David Zalkaliani: Charles Michel will have the opportunity to meet with representatives of various parties and discuss ways for dialogue and de-escalation of the situation

According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, Davit Zalkaliani, the President of the European Council will have the opportunity to meet with representatives of various political parties and discuss the political situation inside the country.

As Zalkaliani points out, everything must be done to find a way out of the current situation.

"Naturally, we will also talk about the situation inside the country. The President of the European Council will have the opportunity to meet with representatives of various political parties, discuss the political situation inside the country and the ways that are necessary for the de-escalation of the situation and dialogue. Everything must be done to find a way out of the current situation, which is important in this situation, in this geopolitical background that is created around our country.

The visit of the President of European Council to Georgia is important against the background of the developments in the region. Especially in terms of assessing the geopolitical situation, as well as in terms of our close coordination. This will be one of the important topics to be discussed - in addition to the situation in the occupied territories.

It is important that the President will visit and see the occupation line with his own eyes. I think he will once again be convinced of the illegal actions of the Russian Federation in the occupied territories. It must be noted that after the visit of EU High Representative Joseph Borrell to Moscow, where the issue of the occupied territories was raised at a high level with the Russian authorities - in this context, the visit of the EUCO President to Georgia is very important.

According to Davit Zalkaliani, the Eastern Partnership issue will also be discussed during the visit.

"Naturally, we will discuss the situation within the Eastern Partnership. It should be noted that his visit was planned during the visit of the President and Prime Minister of Georgia to Brussels. The President will visit Ukraine and Moldova together with Georgia. This year is important for the Eastern Partnership - which is an important project. We are preparing for the summit and those countries that have deeper integration into the EU have expectations. We are talking about associate members - Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova. In this regard, in terms of our expectations, this visit will be a good opportunity to discuss the main directions", - said Zalkaliani.
