The Central European Initiative (CEI) is composed of 18 Member States: Albania, Austria, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine. They embrace a territory of 2.4 million square kilometres and a population of nearly 250 million. The CEI was the first regional co-operation forum on the political map of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and has among all regional groupings the longest tradition and covers the largest area. It was established in 1989 by Austria, Italy, Hungary and Yugoslavia with the aim of establishing a platform of mutual political, economic, scientific and cultural co-operation called Quadrangular Co-operation. From its very inception the CEI has promoted cohesion and solidarity among its Member States. In recent years it has emerged as one of the foremost platforms for regional co-operation. One of the CEI main objectives is to bring the countries of Central, Eastern and South-eastern Europe closer together and assist them in their preparation process for EU membership through economic, human and institutional development. http://www.ceinet.org. detalii aici: http://www.vilenica.si/index.php?page=169&lang=2 forma aplicativa aici: http://www.vilenica.si/files/1267629747CEI_fellowship-2010.pdf forma de inregistrare: http://www.vilenica.si/files/1267629760registration_form.pdf sursa:culturenet -- Moldova Young Artists Association "Oberliht" http://www.oberliht.org.md . . . . . . . . . . . http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist portal informational pentru arta si cultura din Moldova information gateway for arts and culture from Moldova _______________________________________________ oberlist mailing list [email protected] http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist
