Igor Besermenji

Hi, my name is Igor and I joined a local TV station in my hometown when I was 15. By the age of 19, I was the youngest host of a political programme in Serbia. Later in career, I worked with CNN’s news channel affiliate N1 Serbia, as a producer, journalist, reporter and news anchor. Over the years, I wrote over two hundred articles, comments and columns about local, national, regional and international affairs for various printed and digital media outlets in Serbia and was sometimes a guest author for media outlets in other countries in the Western Balkans region. I also did a few live hits from Serbia for CNN in the US, and Sky News in Australia. In 2024, I independently covered the US presidential election live from New York and Washington D.C. and commented about the election for various media outlets in Serbia. My topics are (but not limited to): politics and current affairs in Serbia, international news, diplomacy. My educational background includes two Master’s degrees- Public Administration from the University of Birmingham (UK) and international relations (Serbia). I also worked as a teaching assistant at the University, as a flight attendant for a leading airline company (Qatar Airways), and served as a head of marketing for a startup in the Middle East. I live in suitcases most of the time and have lived in Serbia, Croatia, United Kingdom, and Qatar. My hobbies include various sports, traveling and reading. Occasionally, I hold public speaking classes for individuals from different backgrounds (politicians, diplomats, managers, entrepreneurs, students…)
