We have familiarized them (the MEPs) with our views regarding Georgia’s internal policy,” Kobakhidze said. 

Head of Parliament’s European Integration Committee, Maka Bochorishvili, says that methods of changing the politician situation in the country were discussed. 

We have also discussed democratic reforms which should be carried out in Georgia,” Bochorishvili said.
