Given the special circumstances created by the COVID-19 outbreak, the TWP team made considerable efforts to adjust to the challenging situation and made its best to meet TWP goals. Therefore, once relaunching the TWP implementation (on June 1, 2020), all activities are taking place remotely using technological tools for virtual meetings.

In this regard, several on-line meetings were held with all EU and Beneficiary Country stakeholders addressing issues related to TWP implementation and possible shortcomings related to remote implementation of the Project.
