The preliminary deployment agenda is as follows:

Volunteers/Interpreters would meet their international observers in their region/city on the 28th of February. The international observers are deployed in groups of two usually gender-balanced (one woman and one man) and are appointed to one Volunteer/Interpreter. In case that there are many Volunteers in one city/region in Slovakia Volunteers can also work in shifts.
