A diplomat with eleven years' experience in two EU institutions. I am interested in the non-governmental and private sectors, especially socially responsible business/corporate responsibility, job creation, international and human security, culture diplomacy, sustainable development, human rights, art and film. I have extensive background in international relations and EU policies, global issues (in particular drugs policy, migration, human trafficking, energy). I am closely familiar with the Western Balkans/South-East Europe and Central Asia and more generally Russia and the Europe's Eastern Neighborhood.
I have been a panelist in debates related to the EU policy in the Eastern Neighborhood and Central Asia. I have moderated events with some 50 participants, e.g. an event presenting the EU regional policy in the margins of the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs. I have made multiple presentations on the EU policies on different global challenges in front of students and citizens under the visitors' program of the European External Action Service.
