2023 October 14, Feđa Gavrilović, “Zabranjeni trg”, in Jutarnji list, number 9039, Zagreb, page 15:Oduzeti građanima trg [...] znak je potpune odvojenosti vladajuće elite od naroda i od onoga što bi republika trebala značiti, već prema samom korijenu te riječi (otvorite Klaića ako ste toliko zabrazdili u hrvatskoj političkoj svakodnevici da ste to zaboravili).- To take the public square away from the citizens is a sign of the ruling elite's complete disconnect from the people and from what a republic should signify, by the very root of that word (open a Klaić if you've ended up stuck so deep in Croatian political humdrum to the point of forgetting it).
