Miho Dobrasin wins European Young Journalist Award

Croatian Times

A Croatian journalist has won the European Young Journalist Award for his article on the Greek economic crisis "Greece is again writing European History."

Miho Dobrasin from the business daily Poslovni Dnevnik received the award in Istanbul from the European Commission for reports related to the European Union and its expansion.

Accepting the award Dobrasin said that no other state so far has experienced as grueling process of accession as Croatia. "Every time it makes a step ahead, the EU member states provide another obstacle, which makes negative perception about membership grow among the ordinary citizens."

Petr Drulak, from the International Relations Institute in Prague said that after Croatia no other state will be given a guarantee of membership. "Currently there are is no more absorption capacity, so in the next five to six years further expansion is unlikely."

The Commissioner for Enlargement Stefan Fule said: "At the moment, as negotiations with candidate countries are continuing, the media has a key role in explaining the expansion process to the European citizens."

Dobrasina's text, which was published in February in Poslovni Dnevnik, was judged as the most successful and mature journalistic work, the Croatian daily Jutarnji List writes.

"The article explained - clearly and objectively - the situation tied to the Greek economic crisis, as well as the position of European Institution and EU citizens towards Greece."
