I am a communications assistant at the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum in Brussels and I have always been fascinated by the former Soviet countries.

After living in Belgium for more than a year, I still don't know if I will settle here or not, I really miss the post Soviet world a lot (and Italy as well)!
