Vladimir Radunović is originally from Europe, and he still lives in
Europe.

Anja Kovacs is originally from Europe, although she now lives in India.

I therefore do not think that European perspectives are
underrepresented.

(It is true that neither of these represents the political entity “EU”.
Representing political entities is however not part of the role of
civil society in the first place, IMO.)
