Nosila sam danas ogrlicu koju si mi poklonio jednom. Ili sam je možda ja ukrala na Timijevom rođendanu, a ti se nisi bunio. 🙂 Često te se sjetim. I onda se pravim da se samo već jako dugo nismo vidjeli. – Eva Košćak
A precious friend
Ten days have gone by since the death of Matija, and I am still having trouble facing up to the fact. I wanted to write something, but the words would not come. As if writing about the fact that he was no longer with us would force me to admit that it was true. I […]
Coffe! When? In 5 mins. OK!
One rainy afternoon a few years ago, walking through my new neighborhood where I moved after bad personal and professional break up I ran into Matija, after a short chat we decided to go for a quick coffee. At that point I was I the worst shape I can remember physically and mentally, but somehow […]
Condolences from Belgium
I only met Matija a few times, but his enthusiasm and insights were inspiring and made a big difference for EFIP and the European Freelancersweek in particular. On behalf of FEDIPRO (Federation of Independent Professionals in Belgium) I want to express our condolences to Matija’s family. – Marc Mestdagh
Think outside the box :)
This pivture tells everything. During that time, I was going through divorce, my brother who I was close to moved to Canada and my job was kinda boring to me. I needed challenges and positive change. Matija was there at the time and pushed me to see behind my beliefs. He learned me how to […]
Once upon a time, in Lisbon
November 2014. What an epic Copass Camp it was. Among the many great people I got to share this huge appartment with in the center of Lisbon, I can still remember this very special moment I spent with this very sweet Croatian guy. There were several of us campers, you were back from an expedition […]
Our condolences from PZO
On behalf of PZO in the Netherlands we would like to send our condolences to Matija’s family. Besides the very special character, he brought alignment, inspiration and innovation. We will miss him very much as a person and also his power and leadership for EFIP and the European Freelancers Week. Our thoughts are with Matija’s […]
The one who always made things gonna work out and believed in a broad connection
I told my husband today: „Do you remember this guy whom I worked with and whose friends raised a big amount of money for his recovery from cancer from us, the whole community.“ „Yes. That is amazing that people did that for him.“ „No that is not amazing… Amazing is what Matija did for the […]
That time when we were both dreaming of becoming tomatoes
That day we drove from Zagreb to Pula, to meet Danijela and Irka, with whom we were organizing an exciting conference at Rojc. You were thrilled to find out that there is a USB plug on the bus seat where you could charge your phone because: “More work to be done.” 🙂 Instead, we talked and […]
Thank you for everything
I first met you in Lisbon at the Coworking Europe conference in 2014. We had been talking online and had planned to collaborate upon meeting. You were waiting for me outside the Copass camp and greeted me with a hug. I instantly liked you but little did I know that would be the beginning of […]
