An open letter on Balkans media to EU enlargement and neighbourhood commissioner Stefan Fuele.
Dear Mr Fuele,
Following your kind invitation, I will be going to the Speak Up! conference in Brussels on Thursday (20 June).
It's the second time you have organised such a meeting to help EU-aspirant countries protect free speech.
This year, in order to come I will miss my daughter's end-of-year ballet recital. Her name is Lisa. She is eight and she is furious with me.
