Happy New Year, Liberlanders! 2025 was a historic year for liberty, but we are just getting started. Greengs fellow liberlanders and all freedom loving people of the world. Happy New Year 2026! 2025 was an extraordinary year, not just for Liberland but for everybody that believes in liberty There were some major successes for the freedom movement. I'm happy that Javier Milei, our citizen, has been leading the country towards more prosperous future.  And that people like Petr Macinka and, other famous Liberland citizens have become a foreign minister of the Czech Republic.  I believe these victories are our path towards a global recognition. Somaliland, that was the first country to recognize Liberland via a memorandum of understanding in 2017, has recently became recognized country.  Liberland will be recognized mainly for our adherence to principles of liberty, for the free markets, but also for our implementation of blockchain governance. I'm more than proud to announce that the elections of Liberland have been recently concluded and Justin Sun has become again Prime Minister of Liberland. We're proud to have him as he is the founder of Tron blockchain ecosystem, one of the key financial elements in the modern world.  Liberland is building its own blockchain and its own bridges to the centralized ecosystems. In 2026, we are going to focus on making sure that these bridges are fundamentally built and that Liberlanders are able to establish new companies as decentralized autonomous organizations. We're also going to focus on centralized banking solutions with Liberland pay that will be working hands in hand to make Liberland a reality.  In 2026, I believe we have a chance to reach 1 million applicants for citizenship. We have a chance again to double Liberland budget and make sure that Liberlanders bring a lot of value not just globally but also locally into the region around Liberland.  We're announcing a 40 million dollar investment plan for the Baranja region. Both Serbia and Croatia will profit from our presence. Looking forward to build a new country, with you, with your support and with your enthusiasm. Happy New Year 2026.

06 January 2026, Liberland - ​​Liberland will participate in the 2026 Davos Forum at the Abraham House, a platform dedicated to global dialogue and cultural exchange. This collaboration provides an opportunity to present a working model of liberty, merging individual sovereignty with practical governance. Abraham House serves as a forum to connect traditional values with innovative approaches, highlighting the convergence of culture, governance, and freedom. On January 20th, Liberland will host “Liberland Day,” featuring a sovereign state briefing by President Vít Jedlička. The address will cover diplomatic developments, the implementation of decentralized governance, and Liberland’s evolving economic framework. Alongside the briefing, a diplomatic reception will bring together global leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss practical approaches to sovereignty, economic freedom, and citizen empowerment. In line with Liberland’s meritocratic principles, a speaking slot will be reserved for a citizen project. All citizens are invited to submit initiatives, ventures, or protocols that align with the values of individual liberty and viability. Three projects will be selected, with one presented on the Davos stage. Those who become new citizens in time for the event are also eligible to submit a project and compete for this speaking opportunity. This approach embodies the nation’s commitment to empowering individuals to represent the collective, turning sovereignty from theory into practice.

The Free Republic of Liberland has officially ratified the results of the December 2025 Congressional elections, marking another successful deployment of our proprietary public blockchain for national governance. Voters delivered a decisive victory for Prime Minister Justin Sun, affirming his vision for the world’s first blockchain-powered state. Under his continued leadership, Liberland remains dedicated to pioneering Web3 innovation and decentralized finance, securing its status as a beacon of technological sovereignty. The election results confirm a Congress that brings together experienced leaders and new members. Prominent leaders successfully defended their seats, including Minister of Finance Navid Saberin, Secretary of State Tariq Abbasi, Minister of Justice Michal Ptacnik, and Dorian J. Stern Vukotic. They are joined by newly elected members Joey Langenbrunner and Balazs Magyar, both of whom have served as Liberland representatives for many years and bring distinguished backgrounds to the assembly.  Joseph “Joey” Langenbrunner, a veteran Liberland diplomat, entrepreneur, and strategic advisor in the investment migration and blockchain space. Balazs Magyar, one of Liberland’s earliest supporters and a long-standing representative in Hungary, an electrical engineer and licensed pilot, is the founder and CEO of Skyhawk Aviation. Underpinned by the Liberland Merit (LLM) system, this process exemplifies our model of hyperdemocracy—a governance structure where individual contributions directly translate into political influence. With this new assembly in place, Liberland advances its core mission: fostering a borderless society built on liberty and innovation.

In 2025, Liberland stepped decisively onto the world stage. From global capitals and major conferences to new settlements on the ground and even a historic journey into space, the year marked a turning point in visibility, credibility and momentum. With landmark achievements such as the expansion of the Liberland dollar, the unanimous passage of the Citizenship Law, and Liberland’s flag reaching the Moon, the nation continued its evolution from a daring concept into a living international project with growing global reach. In 2025, Liberland continued to mature from a bold idea into a visible and active international project, with a year marked by steady growth, international visibility and deeper community roots. Liberland representatives and leaders were active around the world, from Washington, Davos, Hong Kong, and Dubai to Singapore, Mongolia and Shanghai, while activity on the ground also increased with new settlement waves and activities at Ark Liberland Village and Liberty Island. The year brought several standout moments, including the expansion of the Liberland Dollar, the unanimous passage of the Citizenship Law, and the symbolic delivery of Liberland’s flag to the Moon. Liberland also made history when Prime Minister Justin Sun became the first head of state to travel to space. Throughout the year, Liberland leaders spoke at major conferences on blockchain, digital governance, and voluntary societies, opened new representative offices, and strengthened ties with liberty-minded communities. Liberland celebrated its 10th anniversary, hosted cultural, scientific, and social events, advanced regional investment plans, and continued to call for dialogue and cooperation in the region. 2025 has been a year of growing confidence, visibility and momentum.

Liberland has long understood the legitimacy and potential of Somaliland. We are proud to have been among the early partners of the Republic of Somaliland, having signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 25 September 2017, in Berbera. That agreement, which established cooperation in the fields of technology, energy, and banking, was built on our shared values of liberty, innovation, and mutual respect for statehood. Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Free Republic of Liberland Date: 26 December 2025 Subject: Liberland Welcomes Israel’s Historic Recognition of the Republic of Somaliland Liberty Island, Liberland / Hargeisa – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Free Republic of Liberland warmly welcomes the historic announcement made today by the State of Israel regarding its official recognition of the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state. We extend our deepest congratulations to President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, the government, and the people of Somaliland on this monumental diplomatic breakthrough. This development is a triumph for the principles of self-determination, sovereignty, and the undeniable right of a people to chart their own destiny. Liberland has long understood the legitimacy and potential of Somaliland. We are proud to have been among the early partners of the Republic of Somaliland, having signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 25 September 2017, in Berbera. That agreement, which established cooperation in the fields of technology, energy, and banking, was built on our shared values of liberty, innovation, and mutual respect for statehood. Today’s recognition by Israel—a nation that serves as a beacon of innovation and resilience—validates the path that Somaliland has steadfastly walked for over three decades. It affirms that stability, democratic governance, and the rule of law are the true markers of sovereignty, far more than mere historical inertia. The Free Republic of Liberland views this event as a positive precedent for the international community. It signals a shifting paradigm where the reality of functioning, peaceful, and free states is acknowledged over obsolete political maps. We hope this admirable move by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government will inspire other nations to update their foreign policies to reflect the realities of the 21st century. We reaffirm our commitment to our ongoing partnership with Somaliland and look forward to deepening our diplomatic and economic ties as Somaliland takes its rightful place on the world stage. Thomas Walls Minister of Foreign Affairs H.E. Vít Jedlička President The Free Republic of Liberland

23 December 2025, Liberland – The Free Republic of Liberland has unveiled the world’s first realized system of meritocratic governance implemented through blockchain technology, marking a shift from political theory to real-world application. The announcement followed Liberland’s First Constitutional Convention on 19 December at Le Palais Art Hotel in Prague, attended by Liberland citizens, international guests, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and media. The event featured a public reading of Liberland’s proposed Constitution and a press conference led by President Vít Jedlička alongside legal scholars Stephan Kinsella and Alessandro Fusillo. Among the main guests was political philosopher and critic of totalitarian ideologies and communism Hans Hermann Hoppe, whose participation highlighted the broader ideological significance of the milestone. The gathering also celebrated major developments for Liberland in 2025, including the appointment of Liberland citizen Petr Macinka as the new Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic (also serving as interim Minister of the Environment). This positions him, after Argentine President Javier Milei, as the second most prominent Liberlander in an active high-level government role worldwide—a powerful testament to the global reach of Liberland's freedom-oriented principles. Attention was also given to the successful official visit of Liberland’s Prime Minister Justin Sun to Pakistan. Liberland’s blockchain-based meritocratic system allocates decision-making power based on contribution and responsibility rather than political popularity, embedding governance into transparent and secure digital infrastructure. By implementing meritocracy at the state level, Liberland positions itself at the forefront of constitutional and administrative innovation in the digital age.

Liberland is introducing a modern, practical way to resolve disputes: the Marketplace of Judges — a flexible judicial system designed for the digital age, combining human judgement, technology, and voluntary choice. How the system works Instead of a single, centralized court model funded by taxation, Liberland’s judiciary operates on a market-based principle. Parties involved in a dispute choose how their case is handled and who will decide it. Costs are transparent, procedures are clear, and outcomes are delivered efficiently. At the core of the system are Magistrates — independent decision-makers who resolve first-instance cases. Depending on the type of dispute and the package selected, a case may involve: AI-assisted judgements for simple matters (still under construction as to the date of publication) Human review or correction by a Magistrate Full human adjudication where complexity requires it More serious or higher-risk cases receive enhanced review, with experienced Judges and additional safeguards. Appeals are handled through structured second-instance proceedings, and enforcement is overseen by the Supreme Court. All of this is designed to ensure fairness, speed, and accessibility — without unnecessary bureaucracy. Everything happens in the Liberland App The Marketplace of Judges operates primarily through the Liberland Services app, where users can: Initiate and manage cases Select Magistrates or service packages Track decisions, deadlines, and enforcement Communicate within a secure, transparent system The app is available here: Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.liberland.services   Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/liberland-services/id6447049347?l=en-GB   Become a Judge in Liberland Liberland is now inviting new Magistrates to join the system. If you apply and are accepted, you will be added to the official pool of judges and may be selected by parties to help resolve real disputes — for pay. Importantly: Formal legal practice is not required Formal legal education is not demanded What matters is competence, independence, sound judgement, and the ability to resolve disputes fairly   Many cases involve mediation, structured review, or practical decision-making rather than complex litigation. Magistrates choose how much they work, what types of cases they accept, and what level of service they provide. It is a professional opportunity for people with experience in dispute resolution, analysis, or decision-making to contribute meaningfully — while being compensated directly for their work. To apply, simply click this link and submit your application. Once approved, you can begin offering your services through the Liberland App. Justice, redesigned The Marketplace of Judges reflects Liberland’s broader vision: justice that is accessible, transparent, technologically modern, and centred on human responsibility. Advanced tools assist — but never replace — human judgement. Whether you are looking to resolve a dispute efficiently or to contribute as a judge, the system is open, voluntary, and built for the future.

Liberland took part in the Global Blockchain Show in Abu Dhabi, one of the region’s largest blockchain events, welcoming more than 5,000 participants from across tech, finance, startups, and public institutions. The conference floor was busy from morning to evening — not only with scheduled talks, but with constant side conversations, spontaneous meetings, and introductions that stretched well beyond the agenda. Main Stage and Side Conversations President Vít Jedlička spoke on the main stage of the event, then spent the following days doing what often matters just as much: listening, meeting people, and exchanging perspectives with founders, investors, and developers. Among the meetings was a conversation with Michael Saylor, alongside many informal discussions with people building companies, protocols, and infrastructure across the blockchain space. Beyond the Conference Hall The Abu Dhabi visit also included a private gathering hosted by the Miami Chamber of Commerce, where international business leaders and investors met in a more relaxed setting. These moments — away from stages and microphones — often allow for the most honest and practical exchanges. Why This Trip Mattered What stood out most in Abu Dhabi was the mix of scale and openness. A large crowd, but still plenty of room for real conversations. Formal talks during the day, informal discussions late into the evening. The photos from the Global Blockchain Show capture those moments — people talking, listening, disagreeing, laughing, and connecting. Liberland continues to show up where these conversations happen, and Abu Dhabi was one of those places.

While the rest of the world tightens the noose, Liberland just handed you the keys to the escape pod. Liberland Services is becoming the Everything App for the parallel society: private money, private comms, private identity, private business registry, and real-world services – all in one place that no government, corporation, or woke moderator can touch.

To welcome the Christmas season, we would like to reward everyone supporting liberty. Anyone who qualifies for citizenship and completes their payment by acquiring at least 5,000 merits (LLM) between today and 10 December will receive full Liberland citizenship and full legal representation for obtaining temporary residency in Paraguay—a pathway that can free you from mandatory health insurance and, under certain conditions, from paying personal income tax. Consider it our Christmas present to you. If you are not yet a citizen, you can proceed by logging in and selecting “Citizenship” at checkout in your E-Residency application. If you are already an E-Resident, all you need to do is collect LLM 5,000 for your individual citizenship package on the contribution page. For existing citizens there is a Christmas discount of 35% to appreciate their long-term support. They can use "CHRISTMAS2025" at the check-out here. Paraguayan temporary residency can be a powerful tool if you want to legally minimize personal taxes and escape mandatory state insurance in your home country. It is especially helpful if your centre of life and income is outside your home country, your country does not apply citizenship-based taxation, and you do not spend most of the year in any single jurisdiction. What it provides: A territorial-tax residency with no minimum stay requirement. The ability, under the right conditions, to avoid personal income tax and obligatory state health insurance in your home country. This does not apply for nationalities with citizenship-based taxation. Access to essential services in Paraguay (ID, bank account, private insurance, address, real estate, etc.), with full support from our English-speaking legal team. Pathway to permanent residency and, if you decide to stay, to citizenship. Key conditions: Available only to people who are visa-free to Paraguay (you must be able to enter without needing a pre-arranged visa). You must visit Paraguay in person (about one week) to start the residency process. You will need your Apostilled birth certificate and a background check in English or Spanish. Special Christmas offer: The regular price of this programme is US$4,000, but it is now free for anyone who acquires Liberland citizenship (LLM 5,000+) by 10 December. After you qualify, our team will contact you and connect you directly with our Paraguayan lawyers to arrange everything and begin the process.

Montelibero.Zajedno 2025 was more than a conference. It was a reminder that liberty-oriented communities are not isolated experiments. They form a growing global ecosystem. Each project explores a different path, but all of them learn from one another, exchange knowledge, and offer support when conditions change. From November 27 to 29, Podgorica hosted Montelibero.Zajedno 2025, an engaging and well-run gathering that brought together libertarians, digital nomads, and freedom-oriented communities from several countries. The event took place at the Kings Park Hotel in the heart of the city, with a wrap-up party at the Montelibero community hub MTL-City near Bar. Although the audience was mostly Russian and Montenegrin members of the Montelibero community, the atmosphere was genuinely international. People came from Norway, Canada, the United States, Australia, Moldova, Serbia and other places to share ideas about building freer, more resilient communities. Panel discussion at Montelibero 2025 Creating Real Alternatives: Lessons From Montelibero.Zajedno 2025 The program included several talks on practical freedom, new economic zones, digital sovereignty, and the challenges of building intentional communities in the modern world. Liberland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Thomas D. Walls, gave a presentation on the current state of Liberland, outlining ongoing diplomatic work and describing new opportunities for cooperation. He later joined a panel discussion on how liberty-oriented communities can make a real impact rather than remaining theoretical. Other speakers included: Sondre Bjellas, presenting the experience of Liberstad in Norway and the lessons learned from trying to build a free city on private land.   Valery Utrosin and several Montelibero founders, who spoke about the rapid growth of their community in Montenegro and the challenges that come with it.   Risto Backović, a highly trained researcher and author in finance, monetary policy and economics, gave an extremely informative presentation on cryptocurrencies   Entrepreneurs, developers, and thinkers such as Timur Artemev, Egor Yakovlev, Vladimir Shmelev and others covered topics such as investing in free communities, setting up digital infrastructure, and navigating life as a voluntary migrant in a changing political environment. Throughout the event, participants repeatedly returned to the same question: how can small, value-driven communities influence the larger world without losing their principles? Attendees visit a local Georgian restaurant in Podgorica Shared Challenges, Shared Solutions One topic that came up often was the tightening of residency rules for Russians and other foreigners living in Montenegro. This shift is driven largely by European Union policy and affects people who have chosen Montenegro for peaceful reasons. Many of them openly oppose the actions of the Russian government, yet they still face new administrative hurdles simply because of their nationality. In private conversations, Walls encouraged anyone facing eventual residence difficulties to consider relocating to Serbia and joining the Liberland community there. Serbia remains more welcoming to independent thinkers and does not impose the same blanket restrictions. Many participants are considering a concrete plan B and this presents a workable and beneficial option. This is exactly where cooperation among free communities becomes essential. No single project has all the answers, but together they form a network that gives people flexibility and real alternatives. Liberland, Montelibero, Liberstad, the Free State Project, and Prospera all explore different models, yet they share a belief in voluntary action, personal responsibility, and peaceful coexistence. When one community faces pressure, another can offer space, support, and expertise. Shashlik Barbeque at MTL-City near Bar, Montenegro Communities Can Collaborate A particularly promising conversation took place between Minister Walls and Glenn Cripe from the Language of Liberty Institute. They discussed the possibility of organizing a week-long Liberty Camp at Ark Liberland Village. These educational programs, which the Institute has hosted in many countries, bring young people together to learn about entrepreneurship, critical thinking, and classical liberal ideas. Hosting a camp at Ark Liberland would help strengthen the next generation of freedom-oriented leaders. The beautiful Kings Park Hotel in downtown Podgorica A Growing Free Community Network Montelibero.Zajedno was more than a conference. It was a reminder that liberty-oriented communities are not isolated experiments. They form a growing global ecosystem. Each project explores a different path, but all of them learn from one another, exchange knowledge, and offer support when conditions change. For Liberland in particular, gatherings like this create valuable diplomatic and cultural bridges. Many attendees are already Liberland e-residents or citizens, and others are considering becoming part of the community. These interactions help build understanding and trust, and they show that Liberland is part of a much wider movement of people who want to create a more peaceful and voluntary world. Montelibero.Zajedno 2025 showed that freedom communities do not need to wait for permission to cooperate, innovate, or support one another. They can simply start by building real relationships, exchanging ideas, and creating practical solutions together.

Liberland Blockchain v34 introduced major upgrades. The Free Republic of Liberland has introduced major changes to Liberland Blockchain, further enhancing citizen freedom, power decentralization, and transparency. Liberland Blockchain v32 comes out with the full support of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) based Smart Contracts (SC) built on the Solidity programming language. Solidity is the current standard for Smart Contracts, ran by most blockchains and used by the vast majority of developers. This is what blockchain users expect to find in a blockchain, and now, they will.  This also means that developers can now deploy Solidity smart contracts directly to Liberland Blockchain, opening the network to Ethereum-compatible dApps, wallets, protocols, bridges, and much more. The team will begin enhancing documentation soon to ensure developers have all the information they need to begin building, and have ways to ask for more assistance. This concludes the first phase of Ethereum virtual machine support as detailed in last week’s preview. We will soon add full support of Liberland functionality such as elections and referenda, and much more, but even now, you can load your native LLD into your Metamask or other EVM-compatible wallets (Coinbase, Binance, Trust, etc.).  Stay tuned for more exciting developments!

Liberland is a constitutional republic founded on merit, the democratic veto, and a simple pledge every citizen must make: “I shall not steal from my fellow citizens—neither directly nor through the state.” The conviction in London of Qian Zhimin—dubbed in some headlines the “Liberland queen”—has attracted attention to our young republic because of her alleged desire to become Liberland’s “Queen.” Let me be unequivocal: Liberland has never had any contact with Ms. Qian and the idea that she could become a monarch here is pure fiction. Liberland is a constitutional republic founded on merit, the democratic veto, and a simple pledge every citizen must make: “I shall not steal from my fellow citizens—neither directly nor through the state.” Citizenship is granted only to those with a clean criminal record, and we verify this very carefully. All cryptocurrency contributions are automatically screened for illicit origins and any transaction that raises concerns is blocked before it reaches us. These are not symbolic promises. We are actively revoking citizenship from individuals who concealed criminal histories, and our new citizenship law allows removal for up to twelve years if key facts were withheld. We take integrity seriously because it is the foundation of our project. Liberland’s vision: freedom built on transparency Liberland was created to prove that a society can flourish without the coercive taxation and regulatory overreach that plague traditional states. As Frédéric Bastiat warned, “The state is the great fiction through which everyone endeavors to live at the expense of everyone else.” We reject that fiction. In Liberland, influence is earned through merit—verifiable contributions to Republic—not wealth or popularity. Democracy alone has failed to prevent corruption or the tyranny of the majority over the minority. Our system combines merit-based voting power with the democratic public veto and Senate oversight to keep power in check. All of this operates on a transparent, automated, decentralized platform at blockchain.liberland.org.  We attract freedom-minded innovators from around the world, including our Prime Minister, Justin Sun. Yet wealth in itself offers no privileges here. Every contribution is checked, verified, and rewarded in a fair and open manner. Liberland is not a haven for fugitives or opportunists. It is a serious experiment in voluntary governance for people who want to build prosperity without exploiting others. Criminals will find no shield here—only transparency and the rule of law. We welcome scrutiny. We welcome debate. And to those who share our belief in liberty, responsibility, and honest cooperation, we extend an invitation: help us build the freest society on Earth. President Vít Jedlička

Liberland Blockchain is expanding its developer ecosystem with the addition of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, bringing Solidity smart contract deployment to the world's first blockchain-governed nation. Bringing Ethereum's Ecosystem to Liberland The Liberland development team has been working to deploy Frontier EVM on Liberland Blockchain, a Substrate-based chain that currently powers Liberland's governance system, Liberland Merit-based voting, and validator network. This integration will enable developers familiar with Ethereum's tooling and languages to build on Liberland's freedom-focused infrastructure, powered by Liberland Dollar (LLD). With EVM compatibility, developers will gain access to: Solidity smart contract deployment on Liberland Blockchain Standard EVM wallet support including MetaMask, Zerion, Trust Wallet, and other wallets that support custom networks Familiar development tools from the Ethereum ecosystem A freedom-preserving community aligned with libertarian principles and voluntary governance Phased Rollout Approach The EVM integration will launch in two phases: Phase 1 (Q4 2025): Developers will be able to deploy Solidity smart contracts directly to Liberland Blockchain, opening the network to Ethereum-compatible dApps and protocols. Phase 2 (Q1 2026): The Liberland Blockchain Dashboard app will integrate EVM wallet support, allowing users to interact with the network seamlessly using their preferred Ethereum wallets. In the end, there are a slew of benefits that Liberland Blockchain will receive immediately, but others that will still require additional work to achieve. Features Liberland Blockchain will add natively: Native LLD on Metamask, Zerion, Trust Wallet, and other wallets that support adding custom networks Use blockchain.liberland.org via MetaMask and other compatible wallets Solidity contract support Easier integrations with hundreds of protocols and apps Easier full project migration or cloning on Liberland Blockchain Features that will require custom development: EVM to EVM bridges Uniswap integration or integration with anything on Ethereum or Ethereum-based layer 2 networks LLD staking in MetaMask At this time, we don't see a path to enable interacting with LLM via Ethereum-compatible wallets, but our development team will continue to explore ways to achieve that or take ideas from others on how to do so. Best of Both Worlds Liberland Blockchain's architecture combines Substrate's flexibility and performance with Ethereum's massive developer ecosystem. By supporting both Rust-based Substrate development and EVM/Solidity deployment, Liberland offers developers multiple pathways to build on infrastructure aligned with principles of individual liberty and a citizen-owned nation. For Ethereum developers seeking a community that values economic freedom, minimal government interference, and transparent blockchain governance, Liberland presents a unique opportunity to deploy applications where code meets constitutional principles. Developer Access Expanding This expansion represents a significant milestone in Liberland's technical roadmap, complementing the existing governance infrastructure that enables merit-based voting, citizen participation, and validator node operation, powered by LLD. EVM compatibility will dramatically expand the potential developer base while maintaining Liberland's commitment to voluntary association and economic freedom.

Speaking at one of the world’s most forward-looking summits on decentralized systems and political innovation, the president of the Free Republic of Liberland presented a functioning reality: a sovereign state ten years into its development, operating on a blockchain-based institutional framework, with citizens, territory, and a growing diplomatic network. The event, hosted by the Network State community and key thinkers like Balaji Srinivasan, brought together pioneers of digital governance and alternative jurisdictions. In this context, Jedlička’s presence was both timely and strategic—offering the clearest example to date of how the principles of voluntarism, limited government, and technological sovereignty can be translated into institutional form. Ten Years of Constructing a Sovereign State Jedlička began by retracing the foundation of Liberland, established on 13 April 2015, on a parcel of unclaimed land along the Danube River between Croatia and Serbia. The early days of the project saw an overwhelming interest—close to one million people signed up for citizenship in the first weeks alone, briefly surpassing the immigration demand of the United States. That momentum has evolved into a long-term state-building process, anchored in the criteria of the Montevideo Convention: defined territory, a permanent population, a government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other states. Liberland now has citizens residing in its territory, a cadastre with borders that avoid any dispute with neighbouring countries, and an expanding list of diplomatic relations around the world. The physical territory spans seven square kilometres—three times the size of Monaco—and is already undergoing development with infrastructure projects that include a longevity clinic in Serbia and a network of treehouse residences inside Liberland itself. A Government Built on Blockchain What distinguishes Liberland on the global stage is not merely its legal status or territorial claim, but the architecture of its government. Jedlička detailed the operational model now in place: a decentralized autonomous government run through blockchain infrastructure, utilizing RAS-based technology. This system integrates elements of meritocracy (through corporate-style decision structures), democracy (citizens can veto any law or proposal), and a constitutional republic where the country's residents maintain specific checks on executive power. Notably, Liberland held its most recent elections just days before the conference. The results brought significant figures to leadership positions: Justin Sun, founder of TRON, was elected Prime Minister—making him the wealthiest head of government on record—and Brittany Kaiser, known for her work in data rights and political transparency, was elected to Congress. These appointments signal Liberland’s capacity to attract global talent with both technical expertise and governance experience. A Serious Agenda for Regional Development Beyond internal affairs, Jedlička emphasized the state’s investment in broader regional cooperation. Projects in Croatia and Serbia are aimed at generating employment, fostering innovation, and signalling Liberland’s constructive presence in the Western Balkans. By establishing infrastructure, clinics, and innovation hubs in the surrounding areas, Liberland positions itself not as a separatist entity but as a complementary actor in regional development. Additionally, the president announced the first Constitutional Convention of Liberland, to be held in Prague on December 19. This gathering will bring together legal scholars, political theorists, and blockchain experts to debate and refine the country’s foundational legal texts. Among the confirmed participants is the constitutional scholar Hans-Hermann Hoppe reinforcing the intellectual seriousness of the process. Liberland presented itself as a functioning political entity with clear institutions, territorial development, and a legislative process already underway. Its model of governance—anchored in blockchain, voluntary association, and constitutional restraint—offered a concrete reference point in a landscape often dominated by abstraction.  Catch the full speech at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEiGBO5AUeE

On 19th December 2025, Liberland will host one of the most significant gatherings in its history: the Reading of the Constitution of the Free Republic of Liberland, paired with a festive Christmas Party at the elegant Le Palais Art Hotel in Prague. This landmark event is not only a celebration of the holiday season but also a defining moment for the Liberland community, as the Constitution will be formally reviewed before its submission to the Constitutional Referendum. The occasion brings together citizens, supporters, and international guests for a day that blends intellectual debate, political ceremony, and cultural festivity. A Day in Two Acts: Press Conference and Celebration The programme begins with a press conference, where the Ministry of Justice and members of the Liberland Congress will address the global media, outlining the principles and vision enshrined in the Constitution. This legal framework emphasizes property rights, individual sovereignty, direct meritocracy, and the prohibition of taxation—cornerstones of Liberland’s philosophy of liberty. Following this official reading, the mood will shift toward celebration. The Christmas Party will feature a ceremonial segment where state awards and certificates will be presented to distinguished contributors to the Liberland project. The festive atmosphere will symbolize both the joy of the season and the optimism for Liberland’s future. Special Guests: Hans-Hermann Hoppe and Libertarian Thinkers One of the most notable highlights of the event will be the presence of Hans-Hermann Hoppe, the renowned libertarian philosopher and economist. His participation underscores the intellectual seriousness of Liberland’s constitutional project and connects the nation’s ambitions to the broader tradition of Austrian economics and libertarian political thought. Alongside him, Stephan Kinsella and Alessandro Fusillo, both influential voices in libertarian legal theory, will contribute to the discussions and celebrations. Constitutional Highlights The First Reading emphasizes the following principles: Property Rights: inviolable rights to self-ownership and acquired property. No Taxation: prohibition of taxation, tariffs, and compulsory social security schemes. Direct Meritocracy: citizen-led legislation and referenda as the basis of governance. Individual Sovereignty: commitment to non-aggression and the protection of personal rights and freedoms. A Historic Step Forward The First Reading is more than a ceremonial act; it is a pivotal step toward the democratic referendum that will establish the constitutional foundation of Liberland. Citizens and supporters are invited not only to witness but to participate in shaping the world’s freest country. The Ministry of Justice of Liberland encourages all attendees to confirm their participation by writing to [email protected]. As the year draws to a close, Liberland stands on the threshold of history: a free, just, and sovereign state taking form, celebrated through both law and festivity, reason and joy. This Christmas, Liberland will not only honour tradition but also mark the birth of its enduring constitutional future.

Liberland – 1 October 2025 – The Free Republic of Liberland, the world's pioneering libertarian nation, today revealed the outcomes of its quarterly Congress elections, conducted entirely on its custom public blockchain at blockchain.liberland.org. Marking a historic milestone, Liberland stands as the first sovereign entity to power all its IT infrastructure—from governance and voting to citizen services—on a bespoke, transparent public blockchain, ensuring unparalleled security, immutability, and accessibility for its global citizenry. In a resounding victory, crypto visionary Justin Sun successfully defended his position as Prime Minister, securing another term to lead Liberland's executive branch. Sun, the founder of TRON, one of the most widely adopted blockchain ecosystems with billions in transaction volume, brings his expertise in decentralized finance and Web3 innovation to steer Liberland toward greater international recognition and technological sovereignty. Under his prior leadership, Sun forged key diplomatic ties, including exploratory discussions with U.S. entities during the Trump administration transition, positioning Liberland as a beacon for crypto-friendly governance. "Liberland isn't just a nation; it's a blueprint for the future of freedom in the digital age," Sun stated. "With our blockchain at the core, we're building a meritocracy where innovation thrives without borders." A dynamic new addition to the legislative body is Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Brittany Kaiser, joining the ranks of its seven distinguished representatives. Kaiser's groundbreaking exposé in the Netflix documentary *The Great Hack* and her subsequent advocacy through the Own Your Data Foundation have made her a global champion for data protection and ethical technology. As a new congresswoman, she pledges to champion Liberland's commitment to user sovereignty, using her insights to craft policies that protect citizens' digital rights while fostering blockchain-based transparency. "After witnessing the dark side of data manipulation, I'm thrilled to contribute to a nation where technology empowers rather than exploits," Kaiser remarked. "Liberland's model of merit-based participation is revolutionary—it's democracy evolved." The elections, which concluded today, were facilitated through Liberland merits (LLM)—unique digital shares representing citizenship stakes in this newly formed country. Citizens pooled their merits to cast votes, embodying Liberland's ethos of meritocracy over mere headcount. This system ensures that contributions to the nation, from intellectual capital to community involvement, amplify one's voice in governance. Underpinning the ecosystem is the Liberland dollar (LLD), the native token serving dual purposes: a stable medium for everyday payments within the nation and a staking asset securing the proof-of-stake blockchain. With a current market value reflecting robust adoption, LLD powers transactions, land NFT registries, and on-chain companies, all while maintaining low fees and high throughput. Unlike traditional democracies with infrequent polls, Liberland's elections occur every three months, allowing for agile, responsive governance. The process employs the advanced Pergamon algorithm, a sophisticated mechanism that allocates votes proportionally across candidates, guaranteeing no ballot is ever wasted."Liberland's blockchain elections aren't just efficient; they're a paradigm shift in how nations operate," said President Vít Jedlička. "Today's results affirm our vision: a free society where technology amplifies liberty." The current Liberland Congressional Assembly includes: Justin Sun Karnika “Key” Yashwant Elango Navid Saberin Dorian Jakov Štern Vukotić Dr. Tariq Abbasi Michal Ptáčník Brittany Nicole Kaiser For more information on Liberland's blockchain and citizenship, visit liberland.org. About Liberland: The Free Republic of Liberland is a libertarian nation founded on 13th of April 2015 on an island on the Danube River between Croatia and Serbia.

International recognition of Liberland’s sovereignty continues to grow. The Free Republic of Liberland is proud to announce that two centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, BiFinance and Biconomy, have officially added support for Liberland E-Resident IDs and Liberland passports in their KYC (Know Your Customer) verification processes. This milestone demonstrates growing international recognition of Liberland’s sovereignty while also expanding access to services for Liberland citizens and e-residents. Strengthening Sovereignty Through Recognition By accepting Liberland-issued documents, BiFinance and Biconomy are not just expanding their customer base—they are acknowledging Liberland as a legitimate digital nation. Every integration of our government-issued IDs into global platforms is a step forward in affirming our sovereignty and international standing. President Vít Jedlička commented: “Each time a global platform adds support for Liberland identity documents, it reinforces the fact that Liberland is here to stay. Our citizens and e-residents gain access to more opportunities, while our sovereignty gains more recognition in practice.” This comes hot on the heels of BiFinance and Liberland sealing a strategic partnership in a deal valued at $200 million. Expanded Access to Global Services For Liberland citizens and e-residents, this development opens new doors. BiFinance and Biconomy are both fast-growing exchanges serving millions of users worldwide. By accepting Liberland credentials, they ensure that Liberlanders can: Onboard seamlessly to trusted crypto platforms Trade, invest, and manage digital assets with fewer barriers Enjoy the same financial freedom as users from more established nations This aligns perfectly with Liberland’s mission to create a borderless, blockchain-powered society where opportunity is accessible to all. Continued Support for Liberland’s Vision The move also underscores a growing trend: private companies and international partners see value in engaging with Liberland’s innovative approach to governance and digital identity. Recently, a deal was struck that allows Liberland E-Residents to access an exclusive opportunity to gain Paraguayan residency, showing confidence in Liberland’s vision and trajectory. BiFinance and Biconomy’s decisions are not just about compliance—it’s about supporting the idea of a freer, more open world. By validating Liberland documents, these exchanges are signalling their belief in a future where digital nations and blockchain governance play a central role in global society. This is still early days. Liberland is actively working with more exchanges, financial platforms, and service providers to integrate Liberland E-Residency into their systems, while also giving the E-Residency program a dedicated online platform to make the advantages of Liberland E-Residency more clear, and start to develop a marketplace where these opportunities are easily discovered. This new platform should launch early in Q4 2025. The overarching goal is to make being a Liberlander not only an ideological choice—but also a practical advantage. As adoption grows, every e-Resident and citizen will enjoy an expanding ecosystem of services, partnerships, and opportunities, further cementing Liberland’s place as the world’s first blockchain-powered nation.

At the recent ZuKas event in Patara, the historic Lycian capital, President Vít Jedlička of Liberland delivered a speech that placed our young republic within a lineage stretching from the ancient Lycian League to the constitutional debates of the United States. The setting was deliberate: Patara is where the world’s oldest federal parliament once gathered, more than two thousand years ago, and where the principle of proportional representation was first tested. Jedlička reminded his audience that the Lycians broke with the principle of equal voices and instead weighted votes according to the size of their cities. The system was flawed — this type of inequality eroded unity and left the federation vulnerable — but its conceptual leap endured. As historians have noted, the Lycians’ greatest legacy was not a monument of stone, but an idea that outlived them. That idea resurfaced in 1787, when James Madison, speaking at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, invoked Lycia as a model for proportional representation. The U.S. House of Representatives, with 435 seats apportioned by population, still reflects that principle today.   From this vantage, Jedlička situated Liberland’s own experiment. He noted that past systems failed because they were tied to size or wealth — measures that divide rather than unite. By contrast, Liberland’s governance model introduces a new basis for weighted votes: merit. In his words, “every citizen has a voice, and that voice grows stronger with contribution to the community — through service, innovation, and responsibility.” Where corporations once rewarded profit and Lycians favored power by scale, Liberland seeks to reward participation and civic contribution.   For ZuKas, a gathering dedicated to the intersections of governance, culture, and history, the speech resonated as more than ceremonial. It underscored the continuity between ancient experiments in representation and contemporary efforts to reinvent governance for the digital age. By standing in Patara — where the Lycian League first convened — Jedlička drew a symbolic line through time: from the ruins of Lycia to Madison’s Philadelphia, and onward to Liberland on the Danube.   Closing his address, he emphasized that Liberland is not only learning from history but actively writing its next chapter: “We are not only heirs to history — we are builders of its next chapter. May the lessons of the past guide us, and may the spirit of Patara inspire Liberland to prove that freedom, merit, and responsibility can prevail.”   The ZuKas event thus became more than a conference: it was a stage where history, philosophy, and innovation met. In linking the oldest federal parliament to the newest microstate, Jedlička positioned Liberland as both a student of the past and an architect of the future.

In a landmark moment for the world's first blockchain-governed nation, Liberland's comprehensive Citizenship Law has achieved something unprecedented in modern governance: complete passage without a single citizen veto. With 383 citizens holding the ability to vote to veto the law, the final tally read "Citizens vetoed: 0/383", demonstrating the power of true voluntary governance and authentic democratic consensus. Meritocracy Delivers Unanimous Results The citizenship law's passage represents a triumph of Liberland's unique merit-based democratic system. Unlike traditional nations where laws are imposed from above, Liberland's citizens had the power to vote against passing this comprehensive legislation – and every single citizen chose to let it pass, showing genuine consensus around this historic reform. The new citizenship law establishes a sophisticated, merit-based framework that sets global standards for 21st-century governance: Core Citizenship Rights Defined Full international protection afforded by Liberland Unconditional access to Liberland territory (physical and virtual) Right to possess and use the Liberland passport and ID Access to Liberland's social system Political Rights for Qualified Citizens Citizens with 5,000 politically pooled Liberland merits (LLM) gain additional rights: Voting in elections for public offices Voting in meritocratic referendums and submitting proposals Candidacy for public office Participation in democratic vetoes Running blockchain validator nodes Rigorous Merit-Based Application Process Comprehensive due diligence following international KYC best practices Personal citizenship interviews assessing character and commitment Demonstration of commitment through LLM 5,000 contribution requirement Official recommendation process through the Citizenship Commission Presidential approval (with automatic approval after 14 days if no objection) Multiple Pathways to Liberland Status The law creates innovative categories reflecting modern reality: Full Citizenship: Complete political and economic participation for those demonstrating substantial commitment to Liberland's success. Liberland Nationals: For individuals connected by birth or descent, with the same rights as citizens but lower commitment requirements. Honorary Citizenship: Recognition for individuals making significant contributions to liberty worldwide, granting citizen passport privileges without full residency requirements. True Democracy in Action "This law passing with zero vetoes proves that voluntary governance isn't just theory—it works", said President Vít Jedlička. "When people have real power to stop legislation they disagree with, and they choose not to use it, you have authentic democratic consensus, not manufactured consent." The legislation demonstrates Liberland's revolutionary two-tier system: Legislative Approval: Passed by democratically elected Congress Citizen Veto Power: Each citizen could vote to block the law Unanimous Acceptance: Final result, zero citizens vetoed Libertarian Principles at Their Finest The citizenship law embodies core libertarian values that distinguish Liberland from traditional nation-states: Voluntary Association: Comprehensive termination procedures ensure citizenship remains entirely voluntary, with clear processes for renunciation without penalty. Merit-Based Recognition: Unlike birthright citizenship systems, Liberland citizenship requires demonstrated commitment and contribution, aligning with libertarian principles of earned rather than inherited status. Limited Government Constraints: The law specifically protects freedom of speech and thought, stating "No Citizen shall be subject to Involuntary Termination of their Citizenship solely for expressing political beliefs, opinions, or participating in peaceful movements." Individual Economic Liberty: Citizens gain access to Liberland's voluntary tax system where they can withdraw up to one-tenth of their politically pooled LLM annually, demonstrating that taxation truly is voluntary. Judicial Accountability: Decisions are subject to a potential judicial review, preventing administrative tyranny and ensuring due process. Blockchain Governance Integration: The validator node rights for qualified citizens create a system where the people literally secure their own government infrastructure. Global Leadership in Digital Governance This legislative success positions Liberland as the world's leading example of practical digital governance. The law addresses modern realities that traditional nations struggle with: Digital Territory: Recognition of virtual access rights alongside physical territory Blockchain Integration: Validator node operation as a citizen privilege International Mobility: Passport and international protection for digital nomads Merit-Based Economics: Voluntary tax system with withdrawal rights Flexible Status Categories: Citizenship, Nationality, and Honorary statuses meeting diverse needs Revolutionary Social System Integration The law creates an innovative social safety net that maintains libertarian principles: Citizens can withdraw up to 10% of their voluntary tax contributions annually Withdrawals come with temporary (30-day) voting suspensions, creating accountability No permanent loss of status for using social support System funded entirely through voluntary contributions, not coercive taxation Next Steps and Global Influence The citizenship law takes effect immediately, with applications now being processed under the new comprehensive framework. The legislation establishes: Clear pathways for the 400,000+ existing citizenship applicants Streamlined processes for E-Residents seeking to upgrade International recognition framework for Liberland documentation Blockchain-secured credential systems "Today we're not just passing legislation—we're proving that free people can create better governance systems than any traditional state," said Derek E. Silva, Head of Blockchain Marketing. "It’s one of the core tenets of blockchain infrastructure that many people, teams and organizations have been striving for, but Liberland is delivering on today. Zero vetoes from Liberland’s citizens shows what's possible when government truly serves the people." The law's unanimous passage sends a powerful message to the global freedom movement: voluntary governance isn't utopian theory, it's practical reality delivering superior results to coercive systems. The Free Republic of Liberland is the world's first blockchain-governed nation, founded on principles of voluntary governance, individual liberty, and economic freedom. Nestled along the Danube River in eastern Europe, with comprehensive citizenship laws passed by genuine democratic consensus, Liberland represents the practical implementation of libertarian ideals in the digital age.

The Liberland delegation presented Dr. Paul with Liberland’s highest national honor, the First Class Order of Merit, recognizing his decades-long fight for peace, liberty, and sound money. More than 1,000 people gathered in Lake Jackson, Texas, on Saturday, August 9, to celebrate the 90th birthday of former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul. Liberland was honored to serve as an official partner of the event, alongside the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, Young Americans for Liberty, and other organizations dedicated to the cause of liberty. Two days later, the Liberland delegation—Minister of Foreign Affairs Thomas Walls and Washington, D.C. Representative Bruce Porter—was welcomed into Dr. Paul’s office. The delegation joined him and Daniel McAdams for a recording of the Liberty Report, where our visit was briefly highlighted. On this occasion, Dr. Paul was presented with the First Class Order of Merit, Liberland’s highest national award, recognizing his lifelong dedication to freedom, peace, and individual rights, as well as his profound inspiration for those working to build Liberland. U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard joined us to celebrate Ron Paul's birthday The celebration itself featured an impressive lineup of speakers. Among them was Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, a former Congresswoman and presidential candidate, who served in both the Hawaii National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserve. Director Gabbard, a close friend of Dr. Paul, has consistently spoken out against endless regime-change wars, defended civil liberties and privacy, and urged U.S. government agencies—including the intelligence community she now oversees—to adhere to the Constitution. Other speakers and guests included former Congressman Justin Amash; Nick Gillespie of Reason; television host Kennedy, who is considering a visit to Liberland; Scott Horton of Antiwar.com; historian Tom Woods; scholar Jeff Deist; comedian Dave Smith; Daniel McAdams, co-host of the Liberty Report and Director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity; Connor Boyack of the Tuttle Twins; Jeff Frazee of Young Americans for Liberty; Kentucky Representative T.J. Roberts; activist Matt Kibbe; the Free State Project and many more. The evening was capped by a performance from Jimmie Vaughan, brother of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, who delivered a powerful set of Texas blues before Dr. Paul’s address. “So many people here have told us we have by far the most interesting table here,” remarked Bruce Porter, Liberland’s Washington representative. Ron Paul receives the Liberland Order of Merit First Class During our private visit with Dr. Paul, we presented him with the Order of Merit, an official letter, a deck of Liberland playing cards (in which Dr. Paul is featured as the ace of spades) and a Liberland flag pin. Dr. Paul graciously signed several copies of his book End the Fed. We also shared updates on Liberland’s progress and explored avenues for cooperation—including the possibility of naming a library at our Washington office the Ron Paul Memorial Liberty Library. Liberland’s participation in this historic occasion not only honored Dr. Paul’s extraordinary life and work, but also deepened the bonds between his movement and our own. His vision of liberty continues to guide and inspire us as we build a free and prosperous future. The people of Liberland, together with its government and President Jedlička and his family, send their warmest wishes for health, happiness and prosperity to Dr. Paul and all of his family and friends. Thomas Walls, Minister of Foreign Affairs

The Liberland dollar (LLD), the native cryptocurrency of the Free Republic of Liberland, has undergone significant advancements, strengthening its position in the global digital asset market. In addition to its existing listing on MEXC, a leading centralized cryptocurrency exchange with over $700 million in daily trading volume, three new exchanges—Biconomy, BiFinance, and P2B—have announced the listing of LLD, expanding its accessibility and liquidity. Furthermore, LLD’s interoperability across major blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, and TRON, through established bridges, ensures seamless trading on platforms like Uniswap and Phantom. Groundbreaking integrations with Alchemy Pay and Pintopay are set to revolutionize how LLD is acquired and spent, while a strategic equity swap with BiFinance has bolstered Liberland’s financial foundation. Since June 2024, LLD has been tradable on MEXC, a prominent centralized exchange, enhancing its global reach and liquidity. This listing allows users to buy, sell, deposit, and withdraw LLD on the Liberland Blockchain, with trading pairs like LLD/USDT supported by advanced technical indicators. Additionally, LLD’s integration with cross-chain bridges—such as HASHI Bridge for Ethereum and SORA, deBridge’s dePort for Solana, and BTTC for TRON—enables seamless transfers between Liberland Blockchain and these major ecosystems. This interoperability makes LLD fully accessible on decentralized platforms like Uniswap (Ethereum) and Phantom (Solana), where users can swap LLD with other tokens or manage it within popular wallets. The Solana token contract address (GwKKPsJdY5oWMJ8RReWLcvb82KzW6FKy2bKoYW7kHr16) allows users to add LLD to Phantom or trade it on Solana-based DEXes like Raydium and Jupiter. Biconomy and BiFinance: Pioneering Liberland Passport Recognition Biconomy and BiFinance have recently added LLD to their trading platforms and have taken a bold step by recognizing Liberland passports for their standard know your customer (KYC) processes. This signals growing institutional acceptance of Liberland’s vision as a blockchain-based micronation founded in 2015 on 7 square kilometres between Croatia and Serbia. By integrating Liberland’s digital identity solutions, these exchanges facilitate seamless onboarding for Liberland citizens and E-Residents, aligning with the nation’s ethos of decentralized governance. BiFinance’s Strategic Equity Swap In a landmark development, BiFinance has executed a significant equity swap with Liberland Limited, the entity representing Liberland’s Senate. BiFinance exchanged a 1% stake in its platform, currently valued at US$2 million, for a 1% share of Liberland Limited, which holds approximately 44 million Liberland merits (LLM) in national reserves. The equity in BiFinance will serve as a critical asset, supporting Liberland’s economic growth and blockchain ecosystem. P2B: Expanding LLD’s Reach in Europe P2B, a leading European-focused cryptocurrency exchange, has also listed LLD, further enhancing its market presence. As one of the largest platforms catering to European traders, P2B’s inclusion of LLD ensures greater liquidity and accessibility for users across the continent, reinforcing Liberland’s ambition to integrate its cryptocurrency into global financial systems. Seamless Acquisition with Alchemy Pay Integration Liberland is set to make LLD acquisition effortless through an upcoming integration with Alchemy Pay, a global payment solutions provider. Supporting transactions in 173 countries across over 300 payment channels, Alchemy Pay will enable users worldwide to purchase LLD instantly using credit and debit cards. This integration removes barriers to entry, allowing anyone with a card to become an LLD holder in seconds, further democratizing access to Liberland’s blockchain economy. Spending LLD with Pintopay’s Debit Mastercard Spending LLD is about to become as simple as swiping a phone. Through an ongoing integration with Pintopay, users will soon be able to link an LLD-backed debit Mastercard to their Google Pay account via the Liberland mobile app (available at app.liberland.org). This will allow seamless payments at any payment terminal worldwide, making LLD a practical medium of exchange for everyday transactions. This development aligns with Liberland’s vision of creating a borderless, decentralized financial system where LLD serves as both a store of value and a functional currency. A Vision for the Future These upgrades mark a pivotal moment for the Liberland Dollar and its blockchain ecosystem. The listings on MEXC, Biconomy, BiFinance, and P2B, combined with cross-chain bridging to Ethereum, Solana, and TRON, position LLD as a versatile and accessible cryptocurrency. The equity swap with BiFinance not only strengthens Liberland’s financial reserves but also signals confidence in its long-term vision of a fully autonomous, decentralized government. As Liberland continues to push for international recognition and physical development of its territory, these advancements solidify its role as a trailblazer in transforming nation-state governance for the 21st century. Join the evolution of finance and governance by exploring Liberland’s blockchain ecosystem at liberland.org and becoming a part of this groundbreaking movement.

