Representatives from civil society organizations in both countries participated in the review. Discussions centered on evaluating the program’s effectiveness and identifying areas for improvement. The program aims to strengthen Romania’s anti-trafficking systems and protect vulnerable children. Further details regarding specific outcomes were not immediately released.
