The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Georgia is disseminating a comment by the newly appointed ambassador Barbara Foss.

“The existing tension is weighing down Germany’s and the European Union’s relations with Georgia. Nevertheless, Germany’s active support for the country’s democratic and pro-European course remains unwaveringly strong,” - states Barbara Foss.
