About me
I claim I have been developing a specific type of cross-border journalism, which is not investigative, but is placed in the category of intercultural communication, community building, promotion of mutual understanding and knowledge, as well as a common point of view to the world in the Bulgarian-Romanian space. More about my blog and its philosophy can be read here:

Something similar but with focus Central and Southeastern Europe is being done by another project of mine - the Poland-based site Cross-border Talks:

I am also a journalist that deals with international relations and sometimes act as analyst on Bulgarian, Romanian or international issues. I am responsible for the Romanian-language news about Bulgaria of Radio Bulgaria. I am doing interviews with Romanians and Moldovans for the Bulgarian National Radio and I am giving interviews on Romanian issues to a number of Bulgarian televisions and radios. I am also Radio România's correspondent from Bulgaria.
I have felt empowerment through cross-border journalism and relations over the border, which makes me promote these activities as a means of promoting social change in Southeastern Europe.
In 2024/2025 me and my colleagues from Cross-border Talks did a cross-border journalism project, supported by Journalism Fund on just transition in Poland, Czechia, Romania and Bulgaria.
Here is the project's page on Journalism Fund's site:
