IJ4EU provides grants to journalistic teams collaborating on investigations on transnational subjects, along with editorial and legal support. It also runs the annual #UNCOVERED conference and the IJ4EU Impact Awards. Listen to the stories behind IJ4EU-funded investigations, from the journalists who worked on them: how they came across their subject matter, built cross-border teams, overcame obstacles and created impact.

Journalists from Oštro, a centre for investigative reporting in the Adriatic region, discuss the challenges of exposing white-collar crime in Slovenia and Croatia — two countries on the EU’s southeast flank where the space for independent media is shrinking.
Host Timothy Large from the International Press Institute speaks with leading journalists behind A Small Haven for White-Collar Crime, an investigation supported by the IJ4EU fund for cross-border investigative journalism.
Drawing on documents from The Pandora Papers, the biggest leak of offshore financial data in history, the investigation exposes tax evasion, fraud and the hiding of assets in offshore jurisdictions.
The project also brought home the difficulties of conducting investigative work in Slovenia and Croatia, countries with much in common — including a deteriorating landscape for media freedom.
