We, politicians, paid less attention, and it slipped past us that such a meeting could take place in Romania," said Dimitri Tskitishvili, one of the leaders of the "Gakharia for Georgia" party, on Palitra News' program "Free Studio", discussing the visit of Georgia’s parliamentary delegation to Romania.

According to Tskitishvili, Romania has been less active in cooperating with Georgia in recent years, which is why there was less attention toward them.

He stated that with this visit, "Georgian Dream" achieved a "small success."

"It can be said that they achieved a certain small success by making this visit happen. Parliamentary visits and parliamentary delegations operate in a slightly different format compared to high-level diplomatic relations, but I wouldn't say it is insignificant. Of course, this has great importance within the broader campaign that has been ongoing successfully so far.

We have seen that such high-level meetings have not taken place with the U.S. or EU member states, and this is the first case.

Considering the context, Europe is currently facing a very difficult, completely unexpected, and shocking situation. European countries are dealing with complex challenges and may be looking for new ways and approaches. For some countries, in this case, the Romanian Parliament, the situation in Georgia was not a sufficient reason to cancel this visit.

At the same time, we see that government delegations cannot visit Brussels or the EU institutions. A small gap has emerged, and "Georgian Dream" will likely try to build new diplomatic lines through it.

Our task, in this case, is to counterbalance this. In our interactions with our partners, we must constantly emphasize that democracy in Georgia is experiencing a radical decline, there are political prisoners, and Georgia is a victim of hybrid warfare.

There was even an unsuccessful attempt to interfere in elections in Romania. Therefore, we must present the situation from this perspective.

I would say that we, politicians, including all parties, may have paid slightly less attention to this issue, and it slipped past us that such a meeting could take place in Romania—a country that, in recent years, has not been particularly active in cooperation with Georgia. As a result, we may have devoted less attention to this matter, but I believe this can be corrected," said Dimitri Tskitishvili.
