32. Problems in management of research
• Limited access to international publications, papers,
reviews, reports;
• Lack of English capacity (faculty, students);
• High competition for limited local funding;
• Lack of experience of involving in international
research;
• Lack of modern equipment for forestry research in
vivo and in vitro;
