>>> Željka Laslavić and Boris Mišević are the recipients of the ‘Hrvoje Mateljić’ award

The award was established by Lider in memory of the prematurely deceased colleague, journalist Hrvoje Mateljić. In addition to preserving the memory of Hrvoje, it aims to recognize colleagues who persist in high-quality and analytical journalism.

Hrvoje Mateljić (1974 – 2008) was a professional journalist for 12 years before he tragically passed away. He covered the telecommunications sector, mergers, and acquisitions, and demonstrated the breadth of his knowledge in macroeconomic topics.
