    Will we also be announced if we are not selected? Or do we just assume that, if we got nothing so far, it’s a ‘no’?

    [Reply]

    Mladiinfo said:

    All of the applicants will be or have already been notified if they were selected or not. If you still didn’t receive a reply from us it is because we still haven’t selected the participant from your country.

    We received many applications from great candidates and we are very sorry to have to turn down some excellent individuals. At the moment we are still revising some applications in order to make the best decision.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.
