On a personal note: After 10 great years at the helm of the European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI), I will be leaving at the end of August to devote my time to teaching at the European University of Flensburg, publishing and multilateral monitoring. It has been a wonderful and rich experience, and I believe that together with the staff, we have taken the ECMI to greater heights than ever before in its 22 years of existence. Thank you to all who have supported me in this and to stakeholders who believe in the ECMI mission, as unique and challenging as it may be. I wish the next team all the best of luck with this important task.
