BIRN Receives One Year Support From the Netherlands

The Balkan Investigative Reporting Network has received one-year support from the Netherlands. The grant is aimed to help BIRN to create a network of journalists across the Balkans, capable of probing and analysing key transition issues and the process of European integration for policy-makers and the public at large.

Specifically, this means increasing the strength of the teams of journalists and analysts across the region which produce our unique output; the BIRN hub and the BIRN network’s member organisations that support them; and the BIRN network’s capacity to reach out to other media, NGOs, institutions, policymakers and society at large.

BIRN documentary screened at LSE

The screening of the BIRN TV documentary Does Anyone Have a Plan at the prestigious London School of Economics on May 8 generated a lively discussion on Kosovo’s final status.

Gordana Igric, Executive Director of the BIRN Regional Network, fielded questions on the ongoing negotiations; the causes and consequences of the dissolution of Yugoslavia; and the economic viability of the countries that emerged from the breakup of the federation.

The film was produced in January this year and has been screened across the Balkans and internationally, receiving very positive reviews.
