The annual average level of assistance to Armenia, in the framework of the so-called bilateral assistance program in 2019 will reach 70 million Euros from the previous 35 million, outgoing EU ambassador to Armenia Piotr Switalski said at a news conference today.
The EU diplomat said that quite constructive negotiations are being held with the government on what to address the means.
“I am convinced that by the end of the year the documents will be finalized. As of now, I will not reveal on what the 70 million euros will be addressed to,” he said.
Switalski stressed that the EU will soon start technical discussions about the next financial allocations.
“What will happen after 2021 will be discussed now in Brussels,” the EU diplomat said.
