Peer Krumrey has been with the FES since 2016. Following his work on the Northern Europe project at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP), he initially managed country projects for Northern Europe and the United Kingdom in Germany, as well as the work of the European Office in Brussels. From 2017 to 2018, he worked for the FES in Lebanon and headed three FES projects in the Baltic states from 2019 to 2022. From 2022 to 2026, he worked as a social affairs officer at the German Embassy in Belgrade, seconded by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, with responsibility for Serbia and Montenegro.
Krumrey studied Modern and Contemporary History, Political Science and Northern European Studies at Humboldt University in Berlin and Uppsala University. His final thesis examined approaches to peace and neutrality in Swedish foreign policy following the Second World War. He is now bringing his longstanding regional expertise in Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltic Sea region, as well as his experience in analysing developments in foreign, security and socio-political affairs into FriEnt’s work.
“In these politically challenging times, I am pleased to be working with FriEnt at the intersection of the need for clear security policy and confidence-building approaches. Experience from regions with long-standing conflicts shows that, even in times of deep polarisation, there are ways to bridge divides,” says Peer Krumrey.
We look forward to working with Peer Krumrey and warmly welcome him to the FriEnt team!
