Linos-Alexandre Sicilianos, President, Ksenija Turković, Aleš Pejchal, Krzysztof Wojtyczek, Pauliine Koskelo, Tim Eicke, Jovan Ilievski, judges, and Abel Campos, Section Registrar,
"Judge of the Zadar County Court B.B. came to congratulate S. on starting a daily newspaper. Even though that is not allowed under [...] the Code of Judicial Ethics because of the potential conflict of interest, B. nevertheless stopped by for a drink with his acquaintance from old times.
B.'s arrival would have gone unnoticed had this judge not become 'famous' [even] outside Croatia's borders by illegally signing a warrant to search [the premises of] Narodni List . On the basis of that authorisation a herd of policemen raided [the premises of] Narodni List looking for photos of his colleague, Judge S.-K. That [set] a precedent unknown in western democracies.
What B. is doing in journalistic circles is known only to the crew around S. In the western world journalists put such judges in the pillory."
