Special interview with Siiri Alakorva-Balagović
On the birthday of statesman J.V. Snellman, we talked with translator Siiri Alakorva-Balagović, who has significantly helped in advancing the cultural relationship between Finland and Croatia by translating numerous Finnish books to Croatian. Books have been dear friends to Siiri since childhood, and now she is a retired librarian. Her marriage to journalist and Esperantist Dragutin Balagović (1933-1997) brought her to Zagreb in 1962.
