The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup”, in partnership with the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) in Brussels, has announced the results of the first call of its essay contest on the Association Agreements and DCFTAs between the European Union and Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine.
The first finalists are Dinu Codreanu, 27, and Bogdan Cuza, 16, both from Chișinău. The organisers praised the professionalism of Codreanu’s policy analysis and the maturity with which Cuza, a high-school pupil, treated the subject of the European Union. Marina Rabinovych from Odesa, Ukraine, and Rodian Rusnac from Chișinău were preselected for second place.
The first call was launched at the end of December, with a deadline of 31 March 2017. Essays had to be written in English with good linguistic quality, and the best are rewarded with EUR 500 each. A second call with similar criteria has been launched, with a deadline of 31 August 2017. The contest is part of a project supported by Sida and coordinated by CEPS, together with partners in Kyiv, Tbilisi and Chișinău.
