During the 30th Congress session in March 2016, we interviewed two youth delegates, Nina Panikova (Slovak Republic), and Lena Vybíralová (Czech Republic). Nina participated at the Environment Forum of her university in Banská Bystrica, and did an internship at the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) in Vienna. Lena studies International Relations in Prague and is the academic coordinator of a student society for human rights and democracy, and works at Amnesty International. 

Nina and Lena gave us some insights into the work of their organisations and their experiences during the Congress sessions, and discussed the situation of Roma in the Slovak Republic, which was covered by the Congress report on local and regional democracy in the Slovak Republic.
