Autor

Verena Knaus studied modern history at the University of Oxford, and international relations and economics at Johns Hopkins University. She first came to Kosovo in 2001 to set up a 'lessons learned and analysis unit', a joint project of the European Stability Initiative (ESI), a non-profit think tank, and the UN administration in Kosovo. During subsequent years, she researched and published extensively on Kosovo's post-war economy, international governance, minorities and migration. After working in Turkey and enjoying a short stint at Yale University as a 'world fellow', she returned to Kosovo in January 2007, just in time for independence. She has led academic and biking tours across Europe for many years and is a co-author of Bradt's Kosovo guide (now in its fourth edition). Knaus now works in a senior capacity for UNICEF, overseeing the organisation's relationships with several European countries. Gail Warrander was a lawyer in the City of London and then for Reuters. On a commuter train she was drawn by an advert in The Economist and left 'the big smoke' to help with the EU-funded economic reconstruction effort in Kosovo. After three years working on infrastructure and privatisation projects she switched to working directly for the business community of Kosovo, running her own commercial law firm in Kosovo, and working extensively with foreign and local investors. She then returned to the UK to attend London Business School's Sloan Fellowship programme. A keen mountain biker and snowboarder, she speaks fluent German, French and Albanian and basic Serbian. She has travelled extensively throughout the Balkans and co-authored Bradt's Kosovo guide (now in its fourth edition). She currently lives in South Africa, working as an economic development professional for the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office.