Liberland is writing history in space exploration, from sending a digital copy of its flag to the Moon and sending its Prime Minister among the few humans ever to reach orbit, to preparing the first commercial mission to a near-Earth asteroid. Citizens now have the unique chance to engrave their names on the national flag that will journey beyond Earth. 1.

Liberland E-Residents have a unique opportunity to gain Paraguayan residency through our legal team in Paraguay. This offer means there is no obligatory state insurance you would have to As the only territorially taxed country that offers tax residency without a minimum stay requirement, Paraguay can free you from personal tax obligations and state insurance payments in your country of citizenship—provided your centre of interest is outside your home country, your country does not impose citizenship tax, and you do not spend the majority of the year in any one jurisdiction. Benefits Tax Freedom: Eliminate personal tax obligations and state insurance payments in your country of citizenship (except where citizenship-based taxation applies). Global Mobility: Maintain your primary residence and activities outside Paraguay while securing a legal residency base. Essential Services: Once a resident, you can apply for a tax certificate, phone number covering the Americas and Europe, a bank account, private insurance, and even an address. Full Support: Our dedicated team of Paraguayan lawyers—who have also assisted members of our own team in obtaining residency—will guide you throughout the entire process, tailored to your personal situation. Requirements and Process: Temporary Residency (First Visit):  Obtained in a single visit to Paraguay. You will need a background check and birth certificate (documents must be apostilled and in English or Spanish). Your Paraguayan ID card (cedula) will be issued within 30–90 days and can be shipped via DHL if you prefer not to wait in person (shipping via DHL is charged separately). Minimum stay: about 1 week to ensure all paperwork is processed. Extension (Second Visit): A second visit is required within one year to extend your temporary residency. Recommended stay 5-7 days. Permanent Residency (Third Visit): During a third and final visit, you will be able to upgrade your residency to permanent status, which is not obligatory and is a separate service (our lawyers can help you with that one for an extra fee). You can also maintain the temporary residency as long as you keep on visiting at least once a year. Costs Programme Fee: US€3,000 (special offer: €2,500 for the first 10 applicants).

Tax obligations in your home country depend on your citizenship rules and where your “centre of interest” is located. You can upgrade from Temporary to Permanent after 2 years. The fee for the lawyers is typically around €1,800. Getting Started Payment: The process begins with the programme fee (€2,500 or €3,000 depending on the offer).

Buyer Beware: Not All that Looks Like LLM is Real If you're hearing about "LLM" and thinking it has something to do with artificial intelligence — you're not wrong. These days, LLM often refers to Large Language Models, like ChatGPT. But in Liberland, LLM has meant something entirely different for over a decade. What is LLM in Liberland? In the Free Republic of Liberland, LLM stands for Liberland Merit — our official political token. If you are a Liberland citizen, it's the token that gives you the power to vote and take part in shaping our future. Think of it as both a symbol of contribution and a tool of meritocracy/democracy. Why the Confusion? Recently, many cryptocurrencies have jumped on the AI bandwagon, using the ticker LLM to cash in on the hype surrounding language models and artificial intelligence. That’s fine — we were here first, and we wish them well. A typical example of such a non-malicious LLM coin is here. This is not our Merit, so do not be confused by it. But here’s the problem: some of these so-called “LLMs” are not just unrelated — they are useless meme coins. A Word of Warning There is at least one fake “LLM” token out there. It has nothing to do with Liberland, and if you invest in it thinking you’re supporting our republic or gaining voting rights — you’re making a costly mistake.  Even Chat GPT and Gemini get routinely fooled. When we asked each what the price of LLM is, it provided answers like “0.0019 to 0.00003” USD per LLM, and that it is traded on Coinbase. This is in part complete hallucination (Coinbase mention) and in part confusing real LLM with fakes. Buyer beware!  A couple examples of fake LLM: https://delta.app/en/crypto/liberland-merit/ liberland-merit This fake token is what crypto enthusiasts call a “grade A shitcoin” — a token with no value, no purpose, and no future.  If you’re serious about buying real Liberland Merits (LLM), do it only through our official website: www.liberland.org. You can also go to blockchain.liberland.org and there, you can already exchange LLD for LLM. As of now, LLM is not listed on any centralized or decentralized exchange (CEX or DEX). That means any token claiming to be “LLM” on exchanges is not ours. So How Will You Know When It’s Real? When the genuine Liberland Merit becomes available on DEXes, we will make a formal announcement. You’ll find all official information — including the correct smart contract address — on our trusted documentation portal: 📘 docs.liberland.org Stay smart. Stay safe. Liberland is building something real and lasting. Don't let copycats or scammers take your hard-earned money. If you're ever in doubt, contact us directly.

Thinking about visiting Liberland? We’d love to have you! Before you grab your backpack and head for the border, here’s what you need to know about getting to Liberty Island safely and legally. 🌊 The Danube Matters First things first: check the water level. Liberty Island sits in the Danube River, and for dry access (meaning you can walk in rather than swim or boat), the river has to be low enough. Specifically, the water level at Mohács — a city upstream in Hungary — must be below 250 cm. You can check the current level here: 👉 leo.ll.land/river If it’s under 250 cm, congrats — the land route is open. 🛶 Boats? Not Recommended. Here’s Why. While the Danube may seem like a natural highway, we strongly advise against arriving by boat — even if you have one, even if you’re a good captain, and even if you’ve read all the maps. Why? Because of aggressive actions by Croatian authorities in the area. Boats have been confiscated, travelers harassed, and unnecessary legal trouble stirred up. It's simply not worth the risk. 🏊 Swimming: Technically Possible, But... If you're a strong swimmer and enjoy a challenge, yes — swimming to Liberty Island is physically possible. However, it's not ideal, especially if you’re carrying a flag, camera, or dry clothes. That’s why your safest and most effective option is driving into the area of Osijek-Baranja (through Hungary, NOT Serbia) and coming to Liberland on foot.  Let us tell you how: 📬 Contact Before You Come If you're planning a visit: Email us at [email protected] to ask for the best current route. Announce your arrival at Border.Liberland.org — this helps us coordinate and ensure your safety. We’ll help guide you legally and securely to the settlement. Sometimes we may have group entries or authorized crossings — it all depends on conditions. ✅ Summary Access Method Status Notes Land (dry foot) ✅ Possible Only when Danube < 250 cm at Mohács Boat ❌ Risky May result in confiscation by Croatian authorities Swimming 😬 Technically yes But cold, tiring, and not ideal Contact first ✅ Best We'll guide you safely 🗽 Final Words Liberland is open, peaceful, and always happy to welcome pioneers — but we also believe in staying smart, safe, and sovereign. Let’s avoid unnecessary drama and make your visit a positive experience. Plan ahead. Stay legal. Reach out. See you on Liberty Island!

Forbes Mexico, together with KOL Capital, has unveiled its prestigious 40 Under 40 Tech Leaders list, spotlighting innovators who are rewriting the rules of technology and society. Among these standout figures is Liberland’s President, Vit Jedlička, whose leadership and vision continue to place the Free Republic of Liberland at the heart of global conversations about governance, liberty, and technological progress. Vit Jedlička’s inclusion in this year’s list underscores the international recognition of his project to build the world’s first truly blockchain-powered state. Since Liberland’s founding, Jedlička has championed a radical vision of voluntary governance, decentralized justice, and tokenized citizenship, transforming what began as a bold declaration on the banks of the Danube into a vibrant hub for innovation, diplomacy, and freedom. His work reflects exactly what Forbes celebrates in its honorees: leaders who dare to challenge entrenched systems and pioneer new models for the future. Alongside Jedlička, two other Liberlanders were also featured in the 40 Under 40: Evan Luthra, Liberland’s Minister of IT, and Justin Sun, the nation’s Prime Minister. Luthra, a globally recognized investor and entrepreneur in Web3, is bringing his expertise to build the digital backbone of Liberland, ensuring its governance systems are not only innovative but also scalable and secure. Sun, founder of TRON and one of the most influential figures in the blockchain industry, contributes his global reach and technological acumen to strengthen Liberland’s position as a beacon of crypto-governance. This moment of recognition for Liberland’s leadership echoes a tradition of honoring champions of liberty. In 2018, Publisher Steve Forbes received Liberland’s highest honor—the First Class Order of Merit—for his lifetime support of the ideas of liberty. The acknowledgment of such a prominent global voice in free-market advocacy underscores the deep philosophical ties between Liberland and the global movement for individual freedom and economic self-determination. That three members of Liberland’s leadership team appear on the Forbes list is not only a personal achievement for them, but also a milestone for the entire Liberland project. It signals that the world is taking note: Liberland is no longer just an idea, but a living, breathing experiment in liberty and innovation—led by visionaries recognized among the most important young leaders shaping the future.

LIBERTY ISLAND, LIBERLAND – The first beach bar and fully constructed treehouse opens in Liberland, This is marking another step in the ongoing development of the permanent Liberlander habitation on Liberty Island. Since August 2023, Liberland has maintained a continuous and growing presence on its territory, with a variable permanent population. That population currently numbers 15 committed residents and new Liberlanders arriving regularly. The opening of the beach bar and treehouse reflects the community’s resilience and pioneering spirit — even in the face of logistical and environmental challenges. Built entirely by hand by a dedicated team of Liberlanders, the beach bar and treehouse provide both a gathering place and a symbol of Liberland’s practical progress toward a sustainable, free society. “Liberland is no longer just an idea — it is a living, breathing community,” said President Vít Jedlička. “We now have real people living here, building infrastructure, and creating a unique and free society on the Danube. The beach bar and treehouse are more than just recreational structures — they’re proof that freedom works.” The beach bar officially opened on Wednesday 23rd, with events planned in the coming weeks including a cooking competition, the Floating Man Festival, and the Liberland Chess Open. These events showcase the active and growing cultural life of the nation. One of the residents, who helped build the new structures, expressed the optimism felt by many on the island: “We’ve worked through rain, heat, and mud — and now we’re serving drinks on the Danube under a treehouse we built ourselves. It’s not always easy here, but right now, it’s amazing,” said Jan, a Czechia born Liberlander. Pathways to Join the Liberland Community Liberland offers multiple options for supporters and future citizens to get involved: Investors can gain citizenship and immigration rights by contributing to Liberland’s development. EU/Schengen citizens can work directly on-site in construction, hospitality, or event support — and earn citizenship through service.

Regarding: “Liberland – sedam spornih četvornih kilometara pod jurisdikcijom je RH” (3 February 2025) URL: https://www.vecernji.hr/vijesti/liberland-sedam-spornih-cetvornih-kilometara-pod-jurisdikcijom-je-rh-1835150 We would like to thank Večernji List and journalist Marinko Jurasić for publishing a well-researched and informative article addressing the ongoing legal and diplomatic questions surrounding Gornja Siga and the Free Republic of Liberland. However, we respectfully submit that certain legal conclusions in the article — particularly regarding Croatian jurisdiction over the disputed territory — may warrant clarification or correction in light of established international legal principles. As stated in the article, the legal counsel of the accused is using these points in the ongoing proceedings and it is our opinion that the Liberland side of the argumentation was significantly underrepresented in your article. In the name of objectivity, we are presenting it here in a concise form: Legal Rebuttal to Croatian Jurisdiction over Gornja Siga in the Case of T.H.G. I. Absence of Final Border Settlement – Pending Sovereignty Under international law, sovereignty over a territory subject to an unresolved border dispute is not presumed in favor of either claimant until a final settlement or arbitration occurs. Gornja Siga is not internationally recognized as Croatian territory, nor has Serbia recognized it as such. In fact, both Croatia and Serbia disclaim ownership, making it a unique interstitial zone.  A situation similar to yet in many ways profoundly different from the open seas. Similar in that there is no internationally recognized jurisdiction, different in that there is no special international regime like that which governs the open seas, and therefore the legal qualification of each situation in this land must be derived from analogy of law, legal principles and so on. The Croatian claim of jurisdiction is based on administrative practice, not on a final legal determination. Jurisdiction based on de facto control does not equal de jure sovereignty. The Croatian court’s reliance on “diplomatic notes” instead of a formal bilateral treaty or arbitral ruling demonstrates the lack of binding, settled jurisdiction. ➡️ Rebuttal: The area is legally ambiguous and not definitively Croatian, and therefore application of Croatian misdemeanor law amounts to extraterritorial penal enforcement — a serious breach of international law.   II. Improper Use of Diplomatic Notes as Legal Foundation Diplomatic notes are non-binding unless incorporated into a treaty or formal memorandum of understanding. The Croatian court admits that there is no treaty; the use of phrases like “bilateral understanding” is legally vague and unenforceable. Whatever these notas are, a treaty or not, they are not published in any meaningful form and therefore not binding on people visiting Liberland. Not published documents cannot be enforced against people in a rule-of-law based country which Croatia claims to be. The fact that Serbia agrees Croatia can “administer” the area pending resolution does not constitute sovereignty cession. It may be administrative convenience, not full territorial jurisdiction. ➡️ Rebuttal: The court improperly elevated nonbinding diplomatic notes into binding legal instruments, thereby violating Article 38 of the ICJ Statute, which recognizes treaties, custom, general principles, and judicial decisions as sources of international law — but not mere diplomatic notes.   III. Violation of the Principle of Legality (Nullum Crimen Sine Lege) Under European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), Article 7, no one may be punished for an act which was not clearly defined as a criminal offense at the time. The absence of notice (no signs, warnings, or clear jurisdictional notice) meant T.H.G. could not reasonably foresee that Croatian criminal or misdemeanor law applied to him in that location. Police allegedly told him the camera was for wildlife monitoring, reinforcing his reasonable belief that Croatian police were not active in the zone. The accused cannot be held responsible for there being at that moment a police officer or for his subjective feelings. The accused could not presume any of those. Hence, the basic intent to commit a misdemeanor is absent - and therefore, the action cannot be a misdemeanor. ➡️ Rebuttal: The punishment violates legal certainty and individual foreseeability under ECHR standards. A foreign citizen cannot be held criminally liable in disputed territory unless jurisdiction is clearly and unambiguously established.   IV. Disproportionality and Political Targeting The gesture — while vulgar — was not accompanied by violence or threats. In a normal democracy, 3,000 euros and a one-year exclusion zone would be disproportionate, especially absent clear jurisdiction. The court’s reasoning is not neutral; it uses politically charged language, portraying Liberland as disruptive, thereby undermining neutrality and suggesting selective enforcement against political dissenters or microstate activists. T.H.G. has no prior record, expressed remorse, and relied on conflicting information from officers. ➡️ Rebuttal: The sentence is grossly disproportionate under ECHR Article 10 (freedom of expression) and Article 6 (fair trial), especially considering the unclear status of the land, lack of warnings, and political overtones of the case.   V. Terra Nullius Argument – Not Irrelevant The Croatian court declares terra nullius is a “non-issue,” citing Serbian diplomatic statements. However: If both Serbia and Croatia deny sovereignty, and no other state claims it, then under the Island of Palmas doctrine (PCIJ, 1928), the territory may indeed be subject to original acquisition under specific conditions. T.H.G. did not claim sovereignty, but merely that the Croatian court lacks jurisdiction to punish him there. This is a narrow procedural defense, not a challenge to global borders. A restraining order against approaching terra nullius (or disputed land) has no legal basis without title to that land. ➡️ Rebuttal: Until full border delimitation occurs through a competent international process, such as arbitration or ICJ proceedings, Croatia cannot unilaterally claim full criminal jurisdiction in Gornja Siga.   VI. Inconsistent Application of Jurisdiction Undermines Croatian Claim The Croatian court assumes that Croatia exercises lawful jurisdiction over Gornja Siga. However: Even if we were to grant that Croatia exercises jurisdiction, such a claim would necessarily imply the existence of full Croatian civil and criminal administration — including consistent access to legal institutions for individuals legitimately seeking remedy. This would require that persons present in Gornja Siga be able to access Croatian courts for civil disputes, criminal protection, property registration, and other administrative services, and that a municipal authoritybe identified as locally competent. Yet based on firsthand experience and documented inquiries, we understand that Croatian courts routinely deny jurisdiction over substantive matters arising in Gornja Siga — including property claims, criminal complaints, and civil disputes — on the grounds that no competent authority exists for the territory. ➡️ Rebuttal: This contradiction between limited penal enforcement and general institutional absence reveals that Croatia does not exercise effective, consistent, or lawful jurisdiction over Gornja Siga. Under the international law standard of effectivités, such selective assertion of authority is insufficient to support a claim of sovereignty. Therefore, Croatia cannot unilaterally claim jurisdiction for misdemeanor prosecution without exercising the full spectrum of public law functions in the territory. 🧩 Conclusion While Croatian courts are currently defending the status quo, the legal objections raised here rest on four fundamental points: The lack of final and recognized sovereignty over Gornja Siga; The improper reliance on diplomatic notes in place of a binding agreement or adjudication; The violation of European human rights standards, particularly regarding legal certainty, foreseeability, and proportionality; And the disputed and indeterminate status of the territory, which should preclude unilateral criminal enforcement. An application to the European Court of Human Rights or the UN Human Rights Committee would raise serious procedural and substantive concerns about the use of penal law in a territory that is neither fully administered nor legally resolved. These concerns could form the basis for a strong challenge to the selective exercise of jurisdiction — and contribute meaningfully to the broader legal record regarding Gornja Siga. We thank Večernji List for bringing public attention to this important topic and acknowledge the seriousness with which the article addresses it. At the same time, we respectfully maintain that the legal status of Gornja Siga remains unresolved, and that any assertion of criminal jurisdiction in such a context must be treated with legal caution and international scrutiny. We remain committed to  respectful dialogue, the rule of law, and peaceful international engagement, and we welcome continued discussion on the just and lawful resolution of this unique and symbolically significant territorial question.

249 years of liberty On July 4th, the United States celebrates its Independence Day, marking the historic moment in 1776 when the Thirteen Colonies declared their sovereignty from British rule. Far across the Atlantic, the Free Republic of Liberland, a young nation purposefully founded during Thomas Jefferson’s 272nd birthday on 13th April 2015, shares a strikingly similar spirit of liberty and self-determination. While centuries apart, the motivations behind the creation of both nations resonate with a universal desire for freedom, individual rights, and the pursuit of a society unburdened by overreaching authority. As we commemorate Independence Day, let us explore the parallel ideals that inspired the founding of the United States and Liberland, and how these principles continue to inspire freedom-loving people worldwide. A Rejection of Overreach and Tyranny The United States was born out of a deep frustration with British colonial rule, particularly the imposition of taxes and laws without representation. The Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Acts, and the Coercive Acts of 1774—known as the Intolerable Acts in the colonies—fuelled resentment among colonists who felt their rights as Englishmen were being violated. The Declaration of Independence, penned primarily by Thomas Jefferson, articulated these grievances, asserting that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. When King George III refused to address the colonists’ petitions, independence became the only path forward. Similarly, Liberland’s founding was a response to perceived overreach by modern states. Established by Vít Jedlička on a small, unclaimed parcel of land between Croatia and Serbia, Liberland emerged as a bold experiment in minimal governance. Its creators were driven by frustration with bloated bureaucracies, excessive taxation, and restrictions on personal and economic freedoms in many parts of the world. Like the American colonists, Liberland’s founders sought to create a society where individuals could thrive without the heavy hand of centralized control. The Liberland Constitution, much like the US Declaration, emphasizes voluntary cooperation and the protection of individual rights as the cornerstone of governance. The Pursuit of Individual Liberty At the heart of the American Revolution was the Enlightenment-inspired belief in “unalienable Rights” to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Influenced by thinkers like John Locke, the Declaration of Independence proclaimed that all men are created equal and endowed with natural rights that no government can justly deny. This radical idea shifted the focus from collective subjugation to individual empowerment, setting a precedent for democratic ideals worldwide. Liberland echoes this commitment to individual liberty with its motto, “To Live and Let Live.” The nation’s philosophy is rooted in libertarian principles, advocating for a government that exists solely to protect property rights and personal freedoms. Liberland’s blockchain-based governance system ensures transparency and minimizes bureaucratic interference, allowing citizens to pursue their goals with minimal restrictions. Just as the United States sought to create a society where individuals could chart their own destinies, Liberland envisions a community where personal responsibility and freedom are paramount. Self-Governance and Innovation The American founders were not merely rebelling against British rule; they were pioneering a new form of governance. The Declaration of Independence was not a legal document but a bold statement of intent, laying the groundwork for a nation built on popular consent and self-determination. The subsequent US Constitution and Bill of Rights codified these principles, creating a system designed to limit government power and protect individual rights. Liberland, too, is an experiment in innovative governance. By leveraging blockchain technology, Liberland aims to create a decentralized, efficient, and transparent system that empowers citizens to participate directly in decision-making. Its meritocratic citizenship model rewards contributions to the nation, fostering a community driven by voluntary cooperation rather than coercion. Like the American founders, Liberland’s creators are not content to replicate existing systems but are striving to build something new—a model of governance that prioritizes freedom and innovation. A Beacon for the World The Declaration of Independence inspired revolutions and independence movements globally, from the French Revolution to Vietnam’s declaration of independence in 1945. Its assertion of universal rights became a moral standard for human dignity and self-governance. Similarly, Liberland aspires to be a beacon for those disillusioned with traditional state models. By demonstrating that a society can function with minimal government intervention, Liberland challenges the status quo and invites others to reimagine what a free society can be. Celebrating Independence Today As we celebrate Independence Day, the shared motivations of the United States and Liberland remind us that the quest for freedom is timeless. Both nations, in their own eras, rejected oppressive systems in favour of societies built on individual rights, self-governance, and the pursuit of happiness. While the United States has grown into a global power, and Liberland is the newest country in the world, their founding spirits are united by a belief in the potential of free people to create something extraordinary. On this 4th of July, let us honour the courage of the American founders and the vision of Liberland’s pioneers. May their examples inspire us to protect and expand the boundaries of liberty, ensuring that the flame of freedom burns brightly for generations to come. Happy Independence Day from Liberland!

Seven Visionaries Chosen for Liberland's Future While traditional democracies grapple with voter fraud allegations and weeks-long ballot counting, a small nation on the Danube River just proved elections can be transparent, instant, and absolutely certain. In seconds, Liberland's fourth Congressional Election delivered results that would make election officials worldwide envious—and perhaps a little nervous about their own systems. On 3rd July 2025, at exactly 14:22 CET, history quietly unfolded. Not with hanging chads or recount demands, but with mathematical certainty. Liberland's blockchain-based voting system didn't just count votes—it eliminated doubt itself. This wasn't just another election. It was a glimpse into the future of meritocratic participation, complete with a real-time Elections Predictor that showed voters exactly which candidates were winning as ballots were cast. No exit polls, no speculation, no breathless news anchors filling time; just transparent, immutable results. "We are pioneering what will soon become common practice around the world," officials declared, and the bold claim doesn't seem far-fetched when you witness their system in action. The Winners Circle: A Global Brain Trust The results reveal a fascinating coalition of minds from across the planet, each bringing unique expertise to this experimental electoral system: The Returning Champions Six incumbent members secured their seats, proving that competence breeds confidence: Navid Saberin - A multilingual Renaissance man from Luxembourg whose expertise spans banking, real estate, and Bitcoin advocacy Dorian Stern Vukotić - The Croatian tech pioneer who literally made history as the first person to step foot in Liberland in August 2023 and mark the beginning of Liberland’s permanent settlement Michal Ptáčník - Prague-born legal scholar with international law experience and a passion for futuristic governance Evan Luthra - The serial entrepreneur who started building companies at 13 and now influences 3 million followers across social media Tariq Javaid Abbasi - Chair of Westar Capital Group and Deputy Lieutenant of Greater London, bringing humanitarian focus to governance Justin Sun - founder of TRON and owner of BitTorrent, adds serious cryptocurrency credibility to the mix, another Forbes "30 Under 30" alumnus representing the kind of disruptive thinking that Liberland was built to embrace The Comeback Story Kenny Li reclaimed his Congressional seat with stronger support than his April 2025 campaign, proving that in Liberland's meritocracy, second chances can lead to first-class results. As co-founder of Manta Network, Li brings 15 years of cloud computing, AI, and blockchain expertise, plus an MIT master's degree, to the table. The Battle for the Final Seat The most intriguing subplot emerged in the razor-thin competition for the last Congressional position. Kenny Li, Nicolas Mateos, and former Congressman Karnika E. Yashwant fought for a spot with margins so narrow they hint at the intense political engagement brewing in this nation. These nail-biting finishes aren't bugs in the system, they're features! As more citizens participate and more candidates step forward, Liberland's meritocracy is evolving from experiment to example. What This Means for the World While democracies debate the integrity of their electoral systems, Liberland has quietly solved the problem. The blockchain-based approach doesn't just count votes—it creates an immutable record that makes fraud impossible and recounts unnecessary. The newly elected Congress will serve from July through October 2025, steering a nation that exists as much in cyberspace as it does on the banks of the Danube. Their decisions will ripple far beyond Liberland's borders, influencing how the world thinks about governance, technology, and the future of electoral systems itself. In an era when trust in institutions wavers globally, Liberland offers something precious: certainty. And sometimes, that's exactly what a nation needs to evolve. The Provisional Government extends congratulations to all winners and anticipates Congress's growing influence within Liberland's unique political system.

A year ago, Liberland took a bold step into the future by launching a unique non-fungible token (NFT) featuring the Liberland flag as part of an international collection of symbolic digital artefacts sent to the Moon. The mission was organized by Copernic Space, a project that collaborates with commercial lunar landers to place digital and physical time capsules on the lunar surface. As part of this effort, a curated collection of NFTs—representing nations, communities, and cultural achievements—was carried aboard a lunar lander to preserve their images permanently in space. The Blue Ghost mission was successfully completed on 2 March 2025, at 08:34 UTC when the lander touched down safely on the Moon’s surface. This achievement means the Liberland flag is now—although digitally—present on the Moon as part of humanity’s collective heritage. As there was a huge chance of failure we decided to stay on the safe side and launch digital version first. The Moon is, as the saying goes, a harsh mistress. Unlike Earth, it has no atmosphere, no weather protection, and is constantly bombarded by ultraviolet radiation and micrometeorites.  The next natural step is to place a physical flag. This is why Liberland is planning another, even more ambitious mission to secure a lasting physical presence beyond Earth. This mission will be organized in cooperation with Lifeship.com, an innovative space company that collects and preserves DNA and symbolic materials from around the world. Lifeship’s mission is to create a “backup of humanity” by sending capsules containing DNA, small artefacts, and other data to the Moon and beyond, ” Their upcoming mission, scheduled for December this year, will deliver a payload to the lunar surface as part of a broader effort to safeguard human civilization and culture. Liberland will participate by including the Liberland flag and other representative materials. This endeavour demonstrates Liberland’s commitment to pioneering technologies, and global cooperation. By reaching beyond our borders—and beyond our planet—we affirm the spirit of freedom, innovation, and human progress that Liberland stands for.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Arte TV for the video reportage about our country and the occasion of our 10th anniversary. We were pleased to see the attention to detail in the segment, particularly the observation that our country is recognized on Google Maps and that our main streets are documented there. We are especially grateful for your objective coverage of our activities on the ground and our economic diplomacy efforts in Dubai. We also appreciate your reference to our political developments. You can see the whole document here. However, we would like to clarify certain points. Liberland is a country with diplomatic relations, a functioning government, defined territory, a permanent population, and an active settlement. For this reason, it is difficult to accept that terms such as “imaginary” or “micronation” best describe the Liberland situation or experience. Liberland is the world’s third smallest country, after Vatican City and Monaco. It is Europe’s newest sovereign state and, by design, the freest country in the world. The purpose of Liberland is not to help people evade taxation. We are not—and do not intend to become—a tax haven. Rather, we are building a haven of liberty and opportunity. It is true that we operate under a system in which taxes are voluntary, in the sense that no public tax authority wields coercive powers to collect them. This is not to promote or solicit any specific advantage, but because we genuinely believe this is how governments can—and should—operate. Regarding the latter part of your reportage, we would have welcomed a portrayal that more closely reflects what is actually occurring in our country and at our anniversary celebration. The combination of a critical perspective (which is of course legitimate and welcome) with commentary on our mission in Dubai—characterizing it as a “paradise for the wealthy” or “profit for one”—seems less like objective journalism and more like an editorial opinion. While such opinions are valued, it may be appropriate to present them as commentary rather than fact. Every project must begin somewhere—otherwise it remains, as you put it, merely a dream. In our case, a “dream state.” We cannot start already finished. Building a country and founding it in a place where no one has previously lived is not something commonly undertaken. It carries the same uncertainty and risk as launching any ambitious enterprise. Accordingly, we require investors, supporters, and partners willing to work alongside us. Like any project that has not yet reached a stage where it can distribute dividends, we must present not only evidence of our past record but also a vision of what success will look like. We would kindly ask that this be understood for what it is: not an attempt to mislead, but an honest and necessary part of building something new. We thank you again for your coverage and the opportunity to share our story with a wider audience. We remain committed to transparency, dialogue, and the pioneering spirit that defines Liberland. We look forward to continued engagement and to welcoming you to visit us again in the future.

A mission of business diplomacy on a global level The Free Republic of Liberland made a dynamic mark on Southeast Asia this week as Vít Jedlička led a delegation to Singapore from 14 to 19 June 2025, as part of a high-level Pan-Official Business Mission. He visited Singapore on a business basis as a representative of the first and only Czech-originated layer-1 blockchain project to reach full execution. A key highlight of the mission was the Czech–Singapore Business and Investment Forum, held on Wednesday, 18 June from 14:30 to 16:30. The forum served as a strategic platform for entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers to exchange ideas and explore synergies in blockchain, fintech, sustainability, and smart city development. The energy in the room was palpable as leaders from across continents came together to envision a decentralized, innovation-driven future. The official itinerary also included exclusive visits to some of Singapore’s most forward-thinking enterprises and institutions — among them Kabam Robotics, Mastercard Innovation Hub, Sembcorp, and CapitaLand. Each stop offered insight into how technological excellence and green innovation are shaping tomorrow’s world — values that resonate deeply with Liberland’s own vision. President Jedlička, known for his libertarian philosophy and global outreach, also held a personal lunch meeting with Mr. Tan Soo Khoon, the Ambassador of Singapore to the Czech Republic. Ambassador Khoon is a veteran Singaporean statesman who served as a Member of Parliament from 1976 to 2006, making him one of the longest-serving MPs in the country’s history. From 1989 to 2001, he held the distinguished role of Speaker of Parliament, where he was known for his firm yet fair leadership. Since 2007, Mr. Tan has served as Singapore’s non-resident Ambassador to the Czech Republic, fostering diplomatic and economic ties between the two nations. “Liberland was founded on bold ideas — and in Singapore, we’ve found a kindred spirit in bold execution,” said President Jedlička. “This visit marks the beginning of a new chapter — one where innovation, freedom, and enterprise cross borders effortlessly.” Liberland plans to open a Singapore Representative Office during Token 2049, a global blockchain conference planned for 1-2 October 2025. If you plan to be on the conference or in the area, you are hereby cordially invited to attend the opening reception. Date and time will be specified on this website and in communication. With a growing base of supporters and e-residents in Asia, Liberland’s presence in Singapore signals a confident step forward in its global engagement. Entrepreneurs, digital pioneers, and curious minds alike are invited to connect with Liberland as it builds bridges to the future — one mission at a time.

A River of Opportunity – The Liberland Vision for Danube Prosperity Danube River Revival:  Liberland’s $30M Plan to Reboot the Region On a quiet stretch of the Danube River nestled between Croatia and Serbia, a bold vision for regional renewal is quietly taking shape. Liberland, a ten-year old community founded on principles of liberty, entrepreneurship and voluntary cooperation, has unveiled a $30 million regional development plan that aims to transform the surrounding region—not for conquest or controversy, but uplifting the region it calls home.  Facilitating trade and smart development will connect the neighbours in the region instead of driving them apart. The plan will bring good jobs and solutions to structural problems that have beleaguered the area since the breakup of Yugoslavia.  The plan, backed by international investors and supporters of the Liberland initiative, proposes equal investment—roughly $15 million each—in the border regions of Serbia and Croatia over the next two years. The goal is clear: to spark sustainable growth in communities surrounding Liberland’s physical location, improving lives and livelihoods while remaining sensitive to political realities and historical tensions as well as the local environment. Investing in Shared Growth The Liberland Regional Development Plan is as pragmatic as it is visionary. It focuses on infrastructure, trade, tourism, high-tech innovation and sustainable industries—sectors with the power to breathe new life into overlooked river towns, rural villages, and post-industrial areas on both sides of the border.  Naturally, Liberlanders and supporters as well as local and regional authorities are invited to participate. Some of the plans are already underway; others are still awaiting feasibility studies and stakeholder feedback.  In Croatia, the plan forsees: Expanding the Batina Business Centre, providing co-working space and support for startups and cross-border trade. Modernizing the shipyard in Vukovar into a green maritime hub, supporting eco-friendly vessel production and river transport. Developing a boutique wine cellar and restaurant in Zmajevac, celebrating Baranja’s unique wine-making heritage. Upgrading a nearby airstrip for light aircraft and UAV training and operations, with the goal of achieving international aviation certification. Location TBA. Launching a fintech and blockchain innovation hub, connecting local talent with global tech. Location TBA. Construction of a solar park in Osijek-Baranja County that will provide power for local energy grids. Location TBA. Building an agri-logistics centre, promoting organic farming and green supply chains. Location TBA. In Serbia, highlights include: Establishing the Napredak Commercial Centre in Apatin Harbour, turning existing Liberland-owned riverfront property into a dynamic trade and logistics zone. Supporting Serbia’s Expo 2027 in Belgrade, with a pavilion highlighting Danube innovation and green technology. Expanding the Ark Village eco-resort near Apatin (ARK II), introducing modern cabins, permaculture education and enjoying the natural surroundings. Creating an adventure park near Bački Monoštor, offering eco-tourism, overnights in the wilderness, environmental learning, recreation and fishing. Location TBA. Building a blockchain incubator, empowering youth with digital tools and training. Location TBA. Launching a bio-based manufacturing plant, focused on biodegradable materials and green construction. Location TBA.   Napredak Commercial Centre in Apatin Harbour Projects for Liberland itself include low-footprint developments including a treehouse complex, a medical centre and a very innovative and eco-friendly hotel design by Sergio Bianchi of Studio Bianchi Architettura in Rome, Italy. However, projects in Liberland itself are subject to negotiations and agreements with our neighbour.  The Vision: Harmony and Practicality This plan is not just about new projects—it’s about re-imagining how development can improve conditions for both people and the planet. Rather than over-developing Liberland’s own territory, the initiative leverages and enhances existing infrastructure in nearby communities. For instance, instead of building an airport in Liberland itself, the plan calls for strategic use of Osijek International Airport and thoughtful investment in a nearby airfield, reducing the environmental footprint while creating economic opportunities for nearby towns. This regional-first approach allows Liberland to preserve its natural surroundings while ensuring the benefits of investment—jobs, tourism, technology, and improved infrastructure—flow to the communities that need them most. It is an inclusive strategy rooted in cooperation - and the total sum of investment can grow to much more than the planned $30 million as local stakeholders indicate their willingness to participate and greenlight more beneficial projects. Uplifting Heritage, Protecting Nature At its heart, the plan is deeply respectful of the cultural and historical heritage of the Danube region. From the centuries-old wine cellars of Baranja to the unique wetlands of the Bačka region, the projects are designed to enhance and promote what is already here—not replace it. “A prosperous Danube region,” explains Liberland Foreign Minister Thomas Walls, “is one that can afford to take care of its heritage and its environment. Our goal is not just to attract capital, but to protect the character and identity of this special part of Europe. We are already getting positive input from city mayors and other officials on both sides of the river on how we can best create opportunities here.”  This balance of progress and preservation is in every element of the plan. Each investment site is being selected not just for economic potential, but for its ability to foster community integration, regional pride and environmental responsibility. Building a New Kind of Partnership Liberland’s plan is ultimately a proposal for collaborative development. It does not challenge one vision of the borders over another or demand recognition. It asks instead for dialogue, cooperation and a shared commitment to prosperity. A true free trade zone connecting entrepreneurs and hubs in the Danube region can improve peoples’ lives much better than any political program. And this is something we are starting to execute now.  By improving infrastructure, nurturing innovation, and celebrating local heritage, the Liberland initiative offers a new model—one where communities like Liberland do not seek to disrupt, but to contribute. Whether Liberland gains formal recognition from one neighbour or the other, its development plan is already making a real difference. And in a world so often divided by conflict, this peaceful push for cooperation on the Danube may be its most powerful statement yet.

Liberland's no-tax, pro-business environment makes it an investment destination and serves as a model for economic freedom. Academic studies show that Liberland can catalyse regional growth, potentially boosting moribund neighbouring economies' GDP by up to 2% through spillover effects of increased trade and investment. Our regional development plan will benefit our neighbours and offer tremendous opportunities for US companies looking to invest or export. Liberland, an ambitious, aspiring country located between Serbia and Croatia on the Danube River, has garnered attention as a beacon of freedom in the Balkans. Inspired by American Founding Fathers such as Thomas Jefferson, our commitment to individual liberty, free markets, the rule of law, and truly limited government echoes American values in the region. Despite its modest size, Liberland’s resonance in pro-freedom and crypto circles allows it to wield significant influence. It inspires citizens and policymakers in the Balkans with laws that preserve and enlarge personal freedoms and economic liberty, in contrast with governance models which reward special interests and stifle economic growth. Recognition of Liberland can strategically bolster US interests in the Balkans in several ways: Further economic stability and growth: Liberland's no-tax, pro-business environment makes it an investment destination and serves as a model for economic freedom.

Our regional development plan will benefit our neighbours and offer tremendous opportunities for US companies looking to invest or export. Drive innovation: By fostering an environment ripe for entrepreneurship, Liberland can serve as an innovation hub that drives technological advancements beneficial to both the US and the Balkans. Many Liberland citizens and supporters are leaders in innovation, blockchain and high-tech industries. Diplomatic and social leverage: Liberland can serve as an informal yet influential channel for dialogue, enhancing American diplomacy by promoting security, freedom, and countering authoritarianism in the Balkans. Liberlanders have been active in the region for ten years and can communicate ideas of liberty in ways that are sensitive to local identities and national aspirations. The Liberland delegation proudly attended the inauguration of President Trump in January 2025. We feel we can work together on many policy issues on which we are aligned.  How the US can help Liberland: Persuade Croatia it is in their interest to allow a pro-western, pro-market community that is friendly to Croatia to develop next door. Cooperating on the Liberland issue will bring considerable investment, jobs and tourism to the region - something they have sadly been standing in the way of. Ask Croatia to allow Americans to visit the area: Currently, Croatia allows EU and Schengen citizens to visit Liberland but not Americans, British, Canadians, et cetera. Americans and citizens of other allied nations who want to visit the area are summarily expelled from Croatia. The US gives considerable aid to Croatia and there is no reason they should treat Americans in this manner. Diplomatic support for Liberland in international organizations and among the community of nations. Explore the creation of trade, tax and other agreements with Liberland.  Establishing relations with Liberland is not just about affirming a small nation; it is about championing a vision of the world that aligns with traditional US values and strategic goals for peace in the region.  By supporting Liberland, the US can help stabilize and economically invigorate the Balkans, reinforcing positive US influence in a region that has been pivotal in its global affairs.

We appreciate the interest shown in the Free Republic of Liberland and welcome the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of our nation-building efforts. Original Express article: https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2047234/tiny-european-micronation-own-currency-liberland Liberland Is Not a Micronation Contrary to some media portrayals, Liberland is not a “micronation.” The term “micronation” typically refers to entities that lack a defined territory, permanent population, or governmental structure. Liberland, established on April 13, 2015, claims a 7 km² area known as Gornja Siga, situated between Croatia and Serbia. Liberland’s territory is also not subject to the border dispute between the two countries, given that neither has been asserting sovereignty over it for the last few decades. This had rendered it terra nullius under international law until President Jedlička founded Liberland on it.   Governance and Legal Framework We are not a democracy, we are a meritocracy. Liberland Merit (LLM) is not our currency, it is the political token, the voting instrument. We have chosen this model in order to acknowledge difference between the interests of people: those more interested in politics are presumed to exhibit higher competence, hence are given the opportunity to gain more relative power. In order to use LLM for voting, you need to “politically pool” them, meaning you vest them on a very long schedule. This is to prevent opportunistic purchases of voting instrument and the concentration of power in the hands of a small rich elite. Liberland operates under a constitutional framework inspired by classical liberal principles, emphasizing individual freedoms, limited government, and voluntary taxation. Our government comprises executive, legislative, and judicial branches, with officials elected through democratic processes. In October 2024, Liberland successfully conducted its first congressional elections entirely via blockchain technology, demonstrating our commitment to transparent and innovative governance.   Currency and Economic Vision Liberland’s official currency is the “Liberland Dollar (LLD),” a cryptocurrency designed to facilitate secure and transparent transactions. It is based on the ideas of the economist Milton Friedman regarding an algorithmic central bank.  While the Liberland Dollar should eventually serve as our primary medium of exchange, we recognize and accept other currencies to promote economic inclusivity - our reserves are in Bitcoin (BTC) and we are in fact historically the first country ever to accept BTC as its national reserve currency, even before El Salvador. In short: Our economic model aims to foster a free-market environment that encourages entrepreneurship and innovation. We have chosen for this thanks to the model’s great human rights record and proven economic effectiveness, as well as for its great moral qualities: this is the only way how a state can exist without taking money from its citizens by force. We are against stealing in all its forms. International Relations and Recognition While Liberland has not yet achieved formal recognition from United Nations member states, we have engaged in diplomatic discussions with several of them, as well as various entities and unrecognized states, such as Somaliland, to establish mutual cooperation.    Territorial Access and Development Access to Liberland’s territory has been subject to restrictions imposed by neighboring countries. Despite these challenges, we continue to advocate for peaceful and lawful means to establish a permanent presence on our claimed land. Our efforts include environmental conservation, infrastructure development and community-building initiatives aimed at transforming Liberland into a thriving, sustainable nation.  Conclusion Liberland represents a genuine endeavor to create a new nation grounded in the principles of liberty, transparency, and innovation. We invite individuals and governments alike to engage with us in constructive dialogue as we pursue our vision of a free and prosperous society.

Since its founding, Liberland has faced recurring incursions by Croatian authorities into its territory of Gornja Siga. While these incidents have become less frequent and less severe, they have not ceased. The threat remains real. If we had been given the freedom to develop the territory peacefully, Liberland would already have not just a permanent settlement but actual flourishing futuristic eco city. Since as early as 2023—and indeed before that—there has been consistent interest from people around the world in settling Liberland. That opportunity continues to be hampered by unlawful interference. How Does Croatia Justify These Actions? To stop these incursions, we must first understand them. The key question is: Why is Croatia doing this? We can only speculate. But another question is more directly answerable: How does Croatia justify these actions? Before 2023, Croatia claimed that their actions in Gornja Siga were purely matters of internal policy. After all, the territory lay outside of Schengen, and they saw the area as under their informal administration - and closed it shut. That changed when Croatia joined the Schengen Area in 2023—just as Liberland began opening up, carefully and legally, to the public. Since then, the Croatian authorities—often through forestry officials accompanied by police—have entered Gornja Siga repeatedly, not to enforce the rule of law, but to harass settlers, seize private property, and demolish infrastructure. Reports include the theft of solar panels, bicycles, registered trailers and boats, quads, generators, even entire prefabricated homes. These actions occur despite protests from the rightful owners and residents and they continue occurring still: most recently, a mere few days ago, an electric motorcycle was stolen. Croatia’s Claimed Legal Basis According to official correspondence from 2023, the Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked the Serbian embassy whether Croatia, now part of Schengen, was allowed to protect Schengen borders in Gornja Siga—implying permission for Croatian Border Police to act there. Serbia replied positively—welcoming Croatia’s newfound “recognition of responsibility” over the territory. Croatia interpreted this exchange as the formation of an international agreement that not only justifies border patrols but also permits other state activities in Gornja Siga. Is That Legal? In short: No. The exchange of diplomatic notes between Serbia and Croatia does not constitute a binding international treaty under international law. According to Article 2(1)(a) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), a treaty must be: “an international agreement concluded between States in written form and governed by international law, whether embodied in a single instrument or in two or more related instruments and whatever its particular designation.” Where is that instrument? None has been presented. And if the diplomatic notes are the supposed instrument, they have never been made public—contrary to the requirement that treaties affecting third parties (such as residents of Gornja Siga) must be ratified and published. Even if we accept, for argument’s sake, that the notes form a valid treaty, their content would only support border protection, not forestry actions, building inspections, tourism crackdowns, or—least of all—the seizure of private property. Domestic Law Violations Many of the Croatian actions are also incompatible with Croatia’s own Constitution. For instance, under Croatian law, state authorities—including armed police—may only operate within the national territory. Gornja Siga, however, is still an internationally disputed territory. None of Croatia’s organs, be that the Parliament, the executive or the Constitutional Court, has ever definitively ruled it as part of Croatian territory. Indeed, such an attribution would go directly against Croatian interests in the border dispute that made Liberland possible. On the contrary, many official sources such as the Croatian Cadaster show clearly that Gornja Siga is not a part of Croatia. Furthermore, Croatian foresters appear to derive their authority in Gornja Siga from sub-legal decisions of the Ministry of Economy. Such a basis is insufficient to override constitutional limits. Nor can it justify what amounts to a de facto occupation: Croatian agents acting economically and militarily to control and exploit land beyond their lawful jurisdiction. Even if such authority did exist, Croatia would still be obligated—under its own administrative law—to provide affected individuals with proper channels to appeal or contest these actions. But Liberland residents have been denied access to Croatian courts. Complaints are dismissed by letter (not formal decision), and courts are claiming they do not have jurisdiction over Liberland-related civil or criminal matters - a flat-out denial of access to justice. This raises a serious legal problem: A state cannot lawfully carry out administrative actions where there is no judicial oversight. The Constitutional Implications Croatia’s Constitution places strict limits on the activities of state organs beyond its territory. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has negotiated or acted upon agreements that exceed these constitutional boundaries, it calls into question the validity of such agreements and the legality of their enforcement. Such actions may not only be unconstitutional—they could expose those involved to disciplinary or legal consequences. They also damage the international reputation of Croatia as a democratic and law-abiding nation. A Moral Call to Action Beyond the legal arguments, we must appeal to shared values. Croatians and Liberlanders both come from a cultural tradition shaped by Christianity, classical philosophy, and a deep-rooted sense of justice. One of the oldest and clearest moral teachings is that stealing is wrong. While ancient codes sometimes excused taking from outsiders in times of war or conquest, modern European legal and ethical standards no longer make such distinctions. In the West, we believe in universal human dignity, regardless of nationality, gender, ethnicity, or religion. That principle must apply even in disputed territories—and even when it is politically inconvenient. Under international law, actions that violate the rights of civilians, including the unlawful taking of property, may still be condemned even if the status of the land is unclear. According to Article 38(1)(c) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, general principles of law recognized by civilized nations are considered a source of international law. Among these principles, the prohibition of theft is universal. A Shared Economic Opportunity In addition to the legal and moral considerations, there is a pragmatic case to be made: Liberland presents an economic opportunity for the region—and for Croatia. From the beginning, Liberland has attracted entrepreneurs, innovators, and professionals from around the world. Many of these individuals are involved in cutting-edge sectors such as technology, blockchain, remote services, and sustainable development. Their interest in settling in and around Gornja Siga signals a broader potential: a gateway for high-tech activity, responsible tourism, and international cooperation along the Danube. While Liberland has its own governance framework, our growth benefits the surrounding region. We are not a competitor to Croatia, but a potential partner in regional development. With dialogue and mutual respect, the area could flourish as a hub of innovation, eco-friendly settlement, and cross-border services, boosting economic activity in areas that are currently underutilized. In this light, cooperation is not just possible—it is desirable. What is now seen as a jurisdictional challenge could become a model of peaceful coexistence and shared prosperity. We Invite You to Join Us We call on the Croatian authorities to cease these unlawful incursions, end the robberies of private property, and ensure restitution to those affected. We also extend an open invitation to all legal scholars, diplomats, human rights defenders, and other professionals interested in justice and the rule of law: Join us. Help us ensure that Liberland can develop peacefully and lawfully, in accordance with international norms and mutual respect between neighbours. Please contact us at [email protected] if you are willing to help us resolve this issue with clarity, dignity, and speed—ideally within this year.

