Can people from Serbia apply too?
Dear Bojan,
Since Serbia is not listed on the list of eligible countries, therefor Serbian applicants are not eligible for this opportunity. However, you can double-check this information with the organizers, but it doesn't quite promise anything.
Kind regards,
Mladiinfo team
Bojan, it states that people from South East Europe are eligible to apply. This should cover the Balkans, including Serbia. Perhaps the best thing to do is to e-mail the organisers. The contact details of the organisers are given in the link above.
Im from Marocco can i apply too..??
Dear Mohamed Ali,
Unfortunately Morroco is not included in the list of the eligible countries, therefore Morrocan candidates cannot apply for this training.
Best regards,
