Anuška Delić

Based in Slovenia, Anuška Delić is an investigative reporter and founder of Oštro, a non-profit center for investigative journalism in the Adriatic region. In 2021, Oštro established a sister center in Zagreb, Croatia, effectively creating a unique two-headed micro-regional entity dedicated to impactful investigations in the two neighboring countries and beyond. She is a Balkans regional editor at OCCRP, and a member of ICIJ. For a dozen years before establishing Oštro, she was a journalist with the national daily Delo. Among other issues, she investigated neo-Nazis in the ranks of the main right-wing party for which she was "awarded" with a criminal complaint by the Slovenian intelligence agency. She was acquitted but the process culminated in a change of the Criminal Code to conditionally allow the publication of state secrets in the public interest.