The Liberland Newspaper exists for a simple reason: to make visible what’s already unfolding. It is a structured, periodic publication that includes institutional news, congressional updates, development plans, international relations, and civic participation. In doing so, it consolidates a crucial dimension of any functioning republic: public communication as a form of political continuity.     The newspaper affirms what already exists in practice: Liberland functions as a sovereign state. It reports on concrete milestones such as the opening of the territory in 2023, the creation of Thomas Jefferson Square, the €30 million development initiative for this and next year, and events like the Liberland Chess Tournament and Liberpulco. It also frames the ideas that sustain Liberland’s identity — voluntary taxation, blockchain governance, minimal statehood, and individual liberty. It doesn’t speculate. It records. It doesn’t propose. It communicates. And in doing so, it fulfils one of the basic tasks of any sovereign state: making itself legible to its citizens and undeniable to the world.   Read or download the newspaper here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nJIzHRobkN9d7-wa3Uxtw0UkklQYxM-u?usp=sharing or https://cdn.liberland.org/files/raw/7d122bee74077ee4de0a6245c29b6d9a1d536bfc/17489465474650.6947810465300703-liberland-newspaper-june-2025.pdf

In a landmark encounter during the vibrant HTX Party, President Vit Jedlička of Liberland met with Prime Minister Justin Sun, marking a key moment in the micronation’s diplomatic and economic journey. Amidst the festivities, President Jedlička proudly handed over the first printed edition of the Liberland Newspaper to Prime Minister Sun. The publication outlines a bold €30 million investment plan focused on the development of infrastructure in the Liberland region—set to be rolled out over the next two years.   “We are proposing this investment plan formally to both the Croatian and Serbian governments,” said President Jedlička. “And we bring good news—after a long period of silence, we’ve finally received positive communication from Croatia. This signals a potential new chapter in our regional relationships.”   The investment strategy highlights Liberland’s growing financial strength, with resources being allocated toward the creation of a small R&D centre, a critical move to anchor technological innovation and attract forward-looking enterprises.   Diplomatic relations were also a central topic of the discussion. President Jedlička emphasized that both Croatian and Serbian dialogues are being treated with the highest level of professionalism and transparency.   Prime Minister Sun, a long-time blockchain entrepreneur and political figure, expressed curiosity over historical tensions in the region, stating:   “I don’t understand why relations have been difficult in the past. Liberland clearly presents many opportunities for economic growth in this part of Europe.”   The event underscored the potential synergy between innovation and diplomacy, as Liberland continues to build its identity as a sovereign, tech-savvy, and economically open state.   The HTX Party, known for drawing pioneers and innovators, served as the perfect backdrop for this forward-thinking exchange, symbolizing the spirit of decentralized collaboration and shared vision for a more connected future.

On 24 July 2023, the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Croatia delivered a diplomatic note to the Embassy of the Republic of Serbia. In these communications, Croatia informed the Serbian side of "certain measures" being undertaken in the area of Gornja Siga, to "protect the borders of the Republic of Croatia" and, by extension, the external borders of the Schengen Area. Although the precise nature of these measures was left unspecified, a plain reading suggests that they likely involve the deployment of border police to patrol and monitor the area to prevent illegal migration. This goal was explicitly mentioned, with particular reference to Gornja Siga’s proximity to known migration routes used for people smuggling. The Liberland community fully acknowledges and supports Croatia’s legitimate efforts to prevent illegal migration, human trafficking, and transnational smuggling activities. These are concerns of utmost importance not only to Croatia, but also to the broader European community and our own community. We all benefit from regional stability and security. The Liberland community shares a strong commitment to the rule of law and to the principles of peaceful coexistence with our neighbors. To that end, we are prepared to support Croatia’s border security efforts in the following ways: Information sharing on movement in the Gornja Siga area, including identification of individuals intending to visit, and their compliance with legal norms. Voluntary coordination of visitor activity, through registration systems and designated visitation schedules, to ensure full transparency and order. Joint monitoring or observation arrangements We believe that the orderly and peaceful visitation of the Gornja Siga territory is in the best interest of both Croatia and the Liberland community, regardless of any future outcome of the larger border dispute. We are keen to understand Croatia’s underlying concerns, with the aim of aligning our policies more closely and ensuring a framework that reflects Liberland’s commitment to openness and peaceful and friendly relations.  Unfortunately, misunderstandings have resulted in the banning of certain EU citizens from Croatia, as well as the issuance of 90-day entry bans to third-country nationals who sought only to legally visit the area, including U.S., UK and Australian citizens. We must point out that these individuals have not violated any Croatian or European Union law.  We respectfully note that under Article 6 and Article 21 of Regulation (EU) 2016/399, known as the Schengen Borders Code, third-country nationals who are legally present in the Schengen Area are entitled to move freely within the territory for up to 90 days within any 180-day period, provided they meet the entry conditions. Expulsion with no legal basis raises concerns regarding the application of these principles and this targeted differential treatment of non-EU citizens contradicts principles of equality before the law. In the spirit of good neighborly relations and European cooperation, we therefore propose the establishment of a direct communication channel between our respective authorities in which we share as much information as possible.  We ask you to let us demonstrate that the Liberland community does not seek to undermine Croatian interests in any way; we want to bring investment, jobs and tourism to the region. We are prepared to participate in a bilateral meeting aimed at developing a mutually acceptable framework for border regime management in the Gornja Siga area. We believe such cooperation will help prevent misunderstandings and reinforce our shared goals of regional stability and lawful conduct. We are confident that such a solution would meet Croatia’s border control and security needs.

For the English version, click here. Dana 24. srpnja 2023. godine, Ministarstvo vanjskih i europskih poslova Republike Hrvatske dostavilo je diplomatsku notu Veleposlanstvu Republike Srbije. U navedenoj komunikaciji, Hrvatska je srpsku stranu obavijestila o „određenim mjerama” koje se poduzimaju na području Gornje Sige, s ciljem „zaštite granica Republike Hrvatske”, a posljedično i vanjskih granica Schengenskog prostora. Iako točna priroda tih mjera nije bila specificirana, iz sadržaja se može zaključiti da se vjerojatno radi o raspoređivanju granične policije radi nadzora i ophodnje područjem, u cilju sprječavanja ilegalnih migracija. Taj cilj je izričito spomenut, s posebnim naglaskom na blizinu Gornje Sige poznatim migrantskim rutama koje se koriste za krijumčarenje ljudi. Zajednica Liberlanda u potpunosti priznaje i podržava legitimne napore Hrvatske u sprječavanju ilegalnih migracija, trgovine ljudima i transnacionalnih krijumčarskih aktivnosti. Ova su pitanja od najveće važnosti ne samo za Hrvatsku, već i za širu europsku zajednicu i našu vlastitu zajednicu. Svi imamo koristi od regionalne stabilnosti i sigurnosti. Zajednica Liberlanda dijeli snažnu predanost vladavini prava i načelima mirnog suživota sa susjedima. U tom smislu, spremni smo podržati napore Hrvatske za sigurnost granica na sljedeće načine: Dijeljenje informacija o kretanju u području Gornje Sige, uključujući identifikaciju osoba koje namjeravaju posjetiti to područje i njihovo poštivanje zakonskih normi. Dobrovoljna koordinacija aktivnosti posjetitelja, putem sustava registracije i rasporeda posjeta, kako bi se osigurala potpuna transparentnost i red. Zajednički nadzor ili promatrački aranžmani. Vjerujemo da je uredan i miran posjet području Gornje Sige u najboljem interesu i Hrvatske i zajednice Liberlanda, neovisno o budućem ishodu šireg graničnog spora. Zainteresirani smo razumjeti dublje razloge zabrinutosti Hrvatske, s ciljem bolje usklađenosti naših politika i osiguranja okvira koji odražava predanost Liberlanda otvorenosti te mirnim i prijateljskim odnosima. Nažalost, nedavni nesporazumi doveli su do zabrane ulaska određenim građanima EU-a u Hrvatsku, kao i do izdavanja zabrana ulaska od 90 dana za državljane trećih zemalja koji su samo željeli zakonito posjetiti to područje — uključujući građane SAD-a, Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva i Australije. Moramo naglasiti da te osobe nisu prekršile nijedan zakon Republike Hrvatske niti Europske unije. S poštovanjem podsjećamo da su prema članku 6. i članku 21. Uredbe (EU) 2016/399, poznate kao Zakonik o schengenskim granicama, državljani trećih zemalja koji se zakonito nalaze u Schengenskom prostoru ovlašteni slobodno se kretati unutar tog područja do 90 dana unutar bilo kojeg razdoblja od 180 dana, pod uvjetom da ispunjavaju uvjete ulaska. Ograničavanje pristupa bez pravne osnove izaziva zabrinutost u vezi s primjenom ovih načela. U duhu dobrosusjedskih odnosa i europske suradnje, predlažemo uspostavu izravnog komunikacijskog kanala između naših nadležnih tijela, kroz koji bi se razmjenjivale sve dostupne informacije. Nadalje, spremni smo sudjelovati u bilateralnom sastanku s ciljem razvoja međusobno prihvatljivog okvira za upravljanje graničnim režimom u području Gornje Sige. Vjerujemo da bi takva suradnja pomogla u sprječavanju nesporazuma i učvrstila zajedničke ciljeve regionalne stabilnosti i zakonitog postupanja. Uvjereni smo da bi takvo rješenje zadovoljilo potrebe Hrvatske za nadzorom i sigurnošću granice.

Mon 21 April, Liberland Ark Village, Serbia – Over the past week, the Liberland Popup City in Serbia has brought together thinkers, builders, and free spirits to explore what a self-sovereign community can look and feel like in real life. Our Decentralized Space Week was a clear highlight, with participants engaging in meaningful discussions across disciplines such as space exploration, agriculture, energy, space nutrition, and philosophy. Mealtimes became moments of genuine connection, and the atmosphere reflected the spirit of collaboration and openness that defines Liberland. As our international presence continues to grow, key members of our core team, including President Vít Jedlička, have been invited to take part in exclusive diplomatic and strategic engagements abroad. In the coming weeks, Liberland will be present in both the United Arab Emirates and Mauritius, where new partnerships, recognition efforts, and community expansion opportunities await. With this shift in focus, the Popup City in Serbia will conclude earlier than originally outlined. This is a natural step in the evolution of our efforts. We see this moment not as a pause but as a transition into a broader phase of activity that remains aligned with our long-term goals. Our commitment to building spaces for decentralized science, space innovation, and sovereign collaboration remains unchanged. We are deeply thankful to everyone who joined us, contributed ideas, and helped create an environment that felt alive with possibility. This was only the beginning. We look forward to sharing what comes next.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Free Republic of Liberland extends its condolences to the Vatican on the passing of Pope Francis. His Excellency Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher   Secretary for Relations with States and International Organizations   Secretariat of State   Palazzo Apostolico Città del Vaticano   Your Excellency: It is with deep sorrow that I write to you on behalf of the government and people of the Free Republic of Liberland to express our heartfelt condolences upon the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. Pope Francis’ life was a testimony to humility, compassion, and unwavering dedication to the service of humanity. His commitment to the values of peace, fraternity and dialogue among peoples and nations touched countless lives across the world, transcending borders, faiths and cultures. His leadership and advocacy for the dignity of every person will continue to inspire generations to come. At this moment of mourning, we extend our sympathies to all members of the Catholic fraternity across the globe, many of whom are citizens and strong supporters of Liberland. Please be assured, Your Excellency, of our prayers for the eternal repose of His Holiness and for the consolation of all who mourn his passing. Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration. Respectfully,   Thomas Walls  Minister of Foreign Affairs

With cooperation and dialogue, Croatia can exert more influence on the Liberland community in Gornja Siga, allowing us to envision a future in which we proudly work and live together. As we celebrate Easter, the Liberland community takes pride in being founded on the principles of peace, dialogue and voluntary cooperation. We unequivocally renounce any form of violence. Violence has no place in our philosophy, our governance or our community-building efforts. This community was founded on the land of Gornja Siga so as to not infringe on the territorial claims of any other country. Our mission is to foster prosperity, freedom, and innovation — not conflict. And true diplomacy is arriving at areas of agreement where there were none before. This involves having empathy and at the very least a sincere attempt at understanding the other side’s position. This does not automatically remove disagreements, but it does set the stage for arriving at solutions that address all parties’ fundamental needs. To be sure, Liberland supports Croatia’s position in several essential questions.  We deeply respect Croatia as a sovereign nation and its right and duty to protect its borders. We fully support Croatia’s efforts to safeguard its territorial integrity and public order. We stand behind their efforts to deter human trafficking, illegal migration, smuggling and other vital elements of their national security policy – naturally, this benefits our community as well. Our activities are not meant in any way to undermine Croatia’s interests, but to complement and enhance the region’s development. In fact, the presence of Liberland’s community in Gornja Siga does not conflict with Croatia’s version of its border claims – no matter the final outcome of the dispute.  As we understand it, Croatian authorities assert they may pursue a future claim on the land to the exclusion of any other party. We take a different position, and we emphasize our right to disagree. Persons who simply hold other opinions about border questions do not deserve to be discriminated against or expelled as they have been on a few occasions. However, we can try to analyse the reasoning. Perhaps Croatia feels if it loses the larger dispute with Serbia, they will obtain Gornja Siga as a consolation prize.  There also are strong emotional sensitivities stemming from the war that was fought over Serb-held territory, although Siga was not part of this conflict and was decidedly not included in the area of Eastern Slavonia integrated into Croatia following the Erdut Agreement and UNTAES occupation from 1995-1998.  With these facts in mind, it also benefits us to appreciate the sentiments of those who fought and gave up so much during the conflicts of the 1990s. Many Liberlanders are serious students of the region’s history and conflicts, and we would never seek to belittle the sacrifices made by Croatian patriots for their country. While our task would be somewhat easier were it not for this legacy, we salute the veterans and what they gave to achieve their country’s independence.  If there are some other articulations for the Croatian government position on Gornja Siga, we are open to hear them. However, we do feel that intimating a future claim on the territory weakens Croatia’s overall position in the border dispute, as their total claim to pockets on the other side of the Danube comprises roughly ten times the area of Gornja Siga.  The existence of the Gornja Siga community does not take a single square inch of land away from Croatia, nor does it compromise its vital national interests. On the contrary, we firmly believe that a peaceful and cooperative relationship between Croatia and Liberland will benefit both communities. We truly love freedom and what we are building. Croatian citizens are warmly invited to participate in our development, whether through cultural exchange, business ventures or personal engagement. Many Liberlanders are doing their best to learn conversational Croatian and to appreciate the history, culture and nature of the region as well as that of the rest of the country. There are concrete ways in which Liberland can gladly contribute to Croatia’s prosperity, including: Investment: We aim to channel significant private investment into the region, creating opportunities for Croatian entrepreneurs, service providers and suppliers. We are currently working to structure a large fund to identify and invest in several projects in Croatia, including a solar park, recycling plant, golf course, infrastructure improvements and much more. Employment: Development projects associated with Liberland offer new employment opportunities for local Croatian communities in construction, hospitality, infrastructure and technology sectors. Tourism: Liberland’s unique story has drawn much international media attention. With proper cooperation and encouragement, the surrounding Croatian regions can expect a surge in tourism, benefiting local businesses and municipalities. Of course we have been eager to learn more about the needs and aspirations of our neighbours. We extend our hand in friendship and cooperation to the Croatian government and people. We remain open to dialogue and engagement, and we reaffirm our commitment to acting within the framework of international law and mutual respect. Liberland stands for peace, prosperity, and partnership — never for violence or any form of extremism. With cooperation and dialogue, Croatia can exert more influence on the Gornja Siga community, allowing us to envision a future in which we proudly work and live together. Happy Easter. Thomas Walls Minister of Foreign Affairs

Suradnjom i dijalogom Hrvatska može više utjecati na zajednicu Gornja Siga, omogućujući nam da zamislimo budućnost u kojoj ponosno radimo i živimo zajedno. Dok slavimo Uskrs, zajednica Liberlanda ponosi se što je utemeljena na načelima mira, dijaloga i dobrovoljne suradnje. Nedvosmisleno se odričemo svakog oblika nasilja. Nasilju nema mjesta u našoj filozofiji, našem upravljanju ili našim naporima za izgradnju zajednice. Ova zajednica je osnovana na zemljištu Gornje Sige kako ne bi narušavala teritorijalne zahtjeve bilo koje druge zemlje. Naša je misija poticati prosperitet, slobodu i inovacije – a ne sukobe. A prava diplomacija dolazi do područja dogovora gdje ih prije nije bilo. To uključuje empatiju i u najmanju ruku iskren pokušaj razumijevanja pozicije druge strane. To ne uklanja automatski neslaganja, ali postavlja pozornicu za postizanje rješenja koja se odnose na temeljne potrebe svih strana. Doduše, Liberland podržava hrvatski stav u nekoliko bitnih pitanja.  Duboko poštujemo Hrvatsku kao suverenu državu i njezino pravo i dužnost da štiti svoje granice. U potpunosti podupiremo nastojanja Hrvatske da zaštiti svoju teritorijalnu cjelovitost i javni poredak. Stojimo iza njihovih nastojanja da odvrate trgovinu ljudima, ilegalnu migraciju, krijumčarenje i druge vitalne elemente njihove nacionalne sigurnosne politike – naravno, to koristi i našoj zajednici. Naše aktivnosti ni na koji način nemaju za cilj narušiti interese Hrvatske, već nadopuniti i unaprijediti razvoj regije. Zapravo, prisutnost zajednice Liberlanda u Gornjoj Sigi nije u sukobu s hrvatskom verzijom njezinih graničnih zahtjeva – bez obzira na konačni ishod spora.  Koliko smo razumjeli, hrvatske vlasti tvrde da mogu tražiti buduće zahtjeve za zemljištem isključujući bilo koju drugu stranu. Mi zauzimamo drugačiji stav i ističemo svoje pravo na neslaganje. Osobe koje jednostavno imaju drugačije mišljenje o graničnim pitanjima ne zaslužuju biti diskriminirane ili protjerivane kao što je to slučaj u nekoliko navrata. Međutim, možemo pokušati analizirati obrazloženje. Možda Hrvatska smatra da će, ako izgubi veći spor sa Srbijom, dobiti Gornju Sigu kao utješnu nagradu.  Također postoje snažne emocionalne osjetljivosti koje proizlaze iz rata koji se vodio oko teritorija pod kontrolom Srba, iako Siga nije bila dio ovog sukoba i definitivno nije bila uključena u područje istočne Slavonije integrirano u Hrvatsku nakon Erdutskog sporazuma i okupacije UNTAES-a od 1995. do 1998.  Imajući na umu ove činjenice, također nam koristi da cijenimo osjećaje onih koji su se toliko borili i odricali tijekom sukoba 1990-ih. Mnogi Liberlandci ozbiljni su proučavatelji povijesti i sukoba u regiji i nikada ne bismo nastojali omalovažiti žrtve koje su hrvatski domoljubi podnijeli za svoju zemlju. Iako bi naš zadatak bio nešto lakši da nije bilo ovog naslijeđa, pozdravljamo veterane i ono što su dali za postizanje neovisnosti svoje zemlje.  Ako postoje još neke artikulacije za stav hrvatske Vlade o Gornjoj Sigi, spremni smo ih čuti. Međutim, smatramo da nagovještavanje budućih zahtjeva za teritorijem slabi ukupnu poziciju Hrvatske u graničnom sporu, jer njihov ukupni zahtjev za džepovima s druge strane Dunava obuhvaća otprilike deset puta više od područja Gornje Sige.  Postojanje zajednice Gornja Siga Hrvatskoj ne oduzima niti jedan četvorni pedalj zemlje, niti ugrožava njezine vitalne nacionalne interese. Naprotiv, čvrsto vjerujemo da će miran i suradnički odnos između Hrvatske i Liberlanda biti od koristi objema zajednicama. Zaista volimo slobodu i ono što gradimo. Hrvatski građani srdačno su pozvani da sudjeluju u našem razvoju, bilo kroz kulturnu razmjenu, poslovne pothvate ili osobni angažman. Mnogi stanovnici Liberlanda daju sve od sebe kako bi naučili razgovorni hrvatski i cijenili povijest, kulturu i prirodu regije, kao i ostatka zemlje. Postoje konkretni načini na koje Liberland može rado doprinijeti prosperitetu Hrvatske, uključujući: Ulaganje : Cilj nam je usmjeriti značajna privatna ulaganja u regiju, stvarajući prilike za hrvatske poduzetnike, pružatelje usluga i dobavljače. Trenutačno radimo na strukturiranju velikog fonda za identificiranje i ulaganje u nekoliko projekata u Hrvatskoj, uključujući solarni park, tvornicu za reciklažu, golf igralište, poboljšanja infrastrukture i još mnogo toga. Zapošljavanje : Razvojni projekti povezani s Liberlandom nude nove mogućnosti zapošljavanja lokalnim hrvatskim zajednicama u građevinarstvu, ugostiteljstvu, infrastrukturi i tehnološkom sektoru. Turizam : Jedinstvena priča Liberlanda privukla je veliku pozornost međunarodnih medija. Uz odgovarajuću suradnju i poticanje, okolne hrvatske regije mogu očekivati ​​porast turizma, od čega će imati koristi lokalna poduzeća i općine. Naravno da smo bili željni saznati više o potrebama i težnjama naših susjeda. Pružamo ruku prijateljstva i suradnje hrvatskoj vladi i narodu. Ostajemo otvoreni za dijalog i angažman te ponovno potvrđujemo našu predanost djelovanju u okviru međunarodnog prava i međusobnog poštovanja. Liberland se zalaže za mir, prosperitet i partnerstvo – nikada za nasilje ili bilo koji oblik ekstremizma. Suradnjom i dijalogom Hrvatska može više utjecati na zajednicu Gornja Siga, omogućujući nam da zamislimo budućnost u kojoj ponosno radimo i živimo zajedno.  Sretan Uskrs! Thomas Walls Ministar vanjskih poslova

As the Free Republic of Liberland celebrated its 10th anniversary, international media spotlighted its evolution from bold vision to functioning microstate. President Vít Jedlička’s appearance on WGN-TV Morning News brought Liberland’s story to a global audience, marking a milestone not only for the country’s development — but for its recognition in the mainstream conversation on liberty, blockchain governance, and the future of the state. On the 10th anniversary of its founding, the Free Republic of Liberland reaffirmed its place as one of the world’s most ambitious political and technological projects. What began on April 13, 2015, as a bold declaration of sovereignty by President Vít Jedlička has grown into a global community of citizens, entrepreneurs, blockchain pioneers, and defenders of individual liberty. Ten years later, Liberland stands not as a utopian dream, but as a functioning microstate advancing a serious alternative to centralized government.   The anniversary celebrations took place from April 11 to 13, 2025, at the Liberland Ark Village, the official settlement project located near the Danube. There, citizens, ambassadors, digital nomads, and innovators gathered for three days of speeches, workshops, networking events, and strategy sessions aimed at expanding Liberland’s reach and deepening its institutional presence. The atmosphere was festive but purposeful: this was not a nostalgic tribute to the past but a strategic milestone for the future.   One of the highlights was President Jedlička’s appearance on WGN-TV Morning News, a major U.S. media outlet, where he presented Liberland’s progress on the global stage. In the interview, he discussed how the nation has developed a voluntary governance model, issued thousands of e-residencies and citizenships, adopted a blockchain-based economy via the Liberland Dollar (LLD), and attracted investors, developers, and free thinkers from more than 100 countries.   Jedlička emphasized that Liberland’s governance is built on firm philosophical ground: it operates without coercion, taxation is voluntary, and all interactions between the state and its citizens are based on consent. He framed Liberland not as a breakaway or symbolic gesture, but as a serious contender in the redefinition of statehood in the 21st century. “We are not trying to fix the old systems,” he said. “We are building something better from the ground up.”   The interview came at a time of increasing visibility for Liberland. Its native currency, LLD, has seen a surge in activity, and its institutions continue to expand. With diplomatic missions now present in dozens of countries and key partnerships emerging in the blockchain and Web3 sectors, Liberland is positioning itself as both a haven for innovators and a lighthouse for the liberty-minded.   The 10th anniversary was not just a celebration — it was a declaration: Liberland is here, it is growing, and it is ready to lead.   🎥 Watch President Vít Jedlička’s full interview on WGN-TV and see how Liberland is reshaping the future of governance: 👉 Watch on YouTube

 Avenida Independencia No. 752  Estancia San Gerónimo, 
Santo Domingo, República Dominicana Your Excellency: The people of Liberland would like to extend our sincerest condolences and prayers to all those affected by the tragic accident that occurred at the Jet Set nightclub in Santo Domingo. As many in the Liberland community have close ties to the Dominican Republic and its people, we are especially affected by the news of this devastating tragedy, and we share your grief and concern for all of those who have been impacted.  Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration. Yours sincerely, Thomas D. Walls Minister of Foreign Affairs Rabbi Yoav Altman Liberland Representative to the Dominican Republic

Vienna, 2 April 2025 — The Free Republic of Liberland marked a significant milestone in its diplomatic outreach and international presence by participating in the 2025 United Nations International Day of Conscience celebration, held at the Vienna Headquarters during the World Leader Summit of Love and Peace. This global event brought together statesmen, thought leaders, and representatives from across the world to reaffirm the central role of conscience in shaping peace, justice, and mutual understanding among nations. Representing Liberland at this high-level summit, the President of the Republic delivered a formal address, positioning the young microstate as a champion of liberty, dialogue, and moral responsibility on the world stage. His letter, read at the Vienna UN HQ, articulated a vision of global peace anchored in personal conscience and individual freedom—principles that are foundational to the Liberland experiment. “In Liberland, a nation founded on the principles of personal liberty and minimal governance,” stated the President, “we believe that true peace begins with the individual.” He emphasized that conscience is not merely a private moral compass, but a civic force capable of inspiring societies rooted in respect, love, and justice. The address resonated strongly with the spirit of the summit, which called on world leaders to move beyond ceremonial declarations and instead awaken a culture of peace through concrete actions. Liberland’s message stood out by offering a philosophical and libertarian perspective on conscience as the grounding principle of a free and harmonious society. As the world grapples with conflict, inequality, and ecological strain, the President’s words called for an alternative path—one that rejects coercion in favour of example, innovation, and open dialogue. “Liberland stands ready to contribute,” he affirmed, “not through force or coercion, but through example.” Though still in its formative years, Liberland continues to engage with international partners to promote a model of governance based on voluntary cooperation, limited state intervention, and a profound respect for individual autonomy. Its presence at the UN International Day of Conscience signals its intent to take part in the global conversation—not as a traditional state actor wielding geopolitical power, but as a principled voice grounded in the moral value of liberty. This year’s summit in Vienna reasserted that conscience is not a relic of personal ethics, but a tool for collective transformation. Liberland’s participation helped frame that transformation within the ideals of libertarian philosophy, offering a timely and unique contribution to a world in search of new paradigms for peace.

On 3 April 2025, the Free Republic of Liberland had the honour of bestowing its highest state decoration, the Medal of Merit, upon Dr. Hong, Tao-Tze, President of the Federation of World Peace and Love (FOWPAL). This prestigious award recognizes individuals whose efforts have significantly advanced the causes of liberty, peace, and human dignity — principles that lie at the very heart of the Liberland project. Dr. Hong is not only a spiritual leader but also a statesman of conscience. Through the Federation of World Peace and Love, which he founded in 2000, Dr. Hong has led an extraordinary campaign for global awareness of the moral responsibilities we all share. He has personally travelled to over 75 countries, conducting peace bell ceremonies with presidents, prime ministers, and heads of international organizations. These acts are far from symbolic alone — they carry with them a profound call for the rekindling of personal conscience in political, civic, and individual life. Among Dr. Hong’s most significant achievements is his contribution to the establishment of the United Nations’ International Day of Conscience, observed globally on 5 April. This day encourages all individuals to reflect inwardly and act outwardly in accordance with their highest ethical convictions — a concept that strongly resonates with Liberland’s motto, “to live and let live.” In this, Dr. Hong and Liberland speak a shared language: one of responsibility without coercion, peace without submission, and action without domination. Liberland is a small nation with a grand vision. Founded on libertarian principles, it seeks to create a new model of statehood — one that places individual sovereignty, voluntary association, and transparent governance above bureaucratic control and centralized power. In Dr. Hong, Liberland recognizes not only a fellow traveller but a global pioneer whose work reinforces the idea that true peace must be chosen freely and built on the foundation of personal virtue. The Medal of Merit is not awarded lightly. It is reserved for those whose contributions transcend borders and touch the core of what it means to be free. By presenting it to Dr. Hong, Liberland acknowledges the immense value of his humanitarian efforts and the alignment of his mission with our national values. His leadership serves as a moral compass in a world increasingly adrift in technocracy and cynicism. We believe that a freer world is a more peaceful one. Dr. Hong embodies this belief — not only in words, but in relentless action, grounded in humility and hope. This medal is a symbol of our gratitude, but also of our ongoing alliance with those working to build a world governed not by force, but by conscience. Thank you, Dr. Hong, for your courage, your clarity, and your enduring commitment to peace. Your light does not shine alone — it is joined now by a nation that shares your dream.

In an era where calls for reform and innovation in governance are louder than ever, two distinct initiatives—the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the United States and Liberland, a microstate on the Danube River—emerge as unlikely allies in a shared mission. The Department of Government Efficiency, a proposed US federal initiative spearheaded by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to streamline government operations and reduce bureaucratic waste. Liberland, founded by Vít Jedlička in 2015, seeks to create a society with minimal government interference, rooted in libertarian principles. Despite their vastly different contexts—one operating within the framework of a global superpower and the other as a fledgling microstate—both the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland share the same end goals: to enhance individual freedom, promote efficiency through decentralization, and foster innovation by reducing the role of government. This article explores how these two entities, through their respective approaches, converge on a vision for a more liberated and efficient future Origins: Addressing Government Overreach and Inefficiency The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was proposed in late 2024 by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as part of Donald Trump’s incoming administration. The initiative aimed to tackle the inefficiencies of the US federal government, which Musk and Ramaswamy criticized for its bloated bureaucracy and wasteful spending. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, they outlined a plan to cut the federal budget by $2 trillion, reduce the number of federal agencies from over 400 to 99, and eliminate unnecessary regulations. The name “DOGE” playfully references Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency Musk has championed, reflecting the initiative’s blend of serious reform with a lighthearted approach. As of April 6, 2025, while the Department of Government Efficiency has not been formally established, its ideas have sparked significant debate about the role of government in the US, with Musk recently advocating for blockchain technology to enhance transparency in federal operations. Liberland, by contrast, was founded in 2015 on a 7-square-kilometer patch of unclaimed land between Croatia and Serbia. Vít Jedlička, a Czech libertarian, declared this territory the Free Republic of Liberland, envisioning a microstate where government is minimal, and individual liberty is paramount. With a motto of “live and let live,” Liberland’s constitution limits the state’s role to security, justice, and diplomacy, leaving citizens free to govern themselves through voluntary cooperation. Despite challenges like Croatian police interference and lack of international recognition, Liberland has attracted over 500,000 citizenship applications, reflecting a global desire for a society free from overbearing regulation. Both the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland were born from a frustration with government overreach and inefficiency. DOGE seeks to reform an existing system by cutting waste and reducing the state’s footprint, while Liberland creates a new system altogether, one where government is stripped down to its essentials. Their origins highlight a shared goal: to address the failures of traditional governance and create systems that prioritize individual freedom and efficiency. Minimizing Government to Maximize Freedom A central tenet of both the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland is the belief that reducing the size and scope of government leads to greater individual freedom. The Department of Government Efficiency aims to achieve this by slashing federal spending and eliminating redundant programs. Musk and Ramaswamy have argued that the US government’s $6.8 trillion budget (as of 2024) is riddled with inefficiencies, from overlapping agencies to outdated regulations that stifle innovation. Their plan includes reducing the federal workforce, cutting programs that no longer serve a purpose, and adopting a “Spartan mindset” to government operations. By minimizing government interference, DOGE seeks to empower individuals and businesses to thrive without the burden of excessive oversight. Liberland takes this principle to its logical extreme. Its governance model is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, with the state’s role limited to protecting individual rights. Liberland’s direct democracy allows citizens to propose and vote on laws, ensuring that governance reflects the will of the people rather than a distant bureaucracy. The microstate’s constitution explicitly prohibits the government from engaging in activities beyond its core functions, creating a society where individuals are free to pursue their goals without fear of overregulation. This aligns closely with DOGE’s vision of a leaner government that serves its citizens rather than controls them. Both initiatives share the end goal of maximizing freedom by minimizing government. The Department of Government Efficiency focuses on reforming an existing system to make it more efficient, while Liberland builds a new system from scratch. Their approaches may differ, but their underlying belief is the same: less government means more freedom for individuals to live and work as they choose. Decentralization as a Tool for Efficiency and Transparency Decentralization is another area where the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland converge, as both see it as a key to improving efficiency and transparency. The Department of Government Efficiency has proposed using technology to make government operations more accountable to the public. Musk has suggested live-streaming DOGE meetings and publishing a “leaderboard” of the most wasteful government spending, allowing citizens to see exactly where their tax dollars are going. Additionally, Musk’s recent comments about integrating blockchain technology into the US Treasury suggest that DOGE might explore decentralized systems to enhance financial transparency and reduce corruption, ensuring that government actions are open to scrutiny. Liberland has already implemented decentralization through its use of blockchain technology. Since its founding, Liberland has adopted Bitcoin as its national currency and later introduced its own token, Merit (LLM) and Liberland Dollar (LLD). The microstate plans to implement its legal system on the blockchain, creating a transparent and tamper-proof record of laws and transactions. This approach not only aligns with Liberland’s libertarian principles but also ensures that governance is accountable to its citizens. By accepting donations in Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum, Liberland has positioned itself as a pioneer in decentralized finance, demonstrating how technology can be used to create more efficient and transparent systems. Both the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland recognize that decentralization can reduce inefficiencies and empower individuals. DOGE’s focus on transparency through technology mirrors Liberland’s use of blockchain to ensure that power remains in the hands of citizens. By prioritizing decentralization, they aim to create systems that are more responsive to the needs of the people, rather than the interests of a centralized authority. Fostering Innovation by Reducing Barriers Innovation is a cornerstone of both the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland’s visions, as they believe that reducing government interference unleashes human potential. The Department of Government Efficiency aims to create an environment where businesses and individuals can innovate without being bogged down by red tape. Musk and Ramaswamy have pointed to examples like the slow pace of infrastructure projects in the US, which they argue is due to excessive regulation and bureaucratic inefficiency. By cutting regulations and reducing government spending, DOGE seeks to foster a more dynamic economy where entrepreneurs can experiment and innovate freely, driving progress in fields like technology, energy, and infrastructure. Liberland shares this commitment to innovation but applies it to an entirely new societal framework. By minimizing government and embracing technologies like blockchain, Liberland creates a sandbox for experimentation. The microstate has attracted entrepreneurs, tech enthusiasts, and libertarians who see it as a testing ground for new ideas, from decentralized finance to sustainable living. Liberland’s tech-forward approach—evident in its use of blockchain for governance and its acceptance of cryptocurrency donations—demonstrates its commitment to fostering an environment where innovation can thrive unhindered by traditional systems. Both the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland view freedom from government interference as a prerequisite for innovation. DOGE seeks to remove barriers within an existing system, while Liberland builds a new system altogether. Their shared belief is that when individuals are free from excessive control, they can create solutions that benefit society as a whole—whether that’s a new technology in the US or a novel governance model in Liberland. Building Movements for Change While the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland operate in different contexts, both have inspired movements united by a desire for change. The Department of Government Efficiency has captured the attention of Americans frustrated with government inefficiency, particularly among those who resonate with Musk’s and Ramaswamy’s outsider perspectives. Platforms like X have been abuzz with discussions about DOGE, with users sharing ideas and memes about how to “drain the swamp” of bureaucratic waste. This grassroots enthusiasm reflects a broader movement for government reform, one that the Department of Government Efficiency aims to channel into actionable change. Liberland, meanwhile, has built a global community of libertarians, dreamers, and innovators. Despite its small physical footprint, Liberland has connected over 500,000 prospective citizens through digital platforms like email, WhatsApp, and Skype. Events like Liberland’s first wedding in 2020, between Anna and Christian, highlight the personal bonds formed within this community, united by a shared vision of freedom. Liberland’s network of representatives around the world further amplifies its message, creating a global movement for minimalist governance. Both the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland demonstrate the power of community in driving change. DOGE taps into a widespread desire for government reform in the US, while Liberland offers a radical alternative for those seeking to escape traditional systems altogether. Their ability to inspire and mobilize communities underscores their shared goal of empowering individuals to take control of their futures. A Shared Vision for a Freer, More Efficient Future Ultimately, the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland share the same end goals: to create a world where freedom, efficiency, and innovation enable individuals to thrive. The Department of Government Efficiency seeks to achieve this by reforming the US government, reducing its size and scope to make it more efficient and transparent. Liberland, by contrast, builds a new society from the ground up, offering a model where government is minimal and citizens are free to live as they choose. Despite their different approaches, both are driven by a belief that less government leads to more freedom, and that technology can play a key role in making this vision a reality. As of 6 April 2025, both the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland continue to evolve. The Department of Government Efficiency remains a topic of debate in the US, with Musk and Ramaswamy advocating for its implementation as part of Trump’s administration. Liberland, meanwhile, is expanding its presence on the Danube, with ongoing efforts to formalize its governance and economy. Together, the Department of Government Efficiency and Liberland remind us that the pursuit of freedom and efficiency transcends borders and systems, uniting seemingly disparate initiatives in a shared dream of a better, more liberated future.

As Liberland does not collect mandatory taxes, we do not force anyone to send their money to other countries. As Dr. Ron Paul, our most famous citizen, has pointed out, “Foreign aid is taking money from poor people in a rich country and giving it to rich people in a poor country." Changing Assistance Patterns Liberland, Croatia and US Foreign Aid Programmes Since its founding, Liberland has sought friendship and good relations among the community of nations. Its policies are rooted in peace and freedom of commerce. Traditional nation-states tax their citizens and spend the funds abroad to buy influence and pursue foreign policy goals. Since the Cold War, aid has often been coupled with membership in military alliances. Such policies are carried out in service of the military-industrial complex or as direct benefits to well-connected corporate interests through loan guarantees, export subsidies and other distortions of the market.  Even with no apparent strings attached, government-to-government development aid has often caused much more harm than good (see the devastating critique of it by late development economist and Mont Pelerin Society member Peter Bauer), enriching ruling elites of third-world nations in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. As Dr. Ron Paul, our most famous citizen, has pointed out, “Foreign aid is taking money from poor people in a rich country and giving it to rich people in a poor country." “Foreign aid is taking money from poor people in a rich country and giving it to rich people in a poor country." - Ron Paul As Liberland does not collect mandatory taxes, we do not force anyone to send their money to other countries. Our charitable campaigns - in large part managed by the non-profit Liberland Aid Foundation - are organized voluntarily and rely on the generosity of Liberland citizens and supporters.  These LAF campaigns have helped people in need in Somaliland, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Serbia, Croatia, El Salvador, Peru, Cambodia and other places. El Salvador In 2021, when El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender, we had the idea of running a campaign and making a donation to a worthy cause in this kindred, forward-looking and ambitious country. We found the ideal recipient in the Benjamin Bloom Children’s Hospital in San Salvador, which in fact provides care to children from surrounding countries too. Our supporters, excited about El Salvador’s bold foray into crypto and Liberland’s blossoming relation with it, pitched in over US 65K to the campaign at a moment’s notice.  Liberland’s delegation to the country was given an official welcome and the Bitcoin donation was televised. In fact, our donation was the impetus for the hospital to enable its own Bitcoin wallet to receive the money. Our team also met with several ministers, parliamentarians and other officials, reviewing a series of economic proposals in which El Salvador and Liberland could jointly cooperate, focusing on entrepreneurship and job creation rather than handouts. These ranged from exporting Salvadoran goods to Serbia’s free trade zones to participating in President Bukele’s plans to build Bitcoin City. We were invited and thanked by President Bukele himself at the same event Bitcoin City was announced. However, something very curious happened next… Croatia Attempts to Out-do Liberland Almost out of nowhere, Croatia suddenly promised El Salvador a slightly larger amount of aid than Liberland’s donation. Apart from some military assistance to Ukraine and infrastructure aid to neighbouring Bosnia-Herzegovina, where many Croats live, Croatia has virtually no Official Development Assistance (ODA) programmes at all.  Croatia itself is a huge welfare recipient, netting millions from the EU and the United States annually. However, they were not to be outdone by a neighbouring upstart country. Croatia offered to top the Liberland campaign and signalled they would be willing to fund a handful of projects in order to dissuade their engagement with Liberland.  We remain baffled as to why Croatia would spend taxpayer resources on discouraging something that would ultimately benefit them. A thriving Liberland would bring considerable business, investment and tourism to Croatia. We can bring more jobs to a region that has seen a mass exodus over the past few decades. After all, Liberland has a truly unique selling point - it can bring something to the region that Croatia cannot. Croatia obstinately ignores this huge opportunity at its own peril. Influence-buying is not unknown in the international arena. The People’s Republic of China has a much larger and systematic programme to persuade countries to de-recognize or otherwise not engage with the Republic of China (Taiwan).  Serbia also strives to persuade other countries to not recognize Kosovo or to revoke their recognition of it, mainly through diplomacy, debt forgiveness, and technical and humanitarian assistance. Serbia does have a claim to Kosovo being an integral part of its history, however, and recognition of Kosovo could be seen as a violation of its territorial integrity - things that Croatia cannot claim with regard to Liberland. We are unaware to what degree Croatia has maintained their pay-off plan of potential Liberland allies. In any case, the end result was sending its own taxpayer dollars overseas in a desperate bid to keep the eager Liberlanders down at all costs. We imagine that such a plan could become quite costly as Liberland opens dialogue with other U.N. member countries. US Cutting Off Croatia? After Donald Trump took office, the Elon Musk-led and Ron Paul-inspired DOGE team revealed that taxpayer money was freely flowing to questionable projects and recipients through USAID. Trump signed an Executive Order suspending its operations and ordering the agency’s employees to come home. Activist courts tried to intervene, but the agency is in its final days, with certain functions being folded into the Department of State and others being completely cancelled.  In addition to military aid, a significant amount of United States taxpayer aid to Croatia has come through USAID. Does this mean US aid to Croatia is drying up? Maybe it should. Croatia often detains and expels US, UK and other non-EU citizens of Croatia-allied countries who simply want to visit Liberland.  EU Funding of Croatia EU citizens also suffer the excesses and indignities of Croatia’s Ministry of the Interior’s actions against persons and property, in spite of billions of euros being provided to Croatia by the EU over the last ten years (Croatia receives about 4½ times what it contributes). Why should our supporters in these countries pay for their own mistreatment?  The actions of their border authorities have often run afoul of human rights concerns (See here, here, here and here). Although there are some nominal mechanisms for reporting irregularities, Croatian law enforcement and other state agencies have a disturbing lack of oversight.  The shady dealings of the forestry agency, Hrvatske Šume - which notoriously raided the Liberland settlement and stole over a hundred thousand euros worth of our property - have raised eyebrows nationally, resulting in the entire board being dismissed. Šume has even drawn attention at the EU level for allegations of unfair practices and corruption. Hrvatske Šume is a 100% state-owned company, and since 1990 it exclusively manages and exploits all publicly owned forests in Croatia – and some outside of Croatia, namely Liberland. Šume has even crossed the border into Bosnia to harvest their resources.  An EU member state needs to live up to its obligations to respect the Charter of Fundamental Rights and other directives that safeguard the rights of EU citizens. Given the Croatia government's violation of fundamental rights, we should investigate more closely how European taxpayers’ funds are being used in Croatia.  What they do is not what anyone would finance voluntarily.

Liberland has just concluded its latest congressional elections, ushering in a new cohort of legislators who will guide the governance of the world’s first libertarian microstate. In a political landscape that values decentralization, voluntary governance, and radical innovation, the new Congress reflects an extraordinary confluence of minds from across the globe—entrepreneurs, jurists, technologists, humanitarians—each bringing unique tools to further the Liberland project. These are not career politicians, nor bureaucrats shaped by statism. They are pioneers in their respective fields, chosen not to command, but to serve the principle that government must be consensual, minimal, and aligned with individual sovereignty. Tariq Javaid Abbasi A distinguished figure in both the business and diplomatic worlds, Abbasi has served as Chair of Westar Capital Group and as Deputy Lieutenant of Greater London. His humanitarian efforts span continents, with a focus on interfaith dialogue, philanthropy, and conflict resolution. His entry into Liberland’s Congress signals a push for enhanced international outreach and soft power diplomacy rooted in voluntarism and peaceful exchange. Evan Luthra One of the most prominent tech entrepreneurs of his generation, Luthra is a double Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree and was named Crypto Entrepreneur of the Year in 2024. With deep involvement in AI, Web3, and venture capital, his presence introduces a decisive orientation toward emerging technologies and digital sovereignty. For Liberland, his influence could mark a turning point in making the microstate a nucleus for global crypto-capital and decentralized infrastructure. Michal Ptáčník Trained in law and jurisprudence, Ptáčník’s intellectual background in international legal theory and alternative governance systems places him in a strategic position to re-imagine statehood. His work aligns directly with Liberland’s foundational premise: that law should emerge from reason and contract, not coercion. Expect a focus on legal innovation, digital identity, and the redefinition of sovereignty. Navid Saberin A cosmopolitan thinker fluent in commerce, sinology, and computer science, Saberin brings intellectual depth and technical sophistication. His libertarian commitments are grounded in Bitcoin philosophy and free market ethics. With broad interdisciplinary experience and a polyglot’s cultural agility, he represents the type of borderless citizen that Liberland aims to attract and empower. Justin Sun Best known as the founder of TRON and for acquiring BitTorrent, Sun is a towering figure in the blockchain world. Educated at Peking University and the University of Pennsylvania, and with prior experience at Ripple Labs, Sun’s legislative role in Liberland is a major development. His participation signals that Liberland is not merely symbolic: it is becoming a serious node in the international crypto network, blending governance with protocol. Dorian Štern Vukotić The first individual to settle physically on Liberland’s territory, Vukotić is both symbol and architect of its digital foundations. As tech lead for the Liberland blockchain team, he has played a pivotal role in building the technological stack that undergirds Liberland’s governance model. His transhumanist interests, including cryonics and radical life extension, make him an emblem of the Promethean spirit that animates the Liberland experiment. Karnika E. Yashwant (KEY) With over 11 years of experience in blockchain, KEY is a rare hybrid of marketer, builder, and philosopher. He has led global campaigns that have altered public narratives and driven technological adoption. A committed libertarian, his strategic thinking and communication prowess are assets not just for Liberland’s brand, but for the broader libertarian movement. He brings the conviction that freedom must be marketed with the same precision as any other revolutionary product. A Congress Without Precedent What sets this Congress apart is not merely the calibre of its members, but the ontological break it represents with traditional statehood. In most countries, elections reproduce power structures; in Liberland, they are a conscious re-imagining of them. The new Congress embodies a shift from coercive hierarchy to voluntary association, from territorial monopoly to permissionless experimentation. Each member is a node in a decentralized network of governance, chosen not by partisanship or ideology, but by their capacity to contribute to a radically new form of statecraft—one that seeks to answer the 21st century’s political question: Can liberty govern itself? With this new Congress, Liberland doesn’t merely survive. It advances. Boldly, creatively, and uncompromisingly.

