Andrijana Kadija has been in journalism for eighteen years. She is one of those journalists who always believe that they did little, that more could and can be done, and responsibility, respect, order, work, discipline are still close to her, she says.
About how he fights stress, he tells ˝Život˝ that he doesn't think about stress or doesn't have time to think about it, "because besides work, I still have a lot of obligations."
"When I feel like my batteries are running low, my family is where I get my energy. I measure life by the time until the birth and the time after the birth of my daughter".
He emphasizes that after the birth of his daughter Damjana, everything has a different meaning and less importance.
"Her pleasure is my elixir and I try to always be there to share big and small moments with her. I'm ready for everything to suffer because of her, but for now it's not like that, I still have the energy and good organization to be able to manage all the obligations".
When asked if there are any professional challenges after many years of journalism, the answer was: "I face professional challenges when dealing with every topic".
She states that she constantly wonders if she found the best angle, found the best guests.
"I always ask the question whether I have provided an equal chance for everyone to express their point of view, whether I have provided information to the viewer".
She talks about how proud she is if, through her journalistic efforts, she helped someone realize their right, if she managed to help someone get a job, to become aware that they should not be a victim, if she managed to help someone live better.
"I am proud if, through my work, I learned that someone got more information or simply did not regret watching the show I do".
She points out that she is also proud of the relationship she has with colleagues "full of trust and respect".
Thanks to journalism, she says, she met a lot of people, saw a lot of countries, learned to separate good from bad in all spheres.
"I belong to those journalists who always believe that they have done a little, that more could and can be done, that I am always indebted to the profession".
He says that freedoms must be won every day.
"It is not enough that you only have the right to freedom of expression if you do not use it".
Favorite work in the morning program
When it comes to the beginnings of his career, he says ˝I applied for the RTCG trainee competition and that's how I ended up on the radio.˝ Her favorite period is working in the morning program of TVCG. ˝We worked a lot, even beyond our means, but we lived and stood up for each other, as is done in a family˝. She points out that there she learned how important team unity is. ˝Responsibility, respect, order, work, discipline were the famous mottos of Todor Peković, the then editor, which are still close to me today.˝ She is especially grateful to him, as she states, for pointing out that they should not be envious of their colleagues. "That we must not think that we are important just by appearing on TV. He often said that there are no stars in our business, only asterisks, and their duration is short. She says that she learned that lesson then and experiences all new professional obligations without euphoria.
Journalism is both tiring and relaxing
After the morning, she worked in the editorial office of Dnevnik, during the time of political turmoil and bombings, and that was the most difficult period for her. He started the show "Otvoreno", which continues today, with his colleague Marija Tomašević. "All in all, I went through all the steps that a young journalist needs to go through in order to mature both as a person and as a journalist." When asked if she ever wanted to change her profession, she says: "I really love my job and like any other person, I might think for a moment what would have happened if I had pursued another profession, but when I think about it, journalism is something that fulfills me and which is a part of me”. He emphasizes that if journalism makes you tired and relaxed at the same time, then that's it. "Something like love".
