The award recognizes individuals for their significant contribution to advocating for the values and commitments of the OSCE.

After receiving the award, Matic said that "the year that is slowly slipping away has been extremely difficult for journalists, at times even bleak, despite the tremendous efforts of all those working to improve media freedom and journalist safety in Serbia."
Matic added that the support he receives in this struggle from the head of the Mission, Jan Bratu, and his media team is "almost priceless."
"The award coming from such an organization represents a great encouragement for the journalism profession and my further work, but also proves that there is some meaning in all of this," said Matic.
Other recipients of the "Person of the Year" award include Ivana Stevanovic, Executive Director of the Slavko Curuvija Foundation, and Nemanja Nenadic, Program Director of the Transparency Serbia organization.
Ivana Stevanovic was recognized for her significant contribution to the fight against impunity for crimes against journalists and her unwavering dedication to promoting professional journalism, while Nemanja Nenadic was honored for his professionalism and commitment to enhancing the fight against corruption and electoral reform.
