“In the European Union, meetings are often held to which Georgia is not invited. On topics related to enlargement and connectivity, Georgia is not invited, and it gives the impression that these meetings are organized solely in order not to invite Georgia and thereby create some kind of one-day domestic agenda to discuss this issue. It is simply uninteresting — far more important events are taking place in the world, and very significant processes are unfolding in our region, and it is more important to keep an eye on them,” said Georgian Vice Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili in a conversation with journalists.
