The Oslobođenje ( German Liberation ) is a daily newspaper published in Sarajevo . The name translates as "Liberation".
The Oslobođenje was founded by Yugoslav partisans during the Second World War and first appeared on August 30, 1943 in Trnova (near Bijeljina ); Due to the war, it initially appeared irregularly (approx. twice a month) in different places. a. from October 7, 1944 to April 9, 1945 in Jajce . From issue no. 30 of April 12, 1945, it appeared weekly in Sarajevo, and since January 1, 1947 daily. Until the 1970s it was the daily newspaper with the highest circulation in the SR Bosnia-Herzegovina. On the pages of the Oslobođenje, the Latin script and the Cyrillic script were used alternately.
Shortly after the start of the Bosnian War , the newspaper building was destroyed on July 20, 1992, but the newspaper could continue to be produced in the building's air raid shelter. 5 employees died in the war, 25 were injured. The Oslobođenje continued to employ editors from all ethnic groups and took an anti-nationalist, left-liberal position. She and her editors Kemal Kurspahić and Gordana Knezević have been awarded numerous prizes, including the 1993 Sakharov Prize and the Bruno Kreisky Prize for Services to Human Rights . In the further course of the war, however, an increasing influence of nationalist positions was noticeable.
From March 1993 a weekly foreign edition appeared for guest workers and refugees living in Western Europe; in 1996 it was renamed Svijet (The World).
The main owners of Oslobođenje since 2006 have been the Fabrika Duhana Sarajevo tobacco factory and the Sarajevska Pivara brewery .