Liberland made a strong impression at the Wiki Finance Expo in Hong Kong, where President Vít Jedlička took the stage to present Liberland’s vision and his approach to governance and finance. In his speech, President Jedlička emphasized several key milestones and visionary ideas that define Liberland’s unique path forward:   ✅ Liberland’s remarkable progress over the past decade, evolving from a bold idea into a functioning, self-governing microstate powered by blockchain technology and voluntary governance principles.   ✅ The critical role of decentralized finance (DeFi) in breaking down barriers to economic participation, and how Liberland is actively shaping a new economic paradigm—transparent, permissionless, and borderless.   ✅ The transformative power of blockchain and digital identity in redefining governance, enabling individuals to interact with institutions in a secure, efficient, and sovereign manner, laying the foundation for a truly free digital society.   The event brought together leading experts, investors, developers, and thought leaders in the realms of finance, blockchain, and governance. Discussions ranged from the legal recognition of Liberland, its strategic position in the world of digital nations, to the immense potential for innovation and investment within its open ecosystem.   📺 Watch the full speech here:    As momentum builds, Liberland continues to defy conventional boundaries—proving that the future of governance is decentralized, digitally native, and rooted in individual liberty. 🚀

When Frank-Jürgen Richter, Chairman of Horasis and one of the world’s leading voices in global strategy, lends his support, the world pays attention. His recent endorsement of Vít Jedlička, President of Liberland, marks more than a professional nod — it’s a signal that the vision behind the world’s most ambitious micronation is gaining serious traction among global elites. As announced on LinkedIn, Vít Jedlička will be a featured speaker at the Horasis Global Meeting 2025, taking place October 7–10 in São Paulo. His inclusion is far from symbolic: it represents the entrance of Liberland into the core conversation on global innovation, governance, and entrepreneurship. Richter praised Jedlička’s pioneering work, highlighting Liberland as a “movement” rather than a mere experiment — a borderless concept rooted in liberty, technological optimism, and radically decentralized governance. In a world where institutional sluggishness hampers innovation, Liberland presents a live prototype of a new political and economic paradigm. Richter’s recognition of Jedlička is therefore both timely and strategic: Horasis has long positioned itself as a crucible for new ideas, and few are as disruptive as Liberland’s. Jedlička’s Vision: Technology as Sovereignty Since founding Liberland in 2015, Jedlička has not merely advocated for a freer society — he has tried to build one from scratch. A Czech economist and libertarian, his guiding principle is deceptively simple: minimize coercion, maximize voluntary cooperation. That means optional taxes, minimal bureaucracy, and a foundational commitment to blockchain-based governance. With over 700,000 citizenship applications and a growing community of digital natives, Liberland is no longer a hypothetical. It’s a functioning crypto-polity. Jedlička often describes his mission as creating the Silicon Valley of sovereignty, a space where entrepreneurship and political autonomy converge. Under his leadership, Liberland has attracted interest from AI developers, Web3 architects, and decentralized finance pioneers. It is, as he says, “proof that when you remove unnecessary constraints, human creativity and collaboration can build the future faster.” Richter’s Endorsement: A Legitimizing Moment Frank-Jürgen Richter’s support is not just symbolic — it confers a degree of legitimacy rarely afforded to microstates. As Chairman of Horasis, he curates one of the most influential platforms for international cooperation between business and government leaders. By showcasing Jedlička and Liberland at Horasis, Richter is aligning himself with a vision of sovereignty, one that prioritizes agility, innovation, and individual agency over territorial legacy. This is not a fringe development. It’s part of a broader trend in which “network states,” “free cities,” and decentralized governance experiments are beginning to enter mainstream policy discussions. Richter’s platform lends credibility to these ideas at a moment when traditional nation-states are increasingly paralyzed by institutional gridlock. Why It Matters? The timing couldn’t be more relevant. From regulatory sclerosis to trust erosion in democratic institutions, the modern state is struggling to meet the demands of a networked, post-industrial world. Liberland doesn’t pretend to have all the answers, but it dares to ask different questions: What if sovereignty were opt-in? What if laws were written in code? What if citizenship were decentralized and borderless? These aren’t science fiction fantasies — they’re real design choices being implemented in real time. By inviting Vít Jedlička to speak at Horasis, Richter is placing these

Liberland is pleased to announce the expansion of Liberland Dollar (LLD) to the TRON blockchain via BTTC, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of Liberland’s digital economy. The Free Republic of Liberland is pleased to announce the expansion of Liberland Dollar (LLD) to the TRON blockchain via the BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) Bridge, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of Liberland’s digital economy. This development enhances LLD’s accessibility, interoperability, and usability, allowing seamless movement between Ethereum and TRON while opening up new opportunities for adoption. A Major Step for Liberland’s Blockchain Strategy This expansion aligns with Liberland’s vision of leveraging cutting-edge blockchain technology to create a borderless and efficient digital economy. LLD will now benefit from TRON’s high-speed, low-cost transactions, further integrating Liberland into the broader decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. President Vít Jedlička emphasized the strategic importance of this move, stating: “The integration of LLD onto TRON via BTTC Bridge represents a crucial advancement for Liberland. By expanding onto a blockchain known for its speed, scalability, and low transaction costs, we are ensuring that LLD remains a practical and widely usable digital currency. This step strengthens our financial infrastructure and aligns with our long-term goal of a truly decentralized and efficient economy.” How the BTTC Bridge Works The BTTC Bridge provides a secure and decentralized method for transferring assets between Ethereum and TRON. When bridging LLD, the system locks the original tokens on Ethereum and mints an equivalent amount on TRON, ensuring that the total supply remains balanced across both networks. Validators oversee this process, ensuring a trustless and transparent mechanism for cross-chain transfers. Once you have bridged your tokens to TRON, you can swap them with other TRON ecosystem tokens at Sun.io. Key Benefits of LLD on TRON With this integration, LLD holders will experience several new advantages: Fast & Cost-Efficient Transactions – TRON’s high throughput allows near-instant transactions with lower fees compared to Ethereum. Enhanced DeFi Integration – TRON offers an extensive DeFi ecosystem, including lending, staking, and trading opportunities for LLD holders. Increased Liquidity & Adoption – TRON’s large user base and developer network provide more avenues for LLD to be integrated into real-world applications. Cross-Chain Interoperability – By supporting Ethereum and TRON, LLD becomes more flexible, ensuring broader accessibility across blockchain networks, while maintaining core operations on Liberland Blockchain. Strengthening Liberland’s Digital Economy – This expansion further establishes LLD as a functional and widely accepted digital asset within Liberland’s financial ecosystem. Strengthening the Liberland Digital Economy With LLD now bridging Ethereum and TRON, in addition to access on Solana, the Liberland government continues to solidify its commitment to blockchain technology as a key pillar of governance and economic infrastructure. This move enhances Liberland’s ability to facilitate seamless, decentralized transactions and connect with global crypto markets. How to Bridge LLD to TRON LLD holders can use the BTTC Bridge to transfer LLD between Ethereum and TRON. The process locks LLD on Ethereum and mints an equivalent amount on TRON, ensuring that the total supply remains balanced across both networks. The bridge is powered by secure smart contracts and a validator network, providing seamless and trustless transfers. There are step-by-step guides on how to do this in Liberland’s documentation. Once on TRON, LLD can be swapped with other TRON ecosystem tokens at Sun.io. You can also bring your LLD back to Liberland blockchain through BTTC and HASHI Bridge, and begin participating in activities like staking LLD, company registration, and more. Join the Future of Decentralized Finance with LLD on TRON! The Liberland government and blockchain team will continue working on expanding LLD’s reach to additional networks, ensuring that Liberland’s digital economy remains at the forefront of blockchain innovation.

Joining before the 10th Anniversary Ends? Benefit from a Special Offer Are you worried about war in Europe? Do you feel like the U.S. is either not doing enough to stop it—or maybe doing too much? If you’ve been thinking about this, you’ve probably heard people talking about corruption and power struggles. They talk a lot. They complain a lot. But at the end of the day, you’re still here, focused on your life and taking care of your family. But have you ever thought about what you would do if things really got worse? Or better yet—how to stop things from getting worse in the first place? Most people say, “There’s nothing we can do.” And most of the time, they’re right. But not always. In Liberland, we chose action over complaints. We’re building something better. Liberland: A Country for a Peaceful and Prosperous 21st Century. We are creating the first nation that won’t demand taxes from you—and that makes all the difference. Small government, maximum personal freedom, and zero nonsense. Yes, right now, Liberland is still a largely uninhabited piece of pristine nature, even though we also have some of the most beautiful sandy beaches on Danube. It will stay that way until men and women with the courage to dream of something better come together to build it. It won’t be easy. We face obstacles at every turn—false accusations, roadblocks, and resistance. But what great thing was ever achieved without struggle? We know this is a big ask. So, for this spring only, we’re offering something extraordinary: ✅ Fulfill the basic requirements to join the settlement effort (link will follow). ✅ Stay with us for seven days - there are other freedom-loving people there as we speak, you will certainly not be alone. ✅ Be a productive team player and contribute reasonably to the effort. And at the end of your seventh day, you will receive a Liberland passport and citizenship. Requirements Liberland eResidency Clean criminal record No alcoholism or drug addiction Valid Schengen visa (Preference for EU citizens)  Our special offer ends on April 13th (e.g. begin your settlement before that date). If you start later, you will have to spend more time in Liberland for the passport. Does this speak to you? Are you ready to stop waiting and start doing? Please apply via the Liberland Services app or contact us at [email protected] and connect with our settlement coordinators today. Liberland is calling. Will you answer?

Stay Safe, Stay Smart The Liberland Blockchain is growing rapidly, and more people are joining every day. To interact with it, you need a wallet to store your Liberland Dollars (LLD) securely. Just like with any blockchain, the golden rule applies: Not your keys, not your coins. If you don’t control your private keys, you don’t truly own your LLD. At this time, we don’t have an official Liberland wallet, but we provide a Liberland frontend for accessing the blockchain. You can choose from several supported wallet applications to keep your funds secure. Protecting Your Wallet: The Most Important Step 🔴 BACK UP YOUR KEYS! When creating a wallet, do not just leave it as it is. Write down your secret phrase (seed phrase) on paper and store it somewhere safe. Use a secure password manager like BitWarden for extra safety. If possible, do both. And most importantly—REMEMBER IT. If you lose your keys, you lose all your funds, and no one can help you. If we had a dollar for every time someone told us, “My laptop broke, and I lost my wallet,” we’d be stacking towards 1 BTC by now. This is completely avoidable—just back up your keys properly. Wallets We Support At the moment, Cold Wallets like Ledger are NOT supported. Do not attempt to use them, or you will lose your funds. We are working on Ledger support, but it is not ready yet. For now, you can choose from the following hot wallets (wallets that store keys online but still keep them encrypted). For Desktop (Google Chrome Only!) Google Chrome is the only browser that works properly with the Liberland frontend. Do not use Brave, Firefox, or Chromium. Talisman – A browser extension for Google Chrome. This is the easiest and safest way to interact with our blockchain. If you’re new to blockchains, use this. PolkaJS – Works like Talisman but with fewer features. If you want a great product, just use Talisman. For Mobile (iOS & Android) • Subwallet – A full-featured mobile wallet that also works as a browser extension. You can use it to connect directly to blockchain.liberland.org through its in-app browser. Using ETH, SOL, and TRX Wallets with LLD Although Liberland runs on Substrate, you may want to use Ethereum, Solana, or Tron wallets for trading LLD on exchanges or bridging to other chains. Here’s what you need: Ethereum (ETH) Wallets Since Liberland is working on integrating the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), you may want to prepare by using an ETH-compatible wallet. Most importantly, you will need one to trade LLD on Uniswap or bridge to Solana and Tron. Recommended: Metamask, Uniswap Wallet Other options: Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet You can use the same private key for your Liberland, ETH, SOL, and TRX wallets, but it is not the safest practice. Solana (SOL) Wallets The best and most widely used Solana wallet is Phantom. It is sleek, powerful, and does everything you need. Tron (TRX) Wallets You can store LLD on Exodus Wallet, Trust Wallet, or others, but these won’t let you use Tron’s special features like collateralized loans. For that, you need a more specialized wallet like Tron Link—but be careful, as this is not beginner-friendly. Where to Trade LLD? Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) If you prefer using centralized exchanges, make sure you send only native LLD tokens—do NOT try to deposit LLD on ETH or SOL. If you do, you are on your own. Here are the current supported exchanges: • MEXC – A top exchange, currently ranked #7 worldwide. Safe, reliable, and with a good reputation. KYC required. • BitMart – A newer exchange for LLD. Friendly staff, self-reported proof of reserves. KYC required. • Biconomy – A smaller exchange that accepts the Liberland Passport for KYC, making it a great choice for Liberlanders. Some smaller exchanges like Coinstore and Emirex also trade LLD, but they require KYC and do not accept Liberland passports. Trading on Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) do not trade native LLD—only wrapped tokens. The only exception is LiberDex. Uniswap – The biggest DEX, where you can trade LLD for USDT, ETH, and other ERC20 tokens. Raydium – A more speculative Solana-based DEX. High-risk, high-reward trading. Many LLD holders use this as their main exchange. LiberDex – The only place where you can buy and sell native LLD and Liberland Merits on the blockchain. Right now, it is simple, but it will evolve into something much bigger. Bridging LLD to Other Blockchains Liberland is building cross-chain compatibility, allowing users to move their tokens between different blockchains. This process is called bridging. Bridging LLD to ETH: Use the SORA Bridge To move LLD from Liberland to Ethereum, use the HASHI Bridge. You will need: A Substrate wallet (like Talisman or Subwallet) An Ethereum wallet (like Metamask) Some ETH for gas fees (minimum $50 recommended) Once bridged, you can trade LLD on Uniswap or bridge further to Solana or Tron. Bridging ETH to SOL: Use deBridge To move LLD from Ethereum to Solana, use deBridge, a cross-chain liquidity transfer protocol. This allows you to swap wrapped LLD between blockchains. 🚨 Important: Use the deBridge “bridge” app (“dePort”)  not the “swap” function. Those are two apps of the same provider and look very similar. The swap can offer you a worse deal than bridging, resulting in needless loss of funds. 🚨 Warning: For both bridges apply: If you don’t follow the instructions on our official wiki correctly, you may lose your funds. Read the full guidelines before attempting any bridging. Earn Passive Income with the Liberland Blockchain Liberland isn’t just the world’s freest country—it’s also an opportunity to secure your financial future. Even if you’re not living in Liberland yet, you can start earning passive income today through the Liberland Blockchain. Staking is the process of locking up your LLD tokens to support the blockchain. In return, you earn passive income as a reward. You can stake in two ways: 1. On the Liberland Blockchain itself. 2. Using LLD that has been bridged to Ethereum (ETH) or Solana (SOL). Everything is managed through our staking portal: 🔗 Liberland Staking Portal We will soon release a detailed article on staking, but in the meantime, you can explore our full documentation here: 🔗 Liberland Blockchain Docs Final Thoughts The Liberland Blockchain is growing, and with it, new opportunities arise. If you take one thing from this article, let it be this: BACK UP YOUR KEYS. By using the right wallets, following the correct procedures, and staying informed, you can securely manage your LLD, trade on exchanges, and explore new possibilities in the blockchain space. For full instructions, check out our ecosystem guide. 🚀

How to Earn Passive Income with the Liberland Blockchain Liberland is more than just the world’s freest country—it’s also a place where you can secure your financial future. Even if you’re not living there yet, you can start earning passive income today through the Liberland Blockchain. This isn’t about token speculation—although that has made some people happy. We’re talking about staking, a method that rewards those who commit to securing our blockchain. Staking: Earn Rewards by Supporting the Liberland Blockchain Liberland uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) system to keep the blockchain decentralized and secure. This means that instead of energy-intensive mining, the blockchain is secured by Validators—people who run full copies of the blockchain. The more copies exist, the more secure the system becomes. How You Can Earn Even if you don’t want to be a Validator, you can still earn rewards as a Nominator. 1. Go to www.blockchain.liberland.org. 2. Stake your LLD by selecting a Validator to support. 3. Earn rewards proportional to your stake, as long as your Validator is active. 🔴 Important: If a Validator misbehaves, both they and their Nominators can be penalized. However, no Validator has ever been penalized to date. How Much Can You Earn? A Validator earns about 6 LLD per day. At current prices (~$4.20 per LLD), that’s around $700 per month—more than the minimum wage in Serbia. And it’s almost completely passive income! If you prefer to diversify or staking isn’t for you, there’s another option: Liquidity Pool (LP) Staking. Liquidity Pool (LP) Staking: Earn from Decentralized Trading Since we have bridged LLD to Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), we need liquidity pools (LPs) to ensure smooth trading. This is how decentralized exchanges work—users provide liquidity to enable trading and earn a share of transaction fees. How It Works • You deposit LLD along with another currency (ETH, SOL, or USDT) into a liquidity pool. • Traders use this liquidity, and you earn a share of their transaction fees. • Your profit comes from high trading volume and stable price ratios. What’s the Risk? Liquidity pools always involve two currencies. If their prices change dramatically, the algorithm may sell the more valuable currency for the less valuable one. If you withdraw during a bad price shift, you could lose money. However, we only use stable and reputable coins like ETH, SOL, and USDT to minimize risk. Since USDT is a stablecoin, its value should always remain steady. How Much Can You Earn? LP staking rewards vary depending on trading activity. Some days, the profits can be extraordinary. For example: 📅 Monday two weeks ago, on a day of high trading, a $10,000 stake in LLD made a $8,000 profit in a single day! Can your bank do that? If so, please send us their website. ✅ No risk of slashing (penalties), but there is price fluctuation risk due to the two-currency system. Future Potential: Providing Liquidity on LiberDex You can also provide liquidity on our own exchange, LiberDex. Right now, activity is low, but that could change. Some of our earliest Validators staked LLD when its price was $0—they had to wait, but they were richly rewarded later. We can’t predict the future price of LLD, but we are committed to making Liberland’s currency thrive. The more people stake and trade, the stronger the ecosystem becomes. So, the question is—are you in? 🚀

Originating from a border dispute, its 7 km² territory is now the third smallest sovereign state after the Vatican and Monaco. Liberland's motto, "To live and let live," reflects its commitment to personal and economic freedom. The Constitution ensures limited governmental interference in its citizens' lives.

One of Croatia’s biggest legal tricks in the ongoing Liberland saga—currently with around 75 cases in Croatian courts and counting—revolves around an exchange of diplomatic notas between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Croatia and Serbia. Let us learn about them in this article. Just before Liberland officially opened on August 6, 2023, Croatia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs exchanged letters with Serbia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The result? Diplomatic notas in which Croatia asked Serbia if they were okay with Croatian authorities carrying out certain border control activities in the Liberland area. Serbia, seeing a chance to make a point, responded with congratulations—finally, Croatia was taking responsibility for the area! And of course, Serbia had no objections. This makes sense, as Serbia considers the land to be Croatian or in any case not Serbian. For reference, one might recall a statement from 24th April 2015 about the formation of Liberland in Gornja Siga, where the same Serbian ministry stated “... the position of the Republic of Serbia regarding the state border is that it runs along the middle of the Danube waterway, in accordance with the legal demarcation from 1945, and that the “new state” was not formed on the territory of the Republic of Serbia.” Here’s the catch: Croatia does not see it that way. Croatia believes that Liberland is Serbia, which is also a fundamental piece of context for its request formulated in its diplomatic nota: you, Serbia, the sovereign over the land, please give us the right to police the land since you seem not to.  Pretzels, Boots and Disagreements This type of “nuance” is relevant in law. If one assumes, for good reasons (e.g. vague text, being mislead by advertisement), that he is entering a contract about buying pretzels but the other side in fact sends a pair of old boots, then this was technically not a valid contract (e.g. for the boots) even if the buyer (ex post) likes having received said boots and the seller does not react. It could, in fact, have been a valid contract for pretzels and the seller is now in default. Let us see how the higher courts tackle this matter. The Croatians subsequently assumed, without any good cause, that there was at least an unspoken understanding between the two parties that Croatia would be handling border checks, and so, Croatia decided to act. Of course, border control means just that—monitoring the border, not overseeing the disappearance of bicycles, washing machines, Starlink terminals, and fully furnished houseboats… and definitely not managing anything related to Hrvatske Šume d.o.o. Therefore, Croatia almost immediately breached the scope of the mandate given by Serbia even if we ignored the fact that there likely was no deal made and therefore no mandate, due to the complete disagreement between the parties on the fundamental facts of the case.  But, again, let the higher court tackle this admittedly complex matter, as international law is markedly more complicated in deciding what exactly is law than a question of buying pretzels or boots would be. A New Life in Court These notas have now found a second life in court, where Croatian institutions argue that Liberland is not terra nullius (land belonging to no one). Instead, they claim that the land is being held for a future legal resolution between Croatia and Serbia. Their argument? Whoever owns the land, it’s definitely not a third party. A key piece of evidence they use? The notas. They argue that these documents show that both Croatia and Serbia agree on this legal interpretation. We won’t even get into the absurdity of this claim, considering both countries originally rejected the land after the breakup of Yugoslavia. That alone makes their argument nonsensical. The Real Problem The real issue is how Croatian courts have interpreted the notas. They’ve suggested that these notes establish full Croatian Border Police jurisdiction over the area—not just for border control, but for all state authorities. Even worse, they claim this jurisdiction applies to third parties, including Liberland citizens. But for any state rule to apply to everyone, it needs to have legal backing—either through national law or international law. Since we’re dealing with an international matter, such authority would normally come from a formal treaty. And here’s the problem: the notas are not treaties. Croatian courts have even admitted this in several rulings. Yet, despite acknowledging this, they still act as if the notas have legal force outside of Croatia’s own internal bureaucracy. This is a contradiction—if the notas are not treaties, they shouldn’t be used as legal justification for police action in Gornja Siga.  The notas can at best work as if they were internal directives for the Border Police, but no local police chief can obligate a citizen by such directives, they are not effective against third parties. You need laws for that, or at least sub-legal norms based on laws. But instead of following this logic, Croatian courts simply say that diplomatic notes are “a well-established form of government communication” (which is true) and then proceed to treat them as if they were treaties (which is not). This is like saying, “A country can issue laws, therefore, anything the Prime Minister says must be enforced as law.” That’s not how legal systems work—at least, not in democratic ones. Croatia’s Choice Croatia now faces a decision. Does it want to return to the legal habits of its past, or does it want to act as a true member of the Western world and the European Union? When it comes to our legal cases, there’s no middle ground. It’s one or the other.

This is the Liberland response to the article of Marinko Jurasić published in Večernji list on 3 February. We would like to thank Marinko Jurasić for the article published in Večernji list on 3 February. We firmly believe that Croatia has the right and duty to protect its borders, and we support its efforts in preventing illegal migration. However, the Croatian government's current approach to the Liberland question is both self-defeating and contrary to legal principles, particularly in relation to the ongoing border dispute with Serbia and from an economic perspective. You can read about the case in question in the following series of our articles: Hringur's Finger II Hringur's Finger I Legal Status of Gornja Siga The presence of the Liberland community in no way interferes with Croatia's version of the larger border dispute with Serbia. In fact, it supports it. Croatia, wisely, does not officially claim this land. It does not lie within the borders of Croatia on any Croatian map, nor was it claimed by Croatia after eastern Slavonia was reintegrated following the UNTAES administration. According to Article 8 of the Croatian Constitution, any alteration of the national borders requires a decision of the Croatian Parliament. To date, no such decision has been made regarding the inclusion of Gornja Siga within Croatia’s territorial jurisdiction. The recent exchange of diplomatic notes between Croatia and Serbia in 2023 has been incorrectly interpreted as legally binding. These notes do not constitute an international treaty and cannot justify the ongoing violations of private individuals' rights.  Croatia's Self-Defeating Approach Furthermore, an accurate reading of Serbia's response in these exchanges indicates a strategic aim to establish the Danube as the definitive border. This would result in Croatia losing its claim over a significantly larger area on the left bank of the Danube—approximately ten times the size of Gornja Siga—to Serbian control.  In this context, Croatia's approach appears self-defeating, as it sacrifices a far more substantial land claim in exchange for asserting control over an uninhabited parcel where Liberlanders have peacefully settled. Legal proceedings against individuals associated with Liberland further highlight this contradiction. Croatian courts have convicted individuals for minor infractions on Gornja Siga, despite acknowledging that Croatia’s territorial jurisdiction over the area remains unresolved.  The courts have relied on an ambiguous claim of "bilateral control," which lacks any solid legal foundation, as diplomatic notes exchanged between ministries do not constitute formal agreements capable of altering territorial claims.  Additionally, inconsistencies in judicial reasoning—such as citing an undefined "privileged supervision" without specifying its legal scope—demonstrate the lack of a clear, principled approach to the region. There are still dozens of ongoing cases. Manifest Lack of Jurisdiction Moreover, Croatian authorities have failed to prove jurisdiction in multiple legal cases. Courts have admitted that the territorial status of Gornja Siga remains disputed while simultaneously punishing individuals for activities carried out there.  This selective application of law undermines the fundamental principle of legal certainty, as enshrined in Article 14 of the Croatian Constitution, which guarantees equality before the law.  The lack of clear jurisdiction also violates procedural fairness, as guaranteed by Article 29 of the Constitution and Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which require that legal proceedings be conducted by a competent and impartial tribunal. Finally, even the Croatian authorities do not provide a uniform conclusion related to the specific area and with regards to territorial jurisdiction of the Republic of Croatia over the happenings in Gornja Siga.  Namely, in the proceedings in front of the County State Attorney’s office Osijek number ND-92/2024, County Court in Osijek number R2-21/2024, Administrative Court in Osijek number UsI-1301/2023 and UsI-125/2024, Croatian authorities have elaborated a completely different standpoint than the one presented by judge Bertok mentioned in your article, and confirmed by High Misdemeanour Court of the Republic of Croatia, and this would be that the mentioned diplomatic notas do not constitute a bilateral international agreement and/or that there is no jurisdiction of Croatian state authorities to be engaged with regards to the happenings in Gornja Siga. This was the exact reason why T.H.G.'s case has been brought in front of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia and is still pending. Economic and Legal Opportunities for Croatia If Croatian authorities were to assist the Liberland community—or at the very least, cease harassment—it would be a significant win for Croatia. The immediate result would be an influx of investment, employment, and tourism, revitalizing an area that has suffered from depopulation and economic stagnation for decades. Recognizing Liberland does not have to be on the table for Croatia to benefit. A simple shift in policy, allowing for legal certainty and economic development in the region, would generate substantial growth. Once the rough treatment ends, Liberland's entrepreneurial community will bring prosperity not just to Gornja Siga but also to the surrounding Croatian municipalities. Infrastructure improvements, real estate investment, and tourism-based enterprises will all flourish if the Liberland community is permitted to operate freely. Additionally, Croatia’s actions in prosecuting individuals for activities in Gornja Siga set a dangerous precedent of selective law enforcement. The legal argument that Croatia has jurisdiction based on an informal understanding with Serbia lacks foundation, as jurisdiction must be established through proper legal instruments, such as treaties ratified by the Croatian Parliament. Without such a treaty, enforcement actions in Gornja Siga remain legally dubious and could expose Croatia to potential litigation before European human rights bodies. Conclusion The Croatian government’s current stance on Liberland is not only legally tenuous but also economically unwise. The evidence from legal proceedings underscores that Croatia’s jurisdiction over Gornja Siga is not established in law. Persisting in arbitrary enforcement actions contradicts Croatia’s own constitutional and international legal obligations. Moreover, Croatia stands to gain far more from allowing economic activity in the region than from asserting control over an area it has never formally claimed. Furthermore, continued legal harassment of individuals in Gornja Siga undermines Croatia’s credibility as a state governed by the rule of law. If Croatia truly wishes to protect its national interests, it should focus on securing its larger territorial claims rather than engaging in legally questionable enforcement actions against private individuals. Liberland can thrive and prosper—with substantial benefits for Croatia—without prejudicing the ultimate resolution of the border dispute with Serbia. A pragmatic approach, rooted in legal clarity and economic foresight, will yield far greater rewards than the current strategy of obstruction and legal overreach.

At Donald Trump’s inauguration, a symbolic meeting took place that has the libertarian world buzzing. Liberland’s Vice President Bogie Wozniak - as well as Liberland Finance Minister Navid Saberin - crossed paths with Argentina’s reformist President Javier Milei, sparking speculation about the growing influence of libertarian ideals on the global stage. Donald Trump’s campaign promises of decentralization and smaller government aimed to please libertarians, which set the tone for this gathering. Adding to the intrigue is Elon Musk, a staunch advocate of free markets and innovation, who is reshaping industries while championing the freedom to dream big. On Trump’s first day in office, he signed the Executive Order establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) spearheaded by Musk and also cheered by libertarians. Musk has suggested that former U.S. Congressman and Liberland citizen Ron Paul advise DOGE efforts. The photo of Wozniak and Milei, shared twice by the Argentine leader on X, symbolizes the convergence of leaders striving for a freer, more innovative world. Milei, who has spoken favorably about Liberland on multiple occasions, graciously accepted a Liberland flag pin from Wozniak. As Milei dismantles Argentina’s bloated state and Trump returns to the political stage, could this be a sign of a libertarian renaissance? One thing’s certain—these four figures are shaping a narrative where freedom, innovation, and bold leadership take center stage.

Liberland Flag Soars to New Heights in World’s Longest Kayaking Race Viedma, Argentina – Liberland made history this week as Krisztina Bedocs and Angel Beovide triumphed in the 2025 Regata del Río Negro, winning the K2 Mix category in an inspiring debut for the young nation. The duo dominated the world’s longest kayaking race, securing first place in all seven stages over seven days, paddling distances of up to 60 kilometers daily from Neuquén to Viedma, Argentina. Krisztina Bedocs, representing Liberland, partnered with Argentine paddler Angel Beovide in a collaboration that proved unbeatable. Their exceptional teamwork and determination not only secured victory but also marked the first-ever appearance of the Liberland flag in this prestigious competition. “This win is for Liberland and the shared values of perseverance and liberty that we carry with us,” said Krisztina after the final stage. “Angel and I paddled not just for ourselves but for everyone who believes in the power of uniting people through sport. We hope this achievement inspires others to push their limits and dream big.” Angel, a seasoned participant in the Regata del Río Negro, reflected on their accomplishment: “Winning all seven stages was a dream come true. Liberland’s support was vital, and I’m thrilled to have been part of such a meaningful victory.” The Regata del Río Negro, a grueling test of endurance and skill, has long been a pinnacle of international kayaking. The remarkable achievement by Krisztina and Angel has spotlighted Liberland on the global sporting map, symbolizing resilience, collaboration, and the unifying spirit of competition.

These meetings are currently closed to the public to ensure efficiency, as the Congress is still in the process of building a solid foundation. The goal is to become a well-functioning, constructive body that serves the interests of Liberland and its citizens. Key Positions in the Congress The Liberland Congress has three distinct roles that stand out: Prime Minister Prime Member Speaker These roles operate independently of one another, each playing a crucial part in the Congress’s functionality. The Prime Minister The Prime Minister is the most important figure in the Congress and, theoretically, the entire country. According to Liberland’s draft Constitution, the Prime Minister leads the government. Although the exact structure is still being developed, the Prime Minister’s role in Congress is largely informal. They represent the Cabinet, propose legislation for Congress to review, and guide referendums. Currently, this vital position is held by Justin Sun. The Prime Member The Prime Member is another significant role, automatically assigned to the Member of Congress with the highest Liberland Merit (LLM) vote during elections. The Prime Member’s unique power lies in influencing the outcomes of official votes. If a member remains silent during a vote, it is automatically counted as agreeing with the Prime Member’s position. While this power is dormant when Congress members are active and vocal, it becomes influential in a less engaged Congress. The current Prime Member is also Justin Sun. The Speaker The Speaker’s role is all about organization. This person is responsible for preparing the Congress’s agenda, sessions, and meeting programs. Unlike the Prime Minister or Prime Member, the Speaker is informally chosen by the Members of Congress. At present, this role is held by Michal Ptáčník. How Can You Participate?

As you embark on this new term, please accept my sincere hope that our partnership will continue to thrive, bringing mutual benefit to both Croatia and Liberland.

Trump’s Historic Comeback and Liberland’s Rising Influence Two weeks ago, the world witnessed a historic moment as Donald Trump became the 47th President of the United States. In doing so, he joined the exclusive ranks of leaders who have served non-consecutive terms—a feat previously achieved only by Grover Cleveland, who was first elected in 1884. This remarkable political comeback is already reshaping global conversations, and for Liberland, there are unique reasons to celebrate. Bitcoin Gets a Boost While we steer clear of commenting on the politics of other nations, we cannot ignore the potential impact of President Trump’s more Bitcoin-friendly policies. Liberland, as the first country to officially adopt Bitcoin (BTC) as its currency, welcomes this positive shift. The election of a leader open to cryptocurrency innovation is a win not only for Bitcoin enthusiasts but also for countries like ours, which champion decentralized financial systems. The DOGE Initiative: Streamlining Governance One of the most intriguing aspects of Trump’s return to power is his announcement of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This advisory body, led by tech visionary Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to revolutionize how the U.S. government operates. DOGE is tasked with reducing wasteful spending, eliminating outdated regulations, and restructuring federal agencies, with a goal of cutting $2 trillion in federal expenditures by 2026—timed to coincide with America’s 250th Independence Day. For Liberland, the birthplace of applied classical liberalism, this initiative is cause for optimism. Efforts to enhance efficiency and limit government overreach align closely with our principles of individual liberty and minimal governance. A Liberland Citizen in the Spotlight Adding to the excitement, Elon Musk invited former U.S. Congressman Dr. Ron Paul to join the DOGE initiative. As a lifelong advocate for individual freedom and a proud citizen of Liberland, Dr. Paul’s involvement marks a significant milestone. It’s not every day that a Liberlander is asked to influence one of the most powerful governments in the world. His presence on this team is a testament to the growing recognition of Liberland’s ideals on the global stage. Justin Sun and the WLFI Connection But there’s more good news! Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain and Liberland’s Prime Minister, has recently invested $30 million into Trump’s cryptocurrency initiative, World Liberty Financial (WLFI).  This decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, endorsed by Trump and his sons, aims to revolutionize the financial landscape by enabling users to participate in lending, borrowing, and other DeFi activities through its governance token. Following his investment, Sun was appointed as an advisor to WLFI, further solidifying Liberland’s influence in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors. His leadership and expertise position Liberland as a global player in shaping the future of digital finance. Two Reasons to Celebrate With both Dr. Ron Paul and Justin Sun playing roles in President Trump’s initiatives, Liberland has much to be proud of. Their contributions highlight the values we hold dear: freedom, innovation, and the pursuit of progress. As President Trump and his administration chart their course for the next four years, we hope they do so with wisdom and a commitment to principles that benefit not only their nation but also the world.

Faster Work Processes By automating simple tasks like scheduling meetings or writing drafts of official letters, AI allows Liberland’s diplomats to focus on important decisions Robots in Diplomacy President Jedlička also talked about how robots could be used in Liberland’s diplomacy: Virtual Ambassadors: AI-powered avatars could represent Liberland in meetings and discussions worldwide, even when a Liberland diplomat cannot be there in person. Robotic Embassies: Liberland plans to use robots to create “smart embassies” that can provide services and answer questions 24/7, making it easier for people to interact with the country. AI-Enhanced Courts In addition, Courts will greatly benefit from AI in the near future and focus was given to new models which attempt to use AI to remove bias from judicial decision-making. In addition, AI-powered courts are very fast and efficient, reducing costs and waiting time.

A group of Liberlanders have come together to launch a cubesat programme, aiming to kickstart a space programme that is not hindered by red tape, and open to all. 13 November 2024, Jefferson Square, Liberland; The Free Republic of Liberland has officially launched its ambitious space programme today, positioning the nation at the forefront of technological advancement and global collaboration. Initiated by Samuela Davidova, Liberland’s Spokesperson, and endorsed by President Vít Jedlička, this forward-thinking initiative is designed to break down bureaucratic barriers and promote decentralized space exploration. With Rod Mamin, the newly appointed Adviser to the Liberland President for the Space Programme and founder of LunCo, leading the way, the programme aims to encourage global partnerships and drive innovation in space, opening up new opportunities for progress and freedom. At the heart of this mission is the ambition to create an open-source, collaborative space programme that aligns with Liberland's core values of individual freedom, transparency, and minimal government interference. The programme is driven by the belief that space exploration should not be hindered by bureaucratic red tape but instead should be open to global participation, driving innovation and economic growth. “We view space exploration as a fundamental opportunity for shaping the future,” said Vít Jedlička, President of Liberland. “With this programme, Liberland is taking a bold step forward, showing how decentralization can break down traditional barriers and unlock unprecedented opportunities for innovation and collaboration. We’re creating an open platform where nations and private entities can come together, work freely, and drive progress without the constraints of bureaucracy.” The Liberland Space Programme and community will serve as a hub for visionary thinkers, engineers, and scientists from across the globe. In partnership with private industry and international stakeholders, the programme seeks to accelerate the development of decentralized, pro-freedom solutions in the space industry. Rod Mamin, Founder of LunCo and expert space systems engineer, has been appointed as the adviser for Liberland’s space programme by President Jedlička. With his extensive experience, Mamin shares Liberland's bold vision for space exploration. He stated, “Space exploration has the power to reshape economies and drive technological advancement. Liberland’s decentralized and collaborative approach is key to unlocking this potential, creating opportunities for innovation and progress that benefit globally.” Liberland’s space programme is a strategic move to reinforce the nation’s forward-looking leadership and boost its global standing. Through innovation and collaboration, Liberland is securing its place on the international space stage.  “By launching a decentralized, free-market space programme, Liberland is unlocking new opportunities for global collaboration, investment, and innovation,” said Samuela Davidova, Spokesperson for Liberland. “This initiative will drive progress across industries worldwide and pave the way for a future where space exploration is more accessible to all.” Liberland is now actively seeking volunteers and partners to support the mission and contribute to its vision. Those interested in joining the Liberland Space Working Group can contact the programme at [email protected] for further information.

Prague, 1 November 2024 — Liberland was nominated for the prestigious Free City Pioneer Award at the Liberty in Our Lifetime conference in Prague. This nomination celebrates our President's efforts to build up Liberland, a self-governing nation-state on the border of Croatia, which is based on economic freedom and individual responsibility. Liberland, led by Jedlička, has become a well-known example of what’s possible when people have the freedom to govern themselves. The vision is to build the world's freest country, sometimes referred to as the Singapore of Europe. Its political system adopts the best out of the Swiss democracy and corporate governance and executes it on its own blockchain system, allowing the full tokenization of the entire nation. The nomination recognizes Jedlička’s hard work and dedication to building this unique nation, as well as his great perseverance, whereby he steered the reins of his project for the past ten years. Liberland is by far the oldest comparable project and the unique attempt to establish a classically liberal sovereign state in our times. President Jedlička expressed gratitude and shared his hopes for Liberland’s future. “Liberland is growing as never before”, he said. “Liberland is real, and that is what is best about it - we do not talk about change; we built change.” The winner of this year's Free City Pioneer Award was Próspera, a free trade zone-type private city located in Roatán, Honduras. Liberland congratulates the team from Próspera for their well-deserved recognition. The award ceremony was a highlight of the conference’s opening day. Attendees are continuing to enjoy engaging talks and discussions through 3 and 4 November, with a focus on building strong, resilient communities and exploring new ways of governance.

Liberland Strengthens Middle Eastern Ties with Dubai Office Opening 30 October 2024, Dubai, UAE; Liberland has inaugurated its new office at KEY Difference Labs in Dubai, marking a significant milestone for the nation and its mission to promote freedom and decentralized governance. The launch event brought together blockchain enthusiasts, tech executives, and Liberland supporters, establishing the office as a local hub for Web3 and pro-freedom advocates. The event began with remarks from Gideon Greaves, Managing Director of KEY Difference, who welcomed a diverse audience, including Liberland passport holders and crypto advocates. Karnika E. Yashwant, CEO of KEY Difference and widely known as "Mr. KEY," delivered a keynote speech emphasizing the alignment between Liberland’s vision and Bitcoin’s ideals of freedom and autonomy, noting, "Bitcoin represents freedom and choice. Liberland embodies this by offering a practical path toward individual sovereignty." Following the keynote, Liberland’s Press Secretary, Samuela Davidova, introduced Liberland’s goals and outlined how supporters can join the movement. “Liberland invites people to get involved in building a free state from the ground up, based on voluntary principles and minimal government interference,” she explained. Petr Křovina, Liberland’s Chief of Staff, attended the event, answering questions about involvement in Liberland, citizenship, and vision for the future. Guests also included executives from Polytrade, DMCC, and Binance, underscoring Liberland’s reach within the Web3 space and beyond.

