For London-based IWPR Balkans online associate editor, Gordona Igric, the threat of arrest in her home country was real enough for her to go into self-imposed exile in Britain.
NGOs such as the London-based Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR), Media Action International (Geneva), IMPACS (Canada), the Baltic Media Centre and Internews (Washington) all have offices at the Centre.
IWPR, or the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, was set up in 1991 in the aftermath of the Gulf War and now covers the Balkans and under-reported regions of the Caucasus and Central Asia.
