Mr. Geoffrey Borg from Malta is going to handle the seminar and the titles of Development Instructor, National Instructor and the FIDE Instructor will be issued at this seminar. FIDE has limited the seminar for 20 people on 1st come 1st serve basis. But we are in a process of increasing the number.
