Many of the evolving economies are having their very stability threatened by rampant corruption. Croatia and the election where 1 million illegal votes were cast in a population of only 4 million people. Hold another election or no entry into Europe. The corruption within the government of Ukraine probably played a major role in destabilizing that country. Make international aid subject to conditions of lawfulness. The populations of these countries are being starved of resources, investment and jobs by this illicit activity creating a fertile climate for unrest.” — Hon. Maurice McTigue, QSO, US Senate Briefing

US and EU taxpayer funds— sustain corrupt networks in the City of Rijeka — and block legitimate private investments.
European Union (EU) and US taxpayer funds, kleptocracy and money laundering have kept two mayors in the city of Rijeka in power for the last 30 years. These mayors have made the City of Rijeka entirely dependent on free money (US and EU taxpayer grants), cheap money (US and Europe’s taxpayer loans via the World Bank) and stolen monies (money laundering of illicit gains). The construction company GP Krk does all the construction for the old boys’ network.
Inadvertently, the unintended consequences of the EU and US “free and cheap money (taxpayer funds)” in Croatia are the further erosion of…
