In June 2025, the International Publishers’ Meeting (Encontro Internacional de Editores) took place in Lisbon, gathering thirteen publishing sector experts from Armenia, Czechia, Denmark, France, Ireland, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Spain. The event, organised by the Creative Europe Desk (CED) Portugal and the Portuguese Trade and Investment Agency (AICEP), was dedicated to building publishing and institutional partnerships, encouraging translation and circulation of literary works, as well as increasing access to national and European funding for translation and publishing projects.
Among the participants was Mitja Ličen, the director of Goga Publishing House, with whom we talked about his impressions, findings and opportunities from the meeting, about the role of Goga in connecting the Balkans with the larger international literary space and about the common practices of small European publishers.
