Temporary office
There were also held the discussion around the possibility of setting up a temporarily office of HRH in Baku until the establishment of the House. The difficulties dealt with this step are connected with the expected rise of prices to happen in Azerbaijan soon. Therefore, it was agreed to wait for a few month until the budget for the temporarily office and the established House are updated.
Finally, the coordinator of the HRH Baku -Shahla Ismailova – updated the Core Group about the ongoing stages of the registration process and the difficulties connected with it.
