[Valida Hromadzic]

Dear Sorina,

thank you for this detailed updated. As a representative from the NGO
from the region, One World Platform is totally aware of amount of work
that you have with SEEDIG legal structure. Kudos to you and the rest of
you who are involved in this process. It is overwhelming work.

Also, thank you for transparency, I do appreciate it.

For the rest of you from the list, I hope to see you soon in Ohrid.

Best,
