“The clock is ticking and doors are starting to close and everyone has to realize that,” EU Ambassador Carl Hartzell told reporters when commenting on the talks between the opposition and the government.

According to him, he will not judge the decision of political parties, because, at the end of the day, it is for every party to draw their conclusions as to what is the right way forward.

“I said yesterday and this is still true today that the clock is ticking. With these applications for the resignation of mandates, we are entering into a process that would follow certain logic when it comes to what will happen in one-week time or a bit after that. So, the handling underlines that we are coming to the end game. We continue our efforts; we are having talks with different sides to see whether we can find a common ground that would lead to a broad-based agreement in the end. I’m absolutely convinced that Georgia needs a parliament that is able to function and take responsibility for very tough decisions, which is needed with Covid-19, and everything else happening,” the EU Ambassador declared.

The above remarks of the Ambassador were released by the Georgian Public Broadcaster.
