AriRusila/Ari-Rusila-s-BalkanBlog
I - Ari Rusila - am a development project management expert and freelancer from Finland with a special interest in the Balkan and MENA regions. My other interests include civil crisis management issues, EU external relations and conflicts. While working in Balkans I saw a huge gap between mainstream media and reality and between high-flown ideas and grassroots. So I started to write e-mails to policy-makers and comments to different forums – the response was modest at highest. The I started blogging (six in English and one in Finnish) and I have got more feed-back. My motto is “The other side of story” and my main blog is Main blog – Ari Rusila's BalkanBlog – http://arirusila.wordpress.com/.
