On the first working day of the assembly the elections of coordinators for every country of the Eastern Partnership took place. Members of the Belarusan delegation elected Ulad Vialichka, CEO of the International Consortium “EuroBelarus”, to be the Belarusan National Coordinator of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum.

On the 2^nd day of the Forum the elections of coordinators of five working groups (two coordinators for each group, where one is a representative of the countries-partners, the other one is a representative of the EU countries) took place. By results of the vote, one more representative from Belarus became the coordinator of 3^rd working group of the Forum – Nastassia Bekish, who represents the “green Network” Ecologic Association.

Ulad Vialichka and Nastassia Bekish are the members of the new Executive Committee of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum.
