Croats ask the Virgin Mary to save them from the EU

A group of Croatians are putting their faith in God in the hope that they will not have to join the European Union.

A series of posters have gone up around the Adriatic port of Split showing the image of the Virgin Mary with the message: "Please save us from entering the EU."



The message adds that the EU is evil and will bring GM food, pollution, crime and spiralling debt for average citizens.

It concludes: "What else do we get with entering the EU." Police are now investigating whether the billboards that were not signed are illegal.
