The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed this EIUC initiative and decided to grant the patronage for its training seminars for International Electoral Observers.

In the inauguration day of the course the PESC Unit will be represented by Ms Elisabetta Martini, Diplomatic Officer, and by Ms Silvia Vinci, responsible for the pre-selection of EU electoral observers for the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
