Hrvatsko slovo

Hrvatsko slovo was a weekly culture magazine from Zagreb. It was founded in 1995 by prominent Croatian writers Mile Pešorda, Dubravko Horvatić, Nedjeljko Fabrio, Stjepan Šešelj and Mile Maslać.

At the founding meeting in Zagreb, held on March 28, 1995, the concept of the new weekly magazine, presented by Dubravko Horvatić, was accepted, as well as Milo Pešorda's proposal that the magazine bears the name Hrvatsko slovo. The first issue of Hrvasko Slovo was published in Zagreb on April 28, 1995 by its founders, writer Dubravko Horvatić, editor-in-chief, Stjepan Šešelj, director, Mile Pešorda, deputy editor-in-chief and editor for literature, and DHK president Nedjeljko Fabrio. One of the co-creators was the Croatian poet Mile Maslać, later deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper. The magazine published works of Hrvoje Hitrec, Zoran Tadić, Sven Lasta, Mirko Marjanović, Ljubica Štefan and many others.

Hrvatsko slovo has been discontinued on 11 February 2022, citing lack of financial support requested from the Ministry of Culture and Media.
