Switalski: EU to continue support Armenia
ArmInfo. The European Union will continue to assist Armenia. Head of the European Union Delegation to Armenia Piotr Switalski stated on April 10 in Yerevan, announcing the launch of a grant program to strengthen the role of
civil society with a total budget of 1.5 million EUR.
The diplomat stressed the importance of maintaining the important
role of civil society and the media, along with improving the
effectiveness of public administration. "The European Union has
concluded negotiations with Armenia on a new framework agreement on
deep and expanded partnership. In addition, in June, it is planned to
complete the negotiations on the support program (Single Support
Framework). The logic of support will change: the European Union will
expect more initiative from Armenia. The country's authorities will
have to decide in which sectors support is more effective and focus
on them," the ambassador said.
He also refused to comment on the topics of the parliamentary
elections held in Armenia.
The goal of the grant program is to find new projects that will make
Armenia healthier, safer, cleaner and more stable.
