Nearly half from 25 supported Projects submitted their first Reports to the Joint Technical Secretariat. To make reporting process easier to everybody, general provisions on reporting, specific Narrative and Financial reporting aspects, as well as communication issues were presented by Latvian and Estonian speaking JTS staff and discussed during the first Reporting seminars for the beneficiaries and partners. Seminars took place in Riga, Latvia on 14 November and Tartu, Estonia on 15 November and will be followed by identical seminars in Russian in Pskov and St.Peterburg, Russia on 27 and 28 November, 2012.
