Three locations in Georgia's west - the Black Sea port city of Poti, Imereti provincial capital Kutaisi, and Zugdidi in the Samegrelo region - will receive up to €30,000 in European Union funding to develop strategies for their cultural and creative sectors, as part of the EU4Culture project launched this year to support Eastern Partnership countries.

With the awards ceremony in Tbilisi on Wednesday, the Georgian cities have become the recipients of the grants that saw submissions from 70 locations from five of the six states of the EU's Eastern Partnership. The latter includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
