Georgia and the EU will sign several deals tomorrow in Brussels at what will be the first of a new, unique format of meeting between the two parties. The deals will provide up to €231 million in support for Georgian education, economy and businesses.

The Georgian delegation will be headed by Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze, and the EU representation by President of the European Commission Jean Claude Juncker.

The high level meeting is a new and a unique format of cooperation that the EU has initiated only with Georgia and no other countries. The format indicates the dynamics of Georgia-EU relations and provides opportunities for further enhancement of ties,” the Georgian Foreign Ministry reports.

The economy, trade and communications, education, science, culture, innovations, justice, internal security and civil protection will all be among the issues discussed at  the meeting.

While in Brussels Bakhtadze is scheduled to meet with the European Council President Donald Tusk, participate in an event organised by the Carnegie Hall and meet with the Georgian diaspora.
