CROATIA: Courting the EU

On the outskirts of Labin, a once booming mining town, stands an elevator to an underground mining shaft. On top of the elevator sits the name Tito, beloved President of communist Yugoslavia after the Second World War. "I lived in Yugoslavia. We had not such nice cars but you worked your eight hours and then your time was free. Now this so-called capitalism, I think it is not so human. I don’t think Tito was the dictator they say he is," says Goran Domazet who runs a pet shop at the base of the structure.The city plans to turn the structure into an art installation.
