Croatia's flag is designed in the pan-Slavic colours, red, white and blue. The red and white checks in the arms are traditional emblems of Croatia and the small blue shields at the top represent the five regions.
In Zagreb Ardvanderlinden asked for permission to paint on the main square, Jelacic trg. After a long procedure the city council refused, because of the elections. In our opinion elections are a very good moment to think about "unity through identity"! So we went to Tomislavov square, opposite the main railway station to make a field of 700 painted Croatian flags. We handed out flags and discussed with many people about identity. In general people agreed with our message "unity through identity", but at the same time people experience how hard it is to realize in their country. Croatia declared independency in 1991, unfortunately a lot of things didn't change in the last 2 decades. Among the reactions:
"You are doing a great job, someone has to do it from the bottom of the heart. That is how the system works."
"I like our flag; if you see the colours, the heart joys"
"Is still someone thinking about unity in the world? Good Luck!"
Meanwhile we were noticed by national newspapers and we explained our message. Croatian photographer Luka Kedzo made photos of this event.
