The president of the self-proclaimed micro-nation of Liberland — the world's newest state, which exists on a remote patch of land in southern Europe — was arrested this weekend for attempting to enter his own self-professed country.

Czech politician Vit Jedlicka — the leader of Liberland, an unclaimed, 2.7-mile area between Croatia and Serbia, also known as Gornja Siga — told VICE News that he was fined 1,200 Kuna ($177) by Croatian police for the alleged trespass, but has only paid the deposit on the fine so far.

"It was [the] minimal fine possible, if we had committed [trespass] — which we did not," Jedlicka said.

"I really consider it a very good price to have the possibility to have such a long, and such an open-hearted talk with the Croatian police and with the Croatian justice," he added.
