Centri u New Yorku za pravnu podršku imigraciji pri Ministarstvu vanjskih poslova (MOIA)

Ismet Rastoder

Ismet Rastoder je urednik i osnivač portala Radio New York — medijskog prostora posvećenog dijaspori, društvenoj istini i stvarnim životnim pitanjima Balkana i Amerike. Poznat po direktnom stilu, hrabrim komentarima i beskompromisnoj borbi protiv nepravde, Rastoder donosi glas zajednice koja se često ne čuje, ali itekako postoji. Više od dvije decenije aktivan je u zajednici i medijima, gdje kroz analize, autorske kolumne i društveni angažman povezuje iskustvo života u Americi sa realnošću Balkana. Njegove priče otvaraju važne teme — od identiteta i politike, do kulture, dijaspore i društvenih transformacija. Prepoznat je kao glas dijaspore koji govori ono što mnogi misle, ali rijetko ko kaže.
