This conversation was recorded during our trip to Croatia & Serbia and begins with us gathering our thoughts on the Liberland project after a fews days exploring the area. A lot had happened by this point including me being taken away by the Croatian border police and instructed to leave the country and Liberland becoming flooded and the road into it impassable. Listen on for more including our opinions on where we see the future of the project. Skip to about the 1 hour mark for the second half of the discussion which centres around Hynek’s work at Tipolis. There are some great insights here into the process of identifying suitable locations for Free City projects and approaching governments etc. Enjoy the conversation. TIMESTAMPS: 0:30 - Introduction.
