Vesna Terselic, born in Ljubljana in 1962, has been a beacon of hope and change in the Balkans. Her journey began in the 1980s when she co-founded the environmental organization Svarun and Green Action in Yugoslavia.

In the turbulent years of the Yugoslav Wars, Terselic was actively involved in international organizations supporting peace efforts. Although the specific organizations she founded or participated in during this time are not detailed, her impact was significant. A third of Croatia's territory was under the control of the Republic of Serbian Krajina during this period.

In late September 1991, Terselic founded the anti-war magazine ARKzin with some leading intellectuals. The magazine became one of the first media outlets where intellectuals from warring states could cooperate.

In 1991, Terselic also founded the Croatian Anti-War Campaign (ARK) when Croatia was being attacked by the JNA and Serbian paramilitary units. Jelena Santic joined Terselic during the volunteer camp in Pakrac, a city where 75% of the houses were destroyed and there was no drinking water, in late summer 1991.

After the military-police action "Oluja" in August 1995, about 200,000 Serbs were expelled, and 677 mostly elderly people who could not join the refugee columns were killed. Terselic continued her work, helping war victims and pushing for war crimes trials.

In 2004, Terselic helped found the NGO Documenta: Center for Research of the Past due to the concealment and cover-up of war crimes in Croatia. Documenta's goal is to document the events of the war, determine the number of victims, archive individual memories, and improve court practice by demanding trials for those responsible for violations of human rights and war norms.

Terselic is still the coordinator of Documenta and is also the founder and representative of Croatia in the "REKOM" initiative, which was launched by around 100 organizations from all the former Yugoslav states, aiming to establish facts, particularly the number of victims in the Yugoslav wars.

Terselic's efforts have been recognised internationally. She has received several awards and accolades, including the "Right Livelihood Award" in 1998 (shared with Katarina Kruhonja), the "Schwarzkopf Europe Prize" in 2009 (shared with Nataša Kandić and Mirsad Tokać), a Certificate of the Republic of Croatia in 2012, and the "Diana Budisavljević Award" in 2014.

Terselic's unwavering commitment to peace, environment, and human rights, often at great personal risk, continues to inspire many in the Balkans and beyond.
