Federica Mogherini, European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission, will visit Georgia next week.
The visit was announced on the EU webpage today.
The EU said Mogherini would come to Georgia after completing her November 9 visit to Ukraine. She was due to be in Georgia on Tuesday, November 10.
While in Georgia the EU top official was expected to meet President Giorgi Margvelashvili, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, Foreign Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili, Parliament Speaker David Usupashvili, leaders of the Parliamentary factions and civil society representatives.
Mogherini will also speak at the international high-level conference Achieving Gender Equality in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi. After this she would pay a field visit with the EU Monitoring Mission Georgia to the Administrative Boundary Line (ABL) that separates Georgia’s breakaway Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) region and the rest of the country.
After meeting with European Council President Donald Tusk in Belgium, Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili has held a number of official meetings with other high ranking EU representatives.
Georgia will do everything it can to positively resolve the visa liberalisation issue, said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili at today's meeting with the European Union's (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini.
Georgia’s Permanent Representative to the Council of Europe Konstantine Korkelia is condemning Russia’s actions of aligning itself closer with Georgia’s breakaway Abkhazia region, and his comments have been applauded by all but one Council of Europe member states.
Russia’s signature of a so-called treaty on ‘Alliance and Strategic Partnership’ with Georgia's breakaway region Abkhazia is detrimental to ongoing efforts to stabilise the security situation in the region, the European Union (EU) says.
"Georgia has fulfilled many significant obligations and should keep following the same path in order to get positive recommendation at the end of the year in terms of visa liberalisation,” believes European Union (EU) top official Federica Mogherini.
High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, Federica Mogherini, has congratulated Georgia’s Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikahsvili on appointing the post.
