An emergency assembly of European Union foreign leaders to discuss the Ukraine crisis has impacted on Georgia.
French and German Foreign Ministers were due to spend two days in Georgia but their visit has been postponed due to the tense developments in Ukraine.
It is still unclear how long the joint visit of Frenchman Laurent Fabius and Germany's Frank-Walter Steinmeier will be delayed. The pair's visit was scheduled for March 3 and 4.
Instead of coming to Georgia, the officials and other EU Foreign Ministers have been summoned to critically discuss the situation in Ukraine, where Russian troops have begun to establish a presence in Crimea. The assembly will be held tomorrow in Brussels.
A planned visit of EU Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighbourhood Policy, Stefan Fuele, has also been postponed by 24 hours for the same reason.
Fuele will also attend the meeting in Brussels and will arrive in Georgia on March 4. Within the framework of his visit, the EU Commissioner will meet with the Georgian President, Prime Minister, Speaker of Parliament, members of the Government and representatives of the opposition and civil sector.
