I have an academic upbringing in Political Science and a professional background in EU and Western Balkan affairs, with a special focus on the EU's enlargement and conditionality policy, as well as the regional cooperation and rival powers' competition in the Western Balkans. Throughout my academic and professional career, I authored or co-authored more than 20 academic and non-academic publications in the above-mentioned fields.
My Ph.D. project deals with the Europeanization of North Macedonia's memory politics and the Macedonian national identity amid the country's EU accession process.
