Gia Volski: Visa liberalization will not be discussed today, this topic will be discussed at the end of November, or in early December, but this discussion, which will take place today, will certainly be important for further discussions

I think today's session will be interesting and another proof that there are facts, perceptions and views regarding a certain political strategy that Europe has - this is a normal thing, this should not irritate us, - said the First Vice-Speaker of the Parliament, Gia Volski, speaking about the enlargement report and today's summit.

According to him, we have heard many assessments from the West that are absolutely out of touch with reality.

As Volski notes, visa liberalization will not be discussed in the enlargement report.

"Visa liberalization will not be discussed. The topic of visa liberalization will be discussed at the end of November, or in early December, but this discussion, which will take place today, of course, will be important for further discussions. If anyone is interested in the topic of visa liberalization, they should know that it does not consist only of the political assessments that we have heard more than once from Brussels, be its the European Parliament or other formats. Of course, this political component will be present when discussing this topic of visa liberalization, but there are also a number of issues related to Interpol assessments, cooperation in the fight against crime, the number of asylum requests, the number of border crossings, there are many technical issues that will also be taken into account. Ratings will definitely be taken into account, including the ratings commissioned by the European Commission. We hope for this. Since the these ratings, in fact, came to the conclusion that Georgia is not only advanced, but also ahead of a number of European countries in a number of indicators. Including, in terms of the management system, and when I say "we have hope" this does not mean that this hope will be realized. Of course, we have heard many assessments that are absolutely out of touch with reality, the truth, and most importantly, the basis for an attack to be carried out on Tbilisi does not require any additional arguments, since it is subject to a certain political goal. I think that in this regard, today's session will be interesting and another proof that there are facts, perceptions and views regarding a certain political strategy that Europe has. This is a normal story. We should not be irritated by this," - said Volski.