We ask that all Liberland diplomats, representatives, citizens and supporters send a letter of protest to the Croatian Embassy in their country. Earn Liberland merits (LLM) while making a difference for Liberland! Call to action: Write the Croatian Embassy in support of Liberland and earn Liberland merits (LLM) Since 6 August 2023 we have had access to the territory of Liberland and have maintained a presence on the land itself. Since that time, Liberland settlers have faced numerous challenges in establishing a robust settlement. The biggest challenge comes from the actions of Croatian Border Police under Croatia's Ministry of the Interior and Hrvatske Šume, the state-owned forest authority corporation under Croatia’s Ministry of Agriculture. While Croatia has the rightful authority to control its external border with Liberland, its treatment of visitors and settlers has been heavy-handed in an attempt to discourage the Liberland community. Hrvatske Šume, accompanied by the police, has destroyed structures built by the community and seized vehicles, bicycles, equipment, supplies, and personal belongings. Naturally, we’ve filed actions against Hrvatske Šume in Croatian courts; however the prosecutor and the court in Osijek-Baranja county declared that they have no legal competence in an area outside of Croatia’s jurisdiction. While we have won several petty cases brought against members of our community by police and inspectors precisely because of their lack of legal jurisdiction, the harassment still continues. Apparently the Croatian authorities can get away with what they are doing because it is not Croatia. In addition to the attacks on the settlements, Croatian Border Police and local police have been constantly harassing visitors to the area and treating them as if they are guilty of something. Non-EU and non-Schengen citizens get banned from Croatia simply for wanting to visit Liberland. Officers have also begun imposing overly strict technical inspections of vehicles driven by members of the Liberland community. This is clearly targeted and discriminatory harassment. Perhaps this is because they believe – quite incorrectly – that Liberland might undermine Croatia's position in the larger border dispute. Croatia has chosen to create a very hostile environment here for travellers and tourists, particularly for those visitors from outside the EU or Schengen Area. With your help, we can change that. In fact, the Liberland community can bring jobs and investment to an area of Croatia that has seen a mass exodus of people over the past few decades. After all, Liberland has a truly unique selling point—it can bring something to the region that Croatia cannot. This is tremendous opportunity and we hope our Croatian friends will realize this sooner or later - and we hope they will work together with us. It will help Liberland greatly if we all take action right now. Instructions We ask that all Liberland diplomats, representatives, citizens and supporters send a letter of protest to the Croatian Embassy in their country. In some cases, one Croatian Embassy serves several countries. You can find the address of your Croatian Embassy on this web page: https://mvep.gov.hr/embassies-and-consulates/embassies-of-the-republic-of-croatia-in-the-world/244601 Add the address of the Embassy and the name of the current Ambassador if known. Add your name and contact information and print it out and send it via post. While actual printed mail is more effective, you can also email them. Please notify and/or CC: foreign at liberland.org so you can get credited with Liberland merits (LLM). Let us know if you receive a response from the Croatian Embassy. You must be registered on liberland.org to receive the Merits. Currently we are awarding 50 Liberland merits (LLM 50) for the first letter and LLM 25 for each additional letter (up to a maximum of 10 letters) to other embassies, consulates and other diplomatic missions (Permanent Representative of Croatia to the U.N., Permanent Representative of Croatia to the E.U., the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, et cetera).  Use your own words (be firm but polite) or use one of these sample letters below. Sample letters in Spanish are also below. Thank you! Ministry of Foreign Affairs Free Republic of Liberland   Sample Letter 1: Embassy of the Republic of Croatia Your Excellency: I am writing to you to inquire about Croatia’s treatment of persons visiting and living in Gornja Siga, the territory located outside of Croatia on the right bank of the Danube River. There are news reports that Croatian police and employees of Hrvatske Šume d.o.o. (Croatian Forests) have demolished the homes and taken the property of the community in Gornja Siga, also known as Liberland. Croatian courts have stated that this area, Gornja Siga, lies outside of their jurisdiction and that they are unable to take action against this activity. The harsh treatment of these people makes Croatia seem like an unfriendly place for visitors. Many visitors to the area – especially non-EU or non-EEA citizens who enter Croatia legally – are being harassed, arrested or banned from Croatia and get a travel alert attached to their personal documents, thereby complicating their travel to other countries. The police also take the plates of visitors' cars and force the owners to undergo overly strict technical inspections. These people commit no crime other than wishing to visit the area. Scaring away tourists, mistreating people in Gornja Siga, taking their property, and depriving them of their right to travel does not lend a favourable image to Croatia from the outside. Regardless of the outcome of the larger border dispute, this is a community that deserves fair and just treatment. I urge you to find peaceful solutions to this matter. I hope that Croatia will take seriously its international obligations with regards to human rights as a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), as well as its obligations as a Member State of the European Union to uphold the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The Liberland community of Gornja Siga has considerable money to spend in the local economy in Osijek-Baranja County and this will only grow as more interested people come to visit. If you encourage rather than demoralize this community, it can become the biggest opportunity that Croatia has to bring investment, jobs and tourism to an economically stagnant region. With your cooperation, these opportunities can be developed together. Your Excellency, I would appreciate your point of view on this matter and that you intend to relay my concerns to your government in Zagreb. Thank you for your attention and consideration. Sincerely, [YOUR NAME] Sample Letter 2: Embassy of the Republic of Croatia Your Excellency: Since 6 August 2023, we have had access to our territory of Gornja Siga (also known as Liberland) and have since maintained a permanent presence there with settlers and visitors. Our settlers have successfully overcome many challenges. Despite adverse conditions such as the harsh winter, Danube flooding, mosquitoes, and the difficult transport of building materials and supplies, we have managed to establish the first buildings in the area of Liberland. The greatest difficulties we face involve reaching a lawful consensus with local authorities, particularly the border police and the organization "Hrvatske Šume" (the state forestry authority of the Ministry of Agriculture). Croatia has the legitimate authority to protect and control its external borders with Liberland. We respect and appreciate this, but we must unfortunately point out that punitive actions taken are often disproportionate and not always compliant with Schengen regulations. Our settlers and visitors, especially from non-Schengen/non-EU countries, are frequently harassed and even declared "persona non grata" within Croatian territory, despite holding valid Schengen visas. This treatment stems from the assumption that our foreign guests have criminal intentions by visiting Liberland. We view this as a blatant violation of EU/Schengen law, as they possess a proper visa or status. Liberlanders, visitors and foreign tourists from the EU are continuously harassed at official border crossings from Serbia to Croatia or when attempting to access the territory in Liberland. Vehicles are subjected to overly stringent technical inspections, and even minor deficiencies result in unreasonable penalties.  Another serious issue arises with the state forestry organization "Hrvatske Šume." Since September 2023, employees have unlawfully destroyed buildings erected by settlers in Gornja Siga and stolen building materials, electronic hardware, Starlink antennae, vehicles, bicycles, food, supplies and personal property. These criminal acts were assisted by local border police. This behaviour repeated itself during the construction of a medical clinic on our territory, supported by the international organization "Flame of Peace" under the family of Sandor and Margarete von Habsburg as the first permanent structure in Liberland. Heavy machinery destroyed the foundation. In total, materials worth over 100 000 euros were stolen under the oversight of the Croatian police. For these unlawful criminal attacks, there were neither written orders nor commands from the Croatian public prosecutor's office. It is suspected that the forestry authority uses Gornja Siga as a hunting ground for domestic and foreign hunters for foreign currency, which has repeatedly been cited as a reason for local police preventing our settlers or visitors from entering our territory under the pretext of "security reasons." We have filed cases against "Hrvatske Šume" in Croatian courts. However, these were dismissed by the public prosecutor and the court in the Osijek-Baranja County, citing that the area of "Gornja Siga" (Liberland) lies outside Croatian jurisdiction. That would indicate Hrvatske Šume has no business being there, since their mandate covers the forests of Croatia and not others. We seek to establish good neighbourly relations with Croatia and Osijek-Baranja County. Our goal is to promote this region and strengthen it economically and touristically through investments. We thank the border authorities for protecting the area and we accept Croatian laws within the framework of EU accession and the Schengen Zone. We hope that this hostile environment for our settlers, visitors, and tourists will be eliminated, fostering a coexistence based on mutual trust and in accordance with Schengen regulations. With your help and support, we can achieve this. Respectfully, [Your Name] Sample Letter 3: Embassy of the Republic of Croatia Dear Ambassador: I am writing to you to express my views regarding a community just outside of Croatia called Gornja Siga, also known as Liberland. I am interested in visiting the area as well as other parts of Croatia; however I’m concerned about reports that Croatian police have orders to treat people who come there in a very unfriendly and unjust manner. It appears there is an ongoing campaign of discrimination by Croatian police against people who want to visit the area and go hiking or biking. For example, there are reports that those who visit the Osijek-Baranja region are getting banned from Croatia for 90 days if they are legally in Croatia, but not a citizen of the EU or a Schengen Zone country. Is this true and if so, why is this happening? Surely it is not in Croatia’s interests to treat tourists like this. This seems to be a violation of the common visa policy and contradicts the rules that apply to Schengen Zone member countries. Unfortunately, the threat of such treatment makes me reluctant to want to travel to Croatia. I think it would be beneficial to all if this issue could be clarified and that equitable and peaceful solutions can be found. I hope this letter finds you in good health and I assure you of my kindest regards. Sincerely Yours, [Your Name] En español: Carta de muestra 1 A la Embajada de la República de Croacia Su excelencia: Me dirijo a usted para preguntarle sobre el trato de Croacia para con las personas que visitan y viven en Gornja Siga, el territorio ocupado fuera de Croacia en la margen derecha del Río Danubio. Hay reportes de que la policía croata y empleados de Hrvatske Šume d.o.o. (Bosques de Croacia) han demolido los hogares y han tomado las pertenencias de la comunidad en Gornja Siga, también conocida como Liberland. Juzgados croatas han declarado que este área, Gornja Siga, yace fuera de la propia jurisdicción de estos mismos cortes y que no tienen la posibilidad de tomar acción contra esta actividad. El duro tratamiento para con estas personas hace ver a Croacia como un lugar poco amigable para los visitantes. Muchos visitantes al área, especialmente ciudadanos no pertenecientes a la Unión Europea que entran a Croacia en forma legal, están siendo acosados, arrestados, o se les ha prohibido el ingreso a Croacia y se les adjunta una alerta de viaje a sus documentos personales. Estas personas no cometen ningún crimen más allá de desear visitar el área. Ahuyentar a los turistas, maltratar a las personas en Gornja Siga, tomar sus pertenencias, y privarlos de su derecho a viaje no brinda una imagen favorable a Croacia desde el exterior. Más allá del desenlace de la disputa fronteriza en general, esta es una comunidad que merece tratamiento justo y equitativo. Le insto a encontrar soluciones pacíficas a esta cuestión. Espero que Croacia tome seriamente sus obligaciones internacionales para con los derechos humanos como Estado Miembro del Pacto Internacional de Derechos Civiles y Políticos así como sus obligaciones como estado miembro de la Unión Europea para sostener la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales. La comunidad de Liberland de Gornja Siga cuenta con un capital considerable para insumir en la economía local en el Condado de Osijek-Baranja y este sólo crecerá en cuanto más personas interesadas vengan a visitar. Si alientan en vez de desmoralizar esta comunidad, puede convertirse en la mayor oportunidad que Croacia tiene para traer inversiones, trabajos, y turismo a una región económicamente estanca. Con su cooperación, estas oportunidades pueden ser desarrolladas en forma conjunta. Su excelencia, apreciaría su punto de vista en este asunto y que desee exponer mis preocupaciones a su gobierno en Zagreb. Gracias por su atención y consideración. Sinceramente, [SU FIRMA] Carta de muestra 2 A la Embajada de la República de Croacia Su excelencia: Desde el 6 de agosto de 2023, hemos tenido acceso a nuestro territorio de Gornja Siga (también conocido como Liberland) y hemos desde entonces mantenido una presencia permanente allí con colonos y visitantes. Nuestros colonos han sobrellevado exitosamente muchos desafíos. A pesar de condiciones adversas como el duro invierno, inundaciones del Danubio, mosquitos, y el difícil transporte de materiales e insumos para construcción, hemos logrado establecer los primeros edificios en el área de Liberland. Las mayores dificultades que tenemos por delante involucran llegar a un consenso legal con los oficiales de las autoridades locales, particularmente la policía fronteriza y la organización "Hrvatske Šume" (la autoridad forestal estatal del Ministerio de Agricultura). Croacia tiene la autoridad legítima para proteger y controlar sus fronteras externas con Liberland. Respetamos y apreciamos esto, pero debemos desafortunadamente señalar que los controles fronterizos son frecuentemente desproporcionados y no siempre cumplen con las regulaciones Schengen. Nuestros colonos y visitantes, especialmente de países no-Schengen/no-UE, son frecuentemente acosados y hasta declarados "persona non grata" dentro del territorio croata, a pesar de ser tenedores de visas Schengen válidas. Este tratamiento surge de la asunción de que nuestros huéspedes extranjeros tienen intenciones criminales al visitar Liberland o asistiendo la construcción de edificios. Vemos esto como una violación estridente de leyes UE/Schengen, ya que poseen una visa o status correcto. Liberlanders, visitantes y turistas extranjeros de la UE son continuamente acosados en los cruces fronterizos de Serbia a Croacia o cuando intentan acceder al territorio en Liberland. Vehículos son sujetos a inspecciones técnicas excesivamente demandantes, y aún deficiencias menores resultan en penalidades excesivas. Estos controles irrazonables ocurren tanto en rutas por tierra como por agua (el Danubio). Otro asunto serio surge de la organización forestal "Hrvatske Šume". Desde septiembre 2023, sus empleados han ilegalmente destruido edificios erigidos por colonos en Gornja Siga y robado materiales de construcción, equipamiento electrónico, antenas, vehículos, bicicletas, alimentos, insumos, y propiedad personal. Estos actos criminales fueron asistidos por autoridades fronterizas locales. Este comportamiento se ha repetido durante la construcción de una clínica en nuestro territorio, apoyada por al organización internacional "Flame of Peace" bajo la familia de Sandor y Margarete von Habsburg como la primera estructura permanente en Liberland. Los cimientos fueron destruidos por maquinaria pesada. En total, materiales valuados en más de 100 000 euros fueron robados bajo la protección de las autoridades fronterizas locales. Para estos ataques criminales ilegales, no han habido ni órdenes escritas ni comandos de la oficina de la fiscalía pública croata. Se sospecha que la autoridad forestal usa a Gornja Siga como un coto de caza para cazadores domésticos y extranjeros por moneda extranjera, lo cual ha sido citado frecuentemente como una razón para que la policía fronteriza local prevenga a nuestros colonos de entrar a nuestro territorio por el pretexto de "razones de seguridad". Hemos presentado demandas contra "Hrvatske Šume" en los tribunales croatas. Sin embargo, estos fueron desestimados por la fiscalía pública y el juzgado en el Condado de Osijek-Baranja, citando que el área de "Gornja Siga" (Liberland) yace fuera de la jurisdicción croata. ESto indicaría que Hrvatske Šume no tiene por qué estar allí, ya que su mandato cubre los bosques de Croacia y no otros, Buscamos establecer buenas negociaciones de vecinos con Croacia y el Condado de Osijek-Baranja. Nuestro objetivo es promover esta región y fortalecerla económica y turísticamente con inversiones. Agradecemos a las autoridades fronterizas por proteger el área y aceptamos las leyes croatas dentro del marco de adhesión a la UE y a la Zona Schengen. Esperamos que este entorno hostil para con nuestros colonos, visitantes, y turistas sea eliminado, promoviendo una coexistencia basada en confianza mutua y de acuerdo a las regulaciones Schengen. Con su ayuda y apoyo, podemos lograrlo. Respetuosamente, [SU FIRMA] Carta de muestra 3 A la Embajada de la República de Croacia Estimado/a Embajador/a: Le escribo para expresar mis vistas respecto a una comunidad justo fuera de Croacia llamada Gornja Siga, también conocida como Liberland. Tengo interés en visitar el área así como Croacia, pero tengo preocupaciones respecto a reportes de que la policía croata tenga órdenes de tratar a las personas que vengan allí en una forma hostil e injusta. Parece que hay una campaña constante de discriminación por parte de la policía croata contra personas que deseen visitar el área para pasear en pie o en bicicleta. Por ejemplo, hay reportes de que quienes visiten el condado de Osijek-Baranja reciben prohibiciones de entrada a Croacia por 90 días si están legalmente en Croacia pero no son ciudadanos de la UE o un país de la zona Schengen. ¿Es esto cierto, y de ser así, por qué sucede? Seguramente no está en los mejores intereses de Croacia tratar así a turistas. Esto parece ser una violación de la política de visado común y contradice las reglas que aplican a los países miembros de la Zona Schengen. Desafortunadamente, la amenaza de tal tratamiento me hace renuente a desear viajar a Croacia. Creo que sería beneficioso para todos si este asunto pudiera ser clarificado y que se encuentren soluciones equitativas y pacíficas. Espero que esta carta le encuentre de buena salud y le aseguro mis más cordiales saludos. Sinceramente, [SU FIRMA]

Liberlanders are already paying for everyday items, like coffee, via Solana Pay and Hel.io The Liberland dollar (LLD), the native coin running and securing the Liberland Blockchain, is available across multiple networks including Liberland Blockchain, Ethereum, SORA Network, and most recently Solana. After the recent introduction of Liberland dollar (LLD) to the Solana ecosystem, more and more people are discovering LLD as a transaction medium. While many interactions are still denominated in US dollars and other fiat currencies, increasingly people around the world are getting used to the idea of denominating transactions in Bitcoin, Ether, and other digital currencies. A screenshot of Solana Pay, with LLD as the selected currency, checking out at FSL Shop This same can be said for LLD. And with a portion of LLD’s 3.4 million supply on Solana, it’s now possible to pay for goods and services across dozens of Shopify stores that use Hel.io’s Shopify app to enable payments through Solana Pay. Solana Pay is an open, free-to-use payments framework built on the Solana blockchain, and is available to millions of businesses as an approved Shopify app. This can save merchants upwards of 2% on credit card transaction fees, allowing them to reinvest those funds back into their business instead of seeing those fees go to Visa and Mastercard. Through Solana Pay, LLD is one of the digital currencies customers can use to pay at checkout! This new integration was made possible by the decision to bridge over some LLD to Solana, and by the incredible minds at Hel.io and Solana Pay to make this app available to Shopify stores, and anyone else who wants to accept onchain payments through Hel.io’s other capabilities. If you want to acquire some LLD today, you can do so on decentralized exchanges like Matcha (Ethereum), Jupiter (Solana), LLDEX (Liberland Blockchain), and centralized exchanges like MEXC, Coinstore and Emirex. You can learn how to bridge LLD from Liberland Blockchain to Ethereum, and then Ethereum to Solana to take full advantage of Solana Pay. Liberlanders and other online merchants can take advantage of Solana Pay’s low fees, fast settlements, and currency flexibility by deploying Hel.io to their store now, and utilizing LLD to its fullest extent! Everyday LLD becomes more capable, accessible, and widespread. Thanks to the support of over 750,000 Liberlanders around the world, the time being expended by the new congress, and the tireless efforts of hundreds of volunteers and team members since 2015, Liberland continues to grow.

President Vít Jedlička has nominated Justin Sun to serve as the acting Prime Minister of Liberland, marking a monumental moment in the nation's history. Prime Minister Sun's blockchain expertise and global prominence are set to play a crucial role in advancing Liberland’s decentralized infrastructure. The first use of the Liberland election process marks a milestone in Liberland's governance, where immutability and accuracy were achieved, ensuring an indisputable election outcome. Including Prime Minister Sun, Congress has the following members: Navid Saberin Dorian Stern Vukotić Michal Ptáčník Justin Sun (Speaker) Evan Luthra Jillian Godsil Ivan Pernar Sun and Evan Luthra, both highly successful in the crypto sphere, bring invaluable experience and leadership to Liberland’s blockchain projects. Jillian Godsil, a respected journalist and long-time advocate for Liberland, and Ivan Pernar, a former Croatian Parliament member, complete this dynamic Congress team. President Jedlička commented, "Justin Sun’s election as Prime Minister is a significant development for Liberland. His global reputation and innovation in blockchain technology align perfectly with our vision of creating a cutting-edge, decentralized society."

A portion of Liberland dollar's supply has been bridged to Solana, and deployed through Raydium. 2024 has marked a significant year in Liberland Blockchain's development and expansion. The Liberland Blockchain wallet facilitates setting up a validator, nominating a validator, sending and receiving LLD, LLM and other tokens, voting on congressional elections, registering a company in Liberland, and more! You probably already know that Liberland dollar (LLD) is live on-chain on Liberland Blockchain and Ethereum, and centralized exchanges like MEXC, Coinstore, and others. You can swap LLD through Matcha, a decentralized exchange aggregator on Ethereum, and even through the LLDEX on Liberland Blockchain. You can use Polkaswap's HASHI bridge to move LLD between Liberland Blockchain, SORA Network, and Ethereum. But it doesn't stop there. Now some big news: LLD is now on Solana! It's trading now on Raydium, and available through aggregation platforms like Jupiter. Why LLD on Solana? Because Solana has turned into a comprehensive ecosystem with millions of users! From early hiccups to becoming a lightning-fast, rock-solid DeFi hub, Solana is second only to Ethereum and leading the charge in new tokens, listings, and bringing cryptocurrency into the mainstream. Solana is Liberland Blockchain's Rust-based cousin; easy-to-port smart contracts and similar wallet software. While it’s not a governance-focused system like Polkadot, it’s a new frontier for Liberland. As the first, real-world country tokenized on the blockchain, we're ready to make Solana part of the Liberland ecosystem. Here are the official, valid links for viewing and swapping LLD on Solana: LLD on Solscan: https://solscan.io/token/GwKKPsJdY5oWMJ8RReWLcvb82KzW6FKy2bKoYW7kHr16 LLD/SOL on Raydium: https://raydium.io/swap/?inputMint=sol&outputMint=GwKKPsJdY5oWMJ8RReWLcvb82KzW6FKy2bKoYW7kHr16 LLD/SOL on Jupiter: https://jup.ag/swap/SOL-GwKKPsJdY5oWMJ8RReWLcvb82KzW6FKy2bKoYW7kHr16 These LLD were bridged from Ethereum to Solana using deBridge's dePort product. A feature of dePort is that all of the tokens it generates on Solana include "freeze authority" function. This is not a function introduced by Liberland, and clearly a function it will not use in accordance with our belief in maximum individual freedoms. There have been numerous reports of illegitimate deployments of LLD on Solana. If you're swapping LLD on Solana, make sure the token contract matches the data above. There have also been reports of unofficial deployments of LLD on other blockchains such as BNB Smart Chain, including one with a supply of 1 billion tokens. Please know that none of these are affiliated with Liberland, the government of Liberland, or the Liberland Blockchain team. The current, total supply of LLD is approximately 3.2 million at time of writing, and government staff have not bridged any LLD to BNB Smart Chain at this time. Any official deployments and liquidity provision is made on our social media channels, here on liberland.org, and placed in our documentation. We welcome the Solana users who have recently discovered Liberland into the fold, and we hope you will all engage more directly with Liberland through e-Residency, citizenship, and our community platforms over time.

LONDON – On October 10, President Jedlička attended the “Global Excellence in Leadership Summit and Awards GELSA 2024” held in the UK Parliament at the Palace of Westminster in London, where he was presented with the Global Excellence in Leadership Award. The session was chaired by the Honourable Mr. Gareth Bacon, Member of the UK Parliament for Orpington and Shadow Minister for Justice and for Business and Trade, as well as Shadow Minister for London. President Jedlička was presented with the Global Excellence in Leadership Award and delivered a brief speech to the attendees of the event. The GELSA event was organized by the Movastacon Foundation founded by Mr. Mohit Srivastava. The Movastacon Foundation is a think tank and civic body dedicated to policy research, global networking, and social work. This summit discussed, among other things, UK-India relations and enhancing business, academic and partnership ties. The summit had extensive discussion on the leadership approach on maintaining international relations and enhancing cooperation in the presence of the members of the UK parliament, academics, businesspeople and other eminent personalities from the UK, India and around the globe.  The Honourable Mr. Gareth Bacon, Member of the UK Parliament for Orpington, presided over the session. Mr. Bacon was honored by the Movastacon Foundation with a Certificate of Excellence for his contributions for the Indian community in his constituency. Mr. Bacon has been the Conservative MP for Orpington since December 2019 and currently undertakes the roles of Shadow Minister (Justice), Shadow Minister (London), and Shadow Minister (Business and Trade). Other eminent speakers included the Honourable Lord Raminder Ranger; Mr. James Kennedy, CEO of GBS; Mrs. Reka Vicky, Owner of Sarvana Bhavan in London; Mr. Mohit Srivastava, founder of the Movastacon Foundation and many others.  Global Excellence in Leadership Summit and Awards (GELSA) 2024 at the UK Parliament, London President Jedlička’s acceptance speech follows: Distinguished guests, Mr. Gareth Bacon, representatives of the Movastacon Foundation, I am deeply honoured to accept this Global Excellence in Leadership Award here in the magnificent space inside of the British parliament. This recognition is not just a reflection of my personal efforts but of the dedication, resilience, and vision of the people of Liberland. Our journey is rooted in the belief that freedom, innovation and collaboration can create a society where opportunity knows no boundaries. Last week I received an award on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's birthday in Oxford. There are many things to learn from his legacy. Many people ask me why I started a new country. I sometimes remember his famous quote: “Be the change you want to see in the world.” With Liberland, we are building a new model of statehood building on a voluntary tax system built on removing the potential conflict between the state and its citizens. We believe that citizenship should be an asset, not a liability. We believe that citizens should be true shareholders of the country they live in. We also believe in full transparency of state utilising blockchain technology as an immutable system of running state affairs. As we hold the first important elections this weekend, I am proud to announce that the system works as envisioned and Liberland has become the first sovereign state in the world to fully utilise blockchain in its affairs. I am also excited that the Prime Minister role was taken by none other than famous entrepreneur and diplomat Justin Sun.  I extend my heartfelt thanks to shadow minister of justice Mr. Bacon and the Movastacon Foundation for this incredible honour. It strengthens my resolve to continue working towards a future where leadership means empowering others, where liberty and responsibility are intertwined, and where we build a legacy of positive change for generations to come. Thank you.

On Sunday, 6th October, at 05:00 AM CET, the results of Liberland’s Test Congress Election were tallied. This marked the full deployment of our blockchain-based election system, ensuring that the results are final and immutable. The election process, governed by a simple set of rules, was entirely algorithmic, providing transparency. This system has a unique ability to eliminate doubt regarding election outcomes, a challenge faced by many countries still relying on traditional methods. We hope to be a pioneering example of what will soon become common practice. The Liberland Congress Elections have brought significant and influential changes to Congress. The winner of this election is Justin Sun, a serial entrepreneur and founder of the TRON (TRX) network. President Vít Jedlička has nominated Speaker Sun to serve as the acting Prime Minister of Liberland. Alongside Prime Minister Sun, three Members of Congress from the previous election period have been re-elected: Navid Saberin Dorian Stern Vukotić Michal Ptáčník These three are well-established Liberlanders, recognized and respected members of our national community. The newly elected Members of Congress are: Justin Sun (Speaker) Evan Luthra Jillian Godsil Ivan Pernar Justin Sun and Evan Luthra are newcomers to Liberland but have consistently proven themselves as accomplished entrepreneurs in the crypto space. Their track records as genuine “doers” will be instrumental in advancing our blockchain projects, and their skill and dedication promise to benefit Liberland as a whole. Jillian Godsil, a seasoned Liberland representative and prominent journalist, will contribute immensely, especially in presenting Liberland to the broader public. Last but certainly not least, Ivan Pernar is a former member of the Croatian Parliament who presented for the last five years a unique voice of reason in the name of liberty on the Croatian political scene. The Provisional Government extends its congratulations to all the winners and eagerly anticipates Congress’s growing influence within our political system.

We want to give you a short update about Hringur's Finger case and our struggle against injustice. Earlier this year, we told you the curious saga of Hringur’s finger. Hringur, a settler in Liberland, gave the middle finger to a tree. But not just any tree. This tree had an inconspicuous green camera on it, one of many installed illegally by Hrvatske Šume, the Croatian Forestry Service. Why illegally? Because the Šume has no jurisdiction in Liberland. We know these tree cameras belong to Hrvatske Šume. But, as luck would have it, at that particular moment, the camera was being monitored by a Croatian Border Police officer. The officer, apparently taking it personally, decided that Hringur’s little gesture wasn’t aimed at the Forestry Service but was instead a direct insult to the Border Police. How dare he? Hringur was apprehended within minutes of flipping off the camera. The case was rushed to court, which—unlike with other cases—immediately sprang into action, scheduling a hearing the very same day. Hringur’s attorney bought some time by requesting a Danish translator, and the hearing was postponed until the next day. Even with the slight delay, it wasn’t easy to find Hringur a lawyer, but we managed. Hringur also received a preliminary injunction banning him from entering Liberland. Apparently, extending his middle finger was such a serious offence that the court’s translation even claimed it was a “delict against the basis of civilisation” (which probably meant something closer to “bad behaviour” in plain English). The initial fine? A modest EUR 650, suggesting this was no mere slap on the wrist. But wait, there’s more! Hringur lost the case, and—because why not—the fine was increased to a whopping EUR 3000. Naturally, we appealed... and lost. Let’s recap the absurdity: The Croatian Forestry Service has no jurisdiction over Siga and thus no business being there. The Croatian police has no business being there either. Even if we generously accept Croatian legal overreach (constituting a de facto invasion of a foreign territory, but hey, nobody’s perfect), the Border Police only have jurisdiction to protect the Schengen borders, not to ponder every little gesture made at a tree camera. Hringur had no idea a police officer was watching. In short: There’s no proof Hringur intended to insult the police. In fact, it’s clear he didn’t. His middle finger was meant for the Forestry Service. Hringur had way more reasons to dislike the Forestry Service than the police (namely, for stealing and/or destroying  a lot of our stuff). Now, let’s get to the legal part. Some minor offences can be prosecuted for negligence—like when someone fails to act as a “reasonable” person would. But this isn’t one of those cases. When it comes to insults, intent matters.  Picture this: A foreigner, unfamiliar with Croatian customs, comes along, and, in his culture, the middle finger is a gesture of praise—“You’re number one!” If he showed it to the police, would he be guilty? Of course not! Why? Because the intent to insult is missing.  It’s the same for Hringur. His target wasn’t the police but the Šume. His intent was simply to vent, but had it been to insult, it would clearly have been to insult Šume. The intent matters; the intent is missing, and this should have been dismissed on the point of the missing intent alone. Even if we ignore this crucial fact, let’s pretend we live in a world where people are guilty of insulting without intent (which banana republic is this again?).  Would Hringur have known that a police officer was sneakily watching him through a Forestry Service camera? No, of course not! What kind of dystopian state would expect citizens to assume there’s a policeman behind every camera, lurking in every shadow?  This would strip away legal certainty and personal freedom, turning people into fearful subjects of an all-seeing Big Brother state—something that might have flown during Tito’s Yugoslavia, but that ended over 30 years ago. So even a “reasonable” person would not be expected to know not to do what Hringur had done. Even the hypothetical and unreal “insult by negligence” would not have been provable before a court of law. But apparently, none of this mattered to the courts of the Republic of Croatia. But wait, there’s more! After the first verdict, both the Court and the Public Prosecutor’s office confirmed that there is no civil or criminal jurisdiction—misdemeanours included—over Gornja Siga, where Hringur was standing when he made his fateful gesture.  The only connection to Croatia was that the Forestry Service happened to be spying from across the border. However, none of this jurisdiction business and the fact that the deed happened outside of Croatia mattered in the slightest, and the verdict was confirmed guilty, and the final fine was 3000 euros. We’re now taking this to the Constitutional Court because we won’t let this travesty of justice go unanswered. If there’s a “crime against the very basis of civil society”, it wasn’t Hringur’s middle finger. It was the farce of a legal process that followed. And we will defend the rule of law in Croatia—even against the very Croatian state organs that should be upholding it. We have a well-prepared case built on over a hundred incidents involving people guilty of nothing more than daring to dream of building something beautiful in Gornja Siga—a land explicitly rejected by both Croatia and Serbia. Over ten people from non-EU countries have been banned, along with no less than five EU citizens. The police made use of provisions reserved for the most dangerous criminals, applying them to innocent people and stripping them of any meaningful appeal. We are now taking these cases to the EU authorities themselves. The Hringur case should have made this clear, but when you consider the other violations, it becomes obvious: Liberlanders are facing a systematic campaign of defamation and denial of basic rights. This shouldn’t be happening in 21st-century Europe. We will make sure it stops and that justice is finally served. Stay tuned for more!

On October 2, 2024, President Vít Jedlička addressed the 44th Mahatma Gandhi Leadership Conference and Awards Ceremony at the historic Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England. President Vít Jedlička addresses Mahatma Gandhi Leadership Conference at Oxford President Jedlička at the Mahatma Gandhi Leadership Conference OXFORD, 2 OCTOBER -- On Wednesday, 2 October 2024, President Vít Jedlička addressed the 44th Mahatma Gandhi Leadership Conference and Awards Ceremony held at the historic Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England. The event was held on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and put together by the NRI Welfare Society and Global Empire Events.  His speech follows: Ladies and Gentlemen, Distinguished Guests. I am deeply honoured to receive this Mahatma Gandhi award. Today, we celebrate the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi, a global symbol of truth, nonviolence, and freedom. Gandhi's message transcends borders, and his commitment to peaceful resistance inspires nations like ours — Liberland — founded on the principles of liberty, fairness and voluntary cooperation. Removing violence from relation between citizen and his country is the essential mission of Liberland. A society based on voluntary contributions rather than forced taxation is our goal as next evolutionary step for mankind. Gandhi’s philosophy of Satyagraha, or the pursuit of truth, resonates with our mission to create a society free from oppression. His words, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world," remind us that real transformation starts within ourselves. As we celebrate Gandhi today, we are reminded that the journey to true freedom is not easy, but it is worth every step. Let his courage inspire us to build a nation of peace, justice, and individual responsibility. Thank you. Live and let live. President Vít Jedlička The Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology on Beaumont Street, Oxford, England, is Britain's oldest standing public museum. Its first building was erected in the late 1670s to house the cabinet of curiosities that Elias Ashmole FRS gave to the University of Oxford in 1677.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since the infamous Raid of 21st September. The Provisional Government of Liberland has, therefore, declared 21st September as an official day of remembrance. Time sure flies when you're busy holding your ground! Since then, the Permanent Settlement of Liberland has not just survived but thrived. Some days, we’re conquering big goals, other days we’re preparing for the future—but we’re always moving forward. A Look Back at the Raid Ah, the good ol’ days, before the border police and Hrvatske Šume, d.o.o. (think: Croatia’s Forestry Company, but with more questionable behaviour) barged in. Our community was thriving, and life was good. That is, until they showed up, pretending to “clean the forest floor” while they looted us! Vehicles, appliances, Starlink terminals, solar panels, even generators—gone! They even dismantled entire houses, like some kind of “extreme decluttering” mission. Silence is Golden? Not So Fast! Since that raid, we’ve heard crickets from the authorities on their so-called “forest floor cleaning.” Funny how that excuse didn’t stick. We tried to report their—let’s call it what it is—theft. The result? A full year of silence. Then, finally, a letter! Not just any letter, but a masterpiece of state-run avoidance from the State Attorney in Osijek. Here’s the gist of it:   The State Attorney said they couldn’t handle the case because it’s outside their territorial jurisdiction. (Thanks, Captain Obvious!) They couldn’t pass it on to any other state attorney in Croatia.   And they sure couldn’t give it to a foreign attorney. So, we’re left in legal limbo. But in a weird way, this letter admitted that Liberland is not part of Croatia or any other country (Serbia included). It’s like Croatia’s way of unofficially confirming our independence—and we’re not complaining! Big Plans for the Fall Rest assured, we have big things in the works. We’re committed to working out our differences with Croatia and finding an amicable solution—without ever compromising our position. We're pushing forward to restore what we had before 21st September, and we plan to go even further. The Permanent Settlement, which officially opened on 6th August 2023, has survived everything thrown at it—and we’re ready to thrive! Floating Liberland In addition to the other plans, we are preparing to settle Liberland from the river with houseboats. Floating Liberland will be a separate village; you can read about it on our official website. Want to know more? Please contact us at [email protected]. Want to Join Us? Interested in settling with us? We'd love to hear from you! Shoot us a message at [email protected].   Want to help our settlement efforts? Head over to https://market.ll.land.   You can also support us by buying Liberland dollars (LLD) on Uniswap and holding them through the winter, helping keep our network strong and stable. Liberland isn’t just a dream—it’s here, and we’re here to stay. Stay tuned, because the best is yet to come!

Liberland just wrapped up Liberpulco, an international freedom festival in cooperation with Anarchapulco, the famous freedom gathering that happens every February in Acapulco, Mexico. The event took place in Apatin on the Danube River, in and around the new nation of Liberland. Liberland’s Ark Village, located in nearby Apatin, Serbia, serves as the base for bringing Liberland and Anarchapulco fans together for several days of fun, food and freedom and resulting in several new Liberland e-residents, citizens and settlers. Based on the success of the event, the organizers decided to have Liberpulco as a regular event every September here. Liberland and Anarchapulco Come Together for LIBERPULCO, Announce Liberpulco 2025 Liberpulco: Liberland and Anarchapulco Come Together Apatin, Serbia, September 11, 2024 - Liberland just wrapped up Liberpulco, an international freedom festival in cooperation with Anarchapulco, the famous freedom gathering that happens every February in Acapulco, Mexico. The event took place in Apatin on the Danube River, in and around the new nation of Liberland. Liberland’s Ark Village, located in nearby Apatin, Serbia, serves as the base for bringing Liberland and Anarchapulco fans together for several days of fun, food and freedom and resulting in several new Liberland e-residents, citizens and settlers. The Ark was the perfect setting for free thinkers to gather and get a taste of the liberty Liberland is building in the Balkans. Now lovers of freedom can look forward to new installments of the successful festival every September, while the weather is still beautiful and perfect for sailing the Danube or cycling or hiking in Liberland.  Speakers from the Liberland and Anarchapulco communities addressed attendees. Speakers and VIP guests included Liberland President Vit Jedlicka, Anarchapulco founder Jeff Berwick, HIRH Sandor Hapsburg-Lothringen, United Nations Correspondents Association Vienna Chief Abdalla Sharief, former EU Commissioner John Dali, former Croatian Member of Parliament Ivan Pernar, and several other experts on health, wellness and personal and financial freedom. Side events consisted of interactive workshops to stimulate personal growth and how to find freedom in an increasingly unfree world. Festivalgoers enjoyed local Serbian food as well as musical acts and DJs and many took part in the Sunday boat trip to Liberland on the Danube or on the land trip on bikes via Croatia. Liberpulco attendees celebrated President Vit Jedlicka’s 41st birthday as well as his engagement to the First Lady-to-be Jana. Also in attendance were the Liberland cabinet and several representatives from around the world, including the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, South Africa, Mexico, Norway, Belize, United States, Russia and Australia. Several attendees remained to visit or settle Liberland itself and earn the benefits of Liberland citizenship.  The event outperformed expectations and the attendance was roughly 80% greater than expected. The respective teams decided to start planning for next year’s installment in September 2025.

It was established on April 13, 2015 on unclaimed and unwanted land between the two countries by Vít Jedlička (pronounced yed-litch-ka). Originating from a larger border dispute, its 7 km territory is now the third smallest sovereign state after the Vatican and Monaco. Liberland's motto, "To live and let live," reflects its commitment to personal and economic freedom. The Constitution ensures limited governmental interference in its citizens' lives.

We wish to address several inaccuracies and misleading statements recently published regarding Liberland and its founder, Vít Jedlička, in the 1 September article by Filip Pavić. We respectfully request corrections to be issued in accordance with Zakon o medijima u R Hrvatskoj; Narodne novine br. 59/2004, 84/2011, 81/2013, 114/2022. Who is Vít Jedlička? Vít Jedlička is not an anarchist like the article erroneously states — he’s actually a statesman and entrepreneur, and he has founded Liberland, a brand new country. Anarchists are not known for starting new nations. Mr. Jedlička’s awards for his peace and humanitarian work from the Gusi Peace Prize and the Humanitarian Focus Foundation at the UN in New York - as well as his solid background in politics and business - show that he’s a builder, not a disruptor. Allegations of Support from Serbia Claims that Serbia backs Liberland or Vit Jedlička are completely false. Liberland gets no financial, political, or any other type of support from Serbia. We’re ready to be fully transparent about this so anyone can check for themselves - our books are open to the journalists from Jutarnji List or officials of Croatia who might show legitimate interest in correcting their mistaken positions. There are absolutely no connections, arrangements or deals with the Serbian government. Making false statements of this nature is not just wrong—these statements are defamatory and may be subject to legal action. Status of the Land in Question Gornja Siga is not part of Croatia’s forest management land. According to multiple statements from the Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Croatia’s official position is that the border with Serbia is defined by historical cadastral borders, not the Danube’s main channel (thalweg). The Croatian Constitution and laws support this position, clearly defining Croatian territory and Gornja Siga not being a part of it. This is reflected in official Croatian and European cadastral maps confirming that Gornja Siga is not Croatian land. As a result, the Ministry of Agriculture cannot allocate land in Gornja Siga to Hrvatske Šume d.o.o., a state-owned company whose authority is strictly limited to managing forests within Croatia, as defined by the Law on Forestry. According to official documents from the Ministry of Agriculture and Hrvatske Šume, you will see that Gornja Siga is not listed under the “Zmajevac Danube Forests” or any other forest under Croatian management. Claiming otherwise would be akin to Croatia attempting to administer a forest in another country, like Austria. If we may refer to Hrvatske Šume’s own website, it shows Gornja Siga as outside of the unit named “ZMAJEVAČKE PODUNAVSKE ŠUME” and also outside of Croatian territory: https://webgis.hrsume.hr/arcgis/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=8bb3e1d6b80d49ad9e0193f8b62380e2 The green line outlines the Šume unit; the red line indicates state borders. If we were to accept Croatia’s narrative, it would mean that Croatian entities, like Hrvatske Šume d.o.o., have unlawfully entered territory that Croatia claims either belongs to Serbia or is - at best - reserved for future international dispute resolution. In both cases, this suggests unauthorized encroachment on land that Croatia does not own. If we go by Croatia’s own official stance—that the dispute should end in the land belonging to Serbia, ergo the land is Serbia — it would essentially amount to an invasion of Serbia. As per the Liberland position, this is an unwarranted and unprovoked aggression into its territory. It is our position that the activities of Hrvatske Šume d.o.o. - and by extension, the Ministry of Agriculture - violate the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia; according to Article 7, even Croatian armed forces may only cross borders pursuant to approval by the Croatian Parliament and with the prior approval of the President. According to Article 8 of the Constitution, the borders of the Republic of Croatia may be altered solely by a decision of the Croatian Parliament, and to date, the Parliament has made no such decision to include the area of Gornja Siga inside its borders. It should be noted that Gornja Siga was never part of Croatia during the time of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Also, in the late 1990s, when the area of eastern Slavonia was integrated into the Republic of Croatia following the operations of the United Nations Transitional Administration in Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium (UNTAES) administrative zone, Gornja Siga was decidedly not included in it. As such, the activities of Hrvatske Šume d.o.o. in Gornja Siga are clear and quite serious violations of international law, a point that the Ministry cited in the article seems to acknowledge publicly. Liberland, which strictly follows the rules of Public International Law, is actively pursuing legal action against this encroachment in Croatian courts and, where possible, in international forums. We will pursue all available avenues until these illegal actions are stopped. On the So-Called “Cleaning” of the Forest Floor We need to clarify the claim that there have been “garbage cleaning operations” in Gornja Siga. As outlined earlier, these operations are illegal because Gornja Siga is not Croatian territory. It is crucial to understand what these operations actually entailed. On 21 September 2023, an entire functioning settlement was forcibly demolished, which included a fully equipped kitchen, working power generators, solar panels, and a Starlink terminal. Vehicles were also taken away as “garbage,” along with personal belongings of people residing there. All of this was done against the protests of the settlement’s inhabitants and visitors. On 16 February 2024, an entire houseboat was removed against the will of its inhabitants, who were threatened with physical violence.  More recently, on 19 August 2024, the construction site of Liberland's first medical clinic—a humanitarian project intended to serve both locals and visitors, founded in collaboration with HIRH Sandor Habsburg—was vandalized and destroyed. These actions amount to theft, robbery and wanton destruction. Given that the stolen items were taken into Croatian territory and the perpetrators were Croatian, we have reported these incidents as crimes to the authorities of the Republic of Croatia. Liberland’s Position and Intentions We respect both Croatia’s and Serbia’s positions and actively seek tighter relations with Croatia, viewing it as our key partner in the region. Our goal remains the peaceful and legal establishment of the community of Liberland, with respect for the sovereignty and legal frameworks of all neighbouring countries. The Liberland community can become the greatest economic opportunity for the region of Osijek-Baranja in decades and the tightest and most trustworthy partner for the Republic of Croatia. We are at a loss as to why this is not recognized in the political circles of Croatia and why actions are taken to hinder the inflow of jobs, tourism and economic development we are about to introduce into the region. We urge all parties and media outlets to engage with accurate information and to avoid spreading false claims that could harm diplomatic relations and misrepresent the nature of Liberland’s efforts and intentions.

Apatin, Serbia, 16 August 2024 – Liberland celebrated yet another successful instalment of Floating Man, its annual summer festival. Inspired by Burning Man desert festival, Floating Man takes place primarily on the Danube River, in and around the new nation of Liberland. Liberland’s Ark Village, located in nearby Apatin, Serbia, serves as the base to bring together Liberland citizens and locals together for several days of fun, food and freedom. The peak of the season is coming in 2 weeks—Liberpulco. And from 5 to 7 September, Ark Village will serve as the site of Liberpulco! Working together with the Anarchapulco team, we are bringing the famous freedom gathering that happens every February in Acapulco to Europe. It’s the perfect chance to meet like-minded free thinkers and get a taste of the liberty we’re building in the Balkans.  Are you able to come earlier? There are two pre-events. The first one is called Uncle Sava, taking place on 31st August, celebrating local cuisine with traditional stews. The second one is Liberforko, from September 2 to 4. You can find the full program and tickets online at liberpulco.com. There is an option to book cabins directly on the event site, but be sure to hurry, as they are disappearing quickly.

A response to Leon Žganec-Brajša of the Law Faculty of the University of Zagreb, Department of International Law The Ministry of Foreign Affairs thanks Mr. Leon Žganec-Brajša for his article on the website of the Zagreb Faculty of Law published on 19 September 2023 concerning statehood of Liberland. We have read it with great interest, and in this memorandum we intend to review and respond to the points made in this article.  Whether it is recognized as a state by Croatia or not, Liberland has existed as a community since 2015. It has had a continuous presence on the territory of Gornja Siga (Liberland) since 6 August 2023. How Does a Community Become a State? The Case of Liberland   A response to Leon Žganec-Brajša of the Law Faculty of the University of Zagreb, Department of International Law Ministry of Foreign Affairs Free Republic of Liberland Whether it is recognized as a state by Croatia or not, Liberland has existed as a community since 2015. It has had a continuous presence on the territory of Gornja Siga (Liberland) since 6 August 2023. With over 800,000 applicants worldwide, 3000 E-Residents, 1000 citizens and close to 100 representative offices, interest and support for Liberland is undeniable. Croatian authorities have gone from referring to Liberland as a joke or “virtual narrative” to branding it as a “parastate” – i.e., an "institution or body which takes on some of the roles of civil government." We realize it was likely not meant in the sense of a compliment, but it does represent an important admission and recognition of our community as an entity with a legal personality. Croatia does not have to recognize Liberland as a state. It only has to decide to what extent it wants peaceful and prosperous relations with Liberland as a community. We feel this is a step in the right direction, and hope that we can build peaceful and prosperous relations together. The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States In his article, Žganec-Brajša discusses the criteria established by the Montevideo Convention, which are essential for setting the parameters necessary for establishing a state. He also notes: “In practice, there are variations and it is often difficult to distinguish the exact moment in which a country acquired or lost its statehood.” This is true. However, Liberland issued its proclamation of independence on 13 April 2015. According to the declaratory theory of statehood, this is the first and primary step – without requiring formal diplomatic recognition from other states. While we take no position on the Kosovo question, its example is instructive and deserves our further study. As the ICJ stated following Kosovo’s declaration of independence, there is no violation of international law because international law contains no 'prohibition on declarations of independence', Žganec-Brajša states that since the area is disputed, it does not mean that it is free for occupation. That is his opinion and also the stated opinion of Croatian authorities. We disagree. Boundary disputes do not necessarily prevent an entity from becoming a state. In fact, the area of Liberland itself—Gornja Siga—is not disputed in the sense that neither Croatia nor Serbia wants it. Gornja Siga does not belong to Croatia in their view of the border dispute, nor does it belong to Serbia in their vision of how the border should be drawn. The other areas may be considered disputed or contested areas because they are claimed by both Serbia and Croatia. If Liberlanders were to occupy one of the pockets of land on the left riverbank (the left bank is the eastern side, and the right bank the western), then the dispute-related argument might have relevance (there are a few settlements in those areas already, such as the small village of Dondo and various weekend huts, hunting, agricultural and beekeeping facilities). The Badinter Commission and the borders of former Yugoslav republics In 1991, the Arbitration Commission of the Peace Conference on Yugoslavia (also referred to as the Badinter Commission) ruled in Opinion #3 that the borders between federal units of the SFRY became inviolable international borders. The inter-governmental commission established to address border questions between Croatia and Serbia (the Interstate Diplomatic Commission for the Identification and Determination of the Border between Croatia and Serbia) has only convened a handful of times, and basically has agreed to disagree with no further resolution. The Serbs prefer the thalweg of the Danube to be the line of control between Serbia and Croatia, although they have taken few steps if any to formalize the establishment of new borders. The Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs famously issued a statement after the founding of Liberland that the "new state" does not infringe upon their territory, effectively issuing a quitclaim to that particular piece of land. Nonetheless, Serbian pilots avoid flying over the Croatia-claimed pockets on the left bank as it is deferentially treated as Croatian airspace.  Croatia insists Gornja Siga (Liberland) is Serbian territory, even though Serbs who try to enter Liberland are not treated very well and regularly expelled. One state cannot dictate the borders of another or what goes on outside its own borders; otherwise it is in effect an international bully. Fulfilling the Montevideo Convention criteria Žganec-Brajša makes a number of assertions that are demonstrably incorrect or at least disputable. He writes: “No one lives in the area along the Danube where Liberland is supposedly located. Despite sporadic attempts by the "citizens" of Liberland to visit the territory of their "state", it does not have a permanent population, and therefore does not meet this criterion either. This is incorrect. While Croatian police prevented from entering Liberland for most of its history, this has not been true since 6 August 2023, over one month before his article was published. The community of Liberland has had a continuous presence on the land since that date, even with the difficulties posed by police behaviour as well as challenges presented by the weather and the water. He continues: “Independent government, normally in the case of serious states the most disputed criterion and the one about which doubts most often arise, is also not present in the case of Liberland. Neither the "authorities" of Liberland can sovereignly dispose of "their" territory, nor can they guarantee any rights to their "population", nor can they act independently in international relations. So Liberland does not meet this criterion either.” The community of Liberland does not exercise full control over its territory because of police controls and harassment both in and outside of the settlement. Croatia also installed “no mooring” signs along the Liberland coast (among several other breaches of the Convention Regarding the Regime of Navigation on the Danube). In spite of this, we are still there on the land itself. Liberland has a provisional government and its Constitution and Congress are the expression of the will of its people. Liberland has and does act independently in an international context. It has sent many official legations to other nations since long before the settlement began. We often point out that Croatia did not have full control over its territory when other nations began to issue formal diplomatic recognition, nor did it have consent from the people living in the areas it did not control, which amounted to a considerable part of the country. Liberland is not part of Croatia, and never was It is our position that Croatian authorities are acting in an extralegal, unconstitutional manner in the way they are dealing with the Liberland question. We assert that the activities of the Croatian Border Police violate the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia; according to Article 7, Croatian forces may only cross borders pursuant to approval by the Croatian Parliament and with the prior approval of the President. We know no law within Croatia's legal framework that explicitly grants the country ownership or jurisdiction over this area. Our understanding is that Croatia's jurisdiction should be limited to border monitoring and specific, coordinated actions with Serbia, which as noted, they are averse to engage in. According to Article 8 of the Constitution, the borders of the Republic of Croatia may be altered solely by a decision of the Croatian Parliament, and to date the Parliament has made no such decision to include the area of Gornja Siga inside of its borders. Instead, it seems they are colonizing an area that does not lie on any Croatian map and that they do not officially claim. We do not grasp how Croatia can assert authority over the disposal of a territory that is not and was not part of Croatia. Gornja Siga was never part of Croatia during the time of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In the late 1990s, as the area of eastern Slavonia was integrated into the Republic of Croatia following the operations of the United Nations Transitional Administration in Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium (UNTAES) administrative zone, Gornja Siga was decidedly not included in it. Getting through to Croatian decision-makers Croatian authorities seem rather stubborn in the way they have responded to matters at hand – with police overreach, trumped-up charges and harsh treatment of curious but innocuous visitors. As the saying goes, “if the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.” It seems their only tool in dealing with the Liberland community is a hammer. There have only been indirect responses to our many attempts at correspondence with Croatia’s Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ombudswoman’s office or other state organs. We have had brief but cordial meetings with President Zoran Milanovic, former President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, a few members of the Sabor (Parliament), and Defence Minister Ivan Anušić while he was still the governor of Osijek-Baranja County. The Foreign Ministry also responded to a letter-writing campaign to Croatian embassies around the world, to which we issued a counter-response. As the saying goes, “if the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.” It is nonetheless difficult to determine who actually decides Liberland policy and why we are being treated in the odd and often unpleasant way we are. We have been told that the SOA intelligence service has a hand in making things difficult for us and our allies, and/or that the Croatian “deep state” is attempting to keep us discouraged, using law enforcement and Šume as muscle to push us around. Finally, some sources have informed us that local interests want to continue using the area for exploiting timber or for hunting. Perhaps it is precisely because the land is not in Croatia that they can get away with what they do, and it is probably our own lack of a cloak-and-dagger approach that leaves us guessing. We have pointed out ad nauseam that a thriving Liberland would bring considerable business, investment and tourism to our friends in Croatia. We have already done this in Croatia to a certain extent, and in Serbia to a far greater extent, with Liberland community members purchasing real estate in the area around Zmajevac and Batina and spending a considerable amount of money in maritime services, local hardware shops and other service providers. Liberland is prepared to pay Croatia for goods, services, infrastructure improvements and much more. We can bring more jobs to a region that has seen a mass exodus of people over the past few decades. After all, Liberland has a truly unique selling point - it can bring something to the region that Croatia cannot. We sincerely do not understand why Croatia ignores this tremendous opportunity. Liberland is prepared to pay Croatia for goods, services, infrastructure improvements and much more. We can bring more jobs to a region that has seen a mass exodus of people over the past few decades. We sincerely do not understand why Croatia ignores this tremendous opportunity. With Croatia actively hindering our state-building capacity as much as they can, they might disingenuously claim that Liberland does not possess the capacity to manage the territory and exert effective power over it. It's like breaking a marathon runner's legs and declaring they cannot participate in the marathon because they cannot run.  But as mentioned, Croatia does not have to decide whether it recognizes Liberland as a state. We don't expect it to. It only has to decide to what extent it wants a peaceful and prosperous co-existence with Liberland as a community. The role of Hrvatske Šume On multiple occasions, personnel from the state forestry concern, Hrvatske Šume d.o.o. – accompanied by Croatian police units – entered Liberland community settlements and destroyed or stole the personal property of community members. We know the area is exploited by them, even though it does not hold legal jurisdiction over the community here nor is it the owning entity of the land in Gornja Siga. Šume’s own website clearly shows Gornja Siga as outside of the territory of Croatia. Perhaps the presence of the settlers has interfered with illicit hunting or other use of the area. There is plenty of wildlife including deer and boar, and many people have said that they spotted hunters entering the area prior to the settlement. Good heavens! A Serbian plot? To be sure, Croatian authorities have done plenty to undermine their own position in the border dispute with Serbia. As we have noticed, there is Croatian suspicion of Serbian involvement in Liberland to sabotage the resolution of the dispute or to simply provoke Croatia. While our community has received considerably better treatment on the Serbian side, and we employ many Serbians in the Apatin area, there is no Serbian direction of our activities. There is lingering, mutual nationalist resentment between Serbia and Croatia. The two countries cannot even exchange diplomatic notes without referencing each others’ aggression in wars past. While it is important to understand the region’s conflicts and their legacies, we’d love to see that mutual suspicion disappear. In fact, Liberland could be a bridge between the two and bring benefits to people on both sides of the Danube. Again, regardless of whether Croatia recognizes Liberland as a bona fide state, we should call attention to some realities of the situation. Our Grievances We are thankful that there have been to date no serious casualties, refugee problems or famine. Nonetheless, our list of grievances is not small and is rather well-documented. It is our position that Croatia’s actions towards the community in Gornja Siga are occurring outside of their jurisdiction, outside of their state borders and outside of the Schengen Zone, which Croatia joined in January 2023. Direct attacks on the nascent settlement; facilitating theft or destruction of community members’ property and buildings by Hrvatske Šume Travel restrictions, expulsions and bans on individual members of the Liberland community: Certain EU citizens have been banned from entering Croatia for five years Bans for non-EU and non-Schengen citizens (usually 30 or 90-day bans, as well as travel-related red flags that result in delays when crossing other borders). Some of these individuals never even went to Liberland and were entrapped or lied to by Croatian police officers in a very unprofessional manner. This differential treatment of non-EU citizens contradicts principles of equality before the law Refusal of entry to people arriving by private aircraft at public airports (Osijek) Administrative and other barriers to navigation on the Danube River imposed by the border, port and navigation authorities of Croatia Erecting and enforcing "No Mooring" signs on the coast of Gornja Siga, among other breaches of the Danube Commission treaty Delays, harassment and detainment at border crossings such as Batina Overzealous inspection stops of Liberland community members’ vehicles in Croatia Intimidation and harsh treatment of Croatians helping or interested in Liberland, especially students and other young persons. Some of our Croatian personnel have been fined or even physically assaulted Curiously, when we tried to file an action against the thefts by Šume, the prosecutor and court in Osijek, Croatia delivered an opinion to us that these events are occurring outside of their jurisdiction so they can't do anything about it!  These actions are quite peculiar and warrant an elevation of our grievances to a higher, international level—including but not limited to the EU, EC, Council of Europe, the ECHR, and various international organizations and bodies. Possible outcomes of the border dispute Regardless of the outcome of the border disagreement, Liberland is an existing community and will continue to exist in the face of these challenges. However some speculation on possible outcomes is instructive. Every option contains interesting possibilities for Liberland. Status quo prevails. The current situation continues, with Liberlanders being allowed to make no-to-low-impact visits to the territory while having to endure a heavy Croatian police presence (this is admittedly better than the situation prior to August 2023, as we are actually on the land now). Croatia wins. The left-bank pockets are unequivocally established as Croatian territory. Serbia reluctantly retains Siga, but potentially allows Liberland to develop under a policy of benign neglect. Croatia builds a wall or other barrier and may or may not establish a permanent crossing. Serbia wins. The line of the thalweg (deepest point) of the Danube River becomes the border. Croatia has no more territory or airspace on the left bank, and integrates Siga into Croatia (for which they need an act of parliament to do). Eastern Croatia continues to stagnate economically and becomes more of a ghost region than it already is. As a consolation prize, Serbia could make an agreement with Liberland to take charge of part of the former Croatian claim and establish a semi-autonomous, eco-friendly zone there. Some form of compromise is reached. Croatia retains some of its territory on the left bank while other parts are integrated into Serbia. In this case, each country loses some of its claimed territory. So what happens to Liberland? This scenario for Liberland definitely depends upon the disposition of the deciding arbitration body or bilateral or multilateral organization towards Liberland. However, why would an international arbitration body award land—Gornja Siga—to a country that does not claim or want it? Why not let it continue as an autonomous free zone bringing benefits and jobs to both Croatia and Serbia? Liberland becomes an internationalized territory. Consider the UN Trusteeship Council which has in the past administered trust territories, or perhaps the UNTAES occupation of the nearby region in the 1990s. Such a situation guaranteeing peace and stability could allow Liberland to build out its real-world administrative capacity without interference from the Croatian side. Liberland would have a viable growing community if such a status could guarantee our safety and security – and this would present far fewer challenges than the UNTAES mission. In any scenario, we seek to have friendly relations with Croatia and we take pride in what we have worked hard to accomplish so far. Our wish is to move from a state of confrontation to one of cooperation. We do not expect Croatia to recognize Liberland as a state any time soon, but we do hope that it will turn to diplomacy and goodwill in its approach to the Liberland question. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sincerely hopes that we have provided an accurate view of the points raised in the article and that other relevant information has been contributed to the discussion.

