What about Macedonia?
Dear Anja,
I feel like I am attacked by your upright question.
Ad 1) What about changing your form of question.
Ad 2) If you clicked on the official webpage above, you would see the list of countries eligible. Macedonia is not in there.
Ad 3) Macedonia does not have a National Agency, which could also tell you that participants from there are not eligible.
Best,
