You shouldn't go that far in the past. I could find more suitable POD in
late 1990s. Few years ago Croatian press reported about secret meetings
between representatives of Czech and Croatian government. Czechs
apparently proposed that few strips of Adriatic coast, containing camps
almost exclusively visted by Czech tourists during summers, become
sovereign Czech territory in exchange for hefty financial compensation.
The reason for that proposal was widespread custom of Czech tourists to
fill the trunks of their cars with food and drink bought in Czech
Republic in order to evade buying said goods on local Croatian markets.
Czech enclaves on Adriatic were supposed to allow Czechs to enjoy local
cuisine at Czech prices (which were much lower than in Croatia).
However, Croatian government rejected the deal, mostly due to Tudjman
being unwilling to sell off chunks of Croatian territory, or, to be
precise, unable to present this to Croatian public as a triumph of his
statesman's genius.
