Salome Zurabishvili to the authorities: There are some things that cannot be said, for example, that the European Union expects a second front from us

I address the authorities: there are some things that cannot be said, there are some accusations, for example, that the European Union expects a second front from us, which are unacceptable, President Salome Zurabishvili said at the briefing after meeting with MEPs.

Salome Zurabishvili called the Government's current relationship with foreign partners ping-pong and urged the authorities to "convert the dialogue into another format".

"If we really want the thing that 85% of our society actually supports, we only need to work, work together and make clear what we agree on and what we don't agree on - it can only be done together and it's very easy for everyone to understand. The greatest responsibility, first of all, in this case, lies with the majority, because the main levers are in the hands of the majority - be it in the Parliament or in the Government.

This process also requires a constructive opposition, which will not oppose everything. However, once again, the main responsibility lies with the Government and the population knows this well. For this, we need to move to work from the mode of wrestling with each other, which we can see not only inside but also outside the country, when, for example, we heard a kind of ping-pong with MEPs. I also said that sometimes it is better if there are no answers and I called for this dialogue to be transformed into slightly different format. However, I address the authorities: there are some things that cannot be said, there are some accusations, for example, that the European Union expects a second front from us, which are unacceptable. Under these conditions, we cannot start any form of dialogue with people who come here to show us in every possible way that they support this very difficult process of ours, which will lead us to the candidate status", said Salome Zurabishvili.
