About Protesilaos Stavrou
Thank you for visiting my website and showing interest in it. The following is an introduction of myself. My name is Protesilaos, surname Stavrou. I am Cypriot in origin. I was born in Greece 23 years ago.
I lived in Greece for eighteen years, attending all levels of primary and secondary education, while I also had the chance to be educated in two foreign languages, English and French, both of which I use in oral and script language. The rich heritage of Greece, coupled with the respect for knowledge that permeates the modern Greek culture, was a catalytic factor in shaping my character, making me willful to follow a path that leads to the academia.
After graduating from the lyceum, I took the decision to abandon Greece in search for higher education in Cyprus, where I had the luck to receive a scholarship for a bachelor degree in European Politics, Law and Economics.
I now work at the European Parliament and am making plans to forward my studies with a masters degree in economics, which I intend to complement with a Phd on the same field.
I consider myself a libertarian and a cynic, both by force of temperament and by education.
For all the rest, you might track my views by reading my articles.
Finally some words about this website you might find useful. The articles included here are about the European Union, covering issues of politics and political economy. The purpose is to comprehend the way in which it functions and affects our lives, in every given area of life. My experiences so far have taught me that I may only speak for myself. As such I take full responsibility of what I write and say, without involving a third person in my musings.
