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.

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. Committed to principles of minimal government, voluntary taxation, and individual freedom, Liberland leverages blockchain technology to deliver decentralized hyperdemocracy to its citizens worldwide.

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.

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. First Lunar Mission — 2 March 2025 Liberland’s flag was delivered to the Moon as a digital file aboard Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander under NASA’s CLPS program, touching down near Mons Latreille in Mare Crisium—a proud leap for our young nation. 2. Second Lunar Mission — Planned for Late 2025 A second lunar mission is scheduled later this year, again carrying a physical Liberland flag to reinforce our symbolic mark on the Moon. The names of the Liberlanders who have supported the project and will be carried to the Moon are: Navid Saberin, Kenny Li, Vít Jedlička, Peter Zalar, Joby Weeks, Dasha Weeks, Jan Schluter 3. Prime Minister Justin Sun’s Spaceflight — 3 August 2025 On 3 August 2025, Prime Minister Justin Sun became the youngest Chinese-born commercial astronaut, flying aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-34. Justin is also the first head of state to travel to space. His flight placed him among the select 624 individuals who have ever reached Earth orbit—a significant milestone for both him and Liberland’s aspirations in space governance . 4. First Commercial Asteroid Mission — The Lifeship Now, Liberland is embarking on its most daring adventure yet: a commercial Lifeship mission to a near-Earth asteroid. On this mission, the Liberland flag—bearing engravings of citizen names—will travel into deep space, marking the first commercial asteroid mission to carry a national flag, and highlighting our pioneering spirit. Citizen Honor: Your Name on the Asteroid Flag All new citizens who finalize their citizenship by 4 September 2025, and all existing citizens who contribute at least US$2,000, will have their names engraved on the Liberland flag that journeys to the asteroid—cementing your place in history among the stars.

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.

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

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). What’s included: All legal and administrative costs related to obtaining temporary residency. What’s not included: Travel to Paraguay, your stay there, and optional DHL shipping of your documents.

Costs of living in Paraguay are among the lowest in Latin America. Once you obtain residency, you can become a Paraguayan tax resident without a minimum stay requirement. 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). Legal Support: We connect you directly with our dedicated English-speaking Paraguayan lawyers, who guide you step-by-step.

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!

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.

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.

First state to run its meritocratic government on the Blockchain - you can participate today Since its founding in 2015, Liberland has pioneered a bold idea: a sovereign nation built on blockchain. From voting to business registration, the entire governance of Liberland happens digitally—and transparently—on-chain. Even land titles and legal rights are to be issued as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and you can already register them today. At the heart of this ecosystem is the Liberland Blockchain, a public Layer-1 network built using Substrate, the same powerful framework behind Polkadot. This chain is secured, open, and governed by the people. It uses two native tokens: LLD (Liberland Dollar): for payments and economic activity LLM (Liberland Merit): for political power and participation NFTs: hold, trade, or make a new one! To explore it yourself, visit blockchain.liberland.org. While most functions are view-only for non-citizens, anyone can install the Liberland Wallet (see the “Wallet” tab), stake LLD as a Nominator, and earn rewards—similar to earning interest in a savings account, but decentralized. Liberland Dollar (LLD) Where to Get LLD Liberland Dollar (LLD) is already widely available. You can buy it on both centralized exchanges like MEXC, Coinstore, Emirex, BitMart, Bifinance, and Biconomy, and decentralized platforms such as Uniswap, Raydium, and Sunswap. LLD is: Fast and secure Easy to store in most major crypto wallets Integrated into the Liberland economy Soon, LLM will also be listed, expanding citizens’ ability to engage politically. Payments Made Easy Liberland is currently finalizing a modular, open-source payment gateway, which will soon be available on GitHub. Businesses and developers will be able to integrate this tool into websites, online shops, or the Liberland Market—an e-commerce space for Liberland-based entrepreneurs. More importantly, LLD will be accepted for every transaction involving Liberland: from company registration to citizenship procedures. This helps create a true LLD economy—where digital cash meets political freedom. Smart Tokenomics Inspired by economist Milton Friedman, Liberland has designed its tokenomics to be: Modest in initial supply Inflation-limited Governed by token holders The result? A national currency that serves you, with the comfort of fiat money, but the freedom, security, and privacyof crypto. Latest LLD Developments LLD is listed on both Bifinance and Biconomy, with additional listings on the horizon to increase the user accessibility Liberland passports are now accepted for KYC on Bifinance and Biconomy, allowing you to verify your identity without relying on legacy documents. LLD is now supported on Ledger, enabling secure, hardware-based custody of your assets. Solana Pay integration is live, making it possible to use LLD for real-world purchases. Watch President Vít Jedlička buy a Ledger wallet using LLD in this video. Liberland Companies Are you an e-resident? If yes, you can register a company on Liberland’s blockchain in minutes. Here’s how it works: Visit the Liberland Market and select your company type. Pay a small one-time fee (usually between 1–250 LLD, often free for simple setups). Sign the “Goodboi” contract (most users do). Your company is now live—on-chain and sovereign. Liberland companies face minimal bureaucracy and no forced taxes. You are bound only by Liberland’s voluntary and transparent rules. This makes Liberland one of the most business-friendly environments in the world, especially for: Tech firms Crypto developers Web3 startups Liberland entities can: Hold and trade assets Issue tokens or shares Sign enforceable smart contracts Use blockchain-based identity and compliance tools Please note: When doing business abroad, local laws of that country still apply. A Government You Can See Transparency is fundamental to Liberland. Even if you’re not a citizen, you can scroll down on the Liberland Blockchain site and view: Congress Members and their Motions Senate decisions and reserves Ministries’ budgets and reports, including the Ministry of Finance’s real-time treasury overview If you’re a citizen, you can: Vote on legislation and candidates Run for office (e.g., Congress) Propose referenda Participate in direct democracy All of this is done through the LLM token and documented at docs.liberland.org. Investing in the Danube Region Liberland’s vision is not just digital. In 2025, it launched a $30 million regional development initiative to support Croatian and Serbian communities near its territory. The plan includes: Reviving local shipyards Building coworking hubs and tech incubators Installing solar energy parks Promoting eco-tourism Half the funds go to Croatian communities, and half to Serbian ones. This is not about isolation—it’s a regional partnership for mutual growth. Liberland may even tokenize development projects, letting citizens and e-residents invest directly and transparently in the region’s growth—owning digital shares in the real economy. The Bigger Picture: Freedom as a System Everything in Liberland is designed around liberty as a practical system, not just a slogan. Its blockchain runs on proven technology (Polkadot’s Substrate). Its currency is listed and usable globally. Its government is visible, auditable, and on-chain. Its businesses enjoy sovereignty and low red tape. Its citizens hold power through smart contracts and tokens. Liberland is more than a country. It’s a sandbox for a freer world—where governance, money, and law run on code instead of bureaucracy.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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?

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? 🚀

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.

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.
