Testimonials

Vladimir Lazov

The cooperation motivates and enables young people to set aside their differences, to set aside the differences in the countries that they live in and find mutual solutions for the common problems and challenges that we face everyday. generally as a youth. From my personal experience, I can say that the bilateral cooperation is one of the lessons and adventures that every young individual should be part of. It means it is a way forward, it means progress. prosperity and open opportunities that we must take. Upgrading the mindset, making new friends and contacts, learning from and for each other, becoming a leaders in our communities and uniqueness are some of the prizes that the cooperation brings to the young people.