Exciting developments are underway in Liberland, as construction begins on a multifunctional settlement hub in Jefferson Square. This new hub is set to become the heart of the first village on Liberland’s soil, offering a range of essential services and amenities for residents and visitors alike. What Will the Hub Offer? The settlement hub will serve as a temporary residence for those who wish to build their dream life in Liberland. While the initial accommodations may be simple, they will include all the basics needed for comfortable living, such as showers, toilets, running water, and energy powered by solar panels and generators. A Place to Eat and Socialize In addition to living spaces, the hub will feature a kitchen and a small restaurant. This restaurant will offer simple yet delicious dishes prepared by various chefs, marking the beginning of a new culinary tradition in Liberland. Residents and visitors will have a place to gather, enjoy good food, and build a sense of community. Healthcare on Site Healthcare is also a priority in the new settlement hub. A doctor’s office and a first aid station will be established, equipped with as much medical equipment and supplies as possible. The goal is to create a healthcare facility that is more advanced than the typical field medical post, with reliable power sources to keep critical supplies cold and ensure that medical equipment functions properly. Partnerships with Notable Organizations The healthcare facilities in the settlement hub are being developed in collaboration with prestigious organizations, including the Habsburg imperial and royal family, the Order of St. Stanislas, and the Flame of Peace. The Order of St. Stanislas The Order of St. Stanislas, established in 1765 by King Stanisław August Poniatowski of Poland, has a long history of involvement in charitable projects worldwide. Today, it continues to support various humanitarian efforts across 18 countries. Flame of Peace Founded by Archduchess Herta Margarete of Austria in 2008, the Flame of Peace is dedicated to promoting peace and supporting peacemaking efforts globally. The organization also provides humanitarian aid, including food and medical supplies, to those in need. These partnerships highlight Liberland’s commitment to building a community that is not only self-sufficient but also connected to global networks of support and cooperation. The new settlement hub is more than just a building; it represents a significant step forward in Liberland’s development, bringing together essential services, community spaces, and international cooperation to create a vibrant and welcoming environment for all who come to build their future here.

Liberland is on the brink of a historic moment with the forthcoming adoption of its Constitution, currently available in a draft state. This Constitution will establish Liberland as a meritocratic republic, where Citizens hold the political power. If you're a Citizen, your participation is not only welcomed but also crucial to the nation's governance. Liberland is on the brink of a historic moment with the forthcoming adoption of its Constitution, currently available in a draft state. This Constitution will establish Liberland as a meritocratic republic, where Citizens hold the political power. If you're a Citizen, your participation is not only welcomed but also crucial to the nation's governance. The Meritocratic Republic of Liberland In Liberland, Citizens who demonstrate their commitment to the nation wield political power. This Proof of Commitment involves "PolitiPooling" at least 5000 Liberland Merits (LLM). This requirement ensures that voters have a vested interest in the country's well-being and future. Liberland's political system is a balanced interplay between the classical separation of powers as proposed by Montesquieu — the Judiciary, Legislative, and Executive—and the Senate, the republic's guardian. The Senate is integral to Liberland, but operates independently from the Government. The Judiciary: Protector of Rights and Justice The Judiciary is pivotal in safeguarding your rights and ensuring justice. As a Citizen or e-resident, you can engage with the Judiciary via the Liberland Blockchain at blockchain.liberland.org: Contract: Establish a contract with a counterparty. Dispute: If a dispute arises, click on "Dispute". The Judiciary makes decisions based on the Constitution of Liberland. However, for legal certainty and normalcy in international relations, decisions are also based on the law. The Legislative Power The Legislative Power works on an intermediary between direct political power of the Citizens and representation. This representation is strictly voluntary. This means that whatever organs of representation exist (namely Congress), will be only facilitating and streamlining the democratic process, and the final say rests on the Citizens through the Referendum. The Referendum System Laws in Liberland are adopted exclusively through referendums. There are two types of referendums: the Meritocratic Referendum and the Democratic Public Veto. Meritocratic Referendum Purpose A Meritocratic Referendum is used to adopt, reject, or modify any law, regulation, or government decision. Voting Process Citizen Onboarding: Ensure you are an onboarded Citizen. Access Voting Platform: Visit http://blockchain.liberland.org. Navigate to Voting: Go to the Voting/Referenda section. Select Referendum: Choose the referendum you wish to vote on. Cast Vote Ignore Voting Weight Prompt: The system will prompt about voting weight, which can be ignored. Vote Update: If you change your mind, you can update your vote for the cost of a transaction (a few cents).  Duration Each referendum lasts for 7 days After voting concludes, there is an additional 7-day period to prepare for enactment.  Vote Counting Votes are tallied based on politically pooled LLM, not headcount. The tally method depends on whether the Referendum was proposed by a Citizen or by Congress. Citizen referenda require a variable threshold for acceptance depending on how many LLM have been cast. Where all would be cast, the threshold would be 50 percent plus one LLM. Congress referenda all require exactly 50 percent plus one LLM cast to be adopted. Unpooling LLM takes time, indicating a commitment to Liberland.  Proposing a Meritocratic Referendum Any Citizen can propose a referendum. Higher acceptance thresholds prevent ad hoc populist measures. For a smoother process, ask a Member of Congress to propose on your behalf. Democratic Veto Purpose A Democratic Veto removes legislative measures or officials from office, showcasing a "headcount" democracy with free and equal elections.  Types of Democratic Veto Public Veto: Removes any legislative measure (laws, regulations, etc.) enacted by the Government. Dismissal: Removes any official or agent (employee) from office.  Voting Process Access Voting Platform: Visit http://blockchain.liberland.org. Navigate to Legislation: Choose a type (e.g., Law, International Treaty) from the top menu. Show Section: Find the section you wish to veto. Cast Veto: Click "Cast Veto".  Vote Counting The referendum remains active indefinitely. The AYE (repeal, dismiss) side wins only when 50 percent plus one voter (not LLM) votes for it. Until the threshold is reached, the referendum remains in force. Congress In Liberland, representative democracy finds its center in the Congress. This vital organ of voluntary representation plays a crucial role in shaping the legislative landscape and ensuring that the voices of citizens are heard and respected. Here’s an in-depth look at the powers and functions of Congress, and how you can actively participate in this dynamic political system. Powers of the Congress Legislative Proposals Congress is empowered to make legislative proposals, providing a streamlined path for these proposals through the referendum process. Proposals from Congress have a higher chance of passing, requiring just 50 percent plus one vote (LLM) cast for AYE. Special Legislative Proposals Certain legislative actions, such as Constitutional Amendments and specific International Treaty Ratifications, must originate from Congress. Individual citizens cannot propose these changes, highlighting the unique responsibilities and powers vested in Congress. Delegation of Referendum Votes Citizens who prefer not to vote on every issue or who trust their Member of Congress can voluntarily delegate their referendum votes to their chosen representative. This delegation underscores the trust and responsibility placed in Congress members. Budget Management Congress handles the critical task of dealing with budgets, ensuring that financial resources are allocated efficiently and effectively to support the nation’s needs and goals. Executive Appointments Congress appoints the Cabinet, the supreme executive organ of Liberland. Until the Cabinet is appointed, Congress uses its decision-making powers to fulfill executive functions. Congress Elections Congress elections take place every three months. The point is to keep Congress up to date with popular preferences. Elections take place on the blockchain. Where one does not vote but has voted before, their past vote carries through to the next election. Participating in the voting process is straightforward and essential for maintaining a vibrant democracy. Here’s how you can cast your vote: Onboard: Ensure you are onboarded as a citizen. Access the Voting Platform: Visit blockchain.liberland.org. Navigate to Voting: Select “Voting” from the menu on the left. Choose Your Candidates: Rank your candidates by preference (e.g., number 1, number 2, etc.). Update Your Vote: Click on “Update Vote” and sign the transaction with your wallet. With Liberland's tiered voting system, your vote remains impactful even if your top choice doesn’t win. Your vote will automatically transfer to your next choice, ensuring that your preferences are always considered. This is how it works in detail (using the Phragmen algorithm): Voting Process: Voters mark the candidates they approve of on their ballots. Initial Setup: Each ballot starts with zero votes. This we call “load”. Thus the initial load is zero. Determining the Winner: For each candidate, calculate the average (mean) load of the ballots that support them. The candidate with the lowest average load among their supporters wins the next available seat. Updating Ballot Loads: Calculate the number of ballots (n) that approved the winning candidate. Add 1/n to the load of each of these ballots. Ensure that the loads of all ballots supporting the winning candidate are equal by averaging them out. Repeat or End: If there are more seats to fill, repeat from step 3. If all seats are filled, the selection process ends. Becoming a Candidate Interested in taking a more active role in Liberland’s democracy? Becoming a candidate is simple: Visit the Platform: Go to blockchain.liberland.org. Select Congress: Choose the “Congress” section. Apply: Click the button to apply and sign the transaction. Meet the Candidates! To learn more about the individuals running for Congress, visit our official YouTube Channel. There, you can watch promotional videos of some of our most prominent candidates. While these clips are published by the official channel, it’s important to note that there is no official endorsement of any candidates—the decision is left to the popular vote. Cabinet In Liberland, the Cabinet plays a pivotal role in the governance of the nation, providing stable and consistent executive leadership. While Congress reflects popular preferences and adapts to changing public sentiments, the Cabinet is designed to ensure coherent and steadfast executive authority. Let's delve into the structure, roles, and powers of the Cabinet in Liberland. The Structure of the Cabinet The Prime Minister At the helm of the Cabinet is the Prime Minister, the head of the Government. This role effectively replaces the President's position in the current Liberland Provisional Government system. As the primary executive authority, the Prime Minister oversees the entire Cabinet's functioning and ensures the smooth execution of governmental policies. The Ministers Supporting the Prime Minister are four key ministers, each responsible for a specific domain: Minister of Finance Minister of Interior Minister of Foreign Affairs Minister of Justice These ministries form the core executive branches of Liberland, essential for the nation's administration and governance. According to the current Constitution, these are the only ministries unless future constitutional amendments dictate otherwise. The Role and Power of the Cabinet Centralised Executive Power All executive power in Liberland is centralised within the Cabinet, which holds the final say in all executive matters. This centralisation ensures that decisions are consistent and align with the nation's overall governance strategy. Agencies and Their Governance Apart from the ministries, various executive organs known as Agencies must be established by Law, ensuring Congress maintains oversight over the Executive branch. Each Agency falls under the jurisdiction of one of the four ministries, with the head of each Agency directly subordinate to the respective Minister. Regulatory Authority Internal Regulations The Cabinet and its Agencies manage executive matters through regulations. Internal regulations apply only within the Agencies, streamlining operations and maintaining order within the executive branches. Public Regulations The Executive can also issue regulations affecting all Citizens and residents of Liberland. However, this authority is bound by the principle that only the Law can establish rights and obligations for those outside the service of an Agency. Therefore, any regulations impacting the general public must be within the scope of an existing law, explaining or implementing a specific article of that law. These regulations can never exceed the law's scope, ensuring executive power remains checked and balanced. Senate An Overview In the unique political landscape of Liberland, the Senate stands out as a distinct and powerful entity. Unlike conventional governmental bodies, the Senate is not a part of the government but functions as an independent watchdog, serving as the supreme organ of oversight within the State of Liberland. Composition and Role The Senate is composed of shareholders of the Sovereign Fund of Liberland. These are typically individuals who have significantly contributed to the nation during its formative years, often investing their personal fortunes to support Liberland's development. This substantial commitment grants them extraordinary powers, akin to elements of corporate governance that balance the prevalent meritocratic, Swiss-like republicanism of Liberland. Powers and Functions Although the Senate does not possess legislative powers, its authority to veto legislative bills is a crucial check on the government. Additionally, the Senate can nullify any Decree, Edict, or Decision made by the Congress, including sub-legal regulations. This power ensures that the Senate can prevent or reverse decisions that may not align with the broader interests of Liberland. Financial Oversight One of the Senate's key responsibilities is overseeing the budget and financial transactions of the state. This oversight is conducted through the Liberland Blockchain, ensuring transparency and accountability in all financial matters. By maintaining strict control over the state’s finances, the Senate plays a vital role in safeguarding the economic stability of Liberland. Electing the President The Senate also holds the important task of electing the President of Liberland. The President, as the head of state, represents Liberland on the international stage and is the primary international representative. The President also bestows distinctions, such as the Order of Merit, recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions to the nation. Emergency Powers In times of emergency, the President can assume extraordinary powers, acting as if they were the owner of the country, provided the government agrees through a special referendum. Furthermore, should the nation face danger, the President will lead the Territorial Defense Force, ensuring the safety and security of Liberland. Get Involved Are you a Citizen but not onboarded yet?

Samuela Davidova, Liberland's Press Secretary, recently attended and spoke on the Blockchain Expo World conference in Turkey, where she engaged with over 20,000 attendees. Her speech highlighted Liberland's innovative use of blockchain in governance, signalling a commitment to international collaboration and setting the stage for future partnerships in Turkey's blockchain and educational sectors. During the conference, Samuela met with representatives from BingX, a prominent crypto exchange, which generously contributed summer seating to Liberland, fostering potential collaborations. She also connected with the IAU Blockchain and IoT Club Turkey, engaging in discussions about future educational initiatives to introduce students to Liberland's vision. Furthermore, Samuela established relationships with the Web3 Hub Cas focused on the Network States initiatives, GCB (Global Commercial Business), and XT crypto exchange, laying foundations for future cooperative efforts. Her visit also strengthened ties with local supporters in Turkey, continuing the momentum from President Vít Jedlička's visit during Turkey's National Day in October 2023. President Jedlička looks forward to further enhancing the relationship between Liberland and Turkey, driven by shared values of prosperity and innovation.

You might already be aware, or perhaps this is new to you, but either way, it's worth diving into: In Liberland, the primary method for enacting any decision or legislation is through a referendum of all citizens. The Referendum System in Liberland Liberland's referenda are rooted in our draft Constitution and Referendum Law. These documents are currently considered "drafts" because they will only gain legal force once adopted in a future referendum. However, we are already using them to build essential infrastructure, such as the Liberland Blockchain. We have two types of referenda: the powerful positive referendum and the auxiliary negative referendum. Meritocratic Referendum A meritocratic referendum is used to adopt, reject, or modify any law, regulation, or government decision. Here’s how it works: Who can vote? All citizens who have at least 5000 politically pooled Liberland merits (LLM) can participate. How to vote: Be an onboarded citizen. Visit blockchain.liberland.org. Navigate to "Voting/Referenda". Select the referendum and vote "Aye" (yes) or "Nay" (no). Ignore the prompt about voting weight. Congratulations! You’ve just voted in a meritocratic Liberland referendum. If you change your mind, you can vote again. For the price of a transaction (a few cents), your vote will be updated. You can participate in multiple referenda simultaneously. Each referendum lasts for 7 days, after which votes are tallied. The measure remains pending for another 7 days to prepare Liberland for enactment. Meritocratic Referendum can also be about repealing or amending laws or regulations. It proposes, “posits”, changes. Vote Counting: Votes are tallied based on politically pooled LLM, not headcount. Since unpooling LLM takes time, holding them shows your commitment to Liberland. Citizen referenda require a variable threshold for acceptance depending on how many LLM have been cast. Where all would be cast, the threshold would be 50 per cent plus one LLM. Congress referenda all require exactly 50 per cent plus one LLM cast to be adopted. Proposing a meritocratic referendum: Any citizen can propose a referendum, but it will face a higher acceptance threshold to prevent ad hoc populist measures. For a smoother process, ask your Member of Congress to propose it on your behalf. Democratic Veto Why have a democratic veto when a meritocratic referendum can do almost everything? The key difference lies in its process and purpose. For international political reasons, we must demonstrate a "headcount" democracy with free and equal elections. Since real political power in Liberland rests with referenda, we need headcount referenda for certain actions. Types of Democratic Veto: Public Veto: Removes any legislative measure (laws, regulations, etc.) enacted by the Government. Dismissal: Removes any official or agent (employee) from office. As the name suggests, a democratic veto is about removing something or someone from office. How to vote: Go to blockchain.liberland.org Click on "Legislation". Choose a type (in the top menu); e.g. Law, International Treaty. Show section. Find the section you want to veto. Click “Cast Veto”. Tallying the vote: The referendum remains active indefinitely. The Aye (repeal, dismiss) side wins only when 50 per cent plus one voter (not LLM) vote for it. The Nay side never "wins", it is happy for as long as the legislation remains in effect. Until this threshold is reached, the referendum remains in force. Get Involved! Are you a citizen but not onboarded yet? Please onboard today! Not a citizen yet but wishing to become one?

Today, at 01:45 CET, Liberland's Test Congress Election results were tallied. The first blockchain election system was, for the first time, in full operation, ensuring election results were final and immutable.  The process was algorithmic (decided on a few simple rules), and thus, absolutely transparent. This system is uniquely able to remove doubt from election results, which we see occurring in many countries that are still resorting to traditional means. We hope to be the first pioneer of what will soon become common practice. Liberland Test Congress Elections result in the re-election of the current Congress plus the addition of three new names. These are new to Congress but certainly not new to Liberland. The absolute winner of this election is an incumbent Congress member and Liberland’s tech lead Dorian Stern Vukotić, who has become the “Prime Member”, or the Speaker, of the Congress. Where a Congressperson remains silent, they will automatically follow the vote of the Speaker.

By taking these steps outlined in this letter to Croatian officials, Croatia and Liberland can begin to build a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship that respects both parties' interests and fosters long-term collaboration.  Liberland offers to bring international capital, jobs, and the attention of the entire Western world to the Osijek-Baranja region—something we alone are positioned to do. We have a truly global audience and a unique selling point. To Whom It May Concern: Croatia is our most important international partner. We seek to close any tensions between the Liberland community and Croatian authorities. This is a unique moment where those who have the necessary historical insight can resolve the situation at hand, which I suggest we do. We would first like to thank the police for their humane stance towards us and their professionalism, as evidenced by the fact that through all those years and now months of active settlement, with no serious injuries or loss of life. This is, in my opinion, a great basis for further improvement of relations, which is the object of this letter. As we’ve observed some friction with law enforcement within the territory of Croatia, my intention is to ensure this stops. However, these issues often stem not from any malicious intent, but from individuals being forced into impossible situations by a well-documented campaign of suppression mainly operated by the Border Police. Surely this is as burdensome for the hard-working officers of the Border Police as it is for us. We have observed the pattern in which our people are being targeted. Consequently, the actions they are often forced into appear on expulsion orders and misdemeanour charges. This pattern of backing individuals into a corner, provoking them into unintended actions and then portraying them as offenders constitutes “defamation.”  Most of these cases remain unadjudicated, with no fewer than twelve being dropped. Yet, the supposed misdemeanours attributed to “Liberland” continue to increase in police logs. It seems the presumption of innocence is a concept lost on PGP Beli Manastir and also the concept of individual responsibility for misdemeanours: all get lumped under collective punishment with no possibility of exculpation. We must point out that our community is also targeted by Hrvatské Šume d.o.o. (the state-owned forest company), which has repeatedly stolen or destroyed the belongings of the members of our community, often assisted by the police.  For most of Liberland’s existence since 2015, the area was closed for no discernible reason. That it was only Croatia’s entry into Schengen and the physical abuse of a YouTuber (Niko Omilana) and his friend that put it into the spotlight and requiring more transparency. In any case, we are now in the land. Our people are at the mercy of Croatian authorities, and their daily question is, “What trickery will the Border Police visit upon us today?” They have a long history of reasons to be concerned: On 21 and 22 September, a nascent, well-functioning settlement was dismantled by Hrvatské Šume, d.o.o., in an act of mass robbery, larceny, and mayhem. It is clear that Šume has no jurisdiction there, as there is no legal basis for their presence. It’s not even on their maps. They occupy the area as if they own it. Šume abuses the provisions of the Croatian Law on Forestry regarding cleaning trash to cover up stealing private and actively used property. Solar panels, quads, an entire functioning kitchen, and personal effects were taken from those who pleaded with you to desist. Hardly trash, don’t you think? We filed a criminal report, and charges will be pressed to ensure the return of the goods and effect restitution. A number of EU citizens have been expelled on the grounds of being a “threat” to national security. This is usually reserved for the most serious of criminals, but has been used against us, when none of these persons are a threat of any kind. The actual basis for these expulsions is a report classified as secret, which the accused weren’t allowed to read or examine; they had no way to properly defend themselves against these charges. This lacks transparency and undermines the fundamental principles of justice and fairness we all value. The settlement on Liberty Island, before the flood, was visited by multiple inspectors from Croatia demanding permissions, ordering cessation of camping, etc. The inspectors’ jurisdiction is generally limited by the borders of municipalities. Liberland is not within a Croatian municipality, so there is no place to ask for such permissions and no jurisdiction to demand them, as would be the case in Croatia. Many such cases were filed and later used on expulsion orders (the number of “active misdemeanours” jumped from 90 to 120, an impossible number since, as stated above, all those individuals are innocent until proven guilty). About half of the inspector-originated cases have been dropped so far, indicating our approach is correct. To survive the winter, which was very challenging, we utilized the houseboat Swan. The Border Police were even surprised by our resilience and dedication. The majority of their interactions were professional, courteous and cordial. Šume later took the Swan. Our captain of the boat Freedom was also harassed senselessly. The Freedom was detained and sent to Vukovar for a needless inspection. The settler’s captain’s license was confiscated, he was made to jump through administrative hoops, intimidated, and then all was returned. This was another completely needless activity on the part of Croatian officials just to cause us difficulty. On February 14, the Swan was taken from us by Šume. This was not the most shining moment for the border policemen, as they acted like street ruffians rather than guardians of order. They forced our settlers not to even film the event as their home was taken from them along with their personal effects, including a piano. How an inhabited houseboat with solar panels, a heater, sleeping bags, and provisions can be considered trash, I have no idea. We would like to make our intentions clearer: we are here to build a good community, not to litter the forest ground. To that end, we have started building using bricks. Using bricks seems to be a line even Šume is unwilling to cross, as we all agree these are not trash. We are pleased about that; let the bricks be a literal foundation for our good relations. However, they continue to confiscate other items like tents, provisions, tools, phone chargers and building materials. Recently, we encountered the most absurd misdemeanour charge yet. A settler who stood firm and defended our flagpole was accused of “entering the personal space of a forest worker” (by simply standing and holding on to the pole?). Later, when another forest worker tried to run him over with a tractor, damaging his bike, the settler was accused of “making erratic moves most brazenly,” while the intentional destruction of his bike was described as “placing the bike in the way of the tractor to hinder the forest worker in the performance of his duties.” The official English translation from you only stated that the settler was ordered to pay a fine without any reason given. The latest suppression takes place on the roads, where we are increasingly hindered from using normal means of transportation. In response, we have employed more novel approaches, such as self-made carriages, which the Border Police then find ways to suppress. We are also experiencing an alarmingly frequent number of spot technical inspections of our cars. I trust we can all see the pattern here and the urgent need to address these irregularities. If anything, the millions of euros so far wasted on needlessly suppressing a peaceful group of people speaks for itself. We could be working together with beneficial outcomes for all. We can operate normally and live together in peace. I assure you, on behalf of all Liberland, that our intention is not, nor has it ever been, to take any land away from Croatia. Currently, our nascent community has laws in place that grant Croatian citizens—and exclusively Croatian citizens, not citizens of any other countries on this or the other side of the Danube—special rights to enter, exit, and reside at will, to own real estate and other forms of property. We, of course, patterned this on Schengen rules and the Four Freedoms of the European Union.  We are willing to include Croatian as an official language besides English and not to dispute the operation of law enforcement while entering our territory, as if they were in Croatia. We are prepared to take additional steps to ensure a fruitful and long-lasting partnership, perhaps similar to the relationship between France and Monaco, particularly regarding tax treatment and other fiscal issues. In this way, we set up a Western-aligned, peaceful and family-friendly community of enterprising individuals at your doorstep and compliant with the law.  Some concrete steps to take at this point: We would like to land boats in Liberland at a spot where the police would have full oversight and pending our prior registration of the boat and the captain with the responsible organs (Border Police or the Harbor Master). Permit us to register vehicles and crews, as well as cargo as being local to the area and necessary to the residents, and thereby allow us to enter and exit Liberland using the road from Zmajevac-Batina. Help stop the raids and the “trash cleaning operations” and instead, facilitate dialogue with Šume. We can ensure we stay out of the way when they need to perform their duties and make sure the trees and natural resources are protected to the highest degree. When we see that this works, we will ensure no charges are pressed against Šume for their past activities against us. Please allow routine movement in and out of the land of persons who register themselves with the Border Police as settlers and visitors so that we can dispose of trash ecologically, bring in necessary supplies, and start a small economy, which we then expand to benefit the entire region. Permit us to build basic infrastructure and homes where this does not disturb any legitimate parties, and allow us to have our colours fly alongside Croatian colours. Remove the bans on all EU citizens who have been forced out of Croatia due to their interest in Liberland, and stop banning non-EU citizens such as Americans, British and Canadians - countries that are Croatia’s friends and allies. We will ensure that non-EU citizens who come comply with Croatian law and, notably, will not stay longer than they would be permitted to stay in Croatia. We will, in turn, drop legal suits related to this matter and forgive whatever past expulsions might have taken place. Please let this return of our exiled be the first sign of the normalization of our relations. By taking these steps, we can begin to build a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship that respects both parties' interests and fosters long-term collaboration.  We offer to bring international capital, jobs, and the attention of the entire Western world to Osijek-Baranja—something we alone are positioned to do. We have a truly global audience and a unique selling point. We could resolve the international dispute for Croatia in an elegant fashion, allowing the land to be fully and completely accessible to you without making any unreasonable concessions to other countries. As we end this letter, we are thankful for Croatia granting de facto recognition to Liberland as a ‘parastate’. I know that this was likely not meant as a compliment. However, we do appraise it for the commonly understood meaning of the word - a state fulfilling the necessary functions of a country, in fact, but lacking recognition. It is our aim to prove to Croatia why we are worthy of the privilege of recognition in due course. We are also thankful that Croatia has allowed us to grow to the extent we have in the last couple of months, despite the setbacks. We learn and implement what we have been taught by our neighbours, and strive for order, peace and good relations..  We are going to run our first elections this or early next year, becoming ever-closer to the ideals which we all hold dear. Our community is growing and organizing itself well and in innovative ways. We hope this will generate enough positive response in especially the entrepreneurial community to quickly become a great benefit to the region's economy. Let us leverage our respective positions to create a solution that benefits both parties. If you feel you are not the appropriate authority to decide this matter, we kindly ask you to connect us with the branches of the Croatian government or administration that possess such power. We have been attempting to do so for the past ten months without success. Nevertheless, we will persist until this solution, ensuring our mutual prosperity, becomes a reality. Yours sincerely, Vít Jedlička

Liberland gives its highest state award to three distinguished individuals for their contributions to liberty. ARK Village, Liberland – 16 April 2024 – During the 9th Anniversary celebration at ARK Village on 13th April, Liberland proudly conferred its highest state award, the First Class Merit, upon three exceptional individuals. Finance Minister Navid Saberin and Foreign Minister Thomas D. Walls, alongside Liberland President Vít Jedlička, presented the awards to Pol Victoria, author of the bestseller "El Manifesto Austolibertario"; Dirk Wagner, a leading figure in the Free Private Cities movement in Germany; and Bernie de Haldevang, recognized for his achievements in the insurance industry. Expressing his pride in the honourees, Vít Jedlička, Liberland President, remarked, "I am very proud to have such gentlemen with us on our noble mission. Their unwavering dedication and remarkable accomplishments serve as an inspiration to all who cherish the values of liberty and individual autonomy." The First Class Merit is the highest honour that the nation of Liberland can bestow upon individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation, and dedication to the cause of liberty. Past recipients of this prestigious award include notable figures such as MEP Daniel Hannan, Congressman Ron Paul, and publisher and author Steve Forbes.

In a world eager for new stories of nation-building and sovereignty, the recent Sunday Times article shed light on an intriguing venture: Liberland. In a world eager for new stories of nation-building and sovereignty, the recent Sunday Times article shed light on an intriguing venture: Liberland. This new nation, nestled by the Danube and championed by its President, Vít Jedlička, has stirred discussions and captured imaginations. The Sunday Times' journey alongside President Jedlička into the heart of Liberland has drawn attention to what might be the blueprint for a country that truly belongs to the 21st century. Liberland salutes the Sunday Times for highlighting its aspirations and achievements. The article, celebrating the settlement's vision and the welcoming of around 200 tourists, reflects the growing interest in this nascent state. However, Liberland wishes to address certain aspects of the report, advocating for a discourse rooted in accuracy and openness. At the heart of Liberland's rebuttal is the clarification of its foundational principles. Any notion of Liberland as a tax haven for ill-gotten gains or a sanctuary for criminal activities is a misunderstanding that the country vehemently disputes. Liberland is laying the groundwork for a society that adheres strictly to the rule of law, with systems of transparency and accountability already in motion. Liberland's ambition is to forge bilateral relations with neighbouring countries, ensuring they view Liberland as a trusted and lawful neighbour, especially from financial, anti-money laundering, and tax law perspectives. While it is true that Croatia does not recognize Liberland diplomatically, official documents have referred to Liberland as a “parastate” - which is defined as "institution or body which takes on some of the roles of civil government." This is a significant evolution from being hand-waved away as a “joke” or claiming we do not exist at all. Another point of contention in the Sunday Times article is the statement regarding President Vít Jedlička's ability to enter Liberland. President Jedlička has entered Liberland several times and has personally hosted many international visitors. To be clear, Croatian police issued an entry ban of two Liberland officials - including the President - and two settlement coordinators after the settlement began (presumably to hinder our leadership structure, not because of any individual act or violation), and these bans are being challenged in Croatian court. Visitor data collected from Liberland’s border control system, hosted at border.liberland.org, has been shared with the Croatian Border Police, marking a significant step towards mutual trust and understanding. While difficulties with Croatian authorities remain, we are committed to cooperation and peaceful coexistence with Croatia. There is a brief summary of Liberland’s foreign relations. While Liberland does have relationships with the countries mentioned, Ethiopia is not one of them. That said, we would welcome the opening of dialogue and relations with the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, which has taken steps to recognize our friends in the Republic of Somaliland. The article also states “Foreign currency is worthless there.” This is untrue. Although Liberland encourages its people to use Liberland currency, the Liberland dollar (LLD) and Liberland merit (LLM), individuals can use any currency they wish in Liberland, as long as both parties to a transaction agree to it.  Liberland's response is more than a correction of facts; it's an affirmation of its commitment to building a nation based on trust, cooperation and international recognition. The country stands firm in its journey towards sovereignty, aiming to establish the national homeland of all freedom-loving people. We are here to stay and look forward to more journalistic engagement in the near future.

Liberland has successfully weathered its first winter. We celebrated our first Christmas and first New Year's in Liberland itself. Despite the challenges posed by the weather and opposition from those who misunderstand our intentions, we have persevered. Our goal has always been clear: to build the world’s freest country. And thereby drawing international attention, attracting tourists, and creating job opportunities in the region. Liberland has successfully weathered its first winter. We celebrated our first Christmas and first New Year's in Liberland itself. Despite the challenges posed by the weather and opposition from those who misunderstand our intentions, we have persevered. Our goal has always been clear: to build the world’s freest country. And thereby drawing international attention, attracting tourists, and creating job opportunities in the region. On 28 March 2024, we celebrated a big milestone: After dedicating a month for preparation, we inaugurated the Jefferson Square construction site. This event marked the beginning of the construction of what we currently refer to as City Hall. This building will be the government hub, but currently, it will serve multiple functions: it's designed to meet the comprehensive needs of our settlers as they lay the foundations for their homes and enterprises in this new country. Our plans include engaging with the local community extensively. We aim to offer employment opportunities in various capacities, ranging from construction facilitated by professional firms to administrative, managerial, and service-oriented roles. It's important to us that the people of Croatia feel welcomed in Liberland. Indeed, under Liberland law, they will have the opportunity to enter and exit freely without any formalities, own property, and contribute to the growth of Liberland, just as its citizens can. With the construction of City Hall underway, our focus will shift towards providing essential services to the community and developing a beach resort. This resort will not only showcase the scenic beauty of our coastline but will also be a place for relaxation and enjoyment for both locals and visitors. Moreover, it will be built in the spirit of responsible tourism, underscoring our commitment to preserving and celebrating the natural heritage of Liberland. The promise to bring in more tourists and international visitors is certainly not an empty one, as proven the day after by the arrival of the "Train into the Unknown" delegation. This is an initiative that introduces travellers to unique destinations around the world. We were honoured to be selected as one of this year's stops, bringing around 200 people to explore Liberland itself. Upon their arrival, the visitors received a warm welcome in true Liberland fashion from our President and local settlers. This included a delightful lunch and welcome drinks, with vegetarian options also available. The guests had the opportunity to tour the key attractions in the northwestern part of Liberland, such as the Marina and Thomas Jefferson Square, where the new City Hall is under construction. They were treated to the splendid natural beauty of Liberland in spring, which we are dedicated to preserving even as our community grows into a full-fledged city. Multiple visitors reported really enjoying the experience. One said, “I didn’t know that such places still exist, and so close to home!” Another stated, “The food and the hospitality of the settlers were excellent, despite the conditions they live in. Everyone was cheerful and optimistic—I wish to return as soon as possible!” If this visitor’s wish is also yours, then we have good news for you. On the 13th of April, the anniversary celebration of Liberland’s founding will be held in Liberland. This event offers a chance for more people to contribute to our community, with potential citizenship as a token of appreciation for significant contributions. For more information or to apply, please contact us at [email protected]. We also extend our gratitude to the Croatian police for their cooperation and efficiency, ensuring a smooth and welcoming entry process for our guests, facilitated by our border intake application at border.liberland.org. This positive interaction is a step forward in fostering a modern and effective border management experience as envisioned by Liberland. Looking ahead, Liberland aims to open its doors to the world further. Plans are underway to establish a regular night train service from Prague, enhancing accessibility to Liberland and showcasing the beauty and potential of the Osijek-Baranja region. This weekend's events mark the beginning of what we hope will be many more opportunities for visitors to experience Liberland's unique offerings.

Imagine a Croatian policeman trying to give you a parking ticket in Serbia or in some other country where they have no power. That's the kind of situation we're looking at here. Another significant legal obstacle is the imposition of entry bans on non-EU citizens. Liberland settlers have been facing some tough challenges lately.  These folks have big dreams and are peaceful, friendly, and law-abiding. They want to create jobs, bring in more services, and invest money in the area. Their goal is to make the entire Osijek-Baranja region thrive. But the welcome they've gotten from the police hasn't been warm or supportive. A number of problems have come up. And it's important to say that our settlers are taking these problems very seriously, working together with lawyers in Croatia and taking every legal remedy available to them. Still, It's not just one or two small problems. There's a big issue with how the Croatian police are treating them. This isn't what you'd expect in a country where laws are supposed to be followed and respected. Misdemeanours Trying to make Liberland a successful and independent place has hit a big legal wall: lots of misdemeanour accusations. These are minor legal troubles, like setting up camp where it's not allowed, digging in a flood plain or supposedly landing a boat in the wrong place, adding up to about 40 cases so far in Liberland.  The main problem is where these issues are happening: Liberland. This area, the focus of all their hard work, isn't supposed to be under Croatian police control. Imagine a Croatian officer trying to give you a parking ticket in Serbia or in some other country where they have no power. That's the kind of situation we're looking at here. For those who think they've been wrongly accused, there's a way to fight back by challenging these misdemeanour charges. This has been the approach for every case. It's important to remember that according to the law if you challenge a charge, you're considered innocent until the final decision is made. So far, none of the Liberland cases have been resolved, leaving everyone involved stuck in limbo but still officially innocent. This idea that you're innocent until proven guilty is a necessity if a country wants to call itself respecting the rule of law. The situation with Liberland puts this principle to the test. It shows how much we need a fair legal system that respects where borders are and protects people's rights - how much Liberland itself, which promises all this and more, is necessary if this can happen in a modern EU country. And this is, sadly, not all we have to report here. Banning Non-EU citizens The pursuit of establishing and developing Liberland encounters another significant legal obstacle, impacting non-EU citizens through the imposition of entry bans. These bans, applied under Article 56, paragraph 1 of the Law on Foreigners 133/20, cite the absence of valid reasons for staying in Croatia. However, this justification raises questions, especially when those affected present themselves as tourists or visitors without any undisclosed motives. The basis for this is that nearly "90 misdemeanours" are supposedly associated with activities in Liberland. However, this figure is not only false (way too high) but overlooks a critical aspect of the legal process: the objected misdemeanours are still under the presumption of innocence until a final verdict is reached. Croatian authorities are systematically ignoring this foundational rule of law principle. Moreover, non-EU individuals found in the vicinity of Liberland are being preemptively judged for intentions to commit misdemeanours, such as starting a fire or illegal camping, even in cases where no evidence, like camping gear, supports such intentions. This approach hints at a "pre-crime" strategy, where predictions of future offences lead to repressive measures even though the person did nothing wrong. This has also not been an occasional oversight, but thus far, no less than twelve non-EU citizens have been treated in this manner. This predictive punishment model not only strays from the essence of modern legal systems but also challenges the principles of justice and fairness. In a rule-of-law system, actions and intentions must be clearly defined and proven before any legal penalties can be imposed. We see that the non-EU people are most consistently affected because they are at the mercy of Croatia and have little practical international protection. They are, however, not the only ones to experience “guilty until proven innocent” in Osijek-Baranja. Banning EU citizens EU laws aim to create a uniform legal system across its member states, particularly in the treatment of foreign nationals. Among these laws, the Law on EU Citizens (66/19) stands out for providing significant protections and legal options for individuals, including ways to delay or contest decisions affecting their stay or potential entry bans. Yet, amidst these protections, Article 46, paragraph 7 of this law poses a stringent challenge. This part of the law, which is intended for handling severe criminal threats linked to activities like organized crime, terrorism, or drug trafficking, allows for swift and harsh measures. It essentially flips the standard legal presumption on its head, operating on a "guilty until proven innocent" basis in situations deemed critically dangerous to public safety and security. Activating this provision isn't straightforward. It requires solid evidence, typically a report from the Security Service about the person of interest. For Liberland, such a report exists but is a state secret, its contents unknown to those without a certain Croatian security clearance. Hence, the report is used in the process, but the accused can’t see its content!  This secrecy has led to the arrest and deportation of four individuals closely connected to Liberland, without them even being able to examine the evidence and know what exactly they did wrong that warranted their extreme sanction - deportation from Croatia for many years without a reasonably fast recourse. This has so far been the fate of four EU citizens: two government officials and two settlement coordinators. This reliance on Article 46, paragraph 7, and the secrecy surrounding the Security Service report brings up several pressing concerns: The application of extremely severe legal measures based on a presumption of guilt The use of confidential and secret documents to justify actions against individuals effectively leaving them defenceless and uninformed about the accusations they face The abrupt and unexpected nature of arrests and the imposition of long-term bans lasting up to five years These issues highlight a significant tension between the goals of public safety and the foundational principles of justice and individual rights. The current approach questions the balance of fairness, transparency and the right to contest legal actions. Exemplary Punishment Exemplary punishment is a hot topic in the world of law. It's when the punishment for wrongdoing is much harsher than what seems fair for the act itself. The main point of this tough approach isn't just to scold the person who did wrong but to send a strong message to everyone else. While some places allow this kind of harsh punishment, it's usually saved for really bold, dangerous, or harmful actions. Besides those EU citizens banned, which can certainly be called exemplary punishment, there were other cases where this was clearly applied. For example, one person from Liberland made a rude gesture at a camera by mistake, not knowing it was a police camera. Another person got into a heated talk with a police officer. Both times, these things happened in places where Croatian laws about misdemeanours shouldn't even apply.  The process was started very quickly, in stark contrast to how long our people have to wait to defend themselves from the false accusation described above or to make claims of criminal activity of those who objectively cause them harm. The person who made the rude gesture was accused of doing something really bad as if they had attacked the very heart of civil society. This seems way too extreme for just a rude hand signal. In both of these cases, the people in charge went for the harshest punishments possible, including banning these individuals from Liberland - 3000 euros, in one case for a middle finger shown at a camera, in another, a verbal argument.  This use of exemplary punishment raises big questions. Is it fair? Is it right to use such severe penalties for small missteps, especially when these actions happen outside of where Croatian laws about misdemeanours should even apply? These harsh reactions seem to be more about making an example out of people than fitting the punishment to what was actually done wrong.  Croatian Forestry The journey towards establishing Liberland continues to face significant hurdles, not just from legal and bureaucratic challenges but also from unexpected quarters such as the Croatian forestry department (Hrvatske šume). Despite having no rightful jurisdiction in the area, their actions have significantly impacted the settlers and representatives of Liberland. The most notable incidents include the unauthorized removal of a houseboat and the illegal raid and destruction of the initial settlement. These actions go beyond the realm of legal disputes, venturing into what can only be described as acts of unwarranted aggression and appropriation. Improving Relations Lately, we have seen that the Croatian police and other organs have not only been more civil and very professional but also no cases of the above have been reported within the last month. This may be significant. We are closely monitoring the situation and, of course, continue pursuing legal actions under Croatian Law for what had happened prior; still, if there is a way to start a completely new page of our relationship, one based on mutual trust and respect, we are wholly committed to making it happen, including giving up on grievances of the past. In Liberland, we always look towards the future and what we can build together in this beautiful land. Going through all this, the people trying to make Liberland happen are really showing how tough and determined they are. They've run into all kinds of roadblocks, but they're not giving up. Instead of being pushed away by these challenges, they're standing strong. Our people believe in what they're trying to do, and they're sticking with it. We’re all hoping that someday, everyone will see what they're about and respect their efforts and goals. We can then cooperate to make the region a better, more prosperous place.

