We have freedom of speech in Croatia too (I live there) and those guys were arrested exactly because they were treating openly to kill him among other things how they would like to harm him. So, it wasn't pure criticism or expression of different opinion why they were arrested.

That makes sense.... I don't know anything about Croatian law but threatening to kill a major politician is probably illegal in every country.
Yeah, I think so too, it's probably illegal in every country.
But in Croatia, it's not only threatening to kill a major politician against the law, it's threatening to kill anyone (no matter who that person is or does it work like genitor or it's a president of the country). And it's not only the law it's one of the main constitutional rights, saying: "Every human being has the right to life." Accordingly, there is no death penalty, as well.
It's illegal to threaten anyone's life or any other threats of violence in America too... I actually talk about it in this post. However, it's illegal to even joke about killing the president here.
