Croatia n biweeklynewsprint magazine covering literature, arts, culture and current affairs."Zarez" was established in 1999 after a group of intellectuals decided to break away from the government-favored cultural magazine Vijenac because of differences of editorial policies proscribed by
Matica hrvatska , the publisher of "Vijenac", and the views of the editorial staff. They formed a company called "Druga strana" ("The other side") and started a new, independent, cultural magazine first published on19 February 1999 .

It is currently financed by various grants, mainly from the Croatian ministry of culture and theOpen Society Institute .
