Irakli Kobakhidze’s statement regarding European bureaucracy

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated while participating in the EU enlargement summit organized by Euronews in Brussels that the existing critical attitude toward European bureaucracy is not limited only to relations with Georgia.

The Prime Minister noted that the government is closely observing the economic processes, identity, and sovereignty-related issues taking place in the European Union. According to Kobakhidze, the economic situation of the European Union has changed compared to the indicators of 20 years ago, which is why he is optimistic that the policy of the European bureaucracy will change. 1TV+4
