The Congress, which consists of the representatives of all the Member States, meets in ordinary assembly every two years. Its main functions are
to adopt the budget,
to define the general direction of the Union,
to receive the new Member States formally, and
to elect and appoint different Member States to be the Presidents, Vice-Presidents, and members of the sub-organisations of the Union.
A President and two Vice-Presidents are also elected by the Congress. Oleg Serebrian from Republic of Moldova is the current President (since December 2010).
There are also two auxiliary bodies of the Congress, namely, the Commission of Adhesions and the Commission of Candidacies.
The Commission of Adhesions is composed of 10 Member States and responsible for promoting the adhesions of all the Member States of the Union.
The Commission of Candidacies is composed of 9 Member States and responsible for examining the validity of the candidacies, taking account of the geographical and linguistic-cultural division.
