“Moving On” Presented in Zagreb

01 02 2008  A presentation of the publication “Moving On: Overcoming Barriers to a European Future” was held in Zagreb on Monday, January 28.

The occasion was to mark the completion of the Balkan fellowship for journalistic excellence for 2007, an initiative of the Robert Bosch Stiftung and ERSTE Foundation in cooperation with the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network.

Dragana Zarkovic Obradovic, manager of the Fellowship programme, presented the publication, and used this opportunity to announce the launch of the Fellowship for 2008.

Last year's fellow from Croatia, Davor Konjikusic, also took part in the launch, and shared with the guests his experiences about the programme. He encouraged journalists to apply and use this unique opportunity to realise their own investigative projects.

He talked about the topic of his own article, which highlighted the issue of inter-cultural cooperation in the Balkans.

All journalists attending expressed a keen interest in the programme, while information about the book and the programme for next year was carried by HINA news agency and on web portal Javno.hr. A number of media outlets said they would review the book and republish some of the fellows’ articles.

All articles in the book deal with the issue of mobility. They can be found in pdf form on the website http://fellowship.birn.eu.com in the local languages, as well as in English and German.

The articles are the product of investigative work by last year’s fellows, and can be republished free of charge.
