Strategic approach towards Eastern Europe
CDN proposes to participate more in the joint projects and that one FYEG EC member is involved in the prep-teams.
French Young Greens became partner organisation to CDN, will most likely change it to observership because there’s no point in having MOs without specific historical Eastern background in CDN (such as Poland, Cheh, Slovakia, Baltic countries, Germany).
CDN proposes to work together on long-term strategies
Next GA might be in the Caucasus (East of Turkey/Georgia)...idea to have wider FYEG EC representation there
