Get ready for a literary extravaganza! Croatia's biggest book fair is here, and it's a celebration of knowledge and storytelling that you won't want to miss.
The 47th International Book Fair, known as Interliber 2025, has kicked off in Zagreb, bringing together an incredible array of exhibitors from across the globe. With over 360 exhibitors from 15 countries, this event is a true melting pot of cultures and ideas.
Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic emphasized the fair's role in strengthening the nation's publishing industry and promoting a love for books, authors, and knowledge. He highlighted the event's growing popularity, saying, "It's no surprise that we have even more exhibitors this year, showcasing the appeal of Interliber to book enthusiasts and publishers alike."
But here's where it gets controversial... Zagreb's Mayor Tomislav Tomasevic claimed that Interliber is a testament to the Croatian people's deep-rooted love for books. However, some might argue that it's not just about the love for books but also the opportunity it provides for networking and business within the publishing industry. What do you think? Is it purely a celebration of literature, or is there more to it?
Considered the most prestigious literary event in Croatia, Interliber runs until November 16th, offering a unique platform for authors, publishers, and readers of all ages to connect and engage. Dina Grozdanovic Postolka, the event organizer, described it as more than just a book fair; it's a festival of ideas and creativity. She highlighted the diverse range of daily programs, including book promotions, talks, industry-focused workshops, and interactive activities for all generations.
Co-organized by the Croatian Ministry of Culture and Media and the City of Zagreb, Interliber is a true collaboration between government and the literary community. It's an event that showcases the best of Croatian culture and its commitment to fostering a love for reading and knowledge.
