According to the Ukrainian Embassy in Moldova, the document envisages that 105 citizens from Ukraine and Moldova will annually get the scholarships of the two countries to study in universities for public funds. In addition, three extra scholarships will be allocated for postgraduate education. Ukrainian Ambassador to Moldova Serhiy Pyrozhkov said that this would help, first and foremost, to meet the educational needs of the Ukrainian national minority in Moldova and, accordingly, the Moldovan national minority in Ukraine. From now on, any applicant will have the opportunity to enter higher education institutions in Ukraine or Moldova, speaking the official language of a country in which he or she wants to study. In addition, under the protocol, the parties will contribute to the functioning of educational institutions with instruction in the native language of a respective minority in both states. Therefore, Pyrozhkov said that the agreement reached between the parties on raising the skills of teachers of the Ukrainian language in Moldova and teachers of the Moldovan language in Ukraine was becoming especially important.
