Enes Cerimagic, one of the leaders of the anti-project campaign and referendum organizers, smiles as he talks to Reuters in Croatia's UNESCO protected medieval town of Dubrovnik April 28, 2013.

That's precisely why an Israeli-Croatian consortium began planning a billion-euro golf resort there in 2006. Seven years on, construction has yet to start.
