Alex Kocic - Alex Kocic
I have worked as a journalist for over twenty years. My first job was with a local radio station in my hometown of Pancevo, Serbia, where I edited and presented first a computer and later various music shows. After moving to Britain, I worked as a producer for the BBC World Service and also as UK Correspondent for a number of Serbian media outlets.
I now live in Spain where I teach journalism at the Universidad Europea de Madrid and work as a freelance journalist and translator. I have an MA in International Relations and Diplomacy and I write mostly about world affairs. I am an avid music fan, who enjoys collecting records and going to gigs, but I still can't make up my mind as to what my favourite album of all time is.
