-  Can we always control every corner of Gorski Kotar?

- We are fighting with experienced fighters. The communist movement here is very strong. These lands gave a lot of fighters in the Spanish Civil War. We arrested some of them. Some fled, they are hiding on Tuhobić. We installed barbed wire everywhere. 

- That's not enough! We have to surround them, to tear out their roots. Every village has to have an Italian judge and an Italian teacher. This will become a peaceful little corner, an Italian Switzerland.

"No internationalist form of struggle can be carried out successfully if there is not a mutual exchange of experiences among the people, if the people do not succeed in breaking out of the Balkanisation on the international, continental, and national planes which imperialism is striving to maintain."

Without a particular reason she recommends us a nearby pub and says:

- They play great music there. Do you like Guns N'Roses? - No. - Do you like Def Leppard? - No. - AC/DC? - No. - Bob Marley? - No. - What do you like? - Amyl and the Sniffers.
