Thomas is Liberland's minister of foreign affairs and I caught up with him at ARK, the so called ‘Liberland village’ located just over the border from Liberland’s territory in Serbia. If you’re new to the story then I would say that this interview is one to be listened to in conjunction with the two other Liberland podcasts I’ve recorded recently. One with the president Vít Jedlička in episode 58 and the other with my Free Cities Foundation colleague Hynek Fencl in episode 82. In this episode I’m probing a little deeper into the project searching for more information about the government and how it works plus updates on some of the recent diplomatic and political events that are shaping the future of Liberland. Thomas also gave me his predictions for the timeline going forward and we discuss the best strategies that might see the brightest future for the project. Enjoy the conversation.
