After short discussions, it was decided that because the National Platform is seen as a discussion forum/site of the interested CSOs, the National Platform should be open for all CSOs interested in the EaP. This is aligned with the goals of the Eastern Partnership and Moldova's European aspirations. The only limitation imposed is that only CSOs who have been registered for at least 2 years and are currently active could join the National Platform. |
