The staff and Board of Directors of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Mirko Klarin, founder and editor-in-chief of SENSE News Agency and the SENSE Transitional Justice Center—and lifelong advocate for peace in southeast Europe.
“The passing of Mirko Klarin is a loss not only for NED’s partners in southeast Europe, but for defenders of truth and justice worldwide,” said Tanja Dramac Jiries, deputy director for Europe at NED. “The entire Europe progam team at NED is grateful for Mirko’s unparalleled commitment to reconciliation that has encouraged the region to move forward to find lasting peace and democracy.” Klarin helped establish the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
