Press FAQ

Common questions from journalists.

Can I quote DDD Southeast Europe in my article without prior approval?: Yes. The foundation welcomes editorial coverage. Quotes from the boilerplate above can be used without further approval. For attributed quotes from named spokespeople, please confirm wording with the press contact before publication.
Does DDD Southeast Europe give exclusives or embargoes on Policy Reports?: Yes — ahead of each major publication, the foundation works with a small set of tier-1 outlets under embargo. To be considered for the embargo list, please write to the press contact above.
Can I commission a Board member for an op-ed?: Board members write op-eds in their personal capacity. The foundation can introduce you to a Board member whose portfolio fits the topic; the editorial relationship is then between the outlet and the writer.
Where do I find logos in the format I need?: The Logos section above lists the available files. If you need a different format or resolution, write to the press contact and we will provide it.
