- ABOUT YOU
I currently work as a professor of political science at the department of political science of the Law Faculty “Iustinianus Primus” – Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, North Macedonia. I am also a former head of the department and a former president of the Macedonian Political Science Association (MPSA). I am also part of the editorial board of the biannual political science journal “Political Thought” published by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung – Skopje and the Institute for Democracy “Societas Civilis” – Skopje (IDSCS). Since recently, I am a member of the Security Council of the Republic of North Macedonia, appointed by president Stevo Pendarovski. Still interested in political science…
- WHY DID YOU CHOOSE ERMA?
In the not so recent 2001 I visited a sumer school in Cervia, Italy where I got aquainted with the programme known only as ERMA. Back then I had no idea what the programme was or what were the perspectives if I attend it. During the summer school I gradually got to know the background of the programme, its topics and some of the professors. The rest was really the easy part… For me as a political scientist the topics were more than attractive, and I felt this was my natural academic terrain. I was not wrong at all…
- WHAT DID YOU MOSTLY LIKE ABOUT THE PROGRAMME?
“Come for the degree, stay for the company…“ That is in a nutshell what happened to me. I came for the degree, for the science and the perspectives ERMA opened, but I stayed for the wonderful group of people I met in my classroom. I really liked it all, with one expection…the harsh Sarajevo winter. But there are ways to warm yourself… Not saying anything…one will eventually find out…
- WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT?
I wouldn’t recommmend it… I would reattend it. But you guys won’t let me… Silly age and no-reruns limitations… 🙁
Ok, I teach at ERMA now…kind of reattending but without the exams and the papers. Works well in fact! 🙂
