It must be further developed by joint efforts. I became more knowledgeable in the field of anti-corruption activities, took part in the discussions with speakers, and met like-minded people. I would like to keep on working, to execute projects for the support of our country”, – mentioned Oleksandra Kovalenko, a DSUIA’s cadet.
