Today and tomorrow, top envoys from EU member states, high officials from Georgia, EU institutions and partner countries, representatives from the business sector and local on-governmental organisations (NGOs) will converge in the Black Sea resort town to take part in an international conference.

The two-day event, titled "Georgia’s European Way” began today and was organised by the office of the State Minister of Georgia on European and Euro-Atlantic Integration.
