Dnevni Avaz (German translation: Daily Voice ) is one of the most popular daily newspapers in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is published in Sarajevo .

The newspaper was founded in 1995 by Fahrudin Radončić , a Bosnian journalist from the Sandžak region in Montenegro . Today the Dnevni Avaz daily newspaper is part of the Avaz Verlag , which is the largest magazine publisher in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The Avaz publishing house was expanded as the construction of the Avaz Twist Tower began . The Avaz Twist Tower is a 172-meter high skyscraper in Sarajevo's Nedžarići district. The former business building, the Avaz Business Center (previously Oslobodjenje Tower , named after the Bosnian daily newspaper Oslobođenje ), has been converted to 50% into a hotel, while the remaining 50% of the building houses office space .

The Dnevni Avaz is often called a pro-Bosniak newspaper, but it is not without controversy. The newspaper is often accused of populism and lack of journalistic professionalism (see e.g. the leading article Glas bosanskog mraka / Voice of Bosnian Darkness in the weekly newspaper BH Dani : No. 293). In the campaign for the last general elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina (October 2006) of the newspaper was accused of openly sided with the Party for Bosnia-Herzegovina ( Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina , SBiH) of former Bosnian Presidency member Haris Silajdžić asked and a smear campaign against the then member and presidium candidate of the Party of Democratic Action ( Stranka Demokratske Akcije , SDA) Sulejman Tihić and the Social Democratic Party of Bosnia-Herzegovina ( Socijaldemokratska partija Bosne i Hercegovine , SDP BiH) Zlatko Lagumzija . This is denied by the newspaper editor Radončić (BH Dani: No. 493). The fact is, however, that Silajdžić won the general elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina on October 1, 2006 against the SDA candidate Tihić by a large margin. In the Republika Srpska the market share of Dnevni Avaz is only 18 percent, in the Federation it is 62 percent.

The Avaz-Verlag currently publishes the following magazines: Dnevni Avaz , As , Express , Azra , Avaz Sport . The publisher currently owns the following buildings: Avaz Business Center , Avaz Twist Tower and the Hotel Radon Plaza Hotel .