Since late September 2023, the people of Liberland have been facing a tough time. Hrvatske Šume d.o.o., a state-owned company, has been coming into our area, claiming they're cleaning up trash. Since late September 2023, the people of Liberland have been facing a tough time. Hrvatske Šume d.o.o., a state-owned company, has been coming into our area, claiming they're cleaning up trash.  But what they call "trash" is actually our settling gear — perfectly good power generators, internet equipment, solar panels, kitchens with washing machines, and even locked bikes they broke open. They even took a whole houseboat, the Swan, from us. Croatia’s Law on Forestry, NN 68/2018, henceforth Law on Forestry, states in its Art. 45, paragraphs 3 and 4: (3) It is forbidden to dispose of waste in the forest. (4) Forest owners and other legal entities that use forests owned by the Republic of Croatia are obliged to remove waste from the forest and have the right to collect the costs incurred in connection with these activities from the person who deposited this waste in the forest and on forest land. Legal terms should be understood in their general meaning. What is waste disposal? It is the abandonment of property with the intention of never seeing it again, giving it up and letting it be. How then does Hrvatske Šume justify taking possessions that are clearly valued and guarded by their owners, even in the face of explicit objections and recorded evidence? This situation makes you wonder. How is it that Hrvatske Šume d.o.o. feels it has the right to do this? They point to a decision made by the Croatian Ministry of Agriculture, which basically says they're in charge of managing the forest area around us for ten years, starting in 2019. But if you dive into the legal documents they're using as their shield, things don't quite add up. The supposed legality of the decision to let Hrvatske Šume d.o.o. manage an area outside of Croatia is based on a spatial plan, namely the Forest Management Plan. Spatial plans are instruments described in the Croatian Spatial Planning and Construction Act, NN 153/13. This law as also the entire spatial planning is made under the important condition that “Spatial planning ensures the conditions for the use (management), protection and management of the land area (lit. prostorom, “(of) space”) of the Republic of Croatia and the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of Croatia” (exclusive economic zone is a maritime law term, not applicable on the land and the river). As to the Forest Management Plan, Art. 29 paragraph 1 of the Law on Forestry states: The Forest Management Plan (e.g. the spatial plan applicable to forests), its renewal or revision is approved by the Ministry by decision, for forests and forest lands owned by the Republic of Croatia at the proposal of a public forest owner, institution or legal entity, and for forests of private forest owners at the proposal of the Service. It is this article and paragraph (Art. 29 paragraph 1 of the Law on Forestry) to which the decision we are examining specifically refers, hence we see that, given that it is a decision of the Ministry, it is meant exclusively for Republic of Croatia-owned forests. Here's where it gets interesting: those laws say you can only make such plans for land that Croatia owns. But here's the catch—Gornja Siga, where we are in Liberland, isn't owned by Croatia. This isn't just us talking; it's a fact that's widely known and even accepted by the Republic of Croatia’s own government. You can check their own land registry online and see for yourself; Liberland-Gornja Siga isn't listed as Croatian land. Indeed, the Decision doesn’t even mention Gornja Siga by name, because that would be legally impossible. The people drafting this Decision evidently understood that mentioning it would be a legal impossibility or simply omitted it since it was clear to them that they can’t mandate management of something that Croatia doesn’t own. This detail is a game-changer because the law is clear: if Croatia doesn't own the land, then no forestry management plan should be covering it. It's like making plans for your neighbour's garden without asking them. So, any permission Hrvatske šume d.o.o. thinks it has to manage forests here in Liberland doesn't hold water legally. It's as if that permission never existed in the first place. So, what does this all mean? It means that not only is Hrvatske Šume d.o.o.'s so-called "trash removal" as such not OK—they aren’t removing disposed waste, but are stealing owned property—but their entire presence and everything they've been doing here is on shaky ground, legally speaking. They really shouldn't be here at all. We're not just going to sit back and accept this. Armed with this information, we're gearing up to challenge these actions and stand up for Liberland's rights. The road ahead might be tough, but we're committed to making sure our voice is heard and our community is protected. The quest for justice and our right to live peacefully in Liberland is just getting started.

The following is a legal commentary regarding the upcoming launch of Liberland's Advisory Politics. On 13 February 2024, an exciting milestone will be reached for Liberland as its blockchain technology debuts on Coinstore, a renowned exchange platform popular in Asia and beyond. This launch coincides with the introduction of Advisory Politics, a concept that might need a bit of unpacking for those not yet in the loop. Liberland operates under the Articles of the Provisional Government, a set of temporary rules guiding the nation until the official Constitution is adopted through a public vote, or Referendum. The Articles declare:  "§1. The Articles of the Provisional Government of the Free Republic of Liberland shall constitute the supreme law of the Free Republic of Liberland until the constitution of the Free Republic of Liberland enters into force."  Simply put, these Articles and the Provisional Government will lead Liberland until a new Constitution kicks in post-Referendum, when what we currently call the "draft Constitution" becomes the law of the land. So, when will the era of the Provisional Government come to an end?  According to "§2. The Provisional Government shall be the only body responsible for the establishment and management of the Free Republic of Liberland until the Assembly is sworn in following the first General Election."  This means that once the Constitution is in place, setting the stage for general elections, an Assembly—or Congress, as referred to in the draft Constitution—will take shape. This Assembly will have the crucial task of selecting the Cabinet, marking the transition to a regular, established government. The Provisional Government's curtain call is precisely timed, as stated: "§3. The Provisional Government shall disband once the Assembly is sworn in following the first General Election." The disbandment will occur right after the Assembly is officially in place, following the inaugural General Election. What's the road map to this significant transition?  First, the Constitution needs to be enacted and operational, detailing the electoral process, the election system, and how the Assembly can form the new Government.  The Articles remain relevant for a while even after the Constitution is enacted, ensuring a smooth power shift without leading to chaos.  The final act—the Provisional Government's tenure ending—happens once the Assembly has successfully conducted the General Election and is ready to appoint the Cabinet. But here's a twist: the first General Election won't be happening right after 13 February 2024 or for some time after that.  Why? Because the Constitution, which outlines the framework for setting up a permanent government among other things, hasn't been adopted yet. Can the Constitutional Referendum precede the General Elections? Absolutely! This highlights the beauty of Liberland's republican system, where laws, including the Constitution, are directly voted on by the citizens, not just their representatives. Such a Referendum is essential before any Assembly formation to ensure clear delineation of powers and prevent chaos or tyranny. However, there's a caveat with the upcoming elections: only those who have successfully boarded themselves onto the blockchain will be able to participate.  On its face, this approach may not seem to align with the perceived universal and equal standards set by international law, as highlighted in documents like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the Venice Commission's Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters.  What do those documents demand? Universality: General Elections should be accessible to the broadest body of citizenry possible. Will this be the case this February? No, only those who onboard themselves onto our Blockchain will be able to participate. Consequently, the upcoming elections may not meet accepted criteria for General Elections as per international and natural law, as well as the Articles of the Provisional Government. Want to accelerate the transition to a true government by the people in Liberland? Here's how you can help: create a buzz about the blockchain to ensure at least 65% of citizens are onboarded, contribute to establishing a vibrant community on the ground, and review our Constitution to facilitate its adoption as the supreme law through a Referendum. Achieving these goals will pave the way for the Provisional Government, including President Vít Jedlička, to step down. The Presidency will transition to a more symbolic role, focusing on ceremonial duties and representing Liberland internationally. The future of Liberland is a collective endeavour, aiming to pass on a stable and flourishing nation ready for this historic transition. Together, let's strive for success, ensuring Liberland stands strong and ready for the General Election and beyond.

The Sun UK recently publsihed an article about Liberland titled "ENTER THE MATRIX: How a Virtual Island in the Metaverse Became a REAL Country with Bitcoin Currency and No Rules or Taxes". This article shines a light on our growing country. While it captures Liberland's spirit of innovation, some parts need more explanation. This article is our explanation. First, it's great that English points out our digital roots and use of cryptocurrency. This is a key part of our vision. However, saying we have "no rules or taxes" is a bit too simple. Yes, Liberland values personal and economic freedom, but we also have a legal system to protect rights and responsibilities. We focus on smart governance, not on having no governance at all. On being "a REAL country", Liberland's situation is indeed special. We're working on getting recognized internationally, and we're committed to becoming a fully functioning nation, building schools, homes, and more. The article mentions the early challenges Liberland faces, like issues with neighbouring countries. These are normal for any new nation and don't imply that our idea is flawed. We're talking with our neighbours to build respect and understanding. As described in the article, President Vít Jedlička's vision is bold, but realistic. Using Bitcoin as a legal currency shows our belief in decentralized economies. This might be new (with the exception of El Salvador), but it makes sense in today's digital world. English also talks about the success of the Liberland Metaverse and our urban design, which was made with top architects and developers. It's more than a digital vision; it's the centre for the new web 3.0 industry in the making, proving our commitment to technological progress. We're proud of our growing population. Over 700,000 applicants (not 500,000 as printed) wanting a Liberland passport shows there's a worldwide interest in a new kind of government and life. Each person interested in Liberland shares our values of freedom and innovation. In summary, while English's article points out some challenges for Liberland, it also shows our achievements. As we keep building our physical and digital presence, we stay focused on our goals of freedom, innovation, and progress. Our journey shows the strength of a global community with shared ideals, and we're excited about Liberland's future.

These interactions aim to deepen understanding of Liberland’s values and mission among its citizens and supporters. Liberlanders especially appreciated the inspiring and impactful speech of Argentina's new President (and Liberland supporter) Javier Milei. Liberland remains committed to building bridges and cultivating international partnerships aligned with its principles of liberty, innovation and progress. Our presence and interactions at Davos mean that Liberland is dedicated to global collaboration based on freedom and free markets, emphasizing the nation's appeal as a hub for investment and innovation.

Liberland, 12th January 2024 – Aisland and Liberland are joining forces to deploy Docsig, a decentralized application (DApp) designed to facilitate the seamless exchange of legal agreements. This collaboration aims to leverage the potential of blockchain technology on the sovereign blockchain of Liberland, establishing Docsig as the official and legally recognized method for signing documents within the borders of Liberland. Aisland, a leading provider of cutting-edge solutions in the realm of artificial intelligence, and Liberland, the world’s youngest and freest country known for its commitment to technological innovation, have entered into a strategic cooperation agreement. The objective is to integrate Docsig into Liberland's blockchain infrastructure, offering citizens and businesses a secure and efficient platform for managing legal documents. Docsig DApp is a decentralized application built on blockchain technology. It’s mission is to leverage the security and integrity provided by the blockchain consensus mechanism in the document signing process. Making use of smart contracts, a technology that first debuted in the public consciousness in late 2020 and which enables transactions without the need to trust the counterparty, this DApp provides a transparent and tamper-proof record of legal agreements. This significantly reduces the risk of fraud to the point of practical elimination and enhances the overall trustworthiness of the documentation process. Key Features of Docsig: Decentralized Document Storage: Docsig utilizes Liberland's blockchain for secure and decentralized storage of legal documents. This eliminates the need for traditional paper-based storage methods and centralizes access to crucial information. User-Friendly Interface: Docsig is designed with a user-friendly interface, making it accessible to individuals and businesses of all technical backgrounds. The platform prioritizes simplicity without compromising on the robustness of its features. Immutable Record Keeping: Each signed document on Docsig is recorded as an immutable entry on the Liberland blockchain. This guarantees the permanence and integrity of the agreements, providing an indisputable historical record. Cross-Border Compatibility: With Liberland's commitment to embracing technological innovation, Docsig has the potential to become a cross-border solution for legal document management. Its compatibility with various jurisdictions could facilitate international trade and collaboration. The collaborative effort between Aisland and Liberland ensures that Docsig becomes the officially recognized method for signing legal documents within Liberland's borders. The Liberland government has expressed its support for the initiative, highlighting the potential for increased efficiency, reduced bureaucracy, and enhanced security in legal processes. The partnership between Aisland and Liberland to deploy Docsig marks a significant stride towards the digitization and modernization of legal processes. By harnessing the power of blockchain, the collaboration aims to provide Liberland with a state-of-the-art solution for secure and efficient legal document management. As the world continues to embrace innovative technologies, initiatives like these pave the way for the future of legal practices, fostering trust, transparency, and reliability in a rapidly evolving world.

Our brave settlers have been occupying Liberland for more than 150 days. While not without challenges from the weather, the water and Croatian government officials, they are holding strong. We had the first wedding in Liberland and celebrated the first Christmas and New Year’s in Liberland. Our diplomatic efforts continue and we ask you to be a part of pushing for Liberland’s sovereignty all over the globe. We have launched new offices in Washington, D.C., Mexico City, Buenos Aires and Belgrade. Will we be opening one near you soon? We have some ideas for turning it into a self-supporting endeavour for you, combining the roles of a business hub, co-working space and diplomatic hub in the same spot. Our plan for 2024 involves advancing on many fronts: diplomacy, pursuing our legal cases as well as complaints against Croatian authorities, approaching various international institutions, implementing our blockchain governance, getting LLM and LLD listed on exchanges, really strengthening our social media and marketing strategy and bringing in new settlers to Liberland in the spring. Let us know how you can help with any of these efforts. If you are not yet a Liberland E-Resident or citizen, you can become one right away—even with cryptocurrency. If you are interested in settling in Liberland, let us know (keep in mind this is easiest at the moment for EU and Schengen citizens, as the Croatian police unfairly target and harass people who are not).  Most importantly, keep pushing for Liberland in every way you can!

Liberland is the ideal destination, resonating profoundly with the values and aspirations of cryptocurrency maximalists. In the world of cryptocurrencies, true believers in blockchains and Web3 technology seek a haven that aligns with their belief in decentralized systems, borderless transactions, and financial sovereignty. Enter Liberland - the ideal destination, resonating profoundly with the values and aspirations of cryptocurrency maximalists. Currency Freedom and Cryptocurrency Adoption: In Liberland, e-Residents, citizens and even tourists enjoy the freedom to choose their preferred currency for transactions. This means that we, as cryptocurrency maximalists, can easily use our beloved Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum ether (ETH), or any other digital assets to pay for goods and services without the limitations imposed by conventional legal tender. Liberland's government itself accepts BTC, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and ETH alongside several fiat currencies. Absence of Central Bank and Inflation Concerns: The absence of a Liberland central bank is a boon for us as we seek full financial sovereignty. Concerns about a centralized, unelected entity adding more supply of currency and consequently fuelling inflation are alleviated. This setup aligns perfectly with our maximalist stance on fixed-supply digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, creating a more predictable and stable economic environment. Liberland's own governance and citizenship token, Liberland merits (LLM), has a fixed supply of 70 million in alignment with this stance. For more information, read about LLM tokenomics. Transparency via Public Blockchain: Transparency and accountability are foundational principles in a libertarian state such as Liberland. Here, the state's activities are conducted on a public blockchain, Liberland Blockchain, ensuring that all transactions and activities are visible and verifiable by anyone. This transparent system resonates with our fellow cryptocurrency maximalists’ strong preference for decentralized, trustless networks. Learn more about Liberland Blockchain here. Treasury Held in Bitcoin: A unique aspect of Liberland is its treasury management. Embracing the ethos of cryptocurrencies, Liberland holds a significant portion of the treasury in Bitcoin. This strategic move serves as a hedge against the devaluation or inflation of other currencies, echoing the sentiments of cryptocurrency maximalists who view BTC as a store of value. You can find Liberland’s annual financial reports here. Voluntary Taxes: Perhaps most appealing to cryptocurrency maximalists is the concept of voluntary taxes. As a citizen of Liberland, voluntary taxes allow cryptocurrency traders to buy, sell, and exchange digital assets for gains without the worry of stringent capital gains taxes. This freedom enables them to engage in the cryptocurrency market without the burden of heavy tax implications, and also for businesses to hold BTC or other volatile assets as a hedge against fiat currencies. Being a Liberlander, whether as an E-Resident or citizen, embodies the core values we cherish: freedom of choice, decentralized systems, transparency, and financial autonomy. It offers an environment that embraces the principles of digital currencies, providing a platform for individuals to thrive in a community that resonates with their beliefs. By choosing to become a citizen of Liberland or conduct business through Liberland, cryptocurrency maximalists find themselves in an ecosystem that mirrors their vision for a decentralized, borderless, and economically stable future.

Manilla, Philippines, 6th December 2023 – Liberland President Vít Jedlička has been distinguished as a Peace Prize Laureate with the Gusi Peace Prize in Manila, Philippines, a recognition reflecting his dedication to fostering peace, liberty, and the blockchain  governance of Liberland. This prestigious award, often likened to the ‘Asian Nobel Peace Prize’, honours leaders globally who have made significant contributions to peace and human rights. In his speech at the award ceremony, President Jedlička spoke about the founding principles of Liberland, established on 13th April 2015, in homage to Thomas Jefferson's birthday. He underscored Liberland's commitment to peaceful resolution of conflicts, neutrality, and a governance system centred on voluntary participation. "The absence of force in our governance and a justice system focused on incentives rather than punishments are key to our philosophy", Jedlička stated. He proudly noted the absence of significant injuries or loss of life in Liberland since its inception, a testament to the country's peaceful ethos. President Jedlička expressed profound gratitude for the award, viewing it as a validation of Liberland's efforts to build a society founded on freedom and voluntary exchange. "This award strengthens our resolve to continue striving for a world where liberty and peace prevail", he remarked.  The Gusi Peace Prize, established in 2002, is named after the World War II veteran and Filipino guerrilla, Captain Gemeniano Javier Gusi. It symbolizes a commitment to global peace and human dignity, celebrating achievements in various fields including statesmanship, science, and humanitarianism. The annual ceremony in Manila brings together laureates from around the world, highlighting their contributions to the pursuit of peace and freedom. Past laureates include prominent figures such as President Kgalema Motlanthe of South Africa, Prime Minister Timothy Harris of St. Kitts and Nevis, and President Arnold Rüütel of Estonia, illustrating the prestige and international recognition associated with this award. With this accolade, President Jedlička joins an esteemed group of other 12 presidents and other distinguished recipients, further spotlighting Liberland's approach to nation-building and its growing influence on the global stage. About Liberland The Free Republic of Liberland, situated between Croatia and Serbia on the Danube River, was established in 2015 on unclaimed land by Vít Jedlička.

Liberland President Vít Jedlička has been awarded the Gusi Peace Prize in Manila, Philippines. During the main ceremony, he delivered an inspiring and heartfelt speech. In his speech, President Jedlička highlighted Liberland's commitment to peaceful conflict resolution and a governance system based on voluntary participation, drawing inspiration from Thomas Jefferson. He emphasized the nation's dedication to non-violence and a justice system focused on incentives rather than punishment. President Jedlicka proudly noted Liberland's record of safety and peace since its inception, expressing deep gratitude for the Gusi Peace Prize and its support in advancing Liberland's mission and values on the global stage. The Gusi Peace Prize is often referred to as the 'Asian Nobel Peace Prize,' it honours excellence in a range of fields including, but not limited to, statesmanship, science, economics, and humanitarianism. Liberland President was awarded among other notable presidents and diplomats in the past, such as President Kgalema Motlanthe from South Africa, Prime Minister Timothy Harris from St. Kitts and Nevis, President Antonio Eanes from Portugal, President Arnold Rüütel from Estonia, or President Fidel V. Ramos from the Philippines.    The full speech of the President: "Excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, It’s truly a pleasure to be invited here and to be present among so many honourable guests. Liberland was born on April 13, 2015, the birthday of Thomas Jefferson. We purposefully selected this date to honour the great contributions that this founding father of the United States made to the development of civilization on our planet. A central part of Liberland's philosophy is our commitment to resolving conflicts peacefully and maintaining neutrality. This echoes Jefferson's ideals of 'peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations,' and avoiding all entangling alliances. The absence of the use of force in our governance is the second key element of how Liberland operates. When people become citizens, they pledge not to take from their fellow citizens by force. This includes stealing by the means of the state apparatus. Our tax system is voluntary. Anybody voluntarily contributing to the government receives merits in return as they become true stakeholders of the country. The third most important idea behind the formation of Liberland is the removal of violence from Liberland’s justice system and the use of incentives rather than punishments. Rather than throwing people in jail for years, the main form of punishment for crime is the removal of Merits. These three key founding rules guide us in our mission to build the freest and the most peaceful nation on the planet. It pleases me greatly to note that there have been no loss of life or even notable injury in Liberland since its inception. This is something for which I am profoundly thankful. It is our hope that this legacy continues as we strive to establish constructive relations with our neighbours and the international community. I am deeply honoured by the recognition I am receiving in the form of the Gusi Peace Prize, which significantly aids our efforts. I am honoured to salute the legacy of Captain Javier Gusi as well as Madame Gusi and of course the work of Barry and Evelyn Gusi. Thank you very much!"

Croatia insists on calling Liberland in its official documents a “parastate”. The concept of Liberland being termed a "parastate" is intriguing, especially since the term incorporates the term "state," leading to the question of whether Croatia is indirectly recognizing Liberland as a type of state.  Let’s cite some examples: Document UP/I-216-04-23-01/1873 (expulsion of an EU national): “[Vít Jedlička] as the creator of the idea and the project of the parastatal entity [of Liberland]… . ”  (this formulation appears on three similar documents) Document: NK UP/I-216-04-23-04/192 (expulsion of a non-EU national): “The given area is claimed by a Czech citizen Vít Jedlička as the state of Liberland and the proponents of the parastatal entity…” (link not provided due to the document being about a third person, to protect their personal data) Document Administrative legal action  (against the aforementioned expulsion under .../1873) states that: "Gornja Siga, where the Free Republic of Liberland is located, is in no way part of the Republic of Croatia, a view also held by the defendant. Consequently, under such circumstances, the jurisdiction of the Republic of Croatia does not come into consideration for potentially sanctioning individuals found there, including the plaintiff." Hence, it is clear between both parties that the area of Liberland is not Croatia - because Liberland is a parastate. (this formulation repeats on many similar documents) However, this notion requires further scrutiny. The Oxford Dictionary defines "parastate" as a region aiming to be or claiming to be an independent state but lacking official recognition. Thus, Croatia's reference to Liberland as a parastate suggests recognition of its existence as a separate entity, albeit not as an officially recognised independent state. Academic studies have identified various regions as parastates. Irene Fernandez-Molina, in her work "Western Sahara as a Hybrid of a Parastate and a State-in-Exile: (Extra)territoriality and the Small Print of Sovereignty in a Context of Frozen Conflict",  referred to Western Sahara as a parastate. Western Sahara has limited control over its territory and it is mostly directed from refugee camps in Algeria. It however had an International Court of Justice opinion stating, although not directly, the right of its tribes to national self-determination. Kosovo is a region identified as a parastate in Mladen Mrdalj’s study “From Pararepublic to Parastate: International Leverage in Shaping Kosovo’s Secession”. The International Court of Justice's opinion significantly influenced Kosovo's parastate status, receiving notable international support, particularly from the United States. Eduardo Baldaro and Luca Rainieri, in their article "Azawad: a Parastate Between Nomads and Mujahidins?" discusses the distinctions between “secessionist” and “territorial” parastates and the connection between Azawad and Mali. Azawad is classified as a parastate due to its effective functioning as a real state. As we can see, the parastates in question are rather well-established entities. Several have received an opinion from the International Court of Justice confirming their existence. They also have their own legal system and exert a degree of control over a territory and the people who recognize them as their countries.  Liberland is different from other places called parastates, like Western Sahara or Kosovo, because it's not in a conflict or claiming old land. This is good because because people aren’t getting hurt, which is the greatest boon of all. It brings, however, a challenge because it might be harder to get attention. But it is mostly good and compatible with Liberland’s mission: to be the first state founded without a single shot being fired and a single person egregiously harmed. What does this all mean? In short, Croatia calling Liberland a parastate is a big deal.  Why? The term "Parastate" represents a notable acknowledgement by Croatia of Liberland's seriousness and legitimacy, far removed from being merely a "wannabe country" or "micronation." Liberland is a state in reality, but from Croatia’s point of view, they refuse to treat Liberland as a fully equal sovereign entity due to its present lack of international recognition. Still, this is important because it helps Liberland be taken more seriously in Croatia and elsewhere. Croatia, in a way, recognizes Liberland’s (proto-) statehood. Looking ahead, Liberland has some work to do. It needs to show the world it can act like a proper country, following international rules and making friends with other countries, securing their recognition.  Also, Liberland being a parastate is interesting for experts who study countries and how they start. It's not every day a new place tries to become a country, so people are watching to see what happens with Liberland. It might even change how we think about new countries in the future. Liberland should make further forays into academia to benefit from this situation. In conclusion, Croatia's recognition of Liberland as a parastate is a helpful step, whether it was intended to be that or not. It opens doors for Liberland to keep trying to become a recognized country and could change the way new countries come about in the world. We finish by quoting from the defence of Vít Jedlička as it was given during the process mentioned above - this is a good "mission statement" regarding the intention of the government of the Parastate of Liberland and its stance towards their closest and most important neighbour: "I believe that those responsible ... now understand that Liberland poses no threat to the Republic of Croatia; instead, it represents the greatest economic opportunity for Croatia since its establishment. I appreciate the acknowledgement of our existence, the recognition of our borders, travel documents, and security services. These actions are not extremist or incident-related. For instance, not wearing a helmet on an electric quad in the forest should not be classified as an incident or extremist activity against Croatia, among other similar non-issues. We propose that Croatian police refrain from applying misdemeanor law for minor offenses against us. Instead, I concur with the application of criminal law in Liberland, provided it does not involve our diplomatic staff, whose conduct should be addressed through diplomatic channels. Liberland is an independent state that fully acknowledges and respects Croatian institutions and laws within Croatia's territory. I pose no threat to Croatia's territorial integrity or its institutions. Incidents involving helmets are less disruptive than Croatian bureaucracy. Contrary to the accusations against me, there has been a proposal from your police for cooperation, suggesting we expedite border crossings by submitting photos and documents of individuals entering Liberland. This is not obstruction but collaboration. We have automated the entry processes required by Croatian police on our visa application and the website border.liberland.org. Furthermore, it is well understood from the Serbian Foreign Minister's statement, received via email in 2015, that Serbia does not claim Gornja Siga as its territory. Similarly, Croatia does not view Gornja Siga as its land, and for its success in future arbitration, it would be prudent not to claim this area, implying both countries renounce claims to it. Regarding the alleged threats of violence, I assert that we have never and will never resort to violence against Croatian citizens or police. This is in stark contrast to certain actions by Croatian police, as highlighted in Niko Omilana's video, viewed by over 8 million people on YouTube. Liberland is a neutral nation seeking peaceful and friendly relations with all countries."

The atmosphere was surreal in Washington, D.C. as controversy surrounding the elections for Speaker of the House took place. Through uncertainty and many empty offices, freedom quickly became the universal language spoken this past October. Liberland President, Vít Jedlička, Vice President Bogie Wozniak, Finance Minister Navid Seberin, Foreign Affairs Minister Tom Walls, Ambassador-At-Large Richard Holson III, and U.S. Representative Kathleen Alcorn gathered together to attend the 50th Anniversary of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). The multi-day conference included ALEC’s 50th Anniversary Gala held on 4 October 2023 within the stunning backdrop of the National Portrait Gallery. Long gowns flowed with well-informed conversations throughout each room. President Jedlicka quickly built new friendships with fellow young leaders, receiving invitations to visit and to testify on behalf of Liberland’s efforts during state legislative sessions. Speakers during the dinner included United States Senator Pete Ricketts (Nebraska) and Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears (Virginia), with talk radio personality Hugh Hewitt emceeing the event. US Senators, members of Congress, Governors, and state legislators were in attendance throughout the massive glass-covered courtyard. Past Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, was present as well.  ALEC prepared many highly informative and engaging daytime sessions with topics that included economics, geopolitics, education and government. Sessions were filled with key industry members as well as members of state legislative government from all over the United States. Insights into ALEC’s sessions may be found in ALEC’s publication of 50 Years of Trusted Policy Solutions.  ALEC has been a long supporter of Liberland’s efforts which began with past State Representative David Reis (Illinois). Mr. Reis served as a past board member of ALEC and was the first legislator to introduce a house resolution recognizing Liberland as a country. Mr. Reis immediately understood the importance of Liberland after meeting President Jedlička at the 2016 ALEC conference. Mr. Reis’ efforts for Liberland recognition are continued through other states. The Liberland delegation utilized this time to network heavily for legislative sponsorship in support of Liberland, using the original language drafted by Liberland U.S. Representative David Molineaux and Mr. Reis. Many states expressed favourable support and updates shall be provided as those bills are introduced.  The Liberland delegation spent additional time on Capitol Hill, meeting with key staff on issues specific to foreign relations and constructive efforts that may be made to protect the safety of our residents. It was during this time that forces in neighbouring Croatia increased their opposition to Liberland and its citizens through unauthorized invasions and surveillance, destroyed homes and personal property, and confiscation of personal property such as generators, communications equipment and bicycles.  The Liberland delegation is extremely grateful to Richard Hoslon III, who has championed and advocated for Liberland since its beginnings. Through Mr. Holson, Liberland has become a welcomed entity at ALEC. During the visit, ALEC CEO Lisa B. Nelson was a most gracious host to the delegation. Because of ALEC’s continued support as well as its steadfast mission that includes advocating for individual liberties, Ms. Nelson was awarded the Order of Merit 1st Class, which was presented to her by President Jedlička.

Early on Thursday, 23 November, at about 07:00, settlers in Liberland faced a scary situation during a flood just before they were planning to go back to Liberty Island. Early in the morning, woken up by strange noises, they heard what sounded like a tractor. After a bit of confusion, the settlers left the boat to find the ropes of their houseboat "Swan" cut. As their axe was nowhere to be seen, they surmised this was done by that axe and by whoever had been on the tractor. To understand how dangerous this was, remember: The Danube River was flowing fast and was higher than normal. Everyone was on 'Swan,' a small houseboat. If the boat had been cut loose, it would have floated away on the strong river, out of control. Luckily, the settlers woke up, and their movement and sounds ended the incident. Whoever did it probably knew he was doing something very wrong: Damaging their boat on purpose. This could have hurt or even killed people. The person cutting didn't care about the danger he was causing. Thanks to the settlers’ quick actions, they only lost the axe, which the perpetrator took with him as he fled, and some tools for maintaining the fire pit. You can see the situation from the day of the incident on two video reports from the day here. This incident and other things that have happened make it seem like people from Hrvatske Šume, d.o.o., the state forestry company, are involved. For months, our settlers have been victimized by the group’s criminal activities: They've had their bikes and other things stolen, and once, their wooden houses were destroyed, and building materials were taken right from the hands of settlers who shouted that they owned them. Now, it looks like these forest bandits are becoming even more brazen, not merely content to damage property but putting people's lives in danger by cutting ropes. We know that Hrvatske Šume, d.o.o., has laid unfounded claims of jurisdiction over Liberland without any legal basis. It's important to recognize that a regulation issued by a ministry cannot unilaterally bind private individuals, nor can an exchange of diplomatic notes establish such authority.  These ongoing criminal activities in the area demonstrate a disregard for legal norms and procedures, and our legal teams are currently busy challenging all such claims at the court, see the Hringur Finger Case. We plan to report this to the Croatian authorities since the Forestry Services work in Croatia and should be stopped there. We'll keep you updated on what happens next.

On Tuesday, 14th November, an incident occurred in Liberland. Liberland, as you likely know, is a territory not recognized under Croatian jurisdiction. Over the past decades, the government of the Republic of Croatia has repeatedly and categorically denied that Gornja Siga (Liberland) is, or ever has been Croatia, and that for reasons of maintaining the political balance of powers with Serbia. The Croatian Border Police accused Hringur, a settler in Liberland, of a misdemeanour for an obviously trivial act – making a middle finger gesture at a camera hanging on a tree. Said camera had previously been identified by the Border Police as the property of the Croatian Forestry (Hrvatske Šume d.o.o.).  Apparently, a police officer of the Border Police saw the gesture on the camera and interpreted it as directed against the Border Police. This act was understood as vulgarity against an official institution (against the Border Police itself), leading to a charge under Article 17, paragraph 1 of Croatia's Law on Misdemeanours against Public Order and Peace: Those who belittle or insult state authorities, i.e. official persons, on the occasion of or in connection with the performance of their duties or their lawful orders, will be punished for the violation with a fine in the amount of 700.00 to 4000 euros or a prison sentence of up to 30 days. Let us make a few observations: The incident took place in Liberland, where the law of Croatia isn’t applicable There is no jurisdiction of the Border Police to prosecute; Hringur had no idea he was showing the middle finger at the police as he couldn’t know that the police would watch him through a Croatian Forestry-installed camera. This legal ambiguity intensified when Hringur refused a EUR 650 fine, leading to an expedited court session at the Municipal Court in Osijek on the day of the accusation. The short notice for the court session raised concerns about the ability to secure adequate legal representation and whether or not this was a deliberate attempt to deny such legal counsel.  Hringur asked for a Danish translator, which the court could not provide on such short notice. As a result, the court hearing was rescheduled for 22 November 2023 at 13:00.  In response to this unusual legal scenario, a peaceful gathering was organized to show solidarity with Hringur, support the rule of law in Croatia, and demonstrate the physical presence of Liberlanders and their intention to build their country.  Despite the previous written efforts of Hringur’s lawyers, who argued both the lack of police jurisdiction and the obvious absence of intention on Hringur’s part, since he had no idea he was insulting the Border Police, the court session started with the judge presenting the parties with a guilty verdict and this time, Hringur would have to pay EUR 3000.  The defence emphatically insisted that Liberland is not Croatia and is outside of Croatia’s jurisdiction. The witness for the prosecution countered by stating that an “agreement” between Serbia and Croatia creates this jurisdiction.  Hringur’s lawyer easily countered this: An exchange of diplomatic notas, nota bene one not readily available to the public, is not a source of binding legal norms upon private persons. There cannot be secret laws, nor can rights and obligations be created or modified except on the basis of a law, albeit possibly indirectly (law → regulation → judicial practice, for example).  The prosecution retorted that the original accusation doesn't mention any bilateral agreement and that the court simply finds the defendant guilty regardless, because "there is danger he will repeat the offence, mainly due to members of the so-called Liberland habitually committing various violations in [Gornja Siga]; in addition to the Croatian police, the State Inspectorate is also active." Jurisdiction holds paramount importance in law, serving as the foundation upon which all other legal frameworks are built. For it to be valid, it must be firmly rooted in established law, which is not the case here. The Prosecutor's approach, which casually overlooks the critical point of establishing jurisdiction, appears overly simplistic upon analysis. Furthermore, the prosecution shifts to an argument suggesting guilt by association, implying that because some Liberlanders may have committed violations, all are culpable. This logic is fundamentally flawed for two reasons: firstly, the acts of the other settlers are violations only if there is jurisdiction, but jurisdiction is precisely in doubt here; and secondly, it relies on the notion of collective guilt—essentially presuming guilt by mere association with a group. Liberland is neither a criminal organization nor an extremist group, making this line of reasoning untenable in a court that upholds the principles of the rule of law. As a bottom line, most of those "acts of violations" are misdemeanour indictments by a misdemeanour order, and all have been appealed against; this makes the defendant innocent until the court decides; therefore, technically speaking, there are not that many violations which have legal force, and the very core of the Prosecutor's argumentation is critically incorrect. The witnesses report that the court proceeded in an orderly manner. Hringur and Liberland are waiting until Monday for the final verdict. Liberland’s legal experts feel confident that even if that is “guilty”, there is sufficient legal basis for an appeal to overturn the verdict. The law is on our side. In the trivial and shallow reading of the law's text, our position's correctness might not be so obvious which leads to the current challenges. When experts become involved and genuinely examine the matters with in-depth knowledge and in good faith, Liberland’s side clearly prevails.  It seems plausible that Croatian officials might also realize to some extent that our position has substantial merit.  Otherwise, one finds it hard to explain why, out of 70 cases connected to Liberland, with 58 being directly related to activities within Liberland, there has been a noticeable delay in their processing, with little to no communication from the Court regarding their status. And why the authorities have chosen this particular “finger” case to conduct the process almost immediately. In any case, any such a process is an important milestone for Liberland. We are committed to approaching each case with thorough preparation and expertise. Meanwhile, it is essential for us to exercise patience as we await the opportunity to present our arguments in a Croatian judicial setting that possesses the requisite level of expertise to argue our position to its logical conclusion: the unobstructed establishment of Liberland.

Liberland's President Vit Jedlicka recently visited Buenos Aires, Argentina, during an important moment in the country's history. The visit coincided with the presidential selection, resulting in the victory of Javier Milei, a supporter of Liberland's principles. The trip was marked by a series of events, including a gathering with local supporters, a memorable pitching at the Labitconf conference, and an exploration of the vibrant city of Buenos Aires. Presidential Selection: Javier Milei's Victory The timing of President Jedlicka's visit was particularly noteworthy, as Argentina was in the midst of a presidential election. The election took a turn as Javier Milei, a supporter of the libertarian movement, emerged victorious. This shared ideology fosters hope for collaboration and mutual understanding between Liberland and Argentina, creating a bridge for libertarian values on a broader scale. Article: "Liberland Congratulates Milei on Argentina Win" Local Engagement: Meeting with Buenos Aires Supporters President Jedlicka took the opportunity to connect with local supporters in Buenos Aires. The gathering was a testament to the global reach and influence of Liberland's mission. Supporters, both new and longstanding, had the chance to engage with the President, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. The event not only strengthened bonds but also provided a platform for dialogue on the principles that unite Liberland and its supporters in Argentina. Labitconf Conference: President Jedlicka's speech  President Jedlicka's visit extended beyond political circles to the tech and blockchain community. The Liberland President was invited to speak at the Labitconf conference, a prominent event in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. His speech highlighted the intersection of libertarian values and the innovative potential of blockchain technology. It was a moment to showcase Liberland's commitment to cutting-edge solutions and to share insights with a diverse audience eager to explore the possibilities of a decentralized future.

LIBERLAND, NOVEMBER 20 -- President Vit Jedlicka sent congratulations to Javier Milei after he won the third round of the Argentine presidential election. Milei is an economist, Deputy in the National Congress of Argentina, and prominent television commentator on issues of the day. He rose to fame with his sharp critiques of establishment politicians and socialist policies. Liberland sent congratulations to Javier Milei after winning the third round of the Argentine presidential election. Milei is an economist, Deputy in the National Congress of Argentina, and prominent television commentator. He rose to fame with his sharp critiques of establishment politicians and socialist policies.  After suffering decades of economic mismanagement and severe inflation, Argentine voters made a decisive move to change the status quo with 55.8% of voters choosing Milei. This historic win indicates a sea change in Argentine politics, and will surely have a ripple effect, not only in Latin America, but in other countries.  Liberland hopes for ties with incoming administration “The pendulum of liberty is swinging, so I want to send big congratulations to the Argentinian people. They took a great step in choosing Javier Milei,” said Liberland President Vit Jedlicka. “And congratulations to Javier Milei. I’m looking for long-lasting and great relations between our two countries.” Link to congratulations video “I am eager to develop diplomatic relations between Liberland and Argentina,” said Liberland Foreign Minister Thomas Walls. “We are truly delighted with the results of the election. You know we look forward to the day when we inaugurate the Argentine Embassy in Liberland.” Milei has publicly mentioned and described Liberland several times. In a recent radio interview, Milei told the host that “there is already a country based on the libertarian model and it is called Liberland. Taxes are zero and you only participate in political life in Liberland if you make voluntary contributions. How does that grab you?” In 2019, Milei appeared in costume at a cosplay convention as "General AnCap" in a mask and yellow-and-black superhero outfit, stating "I come from Liberland... a land of seven square kilometers between Croatia and Serbia. A country where you don’t pay taxes, a country where we defend individual freedom, and where we believe in the individual. And there is no place for collectivist sons of bitches who want to screw up our lives." Link to some of Javier Milei's mentions of Liberland Recently, the Liberland delegation met in Buenos Aires with Milei’s political party, the Partido Libertario. They affirmed their shared commitment to the principles of liberty and to cooperate in several areas, including international relations.

The Network State Conference held in Amsterdam on October 30 was a remarkable gathering of individuals who share a common vision for the future. Attended by our Justice Minister, Michal Ptáčník, the conference provided a unique platform for innovators, thought leaders, and pioneers to come together and delve into the concept of the network state. The diverse lineup of speakers, including Glenn Greenwald, Vitalik Buterin, and others, fostered an environment where ideas flowed seamlessly, transcending traditional boundaries. The best part? Everyone there was super excited about creating a future where we don't just follow the same old rules. Instead, we want to build new communities and systems based on Internet values. The conference wasn't just a place to learn; it was like a big brainstorming session where everyone shared their ideas. Connecting with people who think alike at the Network State Conference felt like taking a big step toward making cool things happen in the future.

Because of the harsh treatment of Liberlanders by the Croatian authorities, Liberland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked Liberlanders to write letters of protest to Croatian embassies worldwide. The campaign was successful and elicited a response to Liberlanders from the Croatian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (MVEP) via their respective embassies, which we will reprint below and respond to point-by-point. We appreciate that the Croatian Foreign Ministry took the time to respond - clearly, we disagree with what they write and the arguments they present. Nonetheless, it is the beginning of dialogue between Liberland and Croatia. Since August 6, access to Liberland has been possible, leaving from the towns of Batina or Zmajevac in Croatia. Liberlanders first set up a base camp at Jefferson Square. They started restoring the old hunting lodge there and erected three buildings at Mateos Marina. On September 21 and 22, Croatian authorities - both police and employees of the state forestry company - entered Gornja Siga (Liberland) from Croatia and destroyed the Liberland settlement, demolishing the buildings and taking the property, equipment, bicycles and food supplies of the settlers.  The settlers are still on the ground at the marina as well as at a new settlement on Liberty Island, and we have been steadily rebuilding under the circumstances.  In addition to the attack on the settlement and theft of our property, Croatian Border Police as well as local police have been constantly harassing visitors to the area, both inside and outside of Liberland. While many individual officers have acted professionally and civilly, their actions as a whole - following orders from the top - have created a very hostile environment for travelers and tourists, particularly for those visitors from outside the EU or Schengen Zone. They have even stopped people from riding bicycles on an EU-funded designated bike path and later stole their locked bicycles. In protest of this treatment, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked Liberlanders to write letters to Croatian embassies worldwide. The campaign was successful and elicited a response to Liberlanders from the Croatian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (MVEP) via their respective embassies, which we will reprint below and respond to point-by-point. We appreciate that the Croatian Foreign Ministry took the time to respond - clearly, we disagree with what they write and the arguments they present. Nonetheless, it is the beginning of dialogue. Croatian Foreign Ministry’s response to letters of protest: In response, we wish to draw your attention to the fact that the present case involves Croatian police officers’ legitimate treatment of foreign nationals who were not only staying in Croatia illegally, but also disrupting its legal and public order. The so-called Liberland is not and cannot become a subject of international law. It is a fictitious project of a handful of adventurers who, knowingly violating the legislation of the Republic of Croatia and completely contrary to international law, have ever since 2015 been trying to falsely portray the area along the right bank of the Danube River as no man's land (terra nullius), claiming that as such it can be subject to possession or occupation by the so-called Liberland. Since the dissolution of the former SFRY, the land areas located on the left and right sides of the Danube River belong either to the Republic of Croatia or the Republic of Serbia, in accordance with international law and as confirmed by the Badinter Commission. Due to the area’s specific history and geographic features including the meandering course of the Danube River, it remains for the two neighbouring countries to reach a final decision on the precise course of the border line. Pursuant to the international law, this can under no circumstances be interpreted as that the area can be considered no-man's land, let alone be subject of occupation by any third party. In conclusion, we stress that access to the area is not prohibited. Anybody who wishes to visit areas in the immediate vicinity of the border between Croatia and Serbia, which are in possession and under the surveillance of competent Croatian authorities, must abide the laws of the Republic of Croatia and EU legislation. First and foremost, this includes provisions governing border crossings and movement in the proximity of the state border, which is now also the external border of the EU and Schengen area. Embassy of the Republic of Croatia Our response: “In response, we wish to draw your attention to the fact that the present case involves Croatian police officers’ legitimate treatment of foreign nationals who were not only staying in Croatia illegally, but also disrupting its legal and public order.” This is wholly incorrect. Liberland visitors do not come to Croatia illegally. They enter Croatia legally by air, at land border crossings and by vessels on the Danube. They then enter Gornja Siga/Liberland under supervision of personnel of the Croatian Border Police. Since Croatia’s accession to the Schengen Zone, there have been many hundreds such entries and exits, fully supervised, and not once have we been accused of illegally crossing the border.  We also strongly disagree with the libelous assertion that the people of Liberland supposedly disrupt the legal and public order of Croatia. To the contrary, they are making friends, spending money, buying supplies, food and equipment from Croatian stores in the area, using Croatian services, hotels and BnBs and much more. Liberlanders are entirely peaceful.  If there exists any disruption to public order, it is attributable to the actions of the Border Police officers who impose extrajudicial punishments on local Croatian citizens and their families when they associate with us, thereby endangering their personal safety and economic well-being (we know of many such cases!). Croatian nationals - including many young people -  who are curious about Liberland are also harassed and intimidated by the police.  “The so-called Liberland is not and cannot become a subject of international law. It is a fictitious project of a handful of adventurers who, knowingly violating the legislation of the Republic of Croatia and completely contrary to international law, have ever since 2015 been trying to falsely portray the area along the right bank of the Danube River as no man's land (terra nullius), claiming that as such it can be subject to possession or occupation by the so-called Liberland.” It is our position that Liberland is a subject of international law and possesses international legal personhood. It has a government, a population, a defined territory and the capacity to conduct relations with other governments. Liberland is certainly not fictitious; otherwise Croatia would not be spending the considerable resources it does to complicate the matter. In official documents, Croatian authorities have referred to Liberland as a “parastate,” which is defined as "institution or body which takes on some of the roles of civil government." We seem to be getting somewhere! However, the debate over Liberland's status as a full-fledged subject of public international law or about its recognition by Croatia detracts from the central concern: whether Liberland, as a collective of individuals, as a concept, as a political movement, and as a set of objectives, does not violate Croatian or international law and conducts itself ethically. This is the paramount question. In adherence to the principle of "presumed innocent until proven guilty," we maintain that Liberland constitutes a lawful and legitimate assembly of individuals, predominantly composed of EU, EEA, US and British Commonwealth citizens in terms of visitors to the territory. Nonetheless, the treatment we receive is unjustifiably discriminatory. A consistent pattern of persecution is evident, as authorities illegitimately and often illegally shut down our legal avenues of operation, pushing us towards a gray area of semi-legality, only to then accuse us of operating outside the law. Such systematic defamation is an all too common tactic of oppression. Again, no legislation is being violated by the people of Liberland, nor do they seek to violate any Croatian laws, and we object to their characterization thus. Police reprisals against us are wholly unjustified. “Since the dissolution of the former SFRY, the land areas located on the left and right sides of the Danube River belong either to the Republic of Croatia or the Republic of Serbia, in accordance with international law and as confirmed by the Badinter Commission. Due to the area’s specific history and geographic features including the meandering course of the Danube River, it remains for the two neighbouring countries to reach a final decision on the precise course of the border line. Pursuant to the international law, this can under no circumstances be interpreted as that the area can be considered no-man's land, let alone be subject of occupation by any third party.” We acknowledge that that is the official Croatian position, but we ask you to consider the following: The territory of Gornja Siga was never part of Croatia and does not exist on any Croatian maps; it has essentially been abandoned since the breakup of the former SFRY (Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) - over 25 years and essentially became bona vacantia. Serbia has issued a quitclaim to the land and has clearly stated that the formation of the new state does not infringe upon their territory. Croatia is not the continuation state of the former SFRY and has no feasible claim on territory that exists outside of its borders or on territory that existed outside of its borders as a federal unit during the time of the SFRY.  Perhaps the reason Croatian authorities are devoting such vast resources to complicate the matter is that they realize the Liberland claim - which has been public since April 13, 2015 - does have merit, and is a tenable, defendable claim in international law.  “In conclusion, we stress that access to the area is not prohibited. Anybody who wishes to visit areas in the immediate vicinity of the border between Croatia and Serbia, which are in possession and under the surveillance of competent Croatian authorities, must abide the laws of the Republic of Croatia and EU legislation. First and foremost, this includes provisions governing border crossings and movement in the proximity of the state border, which is now also the external border of the EU and Schengen area.” Liberland recognizes and supports the right and duty of Croatia to protect its borders. We also understand the border is a sensitive area and would like to cooperate with Croatian authorities in ensuring there is no illegal entry by anyone. Yes, people can visit the area but only if they are EU or Schengen Zone nationals. Nationals of the US, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and others - countries which are allied with and provide considerable support to Croatia - are discriminated against and essentially treated as guilty until proven innocent by Croatian officials. This treatment is also given to Serbian nationals, which is especially ironic as Croatia considers Gornja Siga to still be Serbian territory.  Currently these individuals, who are not coming to Croatia illegally, are apprehended by Croatian police, taken to the police station at Duboševica and given a 30 or 90 day ban from Croatia and in some cases the EU. Some are put on a travel blacklist. They are typically given a paper that states they have no legitimate reasons for entering Croatia. The reasons they do state are consistently ignored. They are then “assumed” to be coming to commit such “misdemeanors” as “lighting fires and illegal camping”. This is predictive punishment, punishing people based on assumptions of what they might do in the future. Solely based on this and their association with Liberland, these individuals are given travel bans from entering or staying in Croatia. These prior-restraint bans are issued by the police and not by any court or judge. We can only speculate that Croatia is doing so because non-EU, non-Schengen nationals do not have the same recourse through European institutions and are therefore easy targets to pick off.  These people could be bringing a huge amount of money into the Croatian economy, yet they are having their travel documents defaced with a ban sticker and their right to travel compromised just for wanting to visit the area.  We of course acknowledge the prerogative of the Croatian government to recognize or not recognize an entity as a state under international law. However, Croatia would benefit greatly from allowing Liberland to operate as an independent zone which can rejuvenate an economically moribund area -- and in which Croatian people can also live, work and visit in peace.  Leaders on the Croatian side who make moves toward a workable solution will be doing the Croatian people - and especially the communities of beautiful Osijek-Baranja County - a huge service. Let's work together. Live and let live.

