In order to clarify the recent misunderstanding in the media concerning the lists of beneficiaries of the Regie grant to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we would like to underline the following:
In response to the Cabinet’s wish to support defaulted students abroad due to the Corona Virus pandemic; by virtue of the Law 161 dated 14/05/2020, the Regie has offered through the Ministry of Finance a grant to the Council of Ministers in accordance to the applicable provisions, whereas the money has been allocated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At such point, the mission of the Regie has stopped and it has had no opinion in defining the mechanism and the criteria of allocating the contribution to the students abroad.
