Our experience shows that not all the winners of the competitive selection can implement projects, so for this case we have created a waiting list in ranked order.

If during the process of signing agreements a saving of the amount is revealed, or if someone from the main list of winners of the competitive selection refuses to implement the project, the agreement will be concluded with the first one from the waiting list, and then in descending order.

We will write a detailed explanation of the reason to those applicants who did not pass the competitive selection.

We will send Documents for signing to the winners of the competitive selection soon.
