The European Commission's Directorate-General for Enlargement, in cooperation with the European Youth Press and cafebabel.com, launched the second European Young Journalist Award 2009.
From 2 February 2009 – 31 May 2009 young journalists aged 17 - 35, citizens or residents of the 27 member states of the EU or the candidate and potential candidate countries, are invited to participate in the 2009 European Young Journalist Award and to reflect and express their views on Europe and the European Union’s enlargement.

But will Hungary remain to be the only EU-member indigent for such support? What do Hungarians think about this help? And what is the price of this special first-aid?
