The \u201cDru\u0161tvo hrvatskih knji\u017eevnih prevodilaca\u201d was founded on 11 November 1952, just two months after a decision was made at a UNESCO congress to encourage the founding of translators\u2019 societies in all countries. It is one of the oldest professional societies in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the Society\u2019s founding, current members reminded that 37 translators participated in the founding assembly held on the premises of the Croatian Writers\u2019 Association, and today the Society has more than 300 members. They explained to President Milanovi\u0107 that advancing the literary translation profession and caring for the improvement of the social and financial status of literary translators as authors of literary translations is the Society\u2019s most vital concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For seventy years the entire activity of the Society of Croatian Literary Translators has been at the service of the cultural environment in which they live and strengthening bonds with European and world cultures. With their activities the members not only enhance the Society\u2019s image but also Croatian culture in the world. There was also talk of the material conditions and the value of their work. \u201cWhen asked if we can earn a living from literary translations, we usually answer that it is possible if you have a second job as well\u201d, vice-president Anda Bukvi\u0107 Pa\u017ein picturesquely stated, explaining that just a small number of them live only from that profession today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the literary translators complained that the pay for their work is in constant decline, but, thanks to the Society\u2019s activity, the affirmation of their profession is in an upward trend. In terms of the affirmation of their profession, they underlined that this year they launched a programme entitled \u2018Tko vam je napisao lektiru?\u2019 (Who wrote your required reading books?) in the scope of which they cooperate with secondary schools in Zagreb, Rijeka, Osijek and Split.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the delegation of the Society of Croatian Literary Translators besides the vice-president of its Board of Directors and literary translator of English and German Anda Bukvi\u0107 Pa\u017ein, were members of the Board of Directors and executive secretary of the European Council of Literary Translators Associations (CEATL) literary translator of English and German Lara H\u00f6lbling Matkovi\u0107, academician and honorary member of the Society of Croatian Literary Translators and literary translator of Italian Mladen Machiedo, literary translator of English Vjera Balen-Heidl, literary translator of English-Italian-French-Romanian Mate Maras, literary translator of Bulgarian Ksenija Banovi\u0107, literary translator from and into English Tomislav Kuzmanovi\u0107, literary translator of Dutch and English Svetlana Grubi\u0107 Samar\u017eija, literary translator of Spanish and English Ela Varo\u0161anec Krsnik, literary translator of Portuguese and English Josip Ivanovi\u0107, and head of the office of the Society of Croatian Literary Translators, conference translator and translator of the Italian language Erika Kopor\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Special Adviser to the President for Culture Zdravko Zima attended the meeting alongside President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_1084-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_1084-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_1111-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_1111-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_1122-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_1122-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_1126-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_1126-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p>PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Marko Beljan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 met today with representatives of the \u201cDru\u0161tvo hrvatskih knji\u017eevnih prevodilaca\u201d (Society of Croatian Literary Translators) celebrating 70 years of activity this year.
