This year’s seventh issue of Matica magazine was released in mid July, as usual featuring many fascinating articles from the homeland and around the world. The cover photo of the Croatian and European flags is from the feature article on Croatian accession to full European Union membership.
The latest issue also offers articles on the 47th CFU junior tamburitza festival held in Zagreb, the Orlić family of Costa Rica that hails from the island of Krk and has produced a Costa Rican president, Ivica Košak who leads the Croatian Culture Community of Wiesbaden and much, much more…
Dear Matica magazine readers around the world, it is in your interest and ours that our monthly records every notable event from the places you live. We invite you, therefore, to work with us. Write us news items and send photos—work with us in creating the content of Matica magazine, by writing about what you would like to read about. Let’s make Matica a real bridge of Croatian unity.
