Background
Dnevni avaz evolved from a weekly publication Bošnjački avaz which was first published in September 1993. In 1994, it became known simply as Avaz and was published weekly in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany. In 1995, it was reestablished by Fahrudin Radončić as a daily newspaper.[4]
Dnevni avaz is part of the "avaz-roto press" publishing house, the biggest media house in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[4][5] The paper is based in Sarajevo and has a relative pro-Bosniak and pro-Bosnian stance (centre-right).[4][5][6]
In 2006, the Avaz publishing house was expanded with the start of the construction of the Avaz Twist Tower, a 175 m skyscraper in Sarajevo's Marijin Dvor neighborhood, in the Centar Municipality of Sarajevo. As of 2016, it was the tallest skyscraper in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[7]
