VIENNA, Oct 13 /ATA-FENA/ General Manager of the Federal News Agency (FENA) Elmir Huremović was elected member of the EANA Governing Board.
The European Alliance of News Agencies (EANA) held the General Assembly in Vienna, which elected the President, the Secretary General and two new members of the Alliance’s Governing Board.
Clemens Pig, president of the Austrian news agency APA was elected for the two-year term as the EANA president. Alexandru Ion Giboi will serve as Secretary General for the next three years and this is his second term in office.
The two new members of the Alliance’s board are Elmir Huremović, General Manager of the Federal News Agency, and Fabrice Fries, President of the French agency AFP.
“FENA has been a member of EANA since 2017 and we are the youngest member, which makes me even more proud and happy after today’s results and the fact that FENA has taken one of the positions in the board of the European Alliance of News Agencies,” General Manager Huremović said after the announcement of the voting results.
He added that this is an excellent timing given that FENA will host the next EANA conference in Sarajevo next spring and believes that holding the conference in BiH will significantly contribute to emphasizing the importance of agency journalism, but also media freedom in BiH and Southeast Europe.
The European Alliance of News Agencies (EANA) was established in 1956 as a forum for cooperation and exchange of information following the Strasbourg conference and includes 32 members.
