European bureaucrats are increasingly talking about the need to start a direct dialogue with Russia - as they intend to start a direct dialogue with Russia, they will probably also want to start a dialogue with the “pro-Russian government” of Georgia, - Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said when assessing the European Commission study, which emphasizes the importance of the Anaklia deep-sea port and the Black Sea submarine cable projects.

According to Kobakhidze, the study is an example of how an objective researcher sees the situation in Georgia.

He also noted that double standards are a serious problem in European bureaucracy today.

“When objective assessments are written in the European Union and documents based on empirical research are drawn up, everything is reflected there as it really is. This is often counterbalanced by harsh political statements that have no connection with objective reality.

The political context has completely changed. For example, the European Union’s attitude towards the Russian Federation has changed against this background. European bureaucrats are increasingly talking about starting a direct dialogue with Russia - as they are going to start a direct dialogue with Russia, they will probably also want to start a dialogue with the “pro-Russian government” of Georgia.

With this small digression, I would like to emphasize double standards. Today, double standards are a serious problem in European bureaucracy. We hope that the European Union will overcome serious problems in this regard,” said Irakli Kobakhidze.
