Dear Mladiinfo, I wrote a letter to the e-mail you posted, and that was one week ago. Still no response. Can you advice me some other way to get in touch with the organiser?
Thank you in advance.
Hi, Mara,
Well, apparently it must be the fact that people may still apply – the deadline is the 20th May. So, I would advise you to be a bit patient and wait until the deadline at least.
Best,
Kristina,

I'm sorry but I don't really understand what you want to say. If I wait until the deadline, then how can I apply?
Ok so for example, can you please you answer me one of the questions.
You wrote, that students can apply, but on the official page says that it's for people with finished high education "Програмата е намената за млади луѓе со завршено високо образование …" So which one is it?
I have also other questions, that I need to know before the deadline.
Hello Mladiinfo, this application is only aimed for youg people not for students? I'm student (third year) so it means that I can not apply?
Thank you
Dear Aneta
The Eligibility criteria states that in order to apply you must have the average grade of the higher education to be equal or greater than 8,5. Which means that you can be a student. Therefore, you can apply.
Regards,
Dijana

hi, Aneta,
I think that maybe only Master's students can apply, if, as they have already accomplished their higher education (Bachelor's degree).
But, that is my guess, unfortunately.
Best,

Dear Mara,
aahh, there was a misunderstanding, I thought you have already applied and now you are just waiting. My apologies then.
Well, it is written (both in Macedonian and English): "The Program is intended for young people with accomplished higher education", so I think you can be a student – but only a Master's student, as you would have accomplished a Bachelor's degree (i.e. higher education).
And why they are not replying, I have no clue, because they probably are all in the pre-election campaigns. (((
Good luck,
Kristina,
