A lawyer & a consultant covering law, technology, economics, and Southeast Europe (to name a few) - New England at heart; New York & Belgrade at present.
David Lipton is a global & American treasure. He used his extraordinary mind, genuine warmth & interest in substance (not turf) to improve public policy & the welfare of the US & world's people. His longtime service at Treasury & IMF was beyond exemplary. Thank you, David Lipton.
Spent week off binge-watching Croatian newsroom drama Novine (The Paper) on Netflix. Took me a while to get into but Season 2 is a masterpiece.
A Wire-esque huge cast of brilliant characters, the best of which is surely gnarly ex-security-agent Blago Antic.
Highly recommend!

The government of Serbia, on itself: "Government entities may not be fully capable of adopting transparency principles."

tax ‘providing the company has invested this money in production’", and call me cynical but yes what could possibly go wrong?
