Environment - current issues:
Air pollution (from metallurgical plants) and resulting acid rain is damaging the forests; coastal pollution from industrial and domestic waste; landmine removal and reconstruction of infrastructure consequent to 1992-95 civil strife
Disputes - international:
dispute remains with Bosnia and Herzegovina over several small disputed sections of the boundary related to maritime access that hinders ratification of the 1999 border agreement; the Croatia-Slovenia land and maritime boundary agreement, which would have ceded most of Pirin Bay and maritime access to Slovenia and several villages to Croatia, remains un-ratified and in dispute; Slovenia also protests Croatia's 2003 claim to an exclusive economic zone in the Adriatic; as a European Union peripheral state, Slovenia imposed a hard border Schengen regime with non-member Croatia in December 2007
Illicit drugs:
transit point along the Balkan route for Southwest Asian heroin to Western Europe; has been used as a transit point for maritime shipments of South American cocaine bound for Western Europe
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
I don't think it's really all that funny or tasteful and I honestly think their intent to "cause a stir" backfired. The New Yorker has always been a boring magazine with boring stories that only boring people read. I don't think anyone can really get mad at them for publishing that cover since their magazine is really only useful for recycling.
Wiki doesn't say anything.
You don't know what the war 1991.-1995.(landmine removal and reconstruction of infrastructure consequent to 1992-95 civil strife) did to my country. So please don't act smart.
"Air pollution (from metallurgical plants) and resulting acid rain is damaging the forests; coastal pollution from industrial and domestic waste" - We're not a industrial country. The Italian river Po is the problem of the acid rain. It's damaging forests, forests are in the north-western part of the country which is called Lika. The northern industrial zone of Italy (Torino, Milano) throw all the garbage into that river which ---condenstates??--- , the western wind blows it into my country and there the acid rain is created.
"transit point along the Balkan route for Southwest Asian heroin to Western Europe; has been used as a transit point for maritime shipments of South American cocaine bound for Western Europe " - Oh no, drug smuggling through my country, look at the whole Balkan... It's all poor. Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, you don't know really what war did here and communism. We were all part of Yugoslavia so please don't act smart and Wiki doesn't say ****, come here, live and then write your own article on Wiki, ok?

I'd just like to say one thing, because it irritates the **** out of me. I'm sick and tired of you people deciding what's best for everyone else without asking or discussing it first. The sandbox was very rarely used by moderators, site owners and admins, it was used by the regular member to have "fun". Flame baiting, spamming or whatever, I think it would have been only fair to ask what everyone else thought first. Regardless of the outcome, it would have been a lot less selfish (because removing it like this is) and would have gotten a much better response.
