Generation 2004 is proud to announce the submission of its full list of 40 candidates for the Luxembourg Local Staff Committee elections, which will take place from 25 November to 8 December 2025.
Our list represents one of the broadest cross-sections of Commission staff in Luxembourg with colleagues from 10 different DGs, based in 6 buildings, and representing 20 nationalities. It reflects our strong commitment to gender balance, a fair mix of AST/SC, AST, AD, Contract Agents, including several Temporary Agents.
With this, we officially launch our electoral campaign, not with slogans or empty promises, but with a clear and constructive vision for the future of our institution and its people.
We invite you to support Generation 2004 – the staff association that stands for a modern, fair, and motivated European civil service, built on merit, transparency and inclusiveness.
- Because Generation 2004 doesn’t just criticise, we analyse, propose and deliver concrete, well-founded solutions based on evidence and dialogue.
- Because Generation 2004 looks forward, not backward promoting HR policies that reflect today’s realities and prepare us for tomorrow’s challenges.
- Because Generation 2004 believes that the status quo is not an option. We think creatively, act collectively and shape our priorities together with colleagues on the ground.
Meet our team
My name is Borislav Gueorguiev. After working for several years as an IT engineer in Paris, I joined the European Commission in 2007 as a translator in DGT. It was a great time: everything was new and interesting, and I knew almost nothing about the Kinnock reform, which had already created inequalities among staff across the institutions. But over time I saw our working conditions deteriorate as we were asked to do more with less. Then came the 2014 reform, which only increased inequalities and created more precarious jobs.
In response to these negative developments, I decided to get involved with Generation 2004. For the past three years I have represented you on the Local Staff Committee (LSC). As staff representatives, we have covered many areas, with particular attention to Luxembourg-specific issues. I have mainly helped colleagues draft self-assessments and appeals, and taken part in meetings with directors-general to ensure, as far as possible, fair and equal treatment for all colleagues.
As a member of the Promotion Committee, I have always seen our role as ensuring that the process is transparent and governed by clear rules. It has also been very important to me to advise colleagues in delicate situations, with the full support of my organisation, Generation 2004. This is one of our greatest strengths: we are here to defend everyone, whether or not they are our members.
With the growing challenges we face as civil servants, and the upcoming large-scale review that could further jeopardise our working conditions and social rights, we need strong staff representation more than ever. Vote for me. Vote for Generation 2004, and empower us to stand up for you!
I am Anna, a Swedish AST official who joined the EU in 1996. Before that, I worked in Sweden’s private sector as an airfreight forwarder and in international trade within the pulp and paper industry.
I believe the health and well-being of staff should always come first. Over the years, I’ve seen more colleagues struggle with burnout, heavy workloads, lack of support, and even harassment. This must change.
I am committed to improving our workplace by promoting flexibility in teleworking, ensuring transparency and fairness in appointments and promotions, and creating equal opportunities for mobility. I want to make sure staff have a voice in shaping a modern, inclusive, and attractive organisation.
If elected, I will focus on:
– Defending our statutory rights.
– Trying to improve the JSIS system to better meet real needs.
– Monitoring measures to address Luxembourg’s high living costs.
– Advocating for more transparency in appointments and promotions.
In my free time, I enjoy walking, biking, cooking, singing in a choir, and spending time with my family, including my two Shih-Tzu dogs. I remain optimistic that, together, we can create a better workplace for all.
My name is Miroslav, I come from Croatia, and I started working for the Commission in 2014 as a translator, while I have a degree in Economics.
I started getting progressively active in staff matters during the last several years as I noticed a gap between staff rights and their enforcement in practice. I am currently serving a second 2-year mandate in the Permanent Delegation of Translators (DPT), advocating for translators in their representative body. Over the years, I have become more and more engaged with staff representatives on a number of topics while gathering knowledge of the workarounds of our Institution. This naturally lead to this to my candidacy in these local elections.
I would like to call upon of you, my colleagues, to engage. Do not let in to lethargy. Do not let things just happen to you. I know it’s hard – work, kids, life itself – but being proactive is the only way things will get better. Vote for the people you trust, and most importantly, engage with them during their mandates and hold them accountable.
My focus will include fighting against misuse of power, improving wellbeing and life-work balance of each and every one of us individually and not based on any imposed general standard that leaves many behind, advocating for rights of persons with special needs, and the promotion of the right to increased telework, including from anywhere, as so many of us have learned during covid and afterwards that an imposed local telework hardly makes sense. A job is what you do, and not where you do it.
I am an Electrical Engineer with over 30 years of experience in technical project management, building infrastructure, and team leadership in both the private sector and the European Commission. Since 2015 I have been working at the Commission’s OIL in Luxembourg, where I currently lead the Electricité et Câblage unit, in charge of electrical installations, data networks, and infrastructure projects across all European Commission buildings.
I chose to join Generation 2004 because I believe in a modern, transparent, and fair administration that protects staff interests with independence and integrity.
If elected, I commit to:
• Promoting safer and more efficient technical workplaces through evidence-based policy improvements.
• Enhancing transparency and fairness in staff procedures, especially in the recognition of responsibilities and career development.
• Strengthening communication between technical services, management, and staff, ensuring that colleagues’ concerns are genuinely heard and addressed.
My active work experience began as early as my third year at the university in Sofia where I studied finance and international tourism. I had the chance to run my own small business for more than 10 years before joining the Commission. My experience in the private sector helped me learn a lot about the practical management of a micro-enterprise and the real-life labour relations from the employer’s perspective.
Languages and translation have always been an important part of my life, and this is why I was very happy to join DGT as translator in 2007. Moving from the private to the public sector was an important shift for me, changing my pespective and broadening significantly my worldview.
Since then, however, I have witnessed a non-negligeable number of unfounded decisions and cases of injustice. The urgent matters now are the unbearable situation of ASTs/SCs, the lack of attractiveness of the Luxembourg site (leading to understaffing and very high workload), the buildings policy and the related working conditions, the rising cost of living. Now is the time to respond to all that!
MANIFESTO
Our priorities for these elections aim to shape and defend our F. U. T. U. R. E. as Commission staff:
We strongly believe these priorities are crucial to ensure transparency and professionalisation and to help addressing the upcoming challenges in terms of career, working environment and our rights. That is why we are fully committed to putting all our efforts to ensure equal treatment for all staff!

If you believe that all staff should be given a voice, then:
