The Ambassador of the European Union to Georgia, Pawel Herczynski, was summoned to a meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Georgia, Maka Botchorishvili in connection with statements made during an event on Georgia held at the European External Action Service in Brussels.

At the meeting, the Minister underscored that the current policy of Brussels toward Georgia, as well as the steps taken and statements issued in relation to the country, undermine trust between the parties and adversely affect the Georgia-EU partnership.

Regrettably, the actions undertaken by Brussels can only be assessed as contributing to further polarization within Georgian society and as fostering a radicalized political agenda.

The Minister further noted that the Government of Georgia has consistently demonstrated its readiness for constructive dialogue and expects from the European Union an approach based on fairness and mutual respect.
