Going to Ljubljana. Clara (Austria) put a lot of effort in the logistics and organizational issuess of the march. At the beginning of the journey, CMFA was supported by many people, voluntary from their homes. Further the journey, the march was more and more on its own.

Going to Croatian embassy.

Anna, founder of the march, waiting to enter the premises of Croatia embassy. The whole action was filmmed by march's documentalist and photographed by me so it looked bit awkward. On many occasions before and after there was lot of hoo-ha abot the CMFA actions. It gave some an impression of staged-celebrity action.
