ambitious regional coordinators. / Regional Authorities were
cancelled in October 2007./ The Report was set up by General
secretariat of Board of Ministers, subsequently submitted to the
Government and Parliament.

  the extent to which implementation of the plan meets
the objectives of the strategy;
 the effects on the drug phenomenon.
 The Final Report refered more or less on first two
objectives, and almost one half of its text was taken from
the NFP National Report for EMCDDA 2008 what can be
considered as the evidence based information and
recognition/acceptance of NFP mission and tasks.
