Russian parliamentary international affairs spokesman Konstantin Kosachev hopes that the dialogue between Moscow and Tbilisi will be restored after the victory of Salome Zurabishvili in Georgia’s presidential elections.

According to him, the outcome of the election is “moderately positive”, but does not exclude the street confrontation in Georgia.

"I do not expect sharp changes in the direction of Russia. However, taking into consideration the fact that Salome Zurabishvili is an experienced and pragmatic politician, I would like to hope that the dialogue space will not be reduced at least and it will be better if it increases. The dialogue is now in the interests of both countries, "Kosachev said.

The Russian Senator also noted that Zurabishvili's victory means stability for Georgia.
