The current situation is serious and we brought this message as the closest friends of Georgia, please listen to us, there are ways to all this, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, Baiba Braže, told journalists in Tbilisi.

According to her, Georgia has chosen its own path to Europe, which is supported by its partners, however, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia emphasizes the country's obligations as well.

"I don't want to speculate. Once again, Georgia is a sovereign country, it chose its own path to Europe, to the European Union. So, our interest in this coincides with the interest of Georgia, since we support Georgia, Ukraine, Albania, and other countries on their path to the European Union. We believe that this is the right of every country. However, there are also obligations. Obligations related to the judicial system, there are many practical and difficult things to do. In the case of this law, this bill, how it was passed. Also, in terms of how the law enforcement officers treated the demonstrators - intimidation, arrests and so on - this is not normal. That was our message.

So get back, find out how to achieve your EU integration goal with these practical steps…

The situation is serious and we were very open, but very reserved. So what we discussed behind closed doors remains behind closed doors.

Once again, the current situation is serious and this is the message that we brought as friends, as partners, as the closest friends of Georgia. Please listen to us and there are ways to fix this," said Braže.
