May 2008  

Dear Friends and Business Partners
Sometimes, the seasons seem to fly by in Zagreb. So many events have already become part of the city’s traditions. As spring slowly turns into summer, many of them have started moving from their indoor venues onto the streets and squares of Zagreb. There is always something new being added to the calendar of events as an additional expression of welcome to our guests. It is not by accident that they recognize this hospitality and are taken in by the city’s charm, which is reflected in the statistical data.
 
Animafest

Promotion
Zagreb in the Eyes of Students
How to present Zagreb to younger generations? Students in Zagreb certainly have interesting and original ideas on how to do this. Of the 11 competing teams, two teams shared first place. One winner was a promotional brochure featuring famous characters as tour guides (authors: Purger Team -Petra Mironović, Zrinka Kovačević, Gordana Vranješ, Goran Rađenović) and the other winner was a practical guide through the streets of Zagreb with an accompanying CD (Imation Group - Andrija Sabol, Siniša Topalović).
