Chris (Krsto) Cviić (1930-2010) had a long and distinguished career as a writer, broadcaster, journalist and political adviser. Born in Croatia in 1930, Chris came to the UK in 1954 to work for the BBC, initially in the Yugoslav language section. He joined The Economist in 1969 and served as their correspondent for central and south-eastern Europe for 21 years. He also edited The World Today, the journal of the Royal Institute for International Affairs (Chatham House) from the mid-1980s until 1995. In 1999, Chris joined the EBRD as a Senior Political Counsellor for central Europe, the Baltic states and south-eastern Europe. Following his retirement from the EBRD in 2007, he published regular articles in various media outlets in Croatia and also served on an advisory council for the Croatian President, Ivo Josipović. Chris authored two books in English on the Balkans: Remaking the Balkans, published in 1991, and In Search of the Balkan Recovery: the Political and Economic Re-emergence of South-Eastern Europe (co-authored with Peter Sanfey), published in 2010. He was awarded an OBE in 2001 for his work on promoting democracy in central and eastern Europe.
