Each year, one country will be the festival's partner, presenting its literature and culture. This year, it is Sweden.
More than 20 Croatian publishers will take part in the festival's programmes. The event will include book launches, round tables and children's workshops, emphasising the integration of children and young people in society's culture, and feature a music and lounge programme.
The Zagreb Book Festival is modelled on the Edinburgh International Book Festival and will be held under the auspices of the Culture Ministry and the City of Zagreb. The Swedish Embassy will extend its special support.
