Internship experience continues with training sessions on Anti-money laundering and assets recovery, as well as on legal approximation process

The 150 interns of the two Internship programmes – one funded by the EU and Denmark, and one by the national budget – continued yesterday their series of training sessions, with two topics: anti-money laundering and assets recovery; and the legal approximation process.

The first part was delivered by Irina Cruceru, Programme Manager within the EU Delegation to Moldova and Zydrunas Bartkus, Senior Non Key Expert on Anti-Money Laundering and Asset Recovery of the ‘Moldova is Europe – Support for EU Integration’ project.

The challenges of legal approximation process were presented by Deputy Team Leader of the above-mentioned project, Primoz Vehar.

Interns addressed questions which helped them better understand the subject – how citizens can signal fraud cases, what is the success rate of most important asset recovery cases, what are the most challenging sectors for Moldova to negotiate on.

The Internship Programme implies weekly training sessions with various lecturers – national and international experts, aimed at strengthening interns’ skills. The Programme lasts two months, offering students, master students and recent graduates the possibility to work in public institutions, hand in hand with civil servants, and receive a monthly scholarship of 250 Euro.
