In the 'best audio/video product' category, two reportages were awarded, on Rome and Italy. In addition, a series of articles published in the Italian-language daily newspaper 'La voce del popolo' was selected with a special mention for the constant attention paid to the development of the North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley project.
The selection of the winning works was carried out by a Commission consisting of the Ambassador. Trichilo (Honorary President), the IIC Director, the President of the Association of Croatian Journalists and journalists from the leading Croatian media. During the ceremony, Ambassador Trichilo hoped that the initiative would stimulate Croatian journalists to contribute with their work to an even more widespread knowledge of Italy.