Liberland marked a significant milestone this past Saturday with its very first official wedding ceremony. The event saw Anna and Christian, two of Liberland's citizens, exchanging vows against the scenic backdrop of Liberty Island. Their union not only represented their personal commitment to each other but also symbolized the growing and vibrant community spirit within Liberland. This event has garnered significant attention, showcasing the rich cultural tapestry that Liberland is weaving as it grows. We invite members of the press and the public to view the beautifully captured moments from this wedding.

Our official representative, George Kingsley, has been actively promoting and representing Liberland since at least 2017, taking care of Liberland’s interests in Liberia as well as onboarding new e-residents. George has also fostered relations with Liberia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Monrovia.  In addition, Liberland representative in the United Arab Emirates and seasteading pioneer Samuele Landi, is Liberia’s Consul General to the UAE. 2023 has seen cooperation between Liberland and Liberia taken to the next level.  Earlier this year, we initiated the exchange of official correspondence with Liberian Minister of State, Trokon Kpiu, regarding the provision of pioneering blockchain technology to monitor election results. The proposal envisions setting up state-of-the-art transparent blockchain solution with regards to the collection of votes for Presidential and legislative elections with real-time reporting of the results.  In June, Representative Kingsley officiated the presentation of several new e-residency cards to new Liberland e-residents. More recently, George organized several letters of protest to Croatian diplomatic missions with regards to Croatia’s treatment of Liberland settlers as well as their treatment of non-Schengen, non-EU citizens in the area.  Bishop Dr. James G. Smith has also been instrumental in administering the Liberland community there, which numbers over 140 at press time. For his services, Bishop Smith has been awarded with the honorary position of President of the Liberland Community in Liberia.   “I’m very proud of the work with our Secretary of State and Representative Kingsley on building stronger relationships between our two nations,” says Thomas Walls, Liberland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs. “George has been an enthusiastic contributor to our efforts for a long time now.” The Republic of Liberia, a west African nation founded by free-born and freed African-Americans as well as Afro-Caribbeans, declared its independence in 1847.

The Free Republic of Liberland is delighted to announce that President Vit Jedlicka will be traveling to London to attend the esteemed India Today & International Book of Honour Awards at the British Parliament. This invitation-only event, scheduled for tomorrow, underscores the growing recognition and international rapport of Liberland. During this distinguished gathering, President Jedlicka will engage with Dr. Sandeep Marwah, the celebrated Guest of Honour. It's noteworthy that the two luminaries recently collaborated in New Delhi to inaugurate the Indo-Liberland Film Forum. Dr. Marwah, in recognition of his contributions and the strengthening of ties between India and Liberland, was honored with the title of Liberland Honorary Citizen during that visit. This visit to London signifies a potential watershed moment in fostering stronger diplomatic relations and broadening Liberland's global network. "Being invited to such a revered event in the British Parliament's House of Lords and the opportunity to connect with fellow Liberlanders and dignitaries is truly an honor," expressed President Jedlicka.

President Vít Jedlička of the Free Republic of Liberland is being honored with the highly regarded Gusi Peace Prize. It is presented by the Gusi Peace Prize Foundation, an institution renowned as one of Asia's foremost awarding bodies and among the leading entities of its kind. The Gusi Peace Prize is not just an ordinary award; it stands as a symbol of human achievement, ideals and values. President Jedlička's recognition by the Gusi Peace Prize Foundation underscores his outstanding contribution to these goals. What makes this achievement all the more remarkable is that President Jedlička will be personally attending the official award ceremony in Manila, Philippines. This event is a momentous occasion, and it emphasizes his dedication to the causes of liberty and global peace. The award ceremony also signals a recognition of President Jedlička's tireless efforts. The Gusi Peace Prize Foundation, established in 2002, has consistently celebrated individuals who have made an indelible impact on society by advancing peaceful and humanitarian ideals. Its mission is to inspire and motivate others to bring about positive change on a global scale. President Jedlička's journey is one that resonates deeply with these values. The Free Republic of Liberland, founded in April 2015 under his leadership, has emerged as a symbol of hope, a beacon that champions minimal government intervention, individual freedoms and voluntary coexistence. The Gusi Peace Prize acknowledges President Jedlička's relentless advocacy for individual rights, freedom, and peaceful diplomacy on the international stage. His work has garnered worldwide attention, placing not just Liberland but the very ideals of liberty in the global spotlight. It reflects commitment to innovative solutions to complex global challenges. As we anticipate the official ceremony, we also look forward to celebrating this occasion and reflecting on the collective effort of those fellow travelers committed to making the world a more peaceful and just place.

On Monday, October 23rd, Liberland launched its representative office at Savski Kej on the beautiful riverfront of Belgrade, Serbia.The event was attended by roughly 100 Liberlanders, diplomats, entrepreneurs and new friends curious about our growing country. One of Liberland’s goals is to serve as a free trade hub interconnected with the rest of the world. Liberland Trade Office in Belgrade Launched On Monday, October 23rd, Liberland launched its representative office at Savski Kej on the beautiful riverfront of Belgrade, Serbia. In conjunction with Adventure Hub Serbia, Liberland will now have a steady presence in the capital of Serbia.  The event was attended by roughly 100 Liberlanders, diplomats, entrepreneurs and new friends curious about our growing country. Guests enjoyed fine food and drinks by local caterers, presentations by Liberland officials and a rocking performance by Belgrade party band Perpetuum Mobile.  “We have already been bringing economic stimulus to Serbia in many sectors. From the maritime industry to tourism and blockchain, our office in Belgrade will help us connect us to these and other important sectors, and even help us expand our cultural and governmental ties,” says Thomas Walls, Liberland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs. “And this space is well-suited for meetings, events and some really great networking.” Alatz Herrero, a Spanish national and resident of Serbia, said “The great human group that I met yesterday is really motivating. I foresee a great future for our Republic. I am committed in order to contribute to the evolution of the country. I'm all in!” The Liberland Hotel project designed by Studio Bianchi Architettura of Rome, Italy was also presented by Sergio Bianchi, a longtime friend of Liberland and highly accomplished architect. One of Liberland’s goals is to serve as a free trade hub interconnected with the rest of the world. Liberland delegations have led dialogue in diverse places such as the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, UAE and India looking to bring business to the region. “There are many advantages to doing so here in Serbia and there are huge opportunities due to the access to so many different markets,” says Walls.  Estimates show a significant positive spillover effects that Liberland as a high economic freedom zone would have on economies of both Serbia and Croatia. The presence of Liberland as a high economic freedom area would lead to a increase in exports of both countries and increase in investments boosting the long term growth rate for Serbia as well as Croatia. Marko Radosevic of Belgrade remarked: "Since 2016 when I approached Liberland as a sympathizer, until now, so much progress has happened in adoption of Liberland values. Throughout the years, across Serbia and Belgrade we managed to summon many meet-ups. I am thrilled beyond expectations to be a part of the Belgrade Liberland crew that is finally able to witness and manage such a big leap in the form of official FTZ hub, where we can offer all vital info regarding any aspect of business, networking and even coworking, with highlight on Liberland projects in the capital of Serbia and beyond" Liberland’s Belgrade office is already being used to welcome a high-level delegation from the United Arab Emirates visiting Liberland the following weekend.  Stay tuned for future events!

The "Liberty in Our Lifetime" conference, held recently in Prague, saw a diverse range of speakers discussing the ideals of freedom and liberty. Among them was Liberland's own President, Vít Jedlička, who took the stage to provide a detailed update on the nation's latest endeavours. He touched upon the significant settlement progress that Liberland has achieved and delved into the diplomatic strides made through visits to India, Georgia, and Washington DC. Attendees of the conference were given a unique insight into the workings and future aspirations of Liberland. President Jedlička's presentation not only highlighted the nation's achievements but also emphasized the importance of international collaboration and understanding. As the conference came to a close, many were left reflecting on the President's words, with some even suggesting potential countries for future diplomatic engagements. The event served as a reminder of Liberland's commitment to its vision and the continuous efforts to make it a reality.

In the dynamic realm of international relations and economic partnerships, the Liberland team is always on the move, ensuring its presence at pivotal global events that promise collaboration and mutual growth. Recently, this commitment took our representatives to the bustling city of Dubai, UAE. Here, they attended a series of networking events, with a notable emphasis on the Malaysia Investors Networking event, a significant initiative by MDEC (Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation). MDEC, a government-owned institution, plays a crucial role in driving Malaysia's digital transformation. With its primary mission being to attract global tech investments into Malaysian tech companies, MDEC is at the heart of Malaysia's burgeoning digital economy. The event in Dubai served as a platform for investors, tech aficionados, and nation representatives to converge, explore synergies, and lay the groundwork for potential collaborations. For the Liberland team, this wasn't just an opportunity to gain insights into Malaysia's tech landscape but also a chance to introduce and spread awareness about Liberland's vision and aspirations. The discussions were insightful, touching upon the future of tech, investment avenues, and the vast potential for bilateral collaborations between Liberland and Malaysia. With the interactions at the event, there's a palpable sense of anticipation and optimism for what the future holds. We are genuinely excited about the prospects of a robust collaboration with Malaysia, especially in the tech sector. As the global landscape continues to evolve, the importance of such engagements becomes even more pronounced. With hope and determination, the Liberland team is geared up for more such fruitful collaborations in the days to come.

Liberland is set to witness a monumental event that will be etched in its history books. As the nation continues to grow and flourish, it's not just the political and economic milestones that make headlines, but also the personal and heartfelt moments that resonate with its settlers. This October, we are thrilled to announce the first-ever wedding to take place on Liberland soil. Anna Christine Laljenroth Morstad and Niels Christian Ditleff have chosen Liberty Island as the backdrop to their union, symbolizing the values and spirit of freedom that Liberland stands for. The wedding, scheduled for Saturday, October 28th at 15:00, is more than just a celebration of love; it's a testament to the vibrant community and culture that is taking root in our young nation. As Anna and Niels exchange their vows, they will also be setting a precedent for many more joyous occasions to come. The entire nation is invited to join in this celebration, not just as spectators but as an extended family, coming together to shower the couple with love, blessings, and best wishes. Let's mark this day as a reminder of the beautiful tapestry of life that we are weaving together in Liberland.

The upcoming Liberland Longevity Conference 2023, nestled in the peaceful Liberland Ark Village in Serbia from November 17-19, is a three-day quest into sustainable living and longevity. It commences with an exploration of Liberland’s economic scaffold, spotlighting the merits and dollars ecosystem. Attendees will also delve into the luxurious ambiance of the Liberland Hotel and Spa, discovering its role in promoting wellness and longevity. The adventure unfolds further with a glimpse into Liberland's Adventure Park, a haven for thrill-seekers, and an epitome of sustainable recreation. The conference also highlights Liberland’s power plant and recycling facility, marking strides towards energy self-sufficiency and environmental sustainability. Beyond Liberland, the charm of the Golf Resort Zmajevac in Croatia unveils, showcasing leisure and cross-border camaraderie. Lastly, the conference unveils the innovative living solutions in Liberland ARK Village in Serbia and the modern housing developments in Liberland. These housing paradigms exemplify the nation’s commitment to sustainable, community-centric living. The Liberland Longevity Conference 2023 beckons those fervent about shaping a sustainable narrative for Liberland and its neighboring realms, offering a platform for meaningful dialogues towards a sustainable and long-lived society.

The enduring spirit of perseverance and innovation defines the community of Liberland. Following adversities on the mainland, where earlier structures were dismantled by the Croatian police as detailed in a distressing account, Liberland settlers charted a new course towards Liberty Island. The painful past has fueled a determined quest for a sustainable, sovereign homestead, rather than deterring the indomitable spirit of the settlers. The relocation to Liberty Island signifies more than just a geographical shift; it embodies the resolve of Liberland's community. Amidst the backdrop of pristine sandy beaches, a new emblem of hope and sustainability has emerged — a house built from none other than simple sandbags. This eco-friendly structure perfectly reflects our adaptability. It embodies the ethos of innovative living harmoniously intertwined with nature that Liberland staunchly advocates. The inviting ambiance of Liberty Island extends a warm invitation to new settlers, promoting a collaborative spirit and a shared vision of sustainable living. The journey from the mainland to Liberty Island epitomizes a narrative of endurance, adaptability, and the relentless pursuit of a dream. Through each sandbag stacked, the Liberland community is building a legacy of resilience, beckoning kindred spirits to join in weaving a tale of sustainable and sovereign living.

: “Liberland has already been bringing economic activity to Serbia in several sectors, including the maritime industry, tourism and blockchain technology. An office in Belgrade will be very helpful to connect us to these and other important sectors, and this space is well-suited for meetings and events,” says Thomas Walls, Liberland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs. As Liberland’s presence and significance grow, it is crucial that it has formal representation in key places. To that end, Liberland is launching a representative office at Savski Kej on the riverfront in Belgrade, Serbia. This is a place where people can find out more about Liberland and meet its personnel. The office launch is scheduled for Monday, October 23rd. “Our project has already been bringing economic activity to Serbia in several sectors, including the maritime industry, tourism and blockchain technology. An office in Belgrade will be very helpful to connect us to these and other important sectors, and this space is well-suited for meetings and events,” says Thomas Walls, Liberland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs. “Our situation is similar to that of Taiwan, which operates trade and cultural offices all around the world, in lieu of actual formal embassies. The message here is that we’re open for business.” This new representation is in line with Liberland’s goal of being a free trade hub interconnected with the rest of the world. In the last two years, Liberland delegations have led dialogue in diverse places such as the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, UAE and India looking to bring business to the region, especially the Vojvodina region. “We are also very interested in Serbia’s Free Trade Zone program and are inviting investors and businesses in all industries to consider partnering with us. There are many advantages to doing so here in Serbia and there are huge opportunities due to the access to so many different markets.” In addition to the topic of Free Trade Zones, there will be presentations on economic studies on how Liberland can contribute to the GDP of neighboring countries, blockchain and cryptocurrency as well as the Liberland Hotel project designed by Studio Bianchi Architettura of Rome, Italy.  Liberland Trade Office in Belgrade Adventure Hub Riverboat Savski Kej bb, Blok 70 Belgrade, Serbia

While less and less mainstream media often categorizes Liberland differently, most often as a micronation, Wikipedia still endorses it. However, when it comes to Liberland, this term clearly does not do justice to the ambitions and capabilities of this emerging entity. Let us examine some of the key differences that make Liberland far more than a mere micronation. Recognition by Croatia as a Parastate The land on which Liberland is situated, known as Gornja Siga, has been a subject of dispute between Croatia and Serbia. Both nations have disavowed ownership, leaving the land in a state of legal limbo. According to international law, land abandoned for more than twenty years reverts to state ownership. However, before 2015, no state claimed it. Liberland's establishment in 2015, therefore, presents a unique case: a new entity claiming a long-abandoned territory. In a recent incident that saw Liberland's President Vít Jedlička and two other settlers detained by Croatian authorities, Liberland was described by the term "parastate". Travel documents were discussed, and even the territory of Gornja Siga was specifically mentioned as separate from Croatia. These elements, while part of a legal struggle, also serve as indirect acknowledgements of Liberland's state-like attributes. You can read the translation of the original document in the attachment below.  What is a “Parastate?” A region that seeks or claims but does not have the status of a recognized independent state. Being a region means that there is a clearly defined territory. A parastate is not the same as a micronation; it presumes the working of a state or at least of some of its functions. It may lack recognition, but being called a parastate is itself a form of recognition.  How important is recognition for statehood anyway? Criteria of Statehood Important, but not supremely so. Statehood doesn't rest on recognition alone; rather, it is often defined by certain objective criteria that an entity must fulfil to qualify as a state. One of the most widely accepted frameworks for defining statehood is the modern declarative theory of recognition. According to this theory, recognition presents a mere declaration of the facts of statehood. The elements of statehood are often deemed declared by the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States. Adopted in 1933, the Montevideo Convention sets forth clear criteria that an entity must meet to be considered a state.  The Montevideo Convention was a significant milestone in international law, providing a standardized set of guidelines for what constitutes a state. It was signed by 20 countries at the Seventh International Conference of American States in Montevideo, Uruguay, and has since been cited in numerous international legal cases and discussions. The Convention's criteria for statehood have been broadly accepted beyond the Americas and are often referenced in debates and disputes over state recognition globally. We believe that this approach allows for a more objective assessment of statehood, reducing the influence of political biases and international relations on the determination of what constitutes a state. We will now examine Liberland in the light of the Montevideo Convention. Montevideo Criteria Defined Territory Unlike many micronations, Liberland has a physical territory adjacent to Croatia. This is not a fictional or virtual space but a real piece of land where the government aims to exercise its sovereignty. Importantly, Liberland's presence is not a point of contention with its Serbian neighbours, which adds a layer of geopolitical stability to its territorial claims. Effective Governance Liberland is not just a concept or a community; it has an effective government that works diligently to meet the criteria for international statehood. This includes a legal framework designed to be internationally compliant, as well as efforts to prevent any form of criminal activity within its jurisdiction. The government is actively involved in diplomatic talks and international relations, aiming to gain recognition as a sovereign state. International Agreements: A Step Towards Recognition One of the most telling signs of a functioning state is its ability to enter into and fulfil international agreements. Liberland has shown its capability in this regard, engaging in various forms of diplomacy and international cooperation. We can mention the memoranda of understanding with Malawi or Ghana, the memorandum with Haiti and the full and formal recognition with Somaliland.  Permanent Population While the population of Liberland is not large, it is permanent and growing. The settlement welcomes more settlers every day, and many more are intending to come after this winter.  Citizens and settlers have expressed a long-term commitment to residing in and developing the area, fulfilling the requirement of a permanent population. The first Liberland’s city is being born.  Conclusion: Europe’s newest Microstate Even if we were to consider the constitutive theory of statehood, which posits that a state only truly exists when recognized by other states, Liberland's case is compelling. The most crucial state for the de facto establishment of Liberland's statehood, Croatia, already considers Liberland a "parastate."  This term, used by Croatian authorities, signifies a level of recognition that goes beyond mere dismissal. It acknowledges Liberland's state-like attributes and its efforts to fulfil the criteria of statehood. This is a significant step toward international recognition and lends credence to Liberland's claim of being more than just a micronation. In summary, Liberland is not merely an aspirational project or a community with a flag; it is an emerging entity that fulfils all the Montevideo Convention's criteria for statehood. It has a defined territory, a permanent population, an effective government, and the capacity to enter into international relations. Far from being a whimsical micronation, Liberland should be seen as a microstate or, simply put, the world's youngest sovereign country. Its unique legal and geopolitical position, coupled with its ambitions and capabilities, make it a subject worthy of serious international consideration.

Started: at 08:40 Present: 1. Slaven Kolarič - pol. officer - head of the procedure 2. Vit Jedlička - Party 3. Stanislava Vrebacova - translator 4. Drago Acimović - representative 5. Mario Benak - recorder Accessed by Vit Jedlička, born September 6, 1983. in the town of Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic, citizen of the Czech Republic, identity established by inspection of the travel document of the Czech Republic, serial number: 45776468, issued on 06/28/2019. by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Czech Republic, valid until June 28, 2029. The party agrees that Stanislava Vrebacova will be present in the proceedings as a translator, who will translate my question from Croatian to Czech, and vice versa, translate my answers, and I am aware that the translator is not an authorized court interpreter. At the beginning of the procedure, the party was informed of the notification of the Security and Intelligence Agency of the Republic of Croatia, that as the original creator of the project of the parastatal entity called Liberland* and the self-proclaimed president of the said entity, together with fellow missionaries, continuously, for many years, carries out extremist and provocative activities incident to the detriment of the national interests and international reputation of the Republic of Croatia, by appropriating the territory of Gornja Siga, which is in the process of demarcation between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia, which none of the aforementioned states considers to be no-man‚s land'' (Terra Nullius), and over by which until the demarcation procedure in accordance with international law between the aforementioned two countries, the Republic of Croatia carries out supervision and control in order to ensure adequate supervision of the external border of the Schengen area, and with which the Republic of Serbia agrees. He is also aware that through real incidents aimed at appropriating the above-mentioned area, he and his associates and activists are contesting the legitimacy and current jurisdiction of Croatian state bodies over the above-mentioned area with the aim of prejudging the future state border between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia, to the detriment of the Republic of Croatia in the future arbitration proceedings, thus endangering the territorial integrity of the Republic of Croatia, that through the aforementioned incidents, of which more than fifty have been recorded so far, deliberately and planned, in a particularly brazen manner, ignore and challenge the official decisions of Croatian institutions, make the regular work of police officers more difficult and disturb the local population of Baranja. He was also informed that in recent times they have significantly intensified provocative and extremist activities in the area of Gornja Siga, which resulted in the construction of a camp, the setting up of an improvised border control point, the creation and use of fake passports of the parastatal creation called "Liberland", and the setting up of a kind of barricades (logs) on the Self-proclaimed border and by publicly posting a video in which they announce their readiness to defend their borders by war. He is also aware that the said continuous and planned extremist activities, which appropriate the territory of Gornja Siga, challenge the legitimacy and jurisdiction of Croatian state bodies over the said area, and the current installation of a physical barricade and direct and public expression of readiness for violence against Croatian institutions, represent a danger to the national security of the Republic of Croatia and may have a direct impact on the future settlement of the border dispute between Croatia and Serbia on the Danube River, causing direct damage to the national interests and international reputation of the Republic of Croatia. After he was informed of the subject of the procedure, he was warned that as a party, in terms of the provisions of Art. 30 and 52 of the Law on General Administrative Procedure, (Official Gazette No. 47/09 and 110/21), has the right to participate in the examination procedure, as well as the right to declare all facts and circumstances related to the procedure, gives the following: STATEMENT After presenting the above-mentioned facts, he was given the opportunity to make a statement on the same, in which he declares: I understood what I was being charged with and I can say that I believe that the people who made that report probably now know that Liberland is not a threat to the Republic of Croatia and that it is the biggest economic opportunity for the Republic of Croatia since the Republic of Croatia was founded. Thank you for recognizing our existence, the existence of our borders, travel documents and our security services. I believe that these are neither extremist actions nor incidents, for example not wearing a helmet on an electric quad in the forest is neither an incident nor an extremist activity against Croatia and other similar incidents that were not. We suggest that the Croatian police no longer use misdemeanor law, that is, that they do not use minor offenses against us, and I agree that the Croatian police should use the criminal law in the area of Liberland at the moment if it will not affect the diplomatic staff of Liberland. Criminal acts committed by our diplomatic personnel should be resolved through diplomatic channels. Liberland is an independent country, but it fully recognizes and respects the institutions of the Croatian state and its laws, but on the territory of the Republic of Croatia. I am not a threat to territorial dependence or to the institutions of the Republic of Croatia. The work of the Croatian police is not made more difficult by 50 helmet incidents than by the Croatian bureaucracy. Contrary to the allegations against me, I state that someone from your police came with a proposal that we submit photos of people coming to Liberland, that is, submit their documents in order to speed up the border crossing process, and this is not about obstruction but cooperation. We have automated all the processes required by the Croatian police to enter Liberland in our visa form and on the border website. liberiand.org. When asked by the head of the proceedings, is he aware that the area called Gornja Siga, which is located on the right bank of the Danube, and on which the Republic of Croatia currently supervises and controls with the consent of the Republic of Serbia, is the subject of negotiations on the exact and final demarcation between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia, i.e. that neither the Republic of Croatia nor the Republic of Serbia have ever considered the mentioned area to be nobody's land (lat. terra nullius), the party declares: We know very well that the Republic of Serbia does not consider the area of Gornja Siga as its own from the statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. We received the aforementioned statement by email in 2015, in which the Republic of Serbia considers that Gornja Siga is not the territory of the Republic of Serbia. It is also known that the Republic of Croatia does not consider Gornja Sig as its territory, and in the future, if it wants to succeed in the arbitration procedure, it would be wise not to claim that territory, and that means that both countries renounce that territory. In relation to the alleged threats of war, I state that we have never used violence against Croatian citizens and the Croatian police, nor do we plan to use violence. The same cannot be said for the Croatian police, which can be seen in Niko Omilan's video, which has been seen by 8,000,000 people on YouTube so far. Liberland is a neutral country that wants peaceful and friendly relations with other countries. When asked by the head of the proceedings if there are any members of the family in the Republic of Croatia, he declares that there are none. Jedlička also stated that there are no circumstances in Hungary or the Czech Republic regarding the threat to his life because of his racial, religious or national affiliation, nor because of belonging to a special social group or because of his political work. The Embassy of the Czech Republic was informed about the arrest of Vit Jedlička by official duty. The party is informed that upon re-arriving in the Republic of Croatia, and before the ban on entry and stay in the Republic of Croatia expires, he will be forcibly removed. The minutes have been read and the party does NOT comment on them and declares: I have no objections. The record is compiled in 1 copy. Completed in 10 hours and 35 minutes. Signatures

On Tuesday, October 17, at approximately 10:30 CET, in the full light of day, a dramatic incident unfolded that has left the community of Marina Mateos, Liberland's pioneering settlement, both shocked and outraged. In the Marina, five bicycles stood parked— legally positioned and owned by Mr. Mathias, a respected local settler. Far from being abandoned, these bicycles were not just personal property; they were essential tools of daily life in the settlement. Mr Mathias had plans to use one that very day and to lend the others to fellow settlers. Enter a group of individuals whose actions would soon belie any semblance of lawfulness. These men, bearing a striking resemblance to employees of Hrvatske Šume d.o.o., a state-run enterprise, seemed determined to seize the bicycles by any means necessary. They committed an act of theft and, worse, robbery. We delved into the Law on Forests, which ostensibly governs the activities of Hrvatske Šume d.o.o., and found absolutely no legal basis that would permit such brazen acts of theft in a forest setting. The question then arises: What could possibly justify this blatant disregard for personal property and the rule of law? The forest robbers' audacity was only heightened by the presence of other men who appeared to be Croatian Border Police. As Mr. Mathias and his friends called out for assistance, the men in dark blue uniforms remained eerily silent, offering no intervention as the group, armed with a lorry, advanced toward the bicycles and a defiant Mr Mathias. What transpired next is captured in the following video that is going viral on YouTube and other media. We invite you to watch this eye-opening footage and join the conversation about this unsettling event. Please help us spread the video showing to the world who the robbers are, and help justice be served! In response to the incident, Liberland is taking a dual approach to justice that underscores our commitment to the rule of law and property rights. Firstly, we are reporting the incident to the Croatian police, as the stolen bicycles were taken into Croatian territory. This is mainly aimed at recovering the stolen property. Concurrently, we are initiating proceedings within Liberland's own judicial system, which is designed to uphold the principles of freedom and fairness that are the bedrock of our emerging nation. Those found guilty of infringing upon others' property rights will face penalties, including the forfeiture of Liberland Merits, our national cryptocurrency. We have successfully established the identities of some of the individuals involved in the robbery and will be issuing them summons to appear before the Liberland court.

Liberland is present at the reception of the 112th Anniversary of the Republic of China (Taiwan), and the 30th Anniversary of The Economic, and Cultural Office of Taipei, in Mexico City. On October 4, 2023, Liberland achieved a significant milestone in its diplomatic endeavours when Mr. Fernando Facio Jr., Liberland's Representative to Mexico, was invited and personally recognized by Mr. Armando Cheng, the Ambassador of Taiwan. The recognition took place during a gathering that brought together representatives from various embassies.  The event provided a unique opportunity for delegates to engage in fruitful discussions on a range of topics, including Public International Law, Visas, Technological Investment, Education, Health, and Tourism. This dialogue reflects Liberland's commitment to fostering international cooperation and contributing to global discussions on critical issues. In February, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office sent two representatives the opening of Liberland's representative office in Mexico City.  The reception was more than just a diplomatic encounter; it was a platform for Liberland to reinforce its diplomatic relations and to play a vital role in shaping the global conversation on issues of paramount significance. The event was a testament to the power of unity in diversity and a shared vision of a better, more interconnected world. Liberland continues to build its reputation as a diplomatic player on the global stage, and this event underscores its dedication to collaboration, diplomacy, and contributing positively to the international community. The commitment to promoting peace, and cooperation remains at the core of Liberland's mission.

In a world where the concept of a nation-state is increasingly being questioned, Liberland, the world’s newest sovereign state founded in 2015, is offering a compelling alternative. Liberland's Network State Initiative While the establishment of its permanent settlement has been a significant milestone for Liberland itself, Liberland now seeks to use its newly gained status and influence to help others prosper. Liberland now embarks on realizing its audacious vision to become a global hub for Network States, a transformative vision that could redefine international relations and governance for the 21st century. Liberland: A Pioneer Ahead of Its Time Before the term "Network State" became a buzzword with the publication of the book "The Network State" in 2022, Liberland was already living this concept. Seven years ahead of mainstream recognition, Liberland has been quietly laying the groundwork for a new form of governance that blends digital innovation with physical territory. Unlike many Network State initiatives that exist solely in the digital realm, Liberland has the unique advantage of having a tangible, geographical presence. This dual existence allows it to serve as a living laboratory for reimagining governance, diplomacy, and community in the 21st century. A Sanctuary for Diverse Ideas What makes Liberland an ideal candidate to become the epicenter of Network States is its ideological inclusivity. While its foundational principles are rooted in freedom and tolerance, it transcends partisan labels. This ideological flexibility makes Liberland a fertile ground for a variety of Network States, each with its unique set of ideologies and objectives. Whether it's eco-centric communities like the ecological traditionalists focused on sustainable living or crypto-positive network states like BitNation aiming to revolutionize financial systems, Liberland offers a neutral ground where these diverse entities can engage in constructive dialogue and collaboration. Introducing a New Form of International Law But the vision doesn't stop at ideological inclusivity. Liberland is also breaking new ground in international law. The state is in the process of introducing legislation that would recognize entities "as a network state," a concept distinct from traditional state recognition. This innovative approach allows for more flexible yet formalized diplomatic engagements. It's a modern take on international relations, designed for an era where digital interactions often precede and even outweigh traditional diplomatic activities. This legal innovation could serve as a blueprint for how Network States interact with each other and traditional states, setting a precedent for the future of international diplomacy. A Visionary Alliance for the Future Liberland's ambitions extend far beyond its own borders. It aims to be the cornerstone of a groundbreaking international alliance known as the United Network States. This alliance would bring together Network States and potentially open-minded traditional states to create a new paradigm of international cooperation.  At its core, this alliance would establish a Free Trade Zone, offer seamless mobility for residents, and adopt a unified approach to tackling international crime. It's a vision of a world where the lines between traditional states and Network States blur, giving rise to a more inclusive, cooperative international community. Conclusion: A Paradigm Shift in Global Governance Liberland is not just another country with lofty ideals; it's a transformative vision that could redefine the future of international relations and governance. As the world's first and most advanced Network State, Liberland is uniquely positioned to lead this paradigm shift. It offers a compelling model of what the future could look like—a future where diverse Network States converge, collaborate, and evolve under a common vision of freedom, inclusivity, and technological innovation.  With its Network State initiative, Liberland is laying the groundwork for a new chapter in global governance, one that promises to be as revolutionary as it is inclusive.

As the Liberland delegation make their case for sovereignty to US legislators, they also highlight the difficulties they’ve been having with Croatian authorities. “It is my position that Croatia should stop harassing American, British and Australian citizens just for wanting to visit Liberland,”  said Foreign Minister Thomas Walls. The Liberland delegation went to Washington, DC this week to attend the gala of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), one of the most influential groups in US politics. At the “50 Years, 50 States” gala dinner held at the National Portrait Gallery, President Vít Jedlička, Vice President Bogie Wozniak, Government Affairs Liaison Kathleen Alcorn, Finance Minister Navid Saberin and Minister of Foreign Affairs Thomas Walls met with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich as well as current US Senators, Congresspersons and Governors and state legislators. On the day after the gala event, President Jedlička presented the Order of Merit 1st Class to ALEC CEO Lisa Nelson for inviting us to be part of the ALEC gala as well as several past events. “It makes absolutely no sense that Croatia singles out US citizens and bans them from Croatia and the EU just for wanting to visit Liberland.” As the Liberland delegation make their case for sovereignty to US legislators, they also highlight the difficulties they’ve been having with Croatian authorities. “I know of several Ameircan citizens who were taken by police and banned from the country," said Foreign Minister Thomas Walls. “Some of them didn't go anywhere near Liberland. It makes absolutely no sense that they’re singling out U.S. citizens and banning them from Croatia – and in some cases from the European Union – just for wanting to visit Liberland.” “Fellow NATO countries should not treat each others’ citizens like this," said Walls. "We know of UK, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand citizens who got similar treatment from the cops. Whoever is ordering the police to harass these people is doing a great job of making Croatia seem like a very unfriendly place for visitors.” On 25th August 2023, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a Travel Advisory warning all non-Schengen citizens, non-EU citizens and Serbian nationals against travelling to Croatia due to increased scrutiny and harassment by Croatian police. Travelers from outside the EU or Schengen Zone are asked to reconsider travel to Croatia due to arbitrary enforcement of laws, including in relation to bans from Croatia and the EU/EEA, and risk of wrongful detention. The Liberland delegation received invitations to address the legislatures of several US states to present the case for Liberland. It should be noted that in many cases, the path to recognition of the independence of the former Soviet Republics by the United States started with initiatives undertaken by US state legislatures, after which the US established formal diplomatic relations with each of these new countries. In addition to visiting US Senate offices including the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, the Liberland delegation is paying visits to several offices of members of the House of Representatives.

Liberland Radio just released its newest episode with updates on the recent events. In a captivating episode of Radio Liberland, the airwaves were filled with a blend of entertainment, nostalgia, and motivation. The episode began with a delightful audio segment from the cartoon, the policeman who teaches Peppa Pig and her friends to ride their bikes safely. This whimsical segment was artfully woven into the rhythmic beats of the song "Policeman." Traditionally interspersed with news and advertisements, recent broadcasts have shifted focus to the poignant events of 21st September. On this day, Croatian authorities took aggressive actions against Liberland. Yet, the station's jingles have chosen inspiration over despair. One particularly moving jingle voiced, "We'll never forget the 21st of September... but we remain undeterred by adversity... The best is yet to come!" Conceived as Liberland's musical heartbeat, Radio Lib was initiated to uplift spirits, especially during challenging times like border closures. The station's playlist, a harmonious blend of timeless classics and contemporary anthems, resonates deeply with the ethos of freedom and liberty that Liberland champions. As it continues to broadcast, Radio Lib stands as a testament to the nation's unwavering spirit and hope for a brighter future. You can listen to the full episode at https://soundcloud.com/radioliberland/biting-the-bullet-up The official site of the radio: https://radio.ll.land More information about Liberland Radio's history: Radio Liberland (Radio Lib) was born with the intention of sending the country's first music radio broadcast from Liberland mainland. The purpose was mainly to boost the morale of Liberlanders by showing that it still was possible to, without special training, visit the country at a time when the borders were closed. After 6th August however, Radio Lib was developed further, and more episodes are planned for future releases.

It has been 11 days since the unfortunate events of 21 September, and as we make our way to Washington, DC to seek support for our cause, we find ourselves in a moment of reflection. The journey has been long and challenging, but our resolve remains unbreakable. Day 9 After the 21 September Attack  In the aftermath of the attack on Liberland, our vessels - the Liberty, the Bitcoin Freedom, the Swan, and even the Yacht House - have faced their fair share of challenges. But it's important to remember that ships can be repaired and improved. What truly defines Liberland is not our vessels but the unwavering spirit of our people - the courageous fighters and dedicated supporters who continue to stand by our side in these trying times. Day 8 After the 21 September Attack As we sail down the Danube with Serbia to our right and Croatia to our left, the vision of Liberland stands straight ahead, undeterred by recent setbacks. Our journey continues, and while we encounter difficulties, we remain resolute. In the spirit of transparency, we'd like to address some of the challenges we're facing. The recent influx of settlers, while heartening, has created logistical challenges. The limited space for sleeping, food, and water has led to overcrowding on some of our vessels. Newcomers, arriving with the best of intentions, may not fully grasp the current realities on the ground. The Croatian police, in their interactions with us, oscillate between "nice guy" gestures and waiting for signs of weakness. It's crucial for us to stand strong and maintain our resolve. As for the dangers that may not be immediately apparent, the police hold a monopoly on violence and are armed. While documenting their actions is important, it's equally vital to exercise caution, especially when dealing with officers who may disregard the law. Conditions on Liberland soil have been challenging. Beyond the discomfort, there are concerns about living conditions, disease, and the presence of bugs and mosquitoes. Winter looms ahead, presenting additional challenges. However, let us not forget the dedicated support team in Zmajavac, who tirelessly brought in food and supplies under trying conditions. They are the backbone of our efforts and deserve our utmost appreciation. Our community consists of individuals with diverse motivations - some idealistic, others driven by different incentives. Regardless of these individual factors, our collective determination to maintain a presence on Liberland soil remains unshaken. We are not backing down. As we continue to navigate through these turbulent waters, Liberland's commitment to liberty and justice burns brighter than ever. The challenges we face only serve to strengthen our resolve, and together, we remain firmly united in the pursuit of our shared ideals. Live and Let Live!

A joint statement by the Office of the President and the Ministry of Justice. Background and Sequence of Events The initial settlement was established near the inaugural Border Crossing Point between Croatia and Liberland. The settlement was primarily managed by Jan Urban and Martin Kutzendorfer for approximately three months.  On 6th August, the Border Crossing Point was officially declared, marking the commencement of the Permanent Settlement. Following this, approximately five individuals took up semi-permanent residence at Jefferson Square in Liberland, while the Border Crossing Point continued to be inhabited, facilitated by the amenities provided by the boat named Liberty. Stranding of Liberty and Initial Response Due to escalating activities and a growing list of priorities, the boat Liberty became stranded for the first time. Immediate efforts were made to organize a rescue operation. Vít Jedlička contacted the Port Authority for assistance. Contrary to expectations, the Port Authority dispatched police and inspectors who: Asserted that the boat was in a deteriorated condition; and Issued misdemeanour charges against the captain, Martin Kutzendorfer, alleging negligence (charges were subsequently contested). Police Intervention and Subsequent Developments Attempts at rescue were further complicated by police interference, resulting in the failure of the rescue operation. Consequently, external assistance was sought from Hydrogradnia, which intervened on 21st August. The police, however, prevented the boat from docking at a secure harbour in Marina Mateos, directing it instead to Zeleny Otok. Legal and Administrative Challenges at Batina Upon arrival in Batina (at these coordinates), the Port Authority issued an order prohibiting the boat's departure and levied additional misdemeanour charges related to maintenance and conduct (also contested). Despite numerous attempts to secure permission for the boat's relocation, the authorities remained unresponsive. Arrests and Deportations On 7th September, Vít Jedlička, Martin Kutzendorfer, and Jan Urban were arrested and subsequently deported for a period of five years on grounds of "national security," effectively incapacitating our primary navigational personnel. Mr. Vladimir Knazevic was subjected to a series of contradictory legal actions by Croatian authorities. Initially, he was penalized for failing to register at an accommodation facility. Subsequently, he incurred an additional fine for not being physically present at the registered accommodation. Upon his departure from Croatia—a requisite step for compliance with the aforementioned orders—Mr. Knazevic was issued a 30-day entry ban. The rationale provided for this prohibition was "the potential for committing misdemeanours" and "lack of justifiable reasons for entry." As far as we can tell, this is a case of "guilty until proven innocent", which has no place in a Rule of Law-based country. Current Status and Impediments The boat Liberty became stranded again due to fluctuating water levels in the Danube. Despite multiple attempts to facilitate a rescue, efforts have been systematically thwarted. Information has come to light indicating a concerted effort by the Border Police to disseminate false information about the settlement and its key figures. Moreover, there appears to be a campaign to discredit and harm any individuals or entities providing assistance to Liberland. As of 27th September, both Croatian and Serbian police have initiated inquiries into the ownership of the boat Liberty, and there is confirmed intent to confiscate the vessel. It is our assessment that the ongoing predicament is a result of collusion between the Border Police and the Port Authority with the objective of expropriating, e.g. stealing, the Liberty boat. Future considerations As of the present moment, the vessel known as "Liberty" has been beyond our control for a period exceeding two weeks. Despite our efforts to secure the vessel through professional security services, the agency we engaged reported an untenable level of intimidation from the Border Police, rendering continued collaboration with us unfeasible. We intend to implement precautionary measures to facilitate the vessel's salvage as water levels rise. We are working to level the vessel so that it is safe. When the water rises, we plan to send a crew and a skipper to operate it to the extend to which this is legally possible.  We intend to rescue the vessel and bring it to safety. It has come to our attention through credible sources that the Captainate harbours intentions to seize and relocate "Liberty" to its own port. We wish to make it unequivocally clear that any such action undertaken without our explicit consent constitutes theft, as far as we are concerned. Furthermore, there are circulating rumours suggesting that a comprehensive search of "Liberty" is being planned by law enforcement agencies, ostensibly to uncover evidence of alleged criminal activities by our President or other proponents of the Liberland initiative. In response to this, we assert the following: Any evidence discovered in such a manner was not present during the period when "Liberty" was under our full control. This was prior to the removal of our captains and our subsequent abandonment of the property’s supervision, enforced by the Border Police. Consequently, any evidence found under these circumstances must be considered as having been introduced or planted by third parties opposed to Liberland’s mission of statehood, illegally, as well as without our consent, agency, or approval.

Liberland's motto, "To live and let live," reflects its commitment to personal and economic freedom. The Constitution ensures limited governmental interference in its citizens' lives.

Reckless Destruction of Houses and Removal of Belongings LIBERLAND, 22 SEPTEMBER – On the morning of Thursday, 21 September, a private company under orders from the Zupan (Prefecture) Inspector acting on behalf of the Croatian Forests (Hrvatske Šume d.o.o.) made an unannounced extraterritorial incursion into Liberland and demolished and removed Liberland property. Liberlanders living on the land were threatened with arrest if they interfered.  Croatian police escorted the demolition crews who committed this act of indiscriminate destruction. This assault was committed without warning and without the forest company or police issuing any reasons or justification.  Persons present were not given any time to gather their own personal belongings, much less their equipment. Thankfully, no one was injured, but our property was damaged and confiscated.  This has occurred on the International Day of Peace, of all days.  Some of our buildings and equipment that were destroyed and/or removed: Two well-constructed garden houses and one marina house One well-constructed and fully functioning field kitchen with multiple refrigeration units and stoves Generators and electronic equipment Quad bike, bicycles and other transportation Food and other supplies Personal belongings Croatian law enforcement officers and employees of Hrvatske Šume d.o.o. involved in this operation have acted unprofessionally, and have been insulting and obnoxious to our people. We asked for a written notice or report and we were told this is no report and there won’t be one.  We have documented this incident and the individuals involved with photos and video, and we are already pursuing legal action against these acts in both Croatia and Liberland’s jurisdiction. The settlement remains on the land and is resisting these attempts at breaking their will.  Videos from the invasion (link) Photos from invasion (link)   Croatian demolition of Liberland structures goes back to September 2017, when the original hunting lodge (lovački dom) was demolished. In 2023, we established Jefferson Square in front of the old house and began excavation and rebuilding of the old lodge and its basement.   Envisioned reconstruction of the Presidential Palace The Free Republic of Liberland was proclaimed on 13 April 2015 on this parcel of land, Gornja Siga, in accordance with international law regarding terra nullius and bona vacantia, as the land remained unclaimed by either Serbia or Croatia for over 25 years. Liberland has the ability to bring significant investment, jobs and tourism to this economically depressed region. Map Our legal position supporting our claim is clear: that the territory has never been part of Croatia and falls outside of its borders. This has been confirmed in their diplomatic correspondence with Serbia as well as its complete absence in all official published maps of Croatia. The Croatian border police are duly authorized to conduct activities aimed at safeguarding both Croatia's national boundaries and the broader Schengen borders within Liberland. We not only acknowledge this authority but also welcome it, as their efforts contribute to enhancing the overall security of our own nation. In addition, Serbia has relinquished its authority over the territory. There are no competing claims to land in Gornja Siga other than the Free Republic of Liberland and this land has no state affiliation with Croatia or Serbia. We seek to work with the Croatians to find a peaceful, mutually beneficial solution for our countries. Liberland officials have always acted in accordance with international law and to avoid confrontations with Croatian border police. Our position is that people of Liberland should be able to visit and live in the area without harassment or arrest. Our citizens are not building on Croatian soil, but in their own country, the Free Republic of Liberland, and we are not a threat or risk to Croatia in any way. Image of Sergio Bianchi hotel design Liberland wishes to become a good, reliable partner with Croatia. The settlement will be rebuilt immediately. Plans for the next months include the construction of a hotel [link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEa9CQVsjik ], children’s park, adventure tours, boating, cycling and much more. We also look forward to working with the Croatian state forest company, Hrvatske Šume d.o.o., on future harmonious cooperation and to avoid conflict. Our project aims to be one of the biggest opportunities that Croatia has to bring investment, jobs and tourism to a region that has been languishing economically for some time. We have already spent considerable funds in the local economy in Osijek-Baranja County and this can only grow as more people want to visit the area - with the approval and participation of our closest neighbours, we can develop those opportunities together.
