As of Saturday, domestic companies can express interest for engagement of foreign experts through the project implemented by the Government.

"A focus of the second call will be given to SMEs", said Government Spokesman Aleksandar Gjorgjiev at Friday's press conference.

Companies from all sectors can apply, with the state covering 95 percent of costs, whereas results are mostly seen through the job openings.

Companies with at least 51 percent domestic capital, existing for at least two years and having 5-250 employees are eligible to apply.

The Government expects the cycle to be as successful as the first one, when 98 companies applied, of which 85 percent expressed the need for extension of the experts' engagement.
