CroatiaA bizarre neighbor dispute in Gornja Podgora recently reached a judicial conclusion at the Municipal Court in Makarska, where three neighbors were declared guilty and fined. The conflict stemmed from a long-standing land dispute. The incident began when spouses S.K. and I.K. discovered a pile of earth marked 'private property' with a large wooden cross in front of their garage. When S.K. took a broom to clear a path for a chlorine delivery truck, neighbor B.M. arrived by motorcycle. A physical altercation ensued, during which the older couple was beaten. The situation escalated further when another neighbor, I.Š., entered the yard with a disarmed pistol, claiming he received it personally from General Janko Bobetka. At trial, B.M. defended himself by stating that the couple had tried to take the land he had legally purchased and registered under his name. Both parties provided conflicting accounts of the events, with S.K. claiming he was attacked without provocation and that B.M. verbally threatened him with violence.
