Meet the guestsFor the first time in Radio Vinternational, I interviewed two guests!
The first is Andres Reiljan. He is a political scientist and currently has a position at the European University Institute as a Max Weber Fellow. He is the Project co-leader of the EU&I voting application.
My other guest is Angeliki Xafi. She is a communication strategist, and is currently a trainee at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies. She is the Communications assistant of the project, and has done her master at the International Hellenistic University.
