As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 3rd of January, 2020, the Pixsell photo and video agency team are the official agency to capture the Croatian EU presidency. All photos will be available on Pixsell's web service and will be able to be used by all media outlets that have a contract with this photo agency.
In addition, they will also be available on a flickr account created specifically for the Croatian EU presidency by the presidency's public relations team - flick.com/eu2020hr. During the Croatian EU presidency, and until the end of June, Pixsell will officially record the events and goings on of nearly 200 meetings, festivities, and capture photos of distinguished guests from Croatia and abroad, not only in Zagreb, but across all Croatian cities.
''We have been negotiating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs team for a long time about the working methods and conditions for obtaining such a prestigious assignment. And we're glad that they have nevertheless recognised us as an agency that is the only one in Croatia capable of doing such demanding high-level filming. We've made a commitment to deliver the pictures in real time, as the only ones who do so in Croatia, we have been working like that regularly for the last two years, so that all media will receive pictures during the meetings themselves,'' said Pixsell's director Anamaria Todorić.
The organisation, recording and delivery of photo and video materials will involve around 60 people, all equipped with state-of-the-art technology in order to have the best quality and fastest delivery to media outlets and Council of Europe representatives, as well as ministries involved in the project.
''For us, being the official cameramen is first and foremost a great honour, but also another proof that we're the strongest photo agency in Croatia as well as in the wider region. Pixsell's cameramen do about 70 photo shoots, and about 30 video shoots daily, and more than 10,000 domestic and foreign agencies' who we represent in Croatia upload them to their websites, and our photo and video content is used by virtually all media outlets,'' explained Todorić.
Pixsell is the largest photo agency in Croatia and was founded almost eleven years ago by the popular newspapers Vecernji list and 24sata, then as the agency that will service these two largest media brands with exclusive photographs, but to date, Pixsell has grown into an agency without which no web portal, television or newspaper could possibly imagine its everyday work.
In addition to covering the whole of Croatia, it has permanent teams in Belgrade (Serbia) and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and acquisitions are underway in other major cities in this part of Europe. Pixsell's photos and videos are used by HRT, Nova TV, RTL, Index, Tportal, 24sata, Vecernji list, but also by international agencies like Getty images, China's largest Xinhua agency, Reuters, and dpa.
