Prime Minister of Georgia Bidzina Ivanishvili says that he convinced the Polish and Swedish foreign ministers visiting Tbilisi that the Georgias future would be stable.

"Polish and Swedish FMs have some doubts about the future stability of Georgia which is normal because two leading officials are leaving politics simultaneously, said Ivanishvili during a joint news conference with Swedish and Polish Foreign Ministers, Carl Bildt and Radoslaw Sikorski on October 23.

Ivanishvili noted that the Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili will leave the office on November 17, and he will be quitting in a week after the inauguration of new president before November 24.

"I assured the guests that the situation would be stable. They have concerns that the process of restarting the justice will last too long. I agree with them. It is not my interest to look back and to think only about punishment all the time. Our goal is to unite Georgia and continue our aspiration to Europe, Ivanishvili said.

Polish FM agreed the Georgian PM that Europe is not the place of political revenge. Sikorski also noted that he had had a meeting with a person that quit the Prime Ministers post voluntarily which is an unprecedented fact.
