In 1992, a small press in Sarajevo published 45 pages of Zlata's diary and released it for the UNICEF week.[2] Following the release of her diary, Zlata became moderately famous. International journalists visited the Filipović family's apartment and interviewed Zlata. In December 1993, the United Nations helped Zlata and her mother move to Paris.
Her diary has also been adapted into a choral work by Anthony Powers.
