As has been discovered, that doesn't prevent some other state from doing violence to you.

The irony of doing this in former Yugoslavia is astonishing. Yes, states can fragment and borders can move .. at a considerable cost in human life. You can see it happening today in Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as the much more visible attempt by Russia to move the borders of Ukraine.

Again, this is surely not a new discovery for these people. TFA is obviously their biased explanation of events. But the behavior of the Croatian authorities could still be "surprising" if it was substantially different from past interactions. E.g. lack of formal written notice.
