Looking for a Co-Publisher

I've been looking for a co-publisher who'd share the publishing costs of the Yippie book with the original publisher, Mr. Gábor Pados and his Golyós Toll company. I did found such a collaborator, in the person of Mr. László Moldován, owner of the Katalizator Publishers. Yet it seems Mr. Pados is not too keen on making a deal with Mr. Moldován, he keeps on postponing a meeting, on which they could agree upon the conditions of their collaboration. I am rather sure that the reason of Mr. Pados's refusal to publish the book is not financial, but purely political. Just as he has mentioned to me on several occasions: he is simply afraid to publish a book on civil disobedience. He is in close contacts with the troubled ruling Socialist Party. He is afraid to state this reason openly, that's why first he came up with his financial difficulties (an obvious lie), and that's why he is now refusing to meet with a potential business partner. I can't do anything in this stupid situation. Even though I have a signed contract with Mr. Pados, which he is refusing to fulfill, I can't take him to court, because I don't have money to fill a claim and hire a lawyer.
