During an 2005 interview for the weekly paper Nacional, one of the show's creators, Števo Šinik (more prominently known as Stiv Cinik) accused the director of Croatia Film, Željko Zima, of censorship and hindering the original vision of the project. He alleged Zima took control over development removing portions of the script and attempting to discourage certain practices to prevent or downplay criticism towards members of the government.[12] [13]
