Liberland - new micronation created out of Serbia-Croatia border dispute


The Ministry of External Affairs of Patria welcomes a new member of the micronational community: the Free Republic of Liberland, which came into existence earlier this month due to a border dispute between Croatia and Serbia. This area along the west bank of the Danube river is not claimed by Croatia, Serbia or any other country. It was therefore terra nullius, a no man’s land, until Czech activist Vít Jedlička, a member of the Czech Republic's libertarian Party of Free Citizens, seized the opportunity and on 13 April 2015 formed a new state in this territory – Liberland. The boundary was defined so as not to interfere with the territory of Croatia or Serbia. Its total area is approximately 7 square kilometers. The motto of Liberland is “To live and let live” because Liberland prides itself on personal and economic freedom of its people.
