According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, Ilia Darchiashvili, the visit of the High Representative of the European Union Josep Borrell to Georgia will definitely bring a new impetus to Georgia-EU relations. On the one hand, and on the other hand it will have a significant impact on the relevant decisions.

As Darchiashvili told journalists, within the framework of the visit, the Georgian authorities will provide Josep Borrell with detailed information on the implementation of the 12 recommendations.

This visit is a special message that peace and security in our region is a high priority for the European Union. It is with these two dimensions that the main emphasis will be made. He will have meetings with all important state representatives. I think that this visit will definitely bring a new impetus to Georgia-EU relations on the one hand, and on the other hand it will have a significant impact on the relevant decisions," said Darchiashvili.
