  • 1 Talking Women
    TALKING WOMEN 1 When the EUSR gender team proposed me a plan to reach out to the people in Kosovo and discuss gender, I immediately liked the idea. In January 2019, I launched a series of debates under the title: EU Gender Talks: Because We Make a Difference. Inequalities between women and men in Kosovo are still prevalent. So, the purpose was to have monthly discussions on different topics in relation to gender, with the aim of Ambassador raising awareness, contribute to the Nataliya Apostolova change of mentalities and improve Head of the EU Office in Kosovo / EU Special Representative gender equality policies in Kosovo. The 12 sessions have gathered more than 500 participants from Kosovo institutions, civil society organisations, EU Member States representatives and different audiences and topics made every session take other international stakeholders. They have included diverse shapes and sizes. Women were talking loud and interesting topics such as Women in Business, Gender we wanted the impact of their voices to be multiplied. and Youth, Gender in the Electoral Cycle, Women in This book ‘Talking Women’ is the result of it. I hope you Media and Women and the Environment, just to name enjoy reading it as much as I have. I can assure you that a few. the conclusions of the EU Gender Talks, together with the interviews of the 12 featured women, are stirring the Women are underrepresented in Kosovo’s public life, EU Office/EUSR policies and activities, as well as our particularly when it comes to decision-making positions. political dialogues with Kosovo authorities.

  • The Gffn 100 2018: Ten to Watch
    GFFN 100 2018 THE GFFN 100: AN INTRODUCTION Welcome to another edition of the Get French Football News 100. Published at the end of ev- ery year by GFFN, the guide you are reading is as detailed and comprehensive a set of player profiles as one is likely to find, especially in English. Some of these players are well-known, even to the casual fan, and though they have been the subjects of countless profiles, we hope that you can gain a bit more depth in knowledge of their stories. This is especially true with the likes of Neymar and his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappé. In 2018, neither was ever far from the limelight in a year in which France won the World Cup, thanks in large part to the teen- age sensation. Neymar may have garnered the odd headline for less positive reasons, but both remain as compelling off the pitch as they do on it. It is thus no surprise to see Mbappé top the rankings again; it does not take much objectivity to realise his immense talent and potential, but the present document is much more than a narra- tive driven by celebrity. We have watched the matches that do not generate headlines, seen the teams that are rarely on television, especially internationally, and artfully blended statistical anal- ysis with old-fashioned scouting to create what we feel is a definitive guide to the professionals currently plying their trade in France. If some rankings seem high, or low, read the profiles before making a snap decision as to our choices; this is a meritocracy.
