Cross-border Talks is a brand that goes beyond the boundaries of traditional journalism, offering in-depth research and analysis of international relations. Founded by Polish journalist Malgorzata Kulbaczewska-Figat, Czech-Finnish journalist Veronika Sušová-Salminen, and Bulgarian journalist Vladimir Mitev, Cross-border Talks aims to connect Central and South-eastern Europe with the wider world. This independent and non-partisan initiative promotes change, regional cooperation, and critical thinking.

Through their podcast and presence on various social media platforms, Cross-border Talks provides a platform for discussing Western hegemonic and anti-Western narratives, offering a fresh perspective that prioritizes the needs and aspirations of people and challenges the mainstream discourse. The team consists of experienced foreign reporters who have a deep understanding of the regions they cover, and their aim is to make international relations more accessible and less securitized, giving a voice to the common people. By crossing borders and building bridges, Cross-border Talks seeks to create a more inclusive and informed global conversation
