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 […]
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 […]
I want to remember the Saturday night we met, in Copass Camp Lisbon, 2014. Lionel and I had the room next to the one you were sharing with a Croatian friend. The four of us didn’t feel like sleeping, went to a reggae club and became official 5€ socios for the night. An old foosball table, cheap […]
Luka Piškorič and I started Slovenia Coworking initiative in 2012 in Ljubljana and knew from the start we need strong regional partners to develop coworking culture in the Balkans. At that time it was not possible to buy a domain name of hr ending if you were not a resident of Croatia. So Luka’s cousin […]
On behalf of the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self Employed (IPSE) in the UK we would like to send our deepest condolences to Matija’s family and friends. It is a great shock that one so young and full of energy is taken from us. We were impressed by his enthusiasm and his dedication […]
I don’t have a picture of the moment. I just have beautiful memories. I don’t remember about the restaurant. I don’t remember who was in the same table with us. I remember I was focused on you, you focused on me. We discussed topics related to the life we want to live and personal development. […]
What terrible news. Matija’s death is a terrible loss that shocks us and leaves us deeply sad. We’ll miss Matija so much. He was a great person, full of energy, humor, good ideas and joie de vivre. We had hoped to spend a lot more time with him after his recovery, to be inspired by […]
I’ll never forget the first time I ever met Matija. I was still new to the coworking community and knew very few people while attending my first industry conference. Very quickly I learned that coworking people have a lot of opinions and have a lot to say (and that’s coming from a talker like me). […]
Matija in the front line of Lisboa’s Coworking Europe Conference (2014) where he belongs. Forever. – Fernando Mendes
Matija, we didn’t get to know each other for too long, but I feel lucky to have worked with you over the last few months. We all know that you have made, and will still make, the lives of freelancers across Europe (and the world) a little better each and every day. In one of […]
