"The Croatian presidency is a good opportunity to start talking about the needs of the entire AV industry, especially in terms of online services. It's good to have a dialogue, not only among us but also in Brussels. I hope film professionals will meet more understanding for their needs as a result of the ongoing conversation”, said Christopher Marcich, head of HAVC.

The international events will also include the Ministerial conference Towards an Ambitious EU Agenda for a Thriving AV Sector, which will be held in Cannes on 17 May 2020, as well as the Croatian evening with Zlatko Burić and the screening of the actor’s new film, Extracurricular directed by Ivan Goran Vitez and produced by Interfilm, in Copenhagen on 3 March 2020.

During the presidency period, an Intellectual Property Conference will be held in Zagreb on 19-20 February 2020, while the EUIPO Public Sector Representatives Meeting & Working Group Meeting is scheduled for 3-5 March 2020.
