History and profile

Večernji list was started in Zagreb in 1959.^[3][4] Its predecessor Večernji vjesnik ('Evening Courier') appeared for the first time on 3 June 1957 in Zagreb on 24 pages^[5] but quickly merged with Narodni list ('National Paper') to form what is today known as Večernji list.

Večernji list is considered a conservative leaning newspaper.^[2]

Croatia to the World

In February 2021, Večernji list, in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts and the Croatian Society of Fine Artists (HDLU), compiled a list of the 38 Croatians (ethnically Croat or connected to Croatia)^[7] who contributed the most to the world, influencing global history. They organized an exhibition held at the Meštrović Pavilion, titled "From Croatia to the World" (Hrvatska svijetu), including over a thousand items connected to the thirty-eight personages. The first twelve names were chosen in 2019, but the list was then extended to a total of 38 by February 2021.^[8] The list includes: Ivo Andrić, Giorgio Baglivi, Josip Belušić, Roger Joseph Boscovich, Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić, Ivan Česmički, Marin Getaldić, Franjo Hanaman, Jerome, Marcel Kiepach, Julije Klović, Slavko Kopač, Benedikt Kotruljević, Zinka Kunc-Milanov, Antun Lučić, Giovanni Luppis, Dora Maar, Marko Marulić, Ivan Meštrović, Andrija Mohorovičić, Franciscus Patricius, Slavoljub Eduard Penkala, Marco Polo, Herman Potočnik, Vladimir Prelog, Mario Puratić, Lavoslav Ružan, Andrea Schiavone, David Schwartz, Pope Sixtus V, Mia Slavenska, Andrija Štampar, Rudolf Steiner, Nikola Tesla, Milka Trnina, Faust Vrančić, Ivan Vučetić, and Nikola IV Zrinski.^[8][9]
