Former President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili criticized Kobakhidze's invitation and noted that the government is turning its back on the European Union and supporting Russian influence. At the same time, oc-media notes that Péter Magyar's invitation of Irakli Kobakhidze indicates that the ties of "Georgian Dream" with Viktor Orbán do not rule out the possibility of friendly relations in the future.
