The prime minister made the remark at a Tbilisi meeting with Czech foreign minister Jan Lipavsky, calling his country a “reliable ally” of the EU in the region and adding the visit of the  minister during the Czech Republic’s chairmanship of the Council of the EU reaffirmed “strong support” for Georgia’s European integration. 

In the latter context, the officials welcomed the “important progress” of the country on its integration path, noting a number of “important and interesting discussions” held at the European Political Community summit in Prague last month.
