evidence: Back in September, State Property Minister Goran Marić visited Konavle and announced the state might soon leave Prevlaka Fortress in the hands of the Municipality of Konavle. [...] "Prevlaka is a symbol of Croatian history, defiance and pride. It will now become a gathering point for our friends from the municipality, the County and DPDS. This association knows how to preserve Croatian history, but also how to create new values", said Minister Marić, adding that the state is handing over the fortress hoping it will become the southernmost gate of Croatia, opening our country to the world.
