Kosta Apostolov Solev, also known as Kosta Racin (1908 - 1943), was a Macedonian revolutionary and poet who is considered the founder of modern Macedonian literature.
The Croatian ambassador was honoured with the award for promoting Macedonia's culture and literature.
The award-giving ceremony will be held during a literary festival which is held in Racin's honor in his home town of Veles every year. This year, the festival will be held on 9-10 June.
