The event will be organised by the Trade Union of Croatian Journalists (SNH) and the Croatian Journalists Association (HND).
At last year's conference in Spain's Almeria, SNH and HND won the right to organise this year's event in Croatia among a tough competition, primarily thanks to the support of representatives of journalists' associations from the European Union's Mediterranean member states.
International Federation of Journalists Secretary-General Aidan White suggested on that occasion that the Porec conference address journalists' labour and professional rights, and that SNH and HND representatives present Croatia's legal and practical solutions.
SNH president Jasmina Popovic has said she expects the journalists from the Mediterranean to support at the Porec event their Croatian colleagues in the exercise of their rights, notably their road to EU membership.
The Porec meeting is also expected to pool journalists from Croatian neighbouring countries and representatives of IFJ and European Federation of Journalists steering bodies.
